And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
-
God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
-
God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
-
And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years,
-
and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so.
-
God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
-
God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth,
-
to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.

Send one of your number to get your brother; the rest of you will be kept in prison, so that your words may be tested to see if you are telling the truth. If you are not, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!”
-
But you must bring your youngest brother to me, so that your words may be verified and that you may not die.” This they proceeded to do.

-
You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do.

When Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt;
-
hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation.
-
No one could see anyone else or move about for three days. Yet all the Israelites had light in the places where they lived.
-
By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.
-
coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.

-
So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all the words the Lord had commanded him to speak.
-
On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled.
