Time in the Priestly Creation Narrative: The Fourth Day (Gen 1:14-19)

Summary/Abstract: The temporal organization of the cosmos seems to be an important, though sometimes ignored, element of the priestly creation narrative in Gen 1,1-2,4a. Its logic is based on the axis determined by the first, fourth, and seventh days of creation: the creation of luminaries, of celestial bodies, and finally the consecration of the Sabbath. In this article, the author takes up a critical reflection on the central element of the axis: the description of the fourth day of creation in Gen 1,14-19. In analyzing the structural and semantic dimensions of this text, the author emphasizes the unique place and role of the celestial bodies in the description of the created world.
