INTRO

This file gives a minimal English phrasing of the original line, built directly from the Line Source File.

It’s readable, but not smoothed. Nothing is added beyond what’s traceable.

RENDERED LINE

And it was evening, and it was morning — the third day.

RENDERING NOTES

“And it was evening” = וַיְהִי־עֶרֶב (vayhi-erev), standard close to the creative day.

“And it was morning” = וַיְהִי־בֹקֶר (vayhi-voqer), in sequence with evening.

“The third day” from יוֹם שְׁלִישִׁי (yom shelishi) — masculine singular ordinal structure.

Follows identical syntactic pattern to Genesis 1:5 and 1:8.

INSERTION / HELPER WORD TRACKING

Em dash added for rhythm and pause before day identifier.

“The” before “third day” added for English readability.

No interpretive or smoothing language included.

CONTEXTUAL PLACEMENT

Concludes the third day of creation, which encompassed land emergence (v.9), naming (v.10), and vegetation (vv.11–12).

The refrains “evening” and “morning” function as temporal bookends and sacred pacing markers.

STRUCTURAL ALIGNMENT NOTES

Third repetition of the evening-morning formula, anchoring Genesis 1’s rhythm.

Each repetition strengthens the cycle of order, closure, and progression.

Prepares reader for the shift to celestial bodies in verse 14.
