FILE TAGS

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 — fourth day.

RENDERING NOTES

“And it was evening” = וַיְהִי־עֶרֶב (vayhi-erev), consistent phrase from prior creation days.

“And it was morning” = וַיְהִי־בֹקֶר (vayhi-voqer), parallel structure.

“Fourth day” = יוֹם רְבִיעִי (yom revi‘i), ordinal use of “four” matching day-sequence formula.

Em dash used in English to indicate poetic pause between sequence and day name.

INSERTION / HELPER WORD TRACKING

No insertions needed.

Em dash used for pacing — matches structural cadence of Hebrew.

Articles (“the”) not added to “day” as not present in Hebrew text.

CONTEXTUAL PLACEMENT

Concludes the fourth creation day, specifically the creation and assignment of luminaries (vv.14–18).

Marks temporal closure — evening/morning cycle confirms time-function alignment.

STRUCTURAL ALIGNMENT NOTES

Echoes refrain from vv.5, 8, 13 — establishing liturgical cadence.

Serves as a rhythmic checkpoint in the creation narrative.

Embeds pattern recognition — sacred time begins in evening.
