“There was evening and there was morning, a third day.“
Genesis 1:13
An evening and a morning constituting a cycle of ‘day’. This may not have been LIGHT related, but another kind of cycle – since the sun and other stars had not yet been created. It was a set period of time, however, regardless what the cycle was based on.
In this day, God completed His work with the Earth and therefore gave the designation ‘good’ that was missing on day two.
In this day, the Earth was established as a living entity whose two main purposes are to produce (Genesis 1:11; Zechariah 8:12) and witness the glory of God (Deuteronomy 32:1; Isaiah 1:2).
