What Does Genesis 1:13 Mean And there was evening• God brings Day 3 to a close with the same phrase used on the first two days (Genesis 1:5, 8), underscoring a real, rhythmic sunset that ends a literal calendar day. • Scripture often marks the start of a day at sundown: “From evening to evening you shall celebrate your Sabbath” (Leviticus 23:32). Genesis 1:13 sets that pattern in motion. • Evening’s arrival signals that the creative work of that day is complete and perfectly timed (Psalm 104:19; Exodus 16:12-13). And there was morning • Dawn follows dusk, highlighting God’s orderly design. He doesn’t leave creation in darkness; He ushers in light once more (2 Corinthians 4:6). • Morning reveals what God finished the previous daylight period—on Day 3 the dry land and every seed-bearing plant (Genesis 1:9-12). • Morning stands throughout Scripture as a metaphor for fresh mercy: “His compassions never fail.

The late Hugh Miller identified the long-continued epoch of profuse vegetation, since then unparalleled in rapidity and luxuriance, which deposited the coal-measures of the carboniferous system, with the latter half of this Mosaic day. Dana, Dawson, and others, rejecting this conclusion of the eminent geologist on the ground that the underlying Devonian, Silurian, and Cambrian systems yield abundant fossiliferous remains of aquatic life, infer that the third day's vegetation is to be sought for among the "unresolved schists" of the Azoic period. The metamorphic rocks, it is true, have not as yet yielded any absolutely certain traces of vegetable life; and. indeed, it is an open question, among geologists whether any of the earliest formed metamorphic rocks now remain (cf. Green's 'Geology,' p. 308); but still it is susceptible of almost perfect demonstration that plants preceded animals upon the earth.1. Among the hypozoic strata of this early period limestone rocks and graphite have been discovered, both of these being of organic origin. 2. In the process of cooling the earth must have been fitted for vegetable life a long time before animals could have existed. 3. As the luxuriant vegetation of the coal period prepared the way for the subsequent introduction of animal life by ridding the atmosphere of carbonic acid, so by the presence of plants must the ocean have been fitted to be the abode of aquatic life. . . .
