Here is his ion relative to the light of the first day. "Aor" is the word used for and signifies light. In Gen. 1: 16, I read, "Veasah Elohint ethsheni hamnfbaroth," acid "God made two great bgfits " Here is the narration relative to the great light of the •'fourtb dcy,•' but the word used for the lOU of the fourth day is"maaroth" a word distinct from "nor" of the first day Be it obeerv4d, the "the great lights" are DOI • plural form of light "nor'` in ,Glen, 1: 8, is • word distinct from •.muroth ' of the 16th verse. "Aar" signifies light ia the abstrsok, or the light uni Ity diffused. the light of day. "Mssor," signifinf a light or luminary that gives light. `•Aor" with one exception never admits of eplurel form The exception occurs m the 12(lat Paslm. 7th verve, where "Aorim" is put by poeti cal use for -memorial." This stogie excep tion, found in the wjiole Old Tostiment, proves conclusively the distinctiveness of the two words. By the “Aor" of the first day, we are to understand the light created at a pre edemas time and evolved at the birth of our world, and by the “tomarollt;' of the fourth day, the lamps or bearers of that hyffri and with this agrees the teachings of Astronomy. I say with this agrees the teaching of science In proof I observe Moses is ac curately critical in this choice of words When in the course of his narration he comes to the transactions of the fourth day, he does not as in Gen. 1, sly '•God (Barn) created" but God (nab) conotooted or rofohliohed two great lights, thus ahiog a distinction between creation and consti tuting. There is, therefore, no discrepan cy between Moses and astronomy, For in his account of the fourth day he does not say one word as to what the sun and moon are In themselves; nor as to the what and how 4ey were created. They may Kve been created, they may have existed long ages past. It does not fall within thescops of bis narration to give any information on this point, bower touch it might satisfy our curiosity, This coconut of them, on the fourth day is exclusively confined to what they ere now oboet to be in their relation to the earth In ol o ifer words his account of those heaventy bodies is confined to what They are now to become—the two great hglas to give light upon the earth Tbey are now for the Bret time the ordained, appointed rulers of day and night. What they were before, as to their capacities or end, when or how created, neither Moses nor Astronomy gives us any definite infor mation. It was not the business of Moses to do so, and astronomy could only offer conjecture. They must bane existed in pre-adaualle limes says astronomy, and here Its knowledge'ends Moses is neither con tradicted by, nor does he contradict this.— Ile says, that now, on the fourth day of creation, they are constituted light bearers and their mission, in relation to the earth as such, now begins The light evolved on the Bret day Is now to be from henceforth, under the Control of these %%cheerily bodies. these two great lights. The foregoing me,' be sumed up as fol ,lows. Moses elates the foot, that, on the first day light wee crested. To thts foot he adds another, namely, that on the fourth day, bearers or holder! of this light wore constituted, established. Thus the sun and the moon of the fourth day, became to the light of the first day, what the candlestick Is to the lighted taper Astronomy teaches ti the sun is not, in itself a luminous bo,ut, that it is surrounded by a lumi nous almoepher, by means o Hob, luau goes alniestpliere, it lights e world. Now there is oertainly Ate iscrepancy, between Moses and modern stronomy Hit statement of the fact that light was created, at an early period in the progress of creation, and that lights, or light bearers were constituted at a later period of ores lion involves no inennaletency of statement, neither is it an evidence of ignorance on his part,.
