The Cave of Treasures 4
The Creation: Fourth Day
On the Fourth Day the sun's heat hardened the once flaccid earth by drawing away its humidity and dampness from the waters.
1nd on the Fourth Day God made the sun, and the moon, and the stars. And as soon as the heat of the sun was diffused over the surface of the earth, the earth became hard and rigid, and lost its flaccidity, because the humidity and the dampness [caused by] the waters were taken away from it. The Creator made the sphere of the sun of fire and filled it with light.
2 And God gave unto the sphere of the moon and the stars bodies of water and air, and filled them with light. And when the dust of the earth became hot, it brought forth all the trees, and plants, and seeds, and roots which had been conceived inside it on the Third Day.
Did You Know?
On the Fourth Day the sun's heat hardened the once flaccid earth by drawing away its humidity and dampness from the waters.
The Creator fashioned the sun's sphere entirely of fire and then filled that fiery sphere with light.
Unlike the sun, the moon and stars received bodies of water and air before being filled with light.
Heat from the newly made sun caused the earth's hot dust to bring forth trees, plants, seeds, and roots.
The trees, plants, seeds, and roots that sprang up had already been conceived inside the earth on the Third Day.
