Q67: The work of the first day (The work of distinction in itself)

1. Is the word light used in its proper sense in speaking of spiritual things?
2. Is light, in corporeal things, itself corporeal?
3. Is light a quality?
4. Was light fittingly made on the first day?

In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram.

Terra autem erat inanis et vacua, et tenebrae super faciem abyssi, et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas.

Dixitque Deus: “Fiat lux”. Et facta est lux.

Et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona et divisit Deus lucem ac tenebras.

Appellavitque Deus lucem Diem et tenebras Noctem. Factumque est vespere et mane, dies unus.

(Gen 1:1-5)
