"The day is Yours, the night also is Yours. You
established the light and the sun (Psalm 74:16)." How is it that
two opposite states can be the work of one creator? The psalmist
affirms that the day and the night are both G-D’s
creation. Hashem transcends all human limitations, capable of
creating light and darkness. By emphasizing Hashem’s creation of
light and darkness, we affirm the singularity of our Creator who is omnipotent
and limitless. The psalmist goes on to state that G-D has
established the lights and the sun. This is a reference to the
fourth day of creation: "And G-D made the two great lights, the greater light to
rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night (Bereishit
1:16)." We too are Hashem’s creations, and like the sun and moon shall
endure.
