With no “new moon” day before the first day of Creation, how could the moon have been in the correct phase for the first Sabbath and all Sabbaths to follow? 1 We add the caveat “or ordained” because there is room in the Hebrew text both contextually and grammatically to postulate that the Sun and Moon were included in the call for Light on day 1 of Creation and they were rather ordained to their specific place and order on day 4 of Creation.
