גַּם־חֹשֶׁךְ֮ לֹא־יַחְשִׁ֢יךְ מִ֫מֶּ֥ךָּ וְ֭לַיְלָה כַּיּ֣וֹם יָאִ֑יר כַּ֝חֲשֵׁיכָ֗ה כָּאוֹרָֽה׃
darkness is not dark for You;
night is as light as day;
darkness and light are the same.
night is as light as day;
darkness and light are the same.
אָח֣וֹר וָקֶ֣דֶם צַרְתָּ֑נִי וַתָּ֖שֶׁת עָלַ֣י כַּפֶּֽכָה׃
You hedge me before and behind;
You lay Your hand upon me.
You lay Your hand upon me.
וַיַּ֧רְא אֱלֹקִ֛ים אֶת־הָא֖וֹר כִּי־ט֑וֹב וַיַּבְדֵּ֣ל אֱלֹקִ֔ים בֵּ֥ין הָא֖וֹר וּבֵ֥ין הַחֹֽשֶׁךְ׃
God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness.
וְאָמַר רַב יְהוּדָה אָמַר רַב עֲשָׂרָה דְּבָרִים נִבְרְאוּ בְּיוֹם רִאשׁוֹן וְאֵלּוּ הֵן שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ תֹּהוּ וָבֹהוּ אוֹר וָחֹשֶׁךְ רוּחַ וּמַיִם מִדַּת יוֹם וּמִדַּת לַיְלָה
§ The Gemara continues to discuss Creation: Rav Yehuda said that Rav said: Ten things were created on the first day of Creation, and they are as follows: Heaven and earth; tohu and vohu, i.e., unformed and void; light and darkness; wind and water; the length of day and the length of night.
ואמר רב חסדא חלמא דלא מפשר כאגרתא דלא מקריא
Rav Ḥisda said: A dream not interpreted is like a letter not read. As long as it is not interpreted it cannot be fulfilled; the interpretation of a dream creates its meaning.
