Beraishis 1J Structure of Days of Creation

The first three days of creation correspond to the second three days. What was created in the first three days is given its completion  and position relative to the development of life on earth in the second three days, as follows:

Day 1 Light – Day 4 Light Bearers

Day 2 Water and Air Space – Day 5 A World of Life

Day 3 Dry Land with its Vegetation – Day 6 Living Inhabitants

With the seventh day, a new world started; the world of the education of Man to God. This seventh day is another first day but on higher, spiritual level. Light is again created, but this time it is the light of recognition of God. Who was given the mission to promote this recognition? This is the mission of Israel. Israel is God’s eight work of creation. The seventh day at first had no בן זוג until God told it ישראל יהיה בן זוגך.
