And Yahweh made the greater light, presumably the sun, to "govern the day". That always struck me as strange since the sun doesn't just "rule the day". It defines the whole concept.
The light of the sun and the light of the moon have different symbolic connotations in the Judeo/Christian script. The correspondence between sunlight and ruling the day are fractilizations of something more erudite.
The light of the moon,generally speaking, rules the foolish; thoughtless, impulsive and materialistic, ignorant. While the light of the sun rules the prudent; circumspect, stoic and learned. The sun rules the moon just as those who walk by the light of day rule those who walk in the dark or so the analogy goes.
