Calling the mirror of light after being in darkness.
("And God said, Let there be light, and there was light" - Genesis 1:3, and so on: "And there was light," the Midrash called out after the lightning had returned to illuminate after a long hour in the darkness, and so on: "And God said, Let there be light," Rabbi Yehuda said: The light was created in the beginning, and then so was the world. Rabbi Nehemiah said: The world was created in the beginning, a parable to King Shebna. "Palatinate and a crown of lamps and lanterns" - at the beginning of Rabbah, 3, and so on: "I stop the stillness, and say to the darkness: Let there be light, and there was!" - Admiral Kosman/ I roll the hours of the day and the hours of the night)
