(1) When God began to create heaven and earth— (2) the earth being unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the deep and a wind from God sweeping over the water— (3) God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. (4) God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness. (5) God called the light Day, and the darkness was called Night. There was evening and there was morning, a first day.
וכך פי׳ הברכה אשר יצר אתכם בדין כו׳ והמית אתכם בדין וכו׳ הכל בטבע הבריאה...
As indicated by the "Asher Yatzar" prayer, human life was created by justice and will similarly be ended through justice. All of this is elucidated in the Torah's account of how nature was created...
Then Moses held out his arm over the sea and the Eternal drove back the sea with a strong east wind all that night, and turned the sea into dry ground, and the waters were split.
(14) God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate day from night; they shall serve as signs for the set times—the days and the years; (15) and they serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.” And it was so. (16) God made the two great lights, the greater light to dominate the day and the lesser light to dominate the night, and the stars. (17) And God set them in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth, (18) to dominate the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that this was good. (19) There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
...דְּאָמַר רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר: אוֹר שֶׁבָּרָא הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא בְּיוֹם רִאשׁוֹן, אָדָם צוֹפֶה בּוֹ מִסּוֹף הָעוֹלָם וְעַד סוֹפוֹ, וְכֵיוָן שֶׁנִּסְתַּכֵּל הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא (באנשי) בְּדוֹר הַמַּבּוּל וְדוֹר הַפְלָגָה, וְרָאָה שֶׁמַּעֲשֵׂיהֶם מְקֻלְקָלִים, עָמַד וּגְנָזוֹ מֵהֶם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: (איוב לח) "וְיִמָּנַע מֵרְשָׁעִים אוֹרָם, וּזְרוֹעַ רָמָה תִּשָּׁבֵר", וּלְמִי גְּנָזוֹ? לַצַּדִּיקִים לֶעָתִיד לָבוֹא, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: (בראשית א) "וַיַרְא אֱלֹקִים אֶת הָאוֹר כִּי טוֹב", וְאֵין 'טוֹב' אֶלָּא צַדִּיק, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: (ישעיה ג) "אִמְרוּ צַדִּיק כִּי טוֹב". וְכֵיוָן שֶׁרָאָה אוֹר שֶׁגְּנָזוֹ לַצַּדִּיקִים, שָׂמַח, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: (משלי יג) "אוֹר צַדִּיקִים יִשְׂמַח".
Rabbi Elazar taught: The light that the Holy One created on the first day was visible from one end of the earth to the other. But when the Holy One observed the generation of the Flood, the corruptness of their deeds and how cursed their deeds were, God removed a portion of the Divine light and hid it away. As it is written: "Their light is withheld from the wicked, And the upraised arm is broken." [Job 38:15] And for whom was it hidden? For righteous people who would come along in the future, as it is written: "And God saw that the light was good ['טוֹב']" [Genesis 1:4] - "good" must refer to the righteous, as it is written: "Say to the righteous that all will be well ['טוֹב']" [Isaiah 3:10] And even now, whenever God pauses to contemplate the concealed light ["or ganuz"], God rejoices - as it is written: "The light of the righteous brings joy." [Proverbs 13:9]
יוֹצֵ֥ר אוֹר֙ וּבוֹרֵ֣א חֹ֔שֶׁךְ עֹשֶׂ֥ה שָׁל֖וֹם וּב֣וֹרֵא רָ֑ע אֲנִ֥י יי עֹשֶׂ֥ה כָל־אֵֽלֶּה׃
I form light and create darkness; I make peace and create woe — I the Eternal do all of these things.
