FWIW.
Just an additional piece of information for Peter and Ian (unless it's
been said and I missed it): you can't have `time' until you have
`light'. For references, see Einstein. So, the author couldn't talk
about `days' or use the term until the light was created. It's an
impossible condition.
BTW, this also helps explain why he uses `day' before day 4. We
associate `day' with the sun, the author didn't. He associated it with
a span of time, one which he repeatedly clarifies and defines as
"evening and morning."
