So, you understand the three direct objects to be WHAT exactly?

"God made TWO great lights: sun, moon, and stars." That's not two. From
Harold's translation above, I would say that he and I are in agreement that
the "greater light" and "lesser light" are parenthetical to explain what the
two great lights are, while "the stars" is the SECOND of the direct objects:
(1) "the two great lights"; and, (2) "the stars."

Be well,
Yonah

I always took the tifha marker to act like a comma instead of making
something repeat itself twice. I would take the "ve`et hacocaviym' as a
third object of the verb `asah.
