Why we take it literally.

so..if you take out the "he made" addition to the verse, and just stick to the parts you know are meant to be there...does the sentence work?.....
The answer is YES!......it works just fine......

"And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night the stars also"

All it says is that the lesser light will rule the night and the stars also.........its no big deal...Thats after all what the lesser light still 'rules" or overpowers the darkness of the night and the sky filled with stars......
