This is the earliest known allusion to what would later be called the Holy (or Feast) days (periods) of worship, which are seven in number. Interestingly, the Hebrew word for 'seasons' in Genesis 1:14 is moed (Strong's Concordance #H4150), which literally translated is "appointed times" (divine appointments) in reference to God's festivals. They were also made to be a type of signal that would mark off the days, years and seasons. Their purpose was not only to give off light, but also to divide the day from the night on earth, thus becoming a basic demarcation of time. On this day he brought into existence our sun, the moon, and all the stars (Genesis 1:14 - 19). On the fourth day of what is called 'creation week' God completed the material universe. The number 4 derives its meaning from creation.
