57 I.e., two rulers cannot share power equally. 58 Why are the stars not mentioned when God commanded the
luminaries to come into existence in verse 14? 59 The word í−ì has two meanings: 1) animal 2) alive. Rashi clarifies 10 Ibid. 26, 1. 11 Bereishis 10, 10. 12 Devarim 18, 4. 13 Hoshea 1, 2. 14 Iyov 3, 1. 15 Yeshayahu 8, 4. 16 Amos
that here í−ì means alive, and not “the soul of an animal.” 6, 12. 17 Yeshayahu 46, 10. 18 If you insist on the interpretation that the verse is conveying the order of creation.
