Abstract
When reading the account of the creation of the stellar universe in Genesis 1:14-19, the question arises why the sun, the moon and the stars have been created on the fourth day. The passage of Genesis 1:14-19 is a short myth about the establishment of the solar calendar, with the fourth day, the middle of the week, as its central axis. The subject of the calendar is vital in all religious cosmic vision, given that it is related to the sacred times and the festivals and, naturally, with the order of human activity. The journeys of the patriarch are carefully recorded using the fixed solar calendar, and therefore they begin after Saturday and end before Saturday. If this is true, it would be opportune to consider why in the Pentateuch, and especially in Leviticus, the festivals are assigned an exact day within the calendar. Keywords: Genesis 1:14-19; Leviticus; Pentateuch; religious cosmic vision; solar calendar
