Note the order, the evening (or dark hours) first then the morning (or light hours). This is the Jewish order of a day, the day starting at sunset and ending at sunset. This is useful in determining on what days certain events in the New Testament take place.

Through this verse we see God’s perfection, organization, intentional purpose, a step by step emphasis on each stage of his creation as he moved first through a spoken word. Sharing with us an emphasis on his every move of creation, taking us through eternity discussing the aspects of his descriptive nature as he allows his light to bring volumes of meaning to us spiritually - as the first day is completed. His patience and love seems to flow through his creation and purpose from the start.
