And God said,

"Let there be light"; and there was light.
Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.
1
This is not in the imperative mood (the ordinary grammatical form for a command), but God willed these creative events into existence. It is the voluntative mood in Hebrew. This translates, "It is My will that this happen." English does not have the voluntative mood, which includes the jussive and cohortative forms. When "let" is used in this way, it represents a command not in the imperative mood, but rather an expression of God's will, the jussive form. God literally commanded (willed) the world into existence.
