Genesis 1:3 is the third verse of the first chapter in the Book of Genesis. In it God made light by declaration: God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. It is a part of the Torah portion known as Bereshit (Genesis 1:1-6:8).

"Let there be light" has entered into common usage as a phrase, as has "in the beginning", which appears in Genesis 1:1.
