Exegesis
The locative bamakom asher-archu sham {בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־עָ֥רְכוּ שָׁ֖ם | ba-m-ma-qôm ʾă-šer-ʿā-rə-ḵû šām} ties back to the original position, and the temporal bayom harishon {בַּיּ֥וֹם הָרִאשֽׁוֹן | ba-yyôm hā-ri-šôn} situates the action on ‘the first day.’ The English renders preserve the Hebrew distributive emphasis, intentional arraying, spatial continuity, and temporal specificity without adding external elements.
