In this
verse, for consistency 
= ha'or has to be translated as 'the exploration', or
as 'the explored part'; and 
= hashakh as the 'unexplored' or as 'the unexplored
part'. 
= bedel, which had a common meaning of 'separate', but
could also mean 'distinguish' -and 
which, with verbs of distinguishing, took on the meaning of
'between'.

| God saw that the light was good, and God divided light from darkness. | The Shining Ones saw that their exploration was successful [suitable for settlement]; and the Shining Ones distinguished between the explored (land) and the unexplored. |
