What it means by separating, is related too the ancient expression, 'Breaking of the Day' or Daybreak .
Isaiah 58:8 - Then shall thy light break forth as the morning.
The Hebrew word here is 'Baqa' "Split, Cleave or Break' the Septuagint reads Ragh (ῥαγή) "smite", so the language is literally
saying that the 'Light' broke or cleaved in half . i.e Gen 1:4 "Divided the light, there was morning and evening. It's an expression.
Gen 1:1 can also reads 'In the Beginning the-luminaries divided the Skies and the-land.
Gen 1:27 - The god divided the man from the rib and from the rib he created Man and Woman.
* the word 'image' and 'rib' are from the same root.
Genesis 1 is not a 'creation-story' or something that happened at a particular time in history, it's Annual through the Seven-months, starting with Nissan and concluding with the Harvest, the Seventh-Month ( September ).
