Light from the sun, moon and stars was established over the course of the six days (or millennia, if you want to go with that meaning of "yom") in Creation, Radix.

So, attempting to interpret Biblical Creation as being specific solely to mankind, on Earth, doesn't quite hold up to either a literal or allegorical reading. The truth of God, even presented as allegory, is not ever going to prove ultimately to be a lie.

You might want to consider reading the words. Even without a Hebrew lexicon, the meaning of some words are clear in context.

The Hebrew word “Yom” has some designations that are not at all indicative or exclusive to a meaning of a 24 hour period.

But then, you might have have to read a bit (or a whole lot) more in order to grasp that concept.
