Ramban on Genesis 1:16/רמב"ן על בראשית א׳:ט״ז

אוַיַּעַשׂ אֱלֹהִים וַיִּתֵּן אֹתָם אֱלֹהִים מְלַמֵּד שֶׁלֹּא נִהְיוּ אֵלּוּ הַמְּאוֹרוֹת מִגּוּף הָרָקִיעַ אֲבָל גּוּפִים נִטְבָּעִים בּוֹ:
1AND G-D MADE. 17. AND G-D SET THEM. This teaches us that these lights were not made from the body of the firmament, rather, they were bodies set into it.
