What does an exclamation mark mean here. Is it a fullstop or something?

God spoke: “Sky! In the middle of the waters; separate water from water!”God made sky.He separated the water under sky from the water above sky.And there it was: he named sky the Heavens;It was evening, it was morning—Day Two. Genesis 1:6-8 The Message Bible.

Here, the writer is quoting *** somehow, and we are to suppose that when *** commands a change to the very substance of reality through infinite space and time, he says it loud.
