And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
9
Then God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so.
10
And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11
Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; and it was so.
12
And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
13
So the evening and the morning were the third day.
14
Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;
15
and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so.
16
Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.
17
God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18
and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
