[3] And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
[4] And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the
light from the darkness. [5] God called the light Day, and the
darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was
morning, the first day.
[6] And God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of
the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." [7] And
God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under

was so. [8] And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was
evening and there was morning, the second day.
[9] And 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] God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that
were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was
good. [11] And God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants
yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed,
each according to its kind, on the earth." And it was so. [12] The
earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to
their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each

there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
[14] And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of
the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be

the greater light to rule the day... |
