5. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
6. Then God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.”
7. So God made the expanse and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. And it was so.

12. The earth produced vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind and trees yielding fruit with seed in them after their kind. And God saw that it was good.

15. Let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.” And it was so.

17. Then God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
