8. God called the expanse 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. God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. Then God saw that it was good.
11. Then God said, “Let the earth produce vegetation: plants yielding seed and fruit trees on the earth yielding fruit after their kind with seed in them.” 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.
13. So the evening and the morning were 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 signs to indicate seasons, and days, and years.
15. Let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.” And it was so.
16. 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. Then God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18. to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. Then God saw that it was good.
19. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
