10. God named the dry land “earth” and the water that was gathered together “seas.” God saw that this was good.

12. The earth produced plants with grain for seeds and trees that made fruits with seeds in them. Each seed grew its own kind of plant. God saw that all this was good.
13. Evening passed, and morning came. This was the third day.
14. Then God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to separate day from night. These lights will be used for signs, seasons, days, and years.
