7. And that's exactly what happened. God made the huge space between the waters. He separated the water that was under the space from the water that was above it.
8. God called the huge space "sky." There was evening, and there was morning. It was day two.
9. God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered into one place. Let dry ground appear." And that's exactly what happened.
10. God called the dry ground "land." He called the waters that were gathered together "oceans." And God saw that it was good.
11. Then God said, "Let the land produce plants. Let them bear their own seeds. And let there be trees on the land that bear fruit with seeds in it. Let each kind of plant or tree have its own kind of seeds." And that's exactly what happened.
12. The land produced plants. Each kind of plant had its own kind of seeds. The land produced trees that bore fruit with seeds in it. Each kind of tree had its own kind of seeds. God saw that it was good.
13. And there was evening, and there was morning. It was day three.
