GENESIS.
3

5. And God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

6. And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it divide between the waters in the waters.

7. And God made the expanse, and divided between the waters which were under the expanse, and between the waters which were above the expanse: and it was so.

8. And God called the expanse heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

9. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10. And God called the dry land earth, and the gathering together of the waters called he seas: and God saw that it was good.

11. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the tender grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit-tree bearing fruit, after its kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12. And the earth brought forth the tender grass, the herb yielding seed after its kind, and the tree bearing fruit, whose seed was in itself, after its kind: and God saw that it was good.

13. And the evening and the morning were the third day.

14. And God said, Let there be luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to distinguish between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and for years:

15. And let them be for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16. And God made two great luminaries, the greater luminary to rule by day, and the lesser luminary to rule by night; and the stars.:

17. And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light upon the earth;

18. And to rule over the day, and over the night, and to divide between the light and the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

20. And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly, the creeping thing, the living soul; and let the fowl fly above the earth, upon the faces of the expanse of the heavens.

21. And God created great whales, and every living soul that creepeth, which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind: and God saw that it was good.

22. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and the fowl shall be multiplied in the earth.
