And it was so done. ¹²And the earth brought forth green hearb, such as seedeth according to his kind, and tree that beareth fruit, having seed each one according to his kind.

And it was so done. ¹⁶And God ″ made two ^[2] great lights; a greater light to governe the day, and a lesser light to governe the night; and starres. ¹⁷And he set them in the firmament of heaven, to shine upon the earth, ¹⁸and to governe the day and the night, and to divide the light and the darkenes.

And God saw that it was good. ²²And he ″ blessed them saying: Increase and multiply, and replenish the waters of the sea: and let the birds be multiplied upon the earth. ²³And there was evening and morning that made the fifth day. ²⁴God said moreover: Let the earth bring forth living creature in his kind, cattle, and such as creep, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds: and it was so done. ²⁵And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and cattle, and al that creepeth on the earth in his kind.

And it was so done. ³¹And God saw al things that he had made, and ^[3] they were very good. And there was evening and morning that made the sixt day.
