Genesis 1:14-18

14God said, ‘There will be lights all across the sky. They will make the day different from the night. They will show the seasons, days and years.

15The lights in the sky will give light to the earth.’ And what God said happened.

16God made two great lights. The brighter light ruled over the day. The less bright light ruled over the night. God also made the stars.

17God put all these lights in the sky to shine their light on the earth.

18They were to rule over the day and night. They were to make the time of light separate from the time of dark. God looked at what he had made. He saw that it was good.
