Genesis 1:3-13

3God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light!

4God saw that the light was good, so God separated the light from the darkness.

5God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” There was evening, and there was morning, marking the first day.

6God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters and let it separate water from water.

7So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. It was so.

8God called the expanse “sky.” There was evening, and there was morning, a second day.

9God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place and let dry ground appear.” It was so.

10God called the dry ground “land” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” God saw that it was good.

11God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: plants yielding seeds according to their kinds, and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.” It was so.

12The land produced vegetation – plants yielding seeds according to their kinds, and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. God saw that it was good.

13There was evening, and there was morning, a third day.
