Genesis 1:3-8

3Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

4And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.

5God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day.

6Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.”

7And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens.

8God called the space “sky.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the second day.
