Genesis 1:16-19

16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.1

17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

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

19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.2
