Genesis 1:3-13
3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.1 5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.2
6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.3 7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.4
9And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.5 12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13And the evening and the morning were the third day.6
