Genesis 1:3-13

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

4God saw that the light was good. So God distinguished the light from the darkness.

5God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” So there was evening and there was morning—one day.

6Then God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the water! Let it be for separating water from water.”

7So God made the expanse and it separated the water that was below the expanse from the water that was over the expanse. And it happened so.

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

9Then God said, “Let the water below the sky be gathered to one place. Let the dry ground appear.” And it happened so.

10God called the dry ground “land,” and the collection of the water He called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

11Then God said, “Let the land sprout grass, green plants yielding seed, fruit trees making fruit, each according to its species with seed in it, upon the land.” And it happened so.

12The land brought forth grass, green plants yielding seed, each according to its species, and trees making fruit with the seed in it, each according to its species. And God saw that it was good.

13So there was evening and there was morning—a third day.
