3 God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light!
4 God saw that the light was good, so God separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” There was evening, and there was morning, marking the first day.
6 God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters and let it separate water from water.
7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. It was so.
8 God called the expanse “sky.” There was evening, and there was morning, a second day.
9 God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place and let dry ground appear.” It was so.
