4. And there was light. And God saw that the light was good.
5. God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light 'day', and called the darkness 'night'. And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
6. Then God said, 'Let there be a vault to separate the waters from the waters.'
7. And God made the vault, and separated the waters under the vault from the waters above the vault. And God called the vault 'sky'. And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
8. Then God said, 'Let the waters under the sky be gathered to one place, and let the dry ground appear.'
9. God called the dry land 'land' and the waters that were gathered together he called 'seas'. And God saw that it was good.
10. And God said, 'Let the land produce seed-bearing plants and fruit-bearing trees of every kind.'
11. And the land produced seed-bearing plants and fruit-bearing trees of every kind. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
12. Then God said, 'Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night. And let them be signs to mark seasons, days, and years.'
13. And it was so: God made the greater light to rule over the day.
14. And God made the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
15. Then God said, 'Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.'
16. Then God said, 'Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.'
17. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, 'Breed and multiply. Fill the seas. And let birds multiply on the earth.' And there was evening and there was morning—the fifth day.
18. Then God said, 'Let the land produce living creatures—livestock, creeping things, and wild animals of every kind.'
19. And it was so—God made wild animals of every kind.
21. And creatures that creep along the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good.
22. Then God said, 'Let us make humans in our image—in our likeness. And let them rule over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the livestock, and all the creatures that creep along the ground.'
