Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Genesis 1
⁸ God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
⁹ Then God said, "Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so.
¹⁰ God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good.
¹¹ Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them"; and it was so.
¹² The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.
¹³ There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
¹⁴ Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;
¹⁵ and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so.
¹⁶ God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.
¹⁷ God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
¹⁸ and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good.
