Genesis 1:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 1:19

17 God set them in the firmament of the ^aheavens to give light on the earth,

18 and to ^arule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

19 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

20 Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living¹ creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the² firmament of the heavens.”

21 So ^aGod created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
