Genesis 1:11

9 Then God said, ^a“Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and ^blet the dry land appear”; and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

11 Then God said, “Let the earth ^abring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the ^bfruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

13 So the evening and the morning were the third day.

14 Then God said, “Let there be ^alights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and ^bseasons, and for days and years;

15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so.
