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.
