And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”

And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. And it was so.

And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.” And it was so.

And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
