6 ¶ Again God said, (A)Let there be a [a]firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.
7 Then God made the firmament, and separated the waters, which were [b]under the firmament, from the waters which were (B)above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament, [c]Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
