⁶ Then God said, ^(A)“Let there be a ^[a]firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” ⁷ Thus God made the firmament, ^(B)and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were ^(C)above the firmament; and it was so. ⁸ And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.

⁹ Then God said, ^(D)“Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and ^(E)let 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.
