2 Esdras 6:42-44

Common English Bible

⁴² “On the third day you commanded the waters to be gathered together in a seventh part of the earth, but you made six parts dry and preserved them so that some of these might be sown and cultivated, to be of service before you. ⁴³ Your word went forth, and the work was immediately accomplished. ⁴⁴ Suddenly, fruit blossomed in great abundance in an infinite variety of flavors, and flowers with matchless color and scents of unspeakable fragrance. These things were done on the third day.
