2 Esdras 6:42-44

Revised Standard Version

⁴² “On the third day thou didst command the waters to be gathered together in the seventh part of the earth; six parts thou didst dry up and keep so that some of them might be planted and cultivated and be of service before thee. ⁴³ For thy word went forth, and at once the work was done. ⁴⁴ For immediately fruit came forth in endless abundance and of varied appeal to the taste; and flowers of inimitable color; and odors of inexpressible fragrance. These were made on the third day.
