⁶ Then God said, “Let there be ^[a]an ^(A)expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” ⁷ God made the ^[b]expanse, and separated ^(B)the waters that were below the ^[c]expanse from the waters ^(C)that were above the ^[d]expanse; and it was so.

⁹ Then God said, “^(A)Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let ^(B)the dry land appear”; and it was so.

¹¹ Then God said, “Let the earth sprout ^[a](A)vegetation, ^[b]plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit according to ^[c]their kind ^[d]with seed in them”; and it was so.

¹⁴ Then God said, “Let there be ^[a](A)lights in the ^[b](B)expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and they shall ^[c]serve as ^(C)signs and for ^(D)seasons, and for days and years; ¹⁵ and they ^[d]shall serve as lights in the ^[e]expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so.

^24 (A)Then God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures according to ^[a]their kind: livestock and crawling things and animals of the earth according to ^[b]their kind”; and it was so.

²⁹ Then God said, “Behold, ^(A)I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the ^[a]surface of all the earth, and every tree ^[b]which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; ³⁰ and ^(B)to every animal of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to everything that ^[c]moves on the earth ^[d]which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so.
