14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

14 And God said, “Let there be lights[a] in the vaulted dome[b] of heaven[c] to separate day from night,[d] and let them be as signs and for appointed times, and for days and years, 15 and they shall be as lights[e] in the vaulted dome[f] of heaven[g] to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God made two lights,[h] the greater light[i] to rule[j] the day and the smaller light[k] to rule[l] the night, and the stars. 17 And God placed them in the vaulted dome[m] of heaven[n] to give light on the earth 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate light from darkness.[o] And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
