Genesis 1:6-10
New King James Version
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.
