Read in context

Genesis 1:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

4 And God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.

5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”

7 So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. And it was so.
