Genesis 1:4-6
Amplified Bible
4 God saw that the light was good (pleasing, useful) and [a]He affirmed and sustained it; and God separated the light [distinguishing it] from the darkness.(A) 5 And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was [b]evening and there was [c]morning, one day.
6 And God said, “Let there be an [d]expanse [of the sky] in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters [below the expanse] from the waters [above the expanse].”
