So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. ¹  It was so. ² 

God called the expanse “sky.” ¹  There was evening, and there was morning, a second day.

God placed the lights ¹  in the expanse of the sky to shine on the earth,

God said, “Let there be an expanse ¹  in the midst of the waters and let it separate water ²  from water.

and let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.” It was so.

God said, “Let the water swarm with swarms ¹  of living creatures and let birds fly ²  above the earth across the expanse of the sky.”

But the wise will shine like the brightness of the heavenly expanse. And those bringing many to righteousness will be like the stars forever and ever.

God said, “Let there be lights ¹  in the expanse ²  of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them be signs ³  to indicate seasons and days and years,
