In context

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.

8 God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

9 And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.” And it was so.

10 God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

11 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth vegetation: seed-bearing plants and fruit trees, each bearing fruit with seed according to its kind.” And it was so.
