-
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
-
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
-
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
-
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
-
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
