7 Then God made the firmament, and separated the waters, which were [a]under the firmament, from the waters which were (A)above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament, [b]Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 ¶ God said again, (B)Let the waters under the heaven be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
