6 And God said, ^a“Let there be an expanse ^{▼▼Or a canopy; also verses 7, 8, 14, 15, 17, 20} in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 And God made ^{▼▼Or fashioned; also verse 16} the expanse and ^dseparated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were ^eabove the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven. ^{▼▼Or Sky; also verses 9, 14, 15, 17, 20, 26, 28, 30; 2:1} And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

And God saw that it was good.
