So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.

And that’s exactly what happened. God made the huge space between the waters. He separated the water under the space from the water above it.

And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so.

So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above the expanse. And it was so.

I was there when he set the clouds above, when he established springs deep in the earth.I was there when he set the limits of the seas, so they would not spread beyond their boundaries. And when he marked off the earth’s foundations,

Praise him, skies above! Praise him, vapors high above the clouds!

The disciples were amazed.“ Who is this man?” they asked.“ Even the winds and waves obey him!”

Then God said,“ Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear.” And that is what happened.

He wraps the rain in his thick clouds, and the clouds don’t burst with the weight.

Then God said,“ Let the land sprout with vegetation— every sort of seed bearing plant, and trees that grow seed bearing fruit. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.” And that is what happened.

Let these lights in the sky shine down on the earth.” And that is what happened.

When clouds are heavy, the rains come down. Whether a tree falls north or south, it stays where it falls.

Then God said,“ Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind— livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and wild animals.” And that is what happened.

“ Who kept the sea inside its boundaries as it burst from the womb,and as I clothed it with clouds and wrapped it in thick darkness?For I locked it behind barred gates, limiting its shores.I said,‘ This far and no farther will you come. Here your proud waves must stop!’

You make springs pour water into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains.
