Genesis 1:4-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. And God saw the light, that it was good; and so he divided the light from the darknesses.

5. And he called the light, 'Day,' and the darknesses, 'Night.' And it became evening and morning, one day.

6. God also said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide waters from waters."

7. And God made a firmament, and he divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament. And so it became.

8. And God called the firmament 'Heaven.' And it became evening and morning, the second day.

9. Truly God said: "Let the waters that are under heaven be gathered together into one place; and let the dry land appear." And so it became.

10. And God called the dry land, 'Earth,' and he called the gathering of the waters, 'Seas.' And God saw that it was good.

11. And he said, "Let the land spring forth green plants, both those producing seed, and fruit-bearing trees, producing fruit according to their kind, whose seed is within itself, over all the earth." And so it became.

12. And the land brought forth green plants, both those producing seed, according to their kind, and trees producing fruit, with each having its own way of sowing, according to its species. And God saw that it was good.
