God's Word Translation

Genesis 1:16-21 God's Word Translation (GW)

16. God made the two bright lights: the larger light to rule the day and the smaller light to rule the night. He also made the stars.

17. God put them in the sky to give light to the earth,

18. to dominate the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.

19. There was evening, then morning—a fourth day.

20. Then God said, “Let the water swarm with swimming creatures, and let birds fly through the sky over the earth.”

21. So God created the large sea creatures, every type of creature that swims around in the water and every type of flying bird. God saw that they were good.
