18. to rule over the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God was pleased with what he saw.
19. Evening passed and morning came — that was the fourth day.
20. Then God commanded, “Let the water be filled with many kinds of living beings, and let the air be filled with birds.”
21. So God created the great sea monsters, all kinds of creatures that live in the water, and all kinds of birds. And God was pleased with what he saw.
22. He blessed them all and told the creatures that live in the water to reproduce, and to fill the sea, and he told the birds to increase in number.
23. Evening passed and morning came — that was the fifth day.
24. Then God commanded, “Let the earth produce all kinds of animal life: domestic and wild, large and small” — and it was done.
25. So God made them all, and he was pleased with what he saw.
