“God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.”

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

“And God said, “Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.””

“Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.””

“Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.”

“God set these lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth,”

“Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth vegetation: seed-bearing plants and fruit trees, each bearing fruit with seed according to its kind.” And it was so.”

“The earth produced vegetation: seed-bearing plants according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.”
