12 And the earth brought forth the bud of the herb, that seedeth seed according to his kind, also the tree that beareth fruit, which hath his seed in itself according to his kind: and God [a]saw that it was good.
13 So the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 ¶ And God said, (A)Let there be [b]lights in the firmament of the heaven, to [c]separate the day from the night, and let them be for [d]signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.
