Genesis 1:14-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate the day from the night; let them be markers to separate seasons and days and years, ¹⁵ and let them be lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light to the earth.” And it was so. ¹⁶ God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule over the day and the lesser light to rule over the night, and he also made the stars. ¹⁷ God placed them in the firmament of the heavens to light the earth ¹⁸ and to rule over the day and the night and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. ¹⁹ This was the evening and the morning of the fourth day.
