¹⁶ God made two great lights. The brighter light ruled over the day. The less bright light ruled over the night. God also made the stars.

¹⁷ God put all these lights in the sky to shine their light on the earth.

¹⁸ They were to rule over the day and night. They were to make the time of light separate from the time of dark.

God looked at what he had made. He saw that it was good.
