16 God then made two great [a]lights: the greater light to [b]rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made also the stars.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven, to shine upon the earth,
18 And to (A)rule in the day, and in the night, and to separate the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
