Genesis 1:6
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”
In context
4 And God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”
7 So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. And it was so.
8 God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
