Genesis 1:17
| ← Genesis 1:16 | Genesis 1:17 (KJV) | Genesis 1:18 → |
|---|---|---|
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
|
And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
