Genesis 1:6-8

6 Then God said, “Let there be an expanse[a] between the waters, separating water from water.”(A) 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above the expanse.(B) And it was so. 8 God called the expanse “sky.”[b] Evening came and then morning: the second day.
