Days of Creation

Day 1: Light
“Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the
light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning
were the first day” (Genesis 1:3-5).

Day 2: Firmament
“Then God said, ‘Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.’ Thus
God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above
the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second
day” (Genesis 1:6-8).
Day 3: Earth, sea and vegetation

“Then God said, ‘Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear’;
and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw
that it was good” (Genesis 1:9-10).
“Then God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to
its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth’; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed
according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was
good. So the evening and the morning were the third day” (Genesis 1:11-13).

Day 4: Sun, moon and stars
“Then God said, ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be
for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on
the earth’; and it was so. Then 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. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on 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. So the evening
and the morning were the fourth day” (Genesis 1:14-19).

Day 5: Birds and sea creatures
“‘Then God said, ‘Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across
the face of the firmament of the heavens.’ So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with
which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it
was good. And God blessed them, saying, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply
on the earth.’ So the evening and the morning were the fifth day” (Genesis 1:20-23).

Day 6: Land animals and humans
“Then God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast
of the earth, each according to its kind’; and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle
according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.”
“Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the
sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the
earth.’ So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion
over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.’”
“And God said, ‘See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree
whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to
everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food’; and it was so. Then
God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth
day” (Genesis 1:24-31).
Day 7: The Sabbath

“Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. And on the seventh day God ended His work
which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the
seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made” (Genesis 2:1-
3).
