Day Two – God Made Sky and Water
And God said, “Let there be space between the waters, to separate water from water.”And so it was. God made this space to separate the waters above from the waters below. And God called the space “sky.” This happened on the second day.
Genesis 1:6-13
Bible:
Say: “On the second day of Creation, God made the sky and water. The sky was made to separate the water in the sky from the water on the earth. This is what the Bible says: And God said, “Let there be space between the waters, to separate water from water.”And so it was. God made this space to separate the waters above from the waters below. And God called the space ‘sky.’ This happened on the second day.”
