and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so.
And God made the two great lights — the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night — and the stars.
God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth,
And God set them in the expanse 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.

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.
And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.
