15. And let them be for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth; and it was so.

16. And God made two great luminaries, the greater luminary to rule by day, and the lesser luminary to rule by night; and the stars.

18. And to rule in the day, and in the night, and to distinguish between the light and the darkness; and God saw that it was good.

23. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
