God called the dry ground ’land,’ and the gathered waters, he called ’seas.’ And God saw that it was good. Then God said, ’Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.’ And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruits with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning – the third day.”
