Genesis 1:8
6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”
7 So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. And it was so.
God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
9 And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.” And it was so.
10 God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
