On days one and two, God created light and separated light from darkness, day from night. He also separated the sky from the waters below. On days three and four, God separated the land from the seas and created plants and trees, as well as the sun, moon, and stars. On days five and six, God filled the seas and skies with living creatures and populated the land with animals. He created humans to rule over the earth. On the seventh day, God rested from his work of creation.
