Lesson Forty-Five Creation. III
On the fourth day He said, “Let there be lights in the heaven.”
The sun, moon, and stars were to give light upon the earth.
He made the sun to rule the day.
He made the moon to rule the night.
Now there was light; there was air, there was water.
But there were no birds in the air.
There were no fishes in the water.
On the fifth day He made all the birds and fishes.
Now there were animals in the air.
There were animals in the water.
But there were no animals on the land.
On the sixth day God made all the land animals.
The same day He said, “Let us make man in our image.”
He gave them the seed of the herbs and the fruit of the trees for food.
“And God saw every thing that He had made, and it was very good.”
Thus the heavens and the earth were made.
