⁹ Then God said, ^(A)“Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and ^(B)let the dry land appear”; and it was so. ¹⁰ And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

¹¹ Then God said, “Let the earth ^(C)bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the ^(D)fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. ¹² And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. ¹³ So the evening and the morning were the third day.

⁸ And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, ^(A)“What is the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of the Lord the third day?”
