15 Y sean por lumbreras en la expansión de los cielos para alumbrar sobre la tierra: y fué así.
16 E hizo Dios las dos grandes lumbreras; la lumbrera mayor para que señorease en el día, y la lumbrera menor para que señorease en la noche: [hizo] también las estrellas.
17 Y púsolas Dios en la expansión de los cielos, para alumbrar sobre la tierra,

19 Y fué la tarde y la mañana el día cuarto.
