Then, the necessities of man are provided for him. On the first day, day and night appeared. On the second day, the waters above and below the firmament were divided. On the third day, land and sea were divided, and plants and fruit trees arose. On the fourth day, the sun, moon, and stars appeared. On the fifth day, sea animals and birds appeared. On the sixth day, land animals and man were created. And on the seventh day, He rested from His work.
