In context

¹⁵And let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.” And it was so.

¹⁶God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. And He made the stars as well.

¹⁷God set these lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth,

¹⁸To preside over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

¹⁹And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
