3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
Than God sayd: let there be lyghte and there was lyghte.
4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.
And God sawe the lyghte that it was good: and devyded the lyghte from the darcknesse
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. There was evening and there was morning, one day.

Than sayd God: let there be lyghtes in ye firmament of heaven to devyde the daye fro the nyghte that they may be vnto sygnes seasons days and yeares.
15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.
And let them be lyghtes in the fyrmament of heave to shyne vpon the erth. and so it was.
