2 Esdras 6:45
King James VersionSource notes
“Upon the fourth day thou commandedst that the sun should shine, and the moon give her light, and the stars should be in order:”
Context
42Upon the third day thou didst command that the waters should be gathered in the seventh part of the earth: six parts hast thou dried up, and kept them, to the intent that of these some being planted of God and tilled might serve thee.
43For as soon as thy word went forth the work was made.
44For immediately there was great and innumerable fruit, and many and divers pleasures for the taste, and flowers of unchangeable colour, and odours of wonderful smell: and this was done the third day.
45Upon the fourth day thou commandedst that the sun should shine, and the moon give her light, and the stars should be in order:
46And gavest them a charge to do service unto man, that was to be made.
47Upon the fifth day thou saidst unto the seventh part, where the waters were gathered that it should bring forth living creatures, fowls and fishes: and so it came to pass.
48For the dumb water and without life brought forth living things at the commandment of God, that all people might praise thy wondrous works.
