What it depicts

Genesis 1:3-25Opened by a notation lookup, not by an editor. Iconclass 71A2 glosses this subject as “the six days of creation (Genesis 1:3-25)”, and this library reads the Douay-Rheims, where the passage stands at Genesis 1:3-25.

3And God said: Be light made. And light was made.

4And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness.

5And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one day.

6And God said: Let there be a firmament made amidst the waters: and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7And God made a firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament, and it was so.

8And God called the firmament, Heaven; and the evening and morning were the second day.

9God also said: Let the waters that are under the heaven, be gathered together into one place: and let the dry land appear. And it was so done.

10And God called the dry land, Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

11And he said: Let the earth bring forth the green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so done.

12And the earth brought forth the green herb, and such as yieldeth seed according to its kind, and the tree that beareth fruit, having seed each one according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

13And the evening and the morning were the third day.

14And God said: Let there be lights made in the firmament of heaven, to divide the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:

15To shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth. And it was so done.

16And God made two great lights: a greater light to rule the day; and a lesser light to rule the night: and the stars.

17And he set them in the firmament of heaven to shine upon the earth.

18And to rule the day and the night, and to divide the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

19And the evening and morning were the fourth day.

20God also said: Let the waters bring forth the creeping creature having life, and the fowl that may fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven.

21And God created the great whales, and every living and moving creature, which the waters brought forth, according to their kinds, and every winged fowl according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

22And he blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea: and let the birds be multiplied upon the earth.

23And the evening and morning were the fifth day.

24And God said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the earth, according to their kinds. And it was so done.

25And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and cattle, and every thing that creepeth on the earth after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
