2 Esdras 6:40 Context

³⁸And I said, O Lord, thou spakest from the beginning of the creation, euen the first day, & saidest thus, Let heauen and earth bee made: and thy word was a perfect worke. ³⁹And then was the spirit, and darkenesse, and silence were on euery side; the sound of mans voice was not yet formed. ⁴⁰Then commandedst thou a faire light to come foorth of thy treasures, that thy worke might appeare. ⁴¹Upon the second day thou madest the spirit of the firmament, and commandedst it to part asunder, and to make a diuision betwixt the waters, that the one part might goe vp, and the other remaine beneath. ⁴²Upon the thirde day thou didst commaund that the waters should bee gathered in the seuenth part of the earth: sixe parts hast thou dried vp and kept them, to the intent that of these some being planted of God and tilled, might serue thee.
