15 And let them be for lights in the expansion of the heaven, to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

And to every wild animal of the earth, and to every tame animal of the earth, and to every flying creature of the sky, and to every creature that crawls on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green plant for food."
