Hashem creates the universe in six days.
First Day
Hashem creates the sky, land and light. He then separates the light and darkness, calling the light day and the darkness night.
Second Day
Hashem strengthens the firmament using it to separate between the upper and lower waters. He then names the upper worlds 'sky' and creates the angels.
Third Day
Hashem gathers the lower waters into one pool, naming the dry area 'land' and the water 'ocean'. Hashem then creates the potential for grasses and fruit trees, although they did not sprout until the sixth day.
