1:8

1:7	God [thus] made the sky, and it separated the water below the sky from the water above the sky. It remained that way. Vaya'as Elohim et-harakia vayavdel beyn hamayim asher mitachat larakia uveyn hamayim asher me'al larakia vayehi-chen.
1:8	God named the sky 'Heaven.' It was evening and it was morning, a second day. Vayikra Elohim la-rakia shamayim vayehi-erev vayehi-voker yom sheni.

Commentary:

it separated
Or 'He divided' (Septuagint).

It remained that way
Usually translated, 'It was so.' Later, we translate this as, 'It happened.'
