Dixit vero Deus: Congregentur aquæ, quæ sub cælo sunt, in locum unum: et appareat arida. Et factum est ita.
And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so.
Congregentur – Subjunctive Jussive from congrego meaning to flock, gather
Et vocavit Deus aridam Terram, congregationesque aquarum appellavit Maria. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum.
God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
esset = 3rd sg imperfect subjunctive – see above example.
