God’s Word Translation
Genesis 1:20-26
20Then God said, “Let the water swarm with swimming creatures, and let birds fly through the sky over the earth.”
21So God created the large sea creatures, every type of creature that swims around in the water and every type of flying bird. God saw that they were good.
22God blessed them and said, “Be fertile, increase in number, fill the sea, and let there be many birds on the earth.”
23There was evening, then morning—a fifth day.
24Then God said, “Let the earth produce every type of living creature: every type of domestic animal, crawling animal, and wild animal.” And so it was.
25God made every type of wild animal, every type of domestic animal, and every type of creature that crawls on the ground. God saw that they were good.
26Then God said, “Let us make humans in our image, in our likeness. Let them rule the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the domestic animals all over the earth, and all the animals that crawl on the earth.”
