Genesis 1:24-31

241Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures after 2their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after 3their kind”; and it was so. 25God made the 4beasts of the earth after 5their kind, and the cattle after 6their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.

26Then God said, “Let 7Us make 8man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them 9rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the 10sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27God created man 11in His own image, in the image of God He created him; 12male and female He created them. 28God blessed them; and God said to them, “13Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the 14sky and over every living thing that 15moves on the earth.” 29Then God said, “Behold, 16I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the 17surface of all the earth, and every tree 18which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; 30and 19to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the 20sky and to every thing that 21moves on the earth 22which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so. 31God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very 23good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
