Genesis 1:20-26
20Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the watersH4325 1teemH8317 with swarmsH8318 of livingH2416 creaturesH5315, and let birdsH5775 flyH5774 aboveH5921 the earthH776 2in the openH6440 3expanseH7549 of the heavensH8064.” 21GodH430 createdH1254 4the greatH1419 seaH8577 monstersH8577 and everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 that movesH7430, with whichH834 the watersH4325 swarmedH8317 after their kindH4327, and everyH3605 wingedH3671 birdH5775 after its kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 22GodH430 blessedH1288 them, sayingH559, “Be fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235, and fillH4390 the watersH4325 in the seasH3220, and let birdsH5775 multiplyH7235 on the earthH776.” 23There was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a fifthH2549 dayH3117.
245Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the earthH776 bringH3318 forthH3318 livingH2416 creaturesH5315 after 6their kindH4327: cattleH929 and creepingH7431 thingsH7431 and beastsH2421 of the earthH776 after 7their kindH4327”; and it was soH3651. 25GodH430 madeH6213 the 8beastsH2421 of the earthH776 after 9their kindH4327, and the cattleH929 after 10their kindH4327, and everythingH3605 that creepsH7431 on the groundH127 after its kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896.
26Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let 11Us makeH6213 12manH120 in Our imageH6754, according to Our likenessH1823; and let them 13ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the 14skyH8064 and over the cattleH929 and over allH3605 the earthH776, and over everyH3605 creepingH7431 thingH7431 that creepsH7430 on the earthH776.”
