Genesis 1:20-30

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.” 27GodH430 createdH1254 manH120 15in His own imageH6754, in the imageH6754 of GodH430 He createdH1254 him; 16maleH2145 and femaleH5347 He createdH1254 them. 28GodH430 blessedH1288 them; and GodH430 saidH559 to them, “17Be fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235, and fillH4390 the earthH776, and subdueH3533 it; and ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the 18skyH8064 and over everyH3605 livingH2416 thingH2416 that 19movesH7430 on the earthH776.” 29Then GodH430 saidH559, “BeholdH2009, 20I have givenH5414 you everyH3605 plantH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 that is on the 21surfaceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776, and everyH3605 treeH6086 22whichH834 has fruitH6529 yieldingH2232 seedH2233; it shall be foodH402 for you; 30and 23to everyH3605 beastH2421 of the earthH776 and to everyH3605 birdH5775 of the 24skyH8064 and to everyH3605 thingH3605 that 25movesH7430 on the earthH776 26whichH834 has lifeH5315H2421, I have given everyH3605 greenH3418 plantH6212 for foodH402”; and it was soH3651.
