241Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the earthH776 bringH3318 forthH3318 livingH2416 creaturesH5315 after 2their kindH4327: cattleH929 and creepingH7431 thingsH7431 and beastsH2421 of the earthH776 after 3their kindH4327”; and it was soH3651. 25GodH430 madeH6213 the 4beastsH2421 of the earthH776 after 5their kindH4327, and the cattleH929 after 6their kindH4327, and everythingH3605 that creepsH7431 on the groundH127 after its kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896.

26Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let 7Us makeH6213 8manH120 in Our imageH6754, according to Our likenessH1823; and let them 9ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the 10skyH8064 and over the cattleH929 and over allH3605 the earthH776, and over everyH3605 creepingH7431 thingH7431 that creepsH7430 on the earthH776.” 27GodH430 createdH1254 manH120 11in His own imageH6754, in the imageH6754 of GodH430 He createdH1254 him; 12maleH2145 and femaleH5347 He createdH1254 them. 28GodH430 blessedH1288 them; and GodH430 saidH559 to them, “13Be fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235, and fillH4390 the earthH776, and subdueH3533 it; and ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the 14skyH8064 and over everyH3605 livingH2416 thingH2416 that 15movesH7430 on the earthH776.” 29Then GodH430 saidH559, “BeholdH2009, 16I have givenH5414 you everyH3605 plantH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 that is on the 17surfaceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776, and everyH3605 treeH6086 18whichH834 has fruitH6529 yieldingH2232 seedH2233; it shall be foodH402 for you; 30and 19to everyH3605 beastH2421 of the earthH776 and to everyH3605 birdH5775 of the 20skyH8064 and to everyH3605 thingH3605 that 21movesH7430 on the earthH776 22whichH834 has lifeH5315H2421, I have given everyH3605 greenH3418 plantH6212 for foodH402”; and it was soH3651. 31GodH430 sawH7200 allH3605 that He had madeH6213, and beholdH2009, it was veryH3966 23goodH2896. And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, the sixthH8345 dayH3117.
