Genesis 1:20-28
20Then God said, “Let the waters 1teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth 2in the open 3expanse of the heavens.” 21And God created 4the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind; and God saw that it was good. 22God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
245Then God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures according to 6their kind: livestock and crawling things and animals of the earth according to 7their kind”; and it was so. 25God made the 8animals of the earth according to 9their kind, and the livestock according to 10their kind, and everything that crawls on the ground according to its kind; and God saw that it was good.
26Then God said, “11Let 12Us make 13mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and 14let them 15rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the livestock and over all the earth, and over every crawling thing that crawls on the earth.” 27So God created man 16in His own image, in the image of God He created him; 17male and female He created them. 28God blessed them; and God said to them, “18Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that 19moves on the earth.”
