Genesis 1:24-31

241Then God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures according to 2their kind: livestock and crawling things and animals of the earth according to 3their kind”; and it was so. 25God made the 4animals of the earth according to 5their kind, and the livestock according to 6their kind, and everything that crawls on the ground according to its kind; and God saw that it was good.

26Then God said, “7Let 8Us make 9mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and 10let them 11rule 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 12in His own image, in the image of God He created him; 13male and female He created them. 28God blessed them; and God said to them, “14Be 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 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 animal of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to everything that 20moves on the earth 21which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so. 31And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very 22good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
