Genesis 1:26-30

26Then God said, “1Let 2Us make 3mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and 4let them 5rule 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 6in His own image, in the image of God He created him; 7male and female He created them.

28God blessed them; and God said to them, “8Be 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 9moves on the earth.”

29Then God said, “Behold, 10I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the 11surface of all the earth, and every tree 12which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;

30and 13to every animal of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to everything that 14moves on the earth 15which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so.
