Genesis 1:20-28
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.” 21And GodH430 createdH1254 4the greatH1419 seaH8577 creaturesH8577 and everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 that movesH7430, with whichH834 the watersH4325 swarmedH8317, according to their kindH4327, and everyH3605 wingedH3671 birdH5775 according to its kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896. 22GodH430 blessedH1288 them, sayingH559, “BeH6509 fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235, and fillH4390 the watersH4325 in the seasH3220, and let birdsH5775 multiplyH7235 on the earthH776.” 23And there was eveningH6153 and there was morningH1242, a fifthH2549 dayH3117.
245Then GodH430 saidH559, “Let the earthH776 produceH3318 livingH2416 creaturesH5315 according to 6their kindH4327: livestockH929 and crawlingH7431 thingsH7431 and animalsH2421 of the earthH776 according to 7their kindH4327”; and it was soH3651. 25GodH430 madeH6213 the 8animalsH2421 of the earthH776 according to 9their kindH4327, and the livestockH929 according to 10their kindH4327, and everythingH3605 that crawlsH7431 on the groundH127 according to its kindH4327; and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896.
26Then GodH430 saidH559, “11Let 12Us makeH6213 13mankindH120 in Our imageH6754, according to Our likenessH1823; and 14let them 15ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and over the livestockH929 and over allH3605 the earthH776, and over everyH3605 crawlingH7431 thingH7431 that crawlsH7430 on the earthH776.” 27So GodH430 createdH1254 manH120 16in His own imageH6754, in the imageH6754 of GodH430 He createdH1254 him; 17maleH2145 and femaleH5347 He createdH1254 them. 28GodH430 blessedH1288 them; and GodH430 saidH559 to them, “18BeH6509 fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235, and fillH4390 the earthH776, and subdueH3533 it; and ruleH7287 over the fishH1710 of the seaH3220 and over the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and over everyH3605 livingH2416 thingH2416 that 19movesH7430 on the earthH776.”
