Genesis 1:24–30

^24aThen God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures after ¹their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind”; and it was so.

²⁵God made the ^abeasts of the earth after ¹their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.

²⁶Then God said, “Let ^aUs make ^bman in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them ^crule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the ¹sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

²⁷God created man ^ain His own image, in the image of God He created him; ^bmale and female He created them.

²⁸God blessed them; and God said to them, “^aBe fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the ¹sky and over every living thing that ²moves on the earth.”

²⁹Then God said, “Behold, ^aI have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the ¹surface of all the earth, and every tree ²which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;

³⁰and ^ato every beast of the earth and to every bird of the ¹sky and to every thing that ²moves on the earth ³which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so.
