Genesis 1:26–31

²⁶Then God said, “Let us make humans^c in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the wild animals of the earth^d and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”^*

²⁷So God created humans^e in his image,

in the image of God he created them;^f

male and female he created them.^*

²⁸God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”^{* 29}God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.^{* 30}And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.^{* 31}God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.^*
