And God said, ‘Let
the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and
creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind.’
And it was so. God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind,
and the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps upon the
ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, ‘Let us make
humankind 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,
and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.’
So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created
them;
male and female
he created them.

God 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.’
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. 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. God saw
everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there
was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
