26 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.’ 27So God created humankind in his image, in the image of
God he created them; 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. 30And 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.
