Genesis 1:26-31
26 Then God said, “Let us make man[a] in our
image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea
and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth
and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in his own
image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 And 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 heavens
and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And
God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on 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 heavens 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 And God
saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was
evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
