Genesis 1:24-31

Creation of Animals

  And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creepers, and its beasts of the earth after its kind; and it was so.  God made the beasts of the earth after its kind and cattle after their kind and all creepers upon the earth after their kind. And God saw that it was good. 

Creation of Man

  God said; Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth.   God created man in His image; in the image of God He created him. He created them male and female. 

God’s gifts to His creatures

  Then God blessed them, and 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 fowl of the heavens, and all animals that move upon the earth.” 

  God also said, “Behold, I have given you every herb seeding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree seeding seed; to you it shall be for food.   To every wild beast of the earth, to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creature that crawls on the earth which has in it a living soul every green plant is for food.”  And so it was. 

  God saw that all He had made was very good. And there was evening and morning the sixth day.
