1:27 God created humankind 1 in his own image,
in the image of God he created them, 2
male and female he created them. 3
1:28 God blessed 4 them and said 5 to them, “Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the earth and subdue it! 6 Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground.” 7 1:29 Then God said, “I now 8 give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the entire earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 9 1:30 And to all the animals of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to all the creatures that move on the ground – everything that has the breath of life in it – I give 10 every green plant for food.” It was so.
1:31 God saw all that he had made – and it was very good! 11 There was evening, and there was morning, the sixth day.
