Genesis 1:20-2:3

New International Version

²⁰And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures,^(A) and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.”^(B) ²¹So God created^(C) the great creatures of the sea^(D) and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it,^(E) according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind.^(F) And God saw that it was good.^(G) ²²God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”^(H) ²³And there was evening, and there was morning^(I)—the fifth day.

²⁴And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures^(J) according to their kinds:^(K) the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so.^(L) ²⁵God made the wild animals^(M) according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds.^(N) And God saw that it was good.^(O)

²⁶Then God said, “Let us^(P) make mankind^(Q) in our image,^(R) in our likeness,^(S) so that they may rule^(T) over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky,^(U) over the livestock and all the wild animals,^[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

²⁷So God created^(V) mankind^(W) in his own image,^(X)
in the image of God^(Y) he created them;
male and female^(Z) he created them.^(AA)

²⁸God blessed them and said to them,^(AB) “Be fruitful and increase in number;^(AC) fill the earth^(AD) and subdue it. Rule over^(AE) the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.^(AF)”

²⁹Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.^(AG) ³⁰And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life^(AH) in it—I give every green plant for food.^(AI)” And it was so.

³¹God saw all that he had made,^(AJ) and it was very good.^(AK) And there was evening, and there was morning^(AL)—the sixth day.

2 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.^(AM)

²By the seventh day^(AN) God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.^(AO) ³Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy,^(AP) because on it he rested^(AQ) from all the work of creating^(AR) that he had done.
