Genesis 1:27-30
New King James Version
27 So God created man (A)in His own image; in the image of God He created him; (B)male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, (C)“Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and (D)subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that [a]moves on the earth.”
29 And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; (E)to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to (F)every beast of the earth, to every (G)bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is [b]life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so.
