will then produce the kinds of plants and
trees from which they came.” And that
is what happened. 12 The land produced
vegetation—all sorts of seed-bearing
plants, and trees with seed-bearing fruit.
Their seeds produced plants and trees
of the same kind. And God saw that it
was good.

came, marking the third day.

Then God said, “Let lights appear in the
sky to separate the day from the night.
Let them be signs to mark the seasons,
days, and years. 15 Let these lights in the
sky shine down on the earth.” And that
is what happened. 16 God made two great
lights—the larger one to govern the day,
and the smaller one to govern the night.
He also made the stars. 17 God set these
lights in the sky to light the earth, 18 to
govern the day and night, and to separate
the light from the darkness. And God saw
that it was good.
19 And evening passed and morning
came, marking the fourth day.
Then God said, “Let the waters swarm
with fish and other life. Let the skies
be filled with birds of every kind.” 21 So
God created great sea creatures and every
living thing that scurries and swarms in
the water, and every sort of bird—each
producing offspring of the same kind.
And God saw that it was good. 22 Then
God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful
and multiply. Let the fish fill the seas,
and let the birds multiply on the earth.”
23 And evening passed and morning
came, marking the fifth day.
Then God said, “Let the earth produce
every sort of animal, each producing
offspring of the same kind—livestock,
small animals that scurry along the
ground, and wild animals.” And that is
what happened. 25 God made all sorts

of wild animals, livestock, and small
animals, each able to produce offspring
of the same kind. And God saw that it
was good.
26 Then God said, “Let us make human
beings* in our image, to be like us. They
will reign over the fish in the sea, the
birds in the sky, the livestock, all the
wild animals on the earth,* and the small
animals that scurry along the ground.”

So God created human beings* in his
own image.
In the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
28 Then God blessed them and said,
“Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth
and govern it. Reign over the fish in
the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the
animals that scurry along the ground.”
29 Then God said, “Look! I have given
you every seed-bearing plant throughout
the earth and all the fruit trees for your
food. 30 And I have given every green plant
as food for all the wild animals, the birds
in the sky, and the small animals that
