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.”
27
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.
30And I have given every green plant as food
for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky,
and the small animals that scurry along the
ground—everything that has life.” And that
is what happened.
31 Then God looked over all he had made,
and he saw that it was very good!
And evening passed and morning came,
marking the sixth day.
EXODUS
PATRIARCH
So the creation of the heavens and the earth
and everything in them was completed.
2 On the seventh day God had finished his
work of creation, so he rested* from all his

work. 3And God blessed the seventh day and
declared it holy, because it was the day when
he rested from all his work of creation.
4a This is the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth.
The Man and Woman in Eden • GENESIS 2:4b-25
4bWhen the Lord God made the earth and the
heavens, 5 neither wild plants nor grains were
growing on the earth. For the Lord God had not
yet sent rain to water the earth, and there were
no people to cultivate the soil. 6 Instead, springs*
came up from the ground and watered all the
land. 7 Then the Lord God formed the man from
the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath
of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.
8 Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden
in the east, and there he placed the man he had
made. 9 The Lord God made all sorts of trees grow
up from the ground—trees that were beautiful
and that produced delicious fruit. In the middle
of the garden he placed the tree of life and the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 A river flowed from the land of Eden,
watering the garden and then dividing into four
branches. 11 The first branch, called the Pishon,
flowed around the entire land of Havilah, where
gold is found. 12 The gold of that land is exceptionally pure; aromatic resin and onyx stone are
also found there. 13 The second branch, called the
Gihon, flowed around the entire land of Cush.
14 The third branch, called the Tigris, flowed east
of the land of Asshur. The fourth branch is called
the Euphrates.
15 The Lord God placed the man in the Garden
of Eden to tend and watch over it. 16 But the Lord
God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit
of every tree in the garden—17 except the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its
fruit, you are sure to die.”
18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for
the man to be alone. I will make a helper who
is just right for him.” 19 So the Lord God formed
from the ground all the wild animals and all the
birds of the sky. He brought them to the man* to
see what he would call them, and the man chose
a name for each one. 20 He gave names to all the
livestock, all the birds of the sky, and all the wild
animals. But still there was no helper just right
for him.
1:26a Or man; Hebrew reads adam. 1:26b As in Syriac version; Hebrew
reads all the earth. 1:27 Or the man; Hebrew reads ha-adam. 2:2 Or
ceased; also in 2:3. 2:6 Or mist. 2:19 Or Adam, and so throughout the
chapter.

KINGDOM
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.”
23And evening passed and morning came,
marking the fifth day.
