Genesis 1.20-2.4a
The Fifth Day
God said, "I command the ocean to be full of living creatures, and I
command birds to fly above the earth." So God made the giant sea
monsters and all the living creatures that swim in the ocean. He also
made every kind of bird. God looked at what he had done, and it was
good. Then he gave the living creatures his blessing—he told the
ocean creatures to live everywhere in the ocean and the birds to live
everywhere on earth. Evening came and then morning—that was the fifth
day.
The Sixth Day
God said, "I command the earth to give life to all kinds of tame
animals, wild animals, and reptiles." And that's what happened. God
made every one of them. Then he looked at what he had done, and it was
good. God said, "Now we will make humans, and they will be like us. We
will let them rule the fish, the birds, and all other living
creatures."
So God created humans to be like himself; he made men and women. God
gave them his blessing and said:
Have a lot of children! Fill the earth with people and bring it under
your control. Rule over the fish in the ocean, the birds in the sky,
and every animal on the earth.I have provided all kinds of fruit and
grain for you to eat. And I have given the green plants as food for
everything else that breathes. These will be food for animals, both
wild and tame, and for birds. God looked at what he had done. All of
it was very good! Evening came and then morning—that was the sixth
day. So the heavens and the earth and everything else were created.
The Seventh Day
By the seventh day God had finished his work, and so he rested. God
blessed the seventh day and made it special because on that day he
rested from his work. That's how God created the heavens and the
earth."
God bless you.
