Then God said, “Now let’s make humans who will be like us. They will rule over all the fish in the sea and the birds in the air. They will rule over all the large animals and all the little things that crawl on the earth.” So God created humans in his own image. He created them to be like himself. He created them male and female.

God blessed them and said to them, “Have many children. Fill the earth and take control of it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the air. Rule over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

In the beginning, when God created the earth and sky

the earth was without life and not yet useful for anything. Deep waters covered the earth, and darkness covered the water. God’s Spirit was moving like a storm over the surface of the water.

Then God said, “Let there be light!” And light began to shine.

God looked at everything he had made. And he saw that everything was very good. There was evening, and then there was morning. This was the sixth day.

He saw the light, and he knew that it was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.

God said, “I am giving you all the grain bearing plants and all the fruit trees. These trees make fruit with seeds in it. This grain and fruit will be your food.

God named the light “day,” and he named the darkness “night.” There was evening, and then there was morning. This was the first day.

Then God said, “Let there be a space to separate the water into two parts!”

And I am giving all the green plants to the animals. These green plants will be their food. Every animal on earth, every bird in the air, and all the little things that crawl on the earth will eat that food.” And all these things happened.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the sky. These lights will separate the days from the nights. They will be used for signs to show when special meetings begin and to show the days and years.

Then God said, “Let the earth grow grass, plants that make grain, and fruit trees. The fruit trees will make fruit with seeds in it. And each plant will make its own kind of seed. Let these plants grow on the earth.” And it happened.

So God made the space and separated the water. Some of the water was above it, and some of the water was below it.

The earth grew grass and plants that made grain. And it grew trees that made fruit with seeds in it. Every plant made its own kind of seeds. And God saw that this was good.

So God made the two large lights. He made the larger light to rule during the day and the smaller light to rule during the night. He also made the stars.

Then God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered together so that the dry land will appear.” And it happened. God named the dry land “earth,” and he named the water that was gathered together “seas.” And God saw that this was good.

God blessed all the living things in the sea and told them to have many babies and fill the seas. And he blessed the birds on land and told them to have many more babies.

Then God said, “Let the earth produce many kinds of living things. Let there be many different kinds of animals. Let there be large animals and small crawling animals of every kind. And let all these animals produce more animals.” And all these things happened.

Then God said, “Let the water be filled with many living things, and let there be birds to fly in the air over the earth.”

So God made every kind of animal. He made the wild animals, the tame animals, and all the small crawling things. And God saw that this was good.
