Genesis 1:23-31 God's Word Translation (GW)

23. There was evening, then morning—a fifth day.

24. Then God said, “Let the earth produce every type of living creature: every type of domestic animal, crawling animal, and wild animal.” And so it was.

25. God made every type of wild animal, every type of domestic animal, and every type of creature that crawls on the ground. God saw that they were good.

26. Then God said, “Let us make humans in our image, in our likeness. Let them rule the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the domestic animals all over the earth, and all the animals that crawl on the earth.”

27. So God created humans in his image.In the image of God he created them.He created them male and female.

28. God blessed them and said, “Be fertile, increase in number, fill the earth, and be its master. Rule the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that crawl on the earth.”

29. God said, “I have given you every plant with seeds on the face of the earth and every tree that has fruit with seeds. This will be your food.

30. I have given all green plants as food to every land animal, every bird in the sky, and every animal that crawls on the earth—every living, breathing animal.” And so it was.

31. And God saw everything that he had made and that it was very good. There was evening, then morning—the sixth day.
