Genesis 1:17-25 Modern English Version (MEV)

17. Then God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,

18. to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. Then God saw that it was good.

19. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

20. Then God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures and let the birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.”

21. So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters swarmed, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

22. Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.”

23. So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24. Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so.

25. So God made the beasts of the earth according to their kind, and the livestock according to their kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
