in the image of God^(J) he created them;
male and female^(K) he created them.^(L)

²⁸God blessed them and said to them,^(M) “Be fruitful and increase in number;^(N) fill the earth^(O) and subdue it. Rule over^(P) the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.^(Q)”
