Genesis 1:11-27
New Living Translation
11 Then God said, “Let the land sprout with vegetation—every sort of seed-bearing plant, and trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.” And that is what happened. 12 The land produced vegetation—all sorts of seed-bearing plants, and trees with seed-bearing fruit. Their seeds produced plants and trees of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.
13 And evening passed and morning came, marking the third day.
14 Then God said, “Let lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. Let them be signs to mark the seasons, days, and years. 15 Let these lights in the sky shine down on the earth.” And that is what happened. 16 God made two great lights—the larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set these lights in the sky to light the earth, 18 to govern the day and night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 And evening passed and morning came, marking the fourth day.
20 Then God said, “Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.” 21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird—each producing offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply. Let the fish fill the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.”
23 And evening passed and morning came, marking the fifth day.
24 Then God said, “Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind—livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and wild animals.” And that is what happened. 25 God made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able to produce offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, “Let us make human beings[a] in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth,[b] and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”
27 So God created human beings[c] in his own image.
In the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation:(A) seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.(B)” And it was so.(C) 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds(D) and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.(E) 13 And there was evening, and there was morning(F)—the third day.
14 And God said, “Let there be lights(G) in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night,(H) and let them serve as signs(I) to mark sacred times,(J) and days and years,(K) 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so.(L) 16 God made two great lights—the greater light(M) to govern(N) the day and the lesser light to govern(O) the night.(P) He also made the stars.(Q) 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night,(R) and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.(S) 19 And there was evening, and there was morning(T)—the fourth day.
20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures,(U) and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.”(V) 21 So God created(W) the great creatures of the sea(X) and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it,(Y) according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind.(Z) And God saw that it was good.(AA) 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”(AB) 23 And there was evening, and there was morning(AC)—the fifth day.
24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures(AD) according to their kinds:(AE) the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so.(AF) 25 God made the wild animals(AG) according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds.(AH) And God saw that it was good.(AI)
26 Then God said, “Let us(AJ) make mankind(AK) in our image,(AL) in our likeness,(AM) so that they may rule(AN) over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky,(AO) over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
