²⁰ And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds^[a] fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.”

^19 (A)Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed^[a] every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and ^(B)brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.

³³ He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon to the hyssop that grows out of the wall. He spoke also of beasts, and of birds, and of reptiles, and of fish.

³⁰ And ^(A)to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.

¹⁷ Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—that they may swarm on the earth, and ^(A)be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”

²² And God blessed them, saying, ^(A)“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”

¹⁴ And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for ^(A)signs and for ^(B)seasons,^[a] and for days and years,

⁷ And God made^[a] the expanse and ^(A)separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were ^(B)above the expanse. And it was so.
