²⁶ Furthermore God said, ^(A)[a]Let us make man in our ^[b]image according to our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over the beasts, and over all the earth, and over everything that creepeth and moveth on the earth.

²⁷ Thus God created the man in his image: in the image of God created he him: he created them ^(B)male and female.

²⁸ And God ^[c]blessed them, and God said to them, ^(C)Bring forth fruit, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over every beast that moveth upon the earth.
