⁹ And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place,^(A) and let dry ground^(B) appear.” And it was so.^{(C) 10} God called^(D) the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters^(E) he called “seas.”^(F) And God saw that it was good.^(G)

¹¹ Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation:^(H) seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.^(I)” And it was so.^{(J) 12} The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds^(K) and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.^{(L) 13} And there was evening, and there was morning^(M)—the third day.

²⁸ God blessed them and said to them,^(G) “Be fruitful and increase in number;^(H) fill the earth^(I) and subdue it. Rule over^(J) the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.^(K)”

²⁹ Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.^{(L) 30} And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life^(M) in it—I give every green plant for food.^(N)” And it was so.

³¹ God saw all that he had made,^(O) and it was very good.^(P) And there was evening, and there was morning^(Q)—the sixth day.
