28 God blessed them; and God said to them, “(A)Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that [a]moves on the earth.” 29 Then God said, “Behold, (B)I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the [b]surface of all the earth, and every tree [c]which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; 30 and (C)to every animal of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to everything that [d]moves on the earth [e]which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so. 31 And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very (D)good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

And so the heavens and the earth were completed, and all (E)their heavenly [f]lights. By (F)the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and (G)He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on it He rested from all His work which God had created [g]and made.

The Creation of Man and Woman

[h](H)This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in (I)the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven.
