26 Puis Dieu dit: Faisons l’homme à notre image, selon notre ressemblance, et qu’il domine sur les poissons de la mer, sur les oiseaux du ciel, sur le bétail, sur toute la terre, et sur tous les reptiles qui rampent sur la terre.
27 Dieu créa l’homme à son image, il le créa à l’image de Dieu, il créa l’homme et la femme.
28 Dieu les bénit, et Dieu leur dit: Soyez féconds, multipliez, remplissez la terre, et l’assujettissez; et dominez sur les poissons de la mer, sur les oiseaux du ciel, et sur tout animal qui se meut sur la terre.
29 Et Dieu dit: Voici, je vous donne toute herbe portant de la semence et qui est à la surface de toute la terre, et tout arbre ayant en lui du fruit d’arbre et portant de la semence: ce sera votre nourriture.
30 Et à tout animal de la terre, à tout oiseau du ciel, et à tout ce qui se meut sur la terre, ayant en soi un souffle de vie, je donne toute herbe verte pour nourriture. Et cela fut ainsi.
