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.

31 Dieu vit tout ce qu’il avait fait et voici, cela était très bon. Ainsi, il y eut un soir, et il y eut un matin: ce fut le sixième jour.
