26 E disse Deus: Façamos ao ser humano à nossa imagem, conforme nossa semelhança; e domine os peixes do mar, e as aves dos céus, e os animais, e toda a terra, e todo animal que anda arrastando sobre a terra.

27 E criou Deus o ser humano à sua imagem, à imagem de Deus o criou; macho e fêmea os criou.

28 E Deus os abençoou; e disse-lhes Deus: Frutificai e multiplicai, e enchei a terra, e subjugai-a, e dominai os peixes do mar, as aves dos céus, e todos os animais que se movem sobre a terra.

29 E disse Deus: Eis que vos dei toda erva que dá semente, que está sobre a face de toda a terra; e toda árvore em que há fruto de árvore que dá semente, vos será para comer.

30 E a todo animal da terra, e a todas as aves dos céus, e a tudo o que se move sobre a terra, em que há vida, toda erva verde lhes será para comer: e foi assim.
