²⁴ Then God said, “Let the earth be filled with ·animals [living creatures], ·each producing more of its own kind [^Laccording to their kind/species]. Let there be ·tame animals [beasts; livestock] and small crawling animals and wild animals, ·and let each produce more of its kind [^Laccording to their kind/species].” And it happened.

²⁵ So God made the wild animals, the ·tame animals [beasts; livestock], and all the small crawling animals ·to produce more of their own kind [^Laccording to their kind/species]. God saw that this was good.

²⁶ Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image and likeness. And let them ·rule [^Thave dominion] over the fish in the sea and the birds in the ·sky [heavens], over the ·tame animals [beasts; livestock], over all the earth, and over all the small crawling animals on the earth.”
