Genesis 1:20-25

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ God said, “Let the waters be filled with living creatures and let birds fly above the earth in the firmament of the heavens.” ²¹ God created the great sea creatures and all the other creatures that fill the waters, each according to its kind, and all the birds that fly in the sky, each according to its kind. ²² God blessed them saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of the sea, and let the birds multiply upon the earth.” ²³ And this was the evening and the morning of the fifth day.

²⁴ God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures each according to its kind: cattle and reptiles and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. ²⁵ God made the savage beasts according to their kind and the cattle according to their kind and all of the reptiles according to their kind. And God saw that it was good.
