26 Then God said, ^k“Let ^lus make man¹ in our image, after our likeness. And ^mlet them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

7 then the Lord God formed the man of ^udust from the ground and ^vbreathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and ^wthe man became a living creature.

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, ^v“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. 2 ^wThe fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered. 3 ^xEvery moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. 4 ^yBut you shall not eat flesh with its ^zlife, that is, its blood. 5 And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: ^afrom every beast I will require it and from man. ^bFrom his fellow man I will ^crequire a reckoning for the life of man.

7 And you,¹ be fruitful and multiply, increase greatly on the earth and multiply in it.”
