The Lord God formed out of the ground every wild animal and every bird of the sky, and brought each to the man to see what he would call it. And whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.
for all the wildlife of the earth, for every bird of the sky, and for every creature that crawls on the earth #– #everything having the breath of life in it #– #I have given every green plant for food.’ And it was so.
Bring out all the living creatures that are with you #– #birds, livestock, those that crawl on the earth #– #and they will spread over the earth and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”
Then God said, ‘Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night. They will serve as signs for seasons and for days and years.
When there is a person whose work was done with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and he must give his portion to a person who has not worked for it, this too is futile and a great wrong.
So God created the large sea-creatures and every living creature that moves and swarms in the water, according to their kinds. He also created every winged creature according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Do not eat any of the creatures that swarm on the earth, anything that moves on its belly or walks on all fours or on many feet, for they are abhorrent.
