Genesis 1:26-28
26 Then God said, “Let Us
make man in our image, after our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and
the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and
every creature that crawls upon it.”
27 So God created man in His

28 God blessed them and said
to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over
the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon
the earth.”…
