Creation
of man and woman and giving them all of creation for their benefit
Genesis 1:26-31
Then God said: “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.
Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air,
and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and all the creatures that
crawl on the ground.” God created man in his image; in the divine image
he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them,
saying: “Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have
dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the
living things that move on the earth.”
God also
said: “See, I give you every seed-bearing plant all over the earth and
every tree that has seed-bearing fruit on it to be your food; and to all
the animals of the land, all the birds of the air, and all the living
creatures that crawl on the ground, I give all the green plants for
food.” And so it happened. God looked at everything he had made, and he
found it very good. Evening came, and morning followed—the sixth day.
