Genesis 1:11, 12, 21–25, 28 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth vegetation: seed-bearing plants and fruit trees, each bearing fruit with seed according to its kind.” And it was so. / The earth produced vegetation: seed-bearing plants according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. / So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters teemed according to their kinds, and every bird of flight after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 9:1, 7 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. / But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”
