over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over
all the earth, and over every creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth.
(27) So God created
man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them.

(31) And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she
took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with
her; and he did eat.
