Genesis 1:26
The Scripture
(26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and 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.
Chapter overview (whole chapter)
In Genesis 1 God creates the heavens and the earth and separates light from darkness, then the sky, the waters, the land, and the plants, followed by the sun, moon and stars, the sea creatures, the birds, and finally humanity. The chapter emphasizes that each creation is good and that God rests on the seventh day, establishing the Sabbath. This establishes the orderly and purposeful nature of creation.
