1:20 God said, “Let the water swarm with swarms 1 of living creatures and let birds fly 2 above the earth across the expanse of the sky.” 1:21 God created the great sea creatures 3 and every living and moving thing with which the water swarmed, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. God saw that it was good. 1:22 God blessed them 4 and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.” 5
