On the sixth day： God said：" Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds： livestock： creeping things and wild animals： each according to its kind. " So it was. God made all the animals： great and small： and every creeping thing. Then there was life abounding in the woods and on the plains： as well as in the air and in the sea. What a beautiful world. Still what a strange world： for there were no people in it.
God had not yet finished his work of creation： for he wished to have people live in the wonderful world he had made. They could enjoy its beauties and take care of it as no other living creature could do. God said：" Let us make man in our image： after our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air： over the livestock and over all the earth： and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. " So God created man in His own image： in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
