On the Sixth Day…
Day 6: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth…And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.”
Genesis 1:27-28, 31
