over the fish of the sea, and over the fowls of the air, and over
cattle, and over all the earth, and over all worms that creep on the
earth. And God created man after his likeness, after the likeness of
God created he him: male and female created he them. And God blessed
them, and God said unto them: Grow and multiply and fill the earth and
subdue it, and have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and over the
fowls of the air, and over all the beasts that move on the earth. And
God said: see, I have given yow all herbs that sow seed which are on
all the earth, and all manner trees that have fruit in them and sow
seed: to be meat for yow and for all beasts of the earth, and unto all
fowls of the air, and unto all that creepeth on the earth where in is
life, that they may have all manner herbs and grass for to eat, and
even so it was. And God beheld all that he had made, and lo they were
exceeding good: and so of the evening and morning was made the sixth
day.
Chapter .ij.
Thus was heaven and earth finished with all their apparel: and in the
seventh day God ended his work which he had made and rested in the
seventh day from all his works which he had made. And God blessed the
seventh day, and sanctified it, for in it he rested from all his works
which he had created and made. These are the generations of heaven and
earth when they were created, in the time when the LORD God created

So man was made a living soul. The LORD God also planted a garden in
Eden from the beginning, and there he set man whom he had formed. And
the LORD God made to spring out of the earth, all manner trees
beautiful to the sight and pleasant to eat, and the tree of life in the
midst {middes} of the garden: and also the tree of knowledge of good
and evil. And there sprong a river out of Eden to water the garden, and
thence divided itself, and grew into four principal waters. The name of
the one is Phison, he it is that compasseth all the land of Hevila,
where gold groweth. And the gold of that country is precious, there is
found bedellion and a stone called Onyx. The name of the second river
is Gihon, which compasseth all the land of Inde. And the name of the
third river is Hidekell, which runneth on the east side of the
Assyrians; And the fourth river is Euphrates. And the LORD God took
