1599 Geneva Bible
20 Afterward God said, Let the waters bring forth in abundance every [a]creeping thing that hath [b]life: and let the fowl fly upon the earth in the [c]open firmament of the heaven.
21 Then God created the great whales, and everything living and moving, which the [d]waters brought forth in abundance according to their kind, and every feathered fowl according to his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 Then God [e]blessed them, saying, Bring forth fruit and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the fowl multiply in the earth.
