3 For by His exceeding great might He established the heavens, and in His incomprehensible wisdom He set them in order. And the earth He separated from the water that surroundeth it, and He set it firm on the sure foundation of His own will; and the living creatures which walk upon it He commanded to exist by His ordinance. Having before created the sea and the living creatures therein, He enclosed it by His own power. (1CL) 4 Above all, as the most excellent and exceeding great work of His intelligence, with His sacred and faultless hands He formed man in the impress of His own image. (1CL) 5 For thus saith God Let us make man after our image and after our likeness. And God made man; male and female made He them. (1CL) 6 So having finished all these things, He praised them and blessed them and said, Increase and multiply. (1CL)
