Bible verse for August 2

²⁴ God said, “Let the earth give rise to living creatures according to their kinds—livestock, crawling things, and the earth’s wild animals according to their kinds,” and it was so. ²⁵ God made the earth’s wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and every crawling thing of the ground according to its kind. God saw that it was good. ²⁶ Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness. They are to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the sky, the livestock and the whole earth, and every crawling thing that crawls on the earth.” ²⁷ So God created man in his image; in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. ²⁸ God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and subdue it, and rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every living thing that crawls on the earth.” ²⁹ God said, “Here, I have given you every seed-producing plant across the face of the whole earth, and every tree whose fruit produces seed. They will be your food. ³⁰ To all the wild animals of the earth, all the birds of the sky, and all that crawls on the earth—every creature that has life within it—I have given all the green plants as food,” and it was so.
