26 Then God said, "Now we will make human beings that will be like us in many ways. I want them to rule over the fish in the sea, over the birds, over all the ◄livestock/domestic animals►, and over all the other creatures that scurry across the ground." 27 So God created human beings that were like him in many ways. He made them to be like himself. He created some to be male and some to be female.
