Genesis 1:23 In-Context

21 So God created the large sea creatures, every type of creature that swims around in the water and every type of flying bird. God saw that they were good.

22 God blessed them and said, "Be fertile, increase in number, fill the sea, and let there be many birds on the earth."

23 There was evening, then morning--a fifth day.

24 Then God said, "Let the earth produce every type of living creature: every type of domestic animal, crawling animal, and wild animal." And so it was.

25 God made every type of wild animal, every type of domestic animal, and every type of creature that crawls on the ground. God saw that they were good.
