IGenesisi 1:26-28

UNkulunkulu wayesethi: “Masenze abantu babe ngumfanekiso wethu, basifuze, babuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, izinyoni zezulu, izilwane ezifuywayo, nomhlaba wonke, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni ngezinhlobo zazo.” UNkulunkulu wamdala umuntu waba ngumfanekiso wakhe, wamenza ukuba afuze Yena, wabadala owesilisa nowesifazane, wababusisa, wathi: “Zalanani nande, nigcwalise umhlaba; niwubuse. Nibuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, naphezu kwezinyoni zezulu, nazo zonke izilwane ezinwabuzela emhlabeni.”
