UGenesise 1:27-31

UNkulunkulu wamdala umuntu ngomfanekiso wakhe, wamdala ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu; wabadala owesilisa nowesifazane. UNkulunkulu wababusisa, wathi kubo: Zalani, nande, nihlale emhlabeni, niwulime. Nibuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, nezinyoni zezulu, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni. UNkulunkulu wathi: Bhekani, ngiyaninika zonke izimila ezithela imbewu, ezisemhlabeni wonke, nemithi yonke ethela izithelo ethela imbewu; kufanele kube ngukudla kini. Kepha zonke izilwane zomhlaba, nezinyoni zonke zezulu, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni, okukhona kuzo ukuphila, ngazinika zonke izitshalo eziluhlaza zibe ngukudla. Kwenzeka kanje. UNkulunkulu wabheka konke akwenzileyo, wabona ukuthi kwakukuhle kakhulu. Kwahlwa, kwaba kusasa, usuku lwesithupha.
