Genesis 1:30
To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so. + 1:30 Day 6b: God creates 'adam ·human being· in his own likeness, this is unique to all other creation. Representing all of God’s spectrum, he creates both zachar ·male· and n'keivah ·female·; representing his unity oneness, God establishes marriage as a oneness and marital intimacy as a bond (Gen 2:24-25). Humans are given both work and sustenance.
