25This sea is great and its hands are spacious. There are creeping things without number: the small animals with the great.

21And God created the great sea creatures, and everything with a living soul and the ability to move that the waters produced, according to their species, and all the flying creatures, according to their kind. And God saw that it was good.

13And the sea gave up the dead who were in it. And death and Hell gave up their dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.

9If I assume my feathers in early morning, and dwell in the utmost parts of the sea, 10even there, your hand will lead me forth, and your right hand will hold me.

2When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and the rivers will not cover you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, and the flames will not scorch you. 3For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have presented Egypt as your atonement, Ethiopia and Seba on your behalf.

6God also said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide waters from waters.” 7And God made a firmament, and he divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament. And so it became. 8And God called the firmament ‘Heaven.’ And it became evening and morning, the second day. 9Truly God said: “Let the waters that are under heaven be gathered together into one place; and let the dry land appear.” And so it became.

26And he said: “Let us make Man to our image and likeness. And let him rule over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and the wild beasts, and the entire earth, and every animal that moves on the earth.”
