# Let the earth produce living creatures
|
|
|
|
"Let the earth produce living things" or "Let many living animals live on the earth." This is a command. By commanding that the earth should produce living creatures, God made the earth produce living creatures. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-imperative]])

# each according to its own kind
|
|
|
|
"so that each kind of animal will produce more of its own kind"
|

# livestock, creeping things, and wild animals
|
|
|
|
This shows that God created all kinds of animals. If your language has another way of grouping all the animals, you can use that, or you can use these groups.

|
# livestock
|
|
|
|
These are animals that people look after.
|
|
|
|
# creeping things
|
|
|
|
"small animals"
|
|
|
|
# wild animals
|
|
|
|
These are animals that live in the wild. People do not take care of them.

|
|
# It was so
|
|
|

"It happened like that" or "That is what happened." What God commanded happened just as he said it should. This phrase appears throughout the chapter and has the same meaning. See how you translated this in [Genesis 1:7](../01/07.md).
