⁴⁶ and thou didst command them to serve man, who was about to be formed.

⁴⁷ “On the fifth day thou didst command the seventh part, where the water had been gathered together, to bring forth living creatures, birds, and fishes; and so it was done. ⁴⁸ The dumb and lifeless water produced living creatures, as it was commanded,^[a] that therefore the nations might declare thy wondrous works.
