After creating man and woman, Jehovah made known his purpose regarding the earth when he instructed the first couple: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth. ”
Kad Jehova bija radījis vīrieti un sievieti, viņš darīja zināmu savu nodomu attiecībā uz Zemi, dodams pirmajiem cilvēkiem norādījumu: ” Augļojieties un vairojieties! Piepildiet zemi un pakļaujiet sev to un valdiet pār zivīm jūŗā un putniem gaisā un visiem dzīvniekiem, kas rāpo pa zemi. ” ( 1. Mozus 1: 28.)
