The Lord creates abundantly—so abundantly that we read that the water and the air were swarming with life. It is teeming with life. The animals that live in the water are divided into two groups. The first group includes the big aquatic animals like crocodiles, hippos, and whales. Then there are the other smaller animals that also live in the water. The big and the small were all created by God’s voice.
21 Dieu créa les grands poissons et tous les animaux vivants qui se meuvent, et que les eaux produisirent en abondance selon leur espèce; il créa aussi tout oiseau ailé selon son espèce. Dieu vit que cela était bon.
