Gen 1:20 | MHM | STEP | Genesis 1:20-23: The Creation of Fish and Birds These verses describe what God did on the fifth day of creation. On this day, God created living creatures for the first time—fish in the water and birds in the sky. God’s creative work moved step by step, from simple things to more complex and excellent things. The fish and birds were both made from the waters by God’s command, showing his power to make very different creatures from the same source. God also gave them a blessing so they would multiply and fill the earth. This shows God’s wisdom, power, and care for all living things. v. 20 : God said, “Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.” God ordered the seas to be full of living things and the sky to have birds flying. This does not mean the water created the animals by itself, but that God made sure the fish lived in water and birds lived in the air. God can create very different creatures from the same starting point.
