Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and
multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea,
over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the
earth." And God said, "See, I
have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the
earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.
Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything
that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb
for food"; and it was so. Then God saw everything that He had made, and
indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth
day. Genesis 1:28-31
2.
This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were
created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, before
any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had
grown. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no
man to till the ground; but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole
face of the ground. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. Genesis 2:4-7
3.
And behold, I Myself am bringing
floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is
the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die. Genesis 6:17
4.
And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which
is the breath of life. So those that entered, male and female of all flesh,
went in as God had commanded him; and the Lord shut him in. Now the flood was
on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it
rose high above the earth. The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the
earth, and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters. And the waters
prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole
heaven were covered. The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the
mountains were covered. And all flesh died that moved on the earth: birds and
cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every
man. All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was
on the dry land, died. So He destroyed all living things which were on the face
of the ground: both man and cattle, creeping thing and bird of the air. They
were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark
remained alive. And the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty
days. Genesis 7:15-24
5.
O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them
all. The earth is full of Your possessions-- This great and wide sea, In which
are innumerable teeming things, Living things both small and great. There the
ships sail about; There is that Leviathan Which You have made to play there.
These all wait for You, That You may give them their food in due season. What
You give them they gather in; You open Your hand, they are filled with good. You
hide Your face, they are troubled; You take away their breath, they die and
return to their dust. You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; And You
renew the face of the earth. Psalm104:24-30
6.
I said in my heart, "Concerning the condition of the sons of
men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like
animals." For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one
thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Surely, they all have one
breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity. All go to one
place: all are from the dust, and all return to dust. Who knows the spirit of
the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes
down to the earth? So I perceived that nothing is better than that a man should
rejoice in his own works, for that is his heritage. For who can bring him to
see what will happen after him? Ecclesiastes
3:18-22

And each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit
wanted to go, and they did not turn when theywent. Ezekiel 1:12
As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them. 19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 20 Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went; and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. Ezekiel 1:18-21
9.
"Likewise, son of man, set your face against the daughters of
your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; prophesy against them, 18 and
say, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Woe to the women who sew magic charms on
their sleeves and make veils for the heads of people of every height to hunt
souls! Will you hunt the souls of My people, and keep yourselves alive? 19 And
will you profane Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of
bread, killing people who should not die, and keeping people alive who should
not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies?" 20 'Therefore
thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am against your magic charms by which
you hunt souls there like birds. I will tear them from your arms, and let the
souls go, the souls you hunt like birds. 21 I will also tear off your veils and
deliver My people out of your hand, and they shall no longer be as prey in your
hand. Then you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezekiel 13:17-21As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them. 19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 20 Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went; and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. Ezekiel 1:18-21
8.
And the cherubim were lifted up. This was the living creature I saw
by the River Chebar. When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and
when the cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the same
wheels also did not turn from beside them. When the cherubim stood still, the
wheels stood still, and when one was lifted up, the other lifted itself up, for
the spirit of the living creature was in them. Ezekiel 10:15-17
