# Let the waters be filled with great numbers of living creatures
|
|
|
|
This is a command. By commanding that living creatures should fill the waters, God made them exist. Some languages may have one word that refers to all kinds of fish and sea animals. AT: "Let the waters be full of many living things" or "Let many animals that swim live in the oceans" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-imperative]])

Living things of the same "kind" are like the ones they came from. See how you translated "kind" in [Genesis 1:11,12](./11.md).

# every winged bird
|
|
|
|
"every flying thing that has wings." If the word for birds is used, it may be more natural in some languages to simply say "every bird," since all birds have wings.
|

|
|
# God saw that it was good
|
|
|
|
Here "it" refers to the birds and the fish. See how you translated this in [Genesis 1:4](./03.md).
