Genesis 1:24
Douay-Rheims
And God said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the earth, according to their kinds. And it was so done.
Sforno
“let the earth bring forth living souls” – additional vitality, greater than [that of] growing things. “and it was so” – without excess or lack, for should there have been a mongrel from two species, it would not have reproduced.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
