On the fifth day the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, great whales among them, and winged fowl fly above the earth.
KJV (Genesis 1:20–21): “And 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. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”
