ויברא אלהים את התנינים הגדלים ואת כל נפש החיה הרמשת אשר שרצו המים למיניהם ואת כל עוף כנף למינהו וירא אלהים כי טוב׃

Gen 1:21 [Masoretic Text]

וַיִּבְרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֶת־הַתַּנִּינִ֖ם הַגְּדֹלִ֑ים וְאֵ֣ת כָּל־נֶ֣פֶשׁ הַֽחַיָּ֣ה הָֽרֹמֶ֡שֶׂת אֲשֶׁר֩ שָׁרְצ֨וּ הַמַּ֜יִם לְמִֽינֵהֶ֗ם וְאֵ֨ת כָּל־עֹ֤וף כָּנָף֙ לְמִינֵ֔הוּ וַיַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים כִּי־טֹֽוב׃

Gen 1:21 [Samaritan Targum]

וברא אלה ית תלקסיתיה רברביה וית כל נפש חיתה דרמסת ולקפת מיה לגנוסיהון וית כל קמץ גנפר לגנוסה ועגל אלה הלא טב:

And God created the great sea creatures and every living soul that moves, which the waters swarmed after their kinds, and every winged bird after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
