So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Study Note
The phrase 'image of God' (tselem Elohim) is among the most theologically consequential formulations in the Hebrew Bible. Ancient Near Eastern usage placed royal images in temples as representatives of the king's authority; here all humanity collectively receives that representative function. The verse's tripartite poetic structure emphasizes the creative act, the divine likeness, and the inclusion of both male and female as equally bearing that image. This has served as the foundation for doctrines of human dignity, gender equality, and the intrinsic worth of every person across Jewish, Christian, and Islamic thought.
