Berean Standard Bible

“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”

Save as image

Study note

This verse carries out the plan announced in the previous one and is written with a poetic, three-line structure that slows the reader down. The word for create appears three times, underlining that humanity is the high point of the creation account.
