And God saw that [it was] good. 26 And God said, "Let us make humankind in our image and according to our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of heaven, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every moving thing that moves upon the earth." 27 So God created humankind in his image, in the likeness of God he created him, male and female he created them.
