'Humankind' in the Bible
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."
So God created humankind in his image, in the likeness of God he created him, male and female he created them.
Male and female he created them. And he blessed them. And he called their name "Humankind" when they were created.
And it happened [that], when humankind began to multiply on the face of the ground, daughters were born to them.
Then the sons of God saw the daughters of humankind, that they [were] beautiful. And they took for themselves wives from all that they chose.
And Yahweh said, "My Spirit shall not abide with humankind forever in that he [is] also flesh. And his days [shall be] one hundred and twenty years."
The Nephilim [were] upon the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God went into the daughters of humankind, and they bore children to them.
And Yahweh saw that the evil of humankind [was] great upon the earth, and every inclination of the thoughts of his heart [was] always only evil.
And Yahweh regretted that he had made humankind on the earth, and {he was grieved in his heart}.
And Yahweh said, "I will destroy humankind whom I created from upon the face of the earth, from humankind, to animals, to creeping things, and to the birds of heaven, for I regret that I have made them."
And every living thing that moved on the earth perished--the birds, and the domesticated animals, and the wild animals, and everything that swarmed on the earth, and all humankind.
And he blotted out every living thing upon the surface of the ground, from humankind, to animals, to creeping things, and to the birds of heaven; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah and those who [were] with him in the ark remained.
And Yahweh smelled the soothing fragrance, and Yahweh said {to himself}, "{Never again will I curse} the ground for the sake of humankind, because the inclination of the heart of humankind [is] evil from his youth. {Nor will I ever again destroy} all life as I have done.
And {your lifeblood} I will require; from {every animal} I will require it. And from the hand of humankind, from the hand of [each] man to his brother I will require the life of humankind.
"[As for] the one shedding the blood of humankind, by humankind his blood shall be shed, for God made humankind in his own image.
Then Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower that {humankind} was building.
