'Man' in the Bible

God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.

No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,

Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;

Yahweh God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."

Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.

The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper suitable for him.

Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.

He made the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the man.

The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called 'woman,' because she was taken out of Man."

Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.

They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

They heard the voice of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.

Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"

The man said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."

The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."

The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

Yahweh God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he put forth his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever..."

So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man with Yahweh's help."

Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him in God's likeness.

Yahweh said, "My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred twenty years."

Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.

Yahweh said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground; man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."

This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.

All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.

Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.

I will surely require your blood of your lives. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, I will require the life of man.

Whoever sheds man's blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.

I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your seed may also be numbered.

Behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir, but he who will come forth out of your own body will be your heir."

He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him. He will live opposite all of his brothers."

They said, "Stand back!" Then they said, "This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now will we deal worse with you, than with them!" They pressed hard on the man Lot, and drew near to break the door.

The firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.

But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Behold, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken. For she is a man's wife."

The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin, neither had any man known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.

The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether Yahweh had made his journey prosperous or not.

It happened, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,

The man bowed his head, and worshiped Yahweh.

Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.

It happened, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, "This is what the man said to me," that he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.

The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

They called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" She said, "I will go."

Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

She said to the servant, "Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." She took her veil, and covered herself.

Abraham gave up the spirit, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.

Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death."

The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.

Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."

The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.

If you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you."

Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.

The man said, "Let me go, for the day breaks." Jacob said, "I won't let you go, unless you bless me."

The young man didn't wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.

A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, "What are you looking for?"

The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.

When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, "By the man, whose these are, I am with child." She also said, "Please discern whose are these -- the signet, and the cords, and the staff."

Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

They both dreamed a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.

We dreamed a dream in one night, I and he. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

There was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams. To each man according to his dream he interpreted.

"Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"

Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt."

They said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more."

"The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country.

The man, the lord of the land, said to us, 'By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your houses, and go your way.

Judah spoke to him, saying, "The man solemnly warned us, saying, 'You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.'

but if you'll not send him, we'll not go down, for the man said to us, 'You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.'"

Israel said, "Why did you treat me so badly, telling the man that you had another brother?"

They said, "The man asked directly concerning ourselves, and concerning our relatives, saying, 'Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?' We just answered his questions. Is there any way we could know that he would say, 'Bring your brother down?'"

Their father, Israel, said to them, "If it must be so, then do this. Take from the choice fruits of the land in your bags, and carry down a present for the man, a little balm, a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts, and almonds;

Take your brother also, get up, and return to the man.

May God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved."

The man did as Joseph commanded, and the man brought the men to Joseph's house.

The man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet. He gave their donkeys fodder.

He asked them of their welfare, and said, "Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he yet alive?"

Then they hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.

Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.

Joseph said to them, "What deed is this that you have done? Don't you know that such a man as I can indeed divine?"

He said, "Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my bondservant; but as for you, go up in peace to your father."

We said to my lord, 'We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.'

So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Pharaoh's.
