26 Then God said, “[e]Let (C)Us make (D)mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and [f]let them (E)rule 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 crawling thing that crawls on the earth.” 27 So God created man (F)in His own image, in the image of God He created him; (G)male and female He created them.
