- Genesis 1:26-27, 31
- 26And 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 fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
