Genesis 1:26–28

26 Then God said, k“Let lus make man1 in our image, after our likeness. And mlet them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27  So God created man in his own image,

in the image of God he created him;

nmale and female he created them.

28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”


Genesis 9:5–6

5 And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: afrom every beast I will require it and from man. bFrom his fellow man I will crequire a reckoning for the life of man.

6  d“Whoever sheds the blood of man,

by man shall his blood be shed,

efor God made man in his own image.
