God Created Man in His Own Image: Seven Verses

Genesis 1:22-28 King James Version (KJV)

22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

26 And 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.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

God blessed the fowls and sea creatures as they were commanded to become fruitful and multiply in the waters and earth. This completed the fifth day. Next, God brought the living creatures after their kind; it was all good.

Finally, God made man in God’s image and likeness; they were given dominion over all the other creatures previously created. God created man in His own image; the Almighty made man male and female, blessed them and gave them the same directive as the other beasts of the field.

That was to become fruitful and to multiply, replenish the earth; they also had to subdue the earth because they were given dominion over everything in it. Seven verses!
