Genesis 1:26-28 outlines God’s creation of humanity. God declares, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness,” and grants them dominion over the earth and its creatures. He then creates humanity in his own image, both male and female, blesses them, and instructs them to be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it.

26 Then God said, “Let us make humans[a] in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the wild animals of the earth[b] and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”

27 So God created humans[c] in his image,
in the image of God he created them;[d]
male and female he created them.
28 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 air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
