“Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”” (Genesis 1:26 NKJV)

     In this verse we have a revelation of God which is surprising as the word God is plural. “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness:” The Hebrew word God here is plural.

““Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!” (Deuteronomy 6:4 NKJV)

     The Jewish belief their God is One was unique in a land where many gods were normal, usually with a god for each need. Many of these gods were used by many towns though each towns version many be different. Some towns even made a god more powerful than others and thus the central god.

Image is the same word used when the Philistines made images of the tumors and mice God plagued them with.

Likeness means to means to be like, to compare to and to think and imagine alike.

Dominion means to be over, to dominate, to tread down. The root meaning is to scrape or to scrape out.
