INTRO

This file gives a minimal English phrasing of the original line, built directly from the Line Source File.

It’s readable, but not smoothed. Nothing is added beyond what’s traceable.

RENDERED LINE

So God created the human in his image; in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

RENDERING NOTES

Repetition of “created” (bara) three times — emphatic poetic structure.

“The human” (ha-adam) used generically, not yet gender-specific.

“In his image / in the image of God” — deliberate mirror phrasing.

Object pronouns shift from singular (him) to plural (them), indicating collective identity.

“Male and female” are stated without hierarchy — presenting binary within unified humanity.

INSERTION / HELPER WORD TRACKING

“So” reflects narrative continuation.

Semicolons used to mark poetic colons.

“The” added for readability with “human”; no conceptual additions.

No interpretive smoothing added.

CONTEXTUAL PLACEMENT

This is the fulfillment of the decision stated in verse 26.

It declares human origin as divine act and divine resemblance.

Sets up the blessing and directive in verse 28.

STRUCTURAL ALIGNMENT NOTES

Three-part poetic structure: create – image – gender pairing.

Follows Hebraic poetic parallelism, reinforcing divine intentionality.

Echoed in Genesis 5:1–2 with similar structure and phrasing.

This rendering is provided for orientation only.

It draws from the Line Source File and reflects the structure of the original text as faithfully as possible, while adapting to minimal English phrasing.
