Genesis 5
1 Here is a list of the descendants of Adam. When God created humans, he caused them to be like him in many ways.
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God made man, he made him in the image of God;
2 He created one man and one woman. He blessed them, and on the day that he created them, he called them ‘human beings’.
Male and female he made them, naming them Man, and giving them his blessing on the day when they were made.
