tselem
after his image
A visible representation, likeness, or statue, especially that which is formed to resemble a person, animal, deity, or an abstract entity. The term most commonly refers to a physical or material image shaped as a copy or representation, but may also denote a figurative likeness or counterpart, such as an abstract similarity or resemblance. In certain contexts, it can refer to the human as the visible 'image' of the divine, emphasizing form or outward appearance rather than essence.

as his image
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כְּ + masculine singular noun in construct state with 3rd masculine singular suffix. |
