Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness:
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air,
and over the cattle,
and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them.

stand at the tabernacle door:
and all the people rose up and worshipped,
every man in his tent door.

a young man,
departed not out of the tabernacle.

Thou canst not see my face:

and thou shalt see my back parts:
but my face shall not be seen.
