WWW Chat Bible CommentaryUser-Posted Comments on Genesis 1:26It takes one person to create, hence "let there be light" or "let the earth bring forth trees etc" but it take a MALE and FEMALE to PROcreate, hence "let US create man in our image..." MALE and FEMALE, Elohim created them...I think the creator here had a female consort which is why he had to ask him - honey now let us have children. "God's image" is very ambiguous and pretty much every Christian has a different understanding but if I stick to the text in Genesis, I think Elohim (Male god and Female god) created mankind in their Male and Female image. This will also explain the fact that Elohim is pural, or gods.
