uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

וַ⁠יִּבְרָ֨א אֱלֹהִ֤ים

and=he/it_created ʼₑlhīmv

In this verse God does what he said he was going to do (verse 26). Make sure your translation does not sound like God created mankind twice. Also see how you translated created in verses 1 and 21. Alternate translation: “So God made”

Note 2 topic: translate-key-terms

אֶת הָֽ⁠אָדָם֙

DOM the=humankind

Be consistent here with how you translated this term in verse 26. Alternate translation: “mankind”

בְּ⁠צַלְמ֔⁠וֹ

in=his/its=image

God made mankind to be like himself in some ways (not all ways) and to represent him in the world and show people what he is like. For example, God gave human beings an eternal spirit and the ability to have a relationship with him. He also gave us emotions, an understanding of right and wrong, and the ability to reason and make choices, to create new things and to have authority over the rest of creation. You could include some of that information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “in his own image.” or “to be similar to himself in many ways.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

בְּ⁠צֶ֥לֶם אֱלֹהִ֖ים בָּרָ֣א אֹת֑⁠וֹ

in=(the)_image ʼₑlhīmv he/it_created DOM=him/it

The pronoun him refers to the collective noun man, which in this case refers to human beings in general, not just one person. Also, this clause is the second half of a chiasm (an inverted parallelism) that repeats the first part of verse 27 in reverse order, to emphasize that it was in God’s image that human beings were created. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “Yes he made them in his image” or “Indeed he created them to be like himself” or “Yes, God made them to be similar to himself in many ways”

זָכָ֥ר וּ⁠נְקֵבָ֖ה בָּרָ֥א אֹתָֽ⁠ם

male and=female he/it_created DOM=them

The phrase male and female comes first in the Hebrew text in order to emphasize it. Do what is accurate and natural in your language. Also make sure your translation of this verse does not sound like God is both male and female. Alternate translation: “He also made them to be male or female.”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:27 The first poetry of Genesis reflectively celebrates God’s climactic feat in creating humankind.
• human beings: This term (Hebrew ha-’adam, “the man”) is often used to denote humanity collectively (see 6:1, 5-7; 9:5-6). Though traditionally translated “man,” gender is not at issue here; both male and female are included.
