“²⁶ Then ‘God’ [ha-‘Elohiym: the-Magistrates, the-Angels (Messengers, etc.), Judges, etc..] said, “ Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over ^[a]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.²⁷ So ‘God’ [ha-‘Elohiym: the-Magistrates, the-Angels (Messengers, etc.), etc..] created man in ‘His’ [ha-Ga’al: the-Redeemer’s, the-Deliverer’s, etc..] own image; in the image of ‘God’ [ha-‘Elohiym: the-Magistrates, the-Angels (Messengers, etc.), etc..] ‘He’ [ha-‘Iysh: the-Steward, the-Worthy, etc..] created him; male and female ‘He’ [ha-‘Iysh: the-Steward, the-Worthy, etc..] created them. ”

And such is the original word, that the heavenly Government we call G-d, the white bearded man (or invisible power), was originally ‘Elohiym – the Magistrates, the Angels in heaven, a plurality that make up ONE heavenly body – not one figure of a man. Those who are One in purpose and wisdom, who call us to be one in same.

And once again how original words impact man-made imagery (idols) of a creator. Think of it, Magistrates in heaven that made us as them, male and female, that we too may do as them one day. The sum of which is a heavenly body /wisdom intended to work through us here on earth, man and woman who is made in their image and likeness; the wisdom taught by and through the prophets, the messengers, indeed, through the Hebrew YH’shua; and through those who follow.

(See: John 14:12, etc..)

Paraphrasing, “the way, the truth, the life!”; One way, one truth, one life. Amein? Amein!

YHWH (YH) (the ‘I AM’):

The Israelites will want to know who has sent me, and ‘God’ [‘Elohiym] replies with a sentence, “Ehyeh asher ehyeh.” This is a first person sentence that can be translated, “I am who I am”, or perhaps, “I will be who I will be,”..
