Then God 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 all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.?” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
God had created things by saying, "Let there be..." or "Let the water.." but when He made man He said, "Let US make man in OUR image, in OUR likeness..."
So God created man in HIS own image.
