GEN53 [The Tanakh’s] first statements about humankind confer upon them great dignity and worth, as humans are “created in God’s image” [this verse] formed by God’s hands, and animated by His breath (Genesis 2:7). Thus humans have a correspondence to God that other creatures lack. (By Elaine Adler Goodfriend, “Ethical Theory and Practice in the Hebrew Bible) OXFORD 44
