[Dolhopff, Georg Andreas] · 1681

And GOD said: Let us make man-
kind / an image that is like Us
/ who shall rule over the
fish in the sea / and over the bir-
ds under the heavens / and over
the cattle / and over the entire ear-
th / and over every creeping thing / that
crawls upon the earth.
And GOD created mankind
in His image / in the image
of God He created him / and He
created them a male and
female original: "Männlein und Fräulein"; literally "little man and little lady." In 17th-century German, these diminutive forms were the standard way to translate the biblical "male and female." etc.
