“27 So God (Elohim, The Great, Mighty, Magistrates, etc. Ones) created man in his own image, in the image of God (Elohim, ….) created he (Elohim, ….) him; male and female created he (Elohim, ….) them.28 And God (Elohim, ….) blessed them, and God (Elohim, ….) said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” Amein, Amein; a first ever given command from our Creator to us.
