Of the plants and animals, God identifies them in this manner in Genesis 1:
v11 "according to their kinds."
v12: "according to their kinds," twice.
v21: "according to their kinds," twice.
v24: "according to their kinds," twice.
v25: "according to their kinds," three times.
But of us, His beloved and cherished creation, God identifies us this way:
v26: "IN OUR IMAGE, OUR LIKENESS."
v27 "IN HIS IMAGE, THE IMAGE OF GOD."
