《Created in God’s image》
※Two Adams
There is an essential difference between the two versions of the creation of man. In chapter 1 man is created “in God’s own image” (Gen. 1:27), however in chapter 2 Adam is, "formed… of the dust of the ground" (Gen. 2:7). As a result of this difference, one can easily surmise that we have two different Adams here—one created in chapter one, and another created in chapter two.
聖經談及人類創造的兩個說明之間有本質的區別。
在第一章中，人是「按照神自己的形像被創造的」（創世記1:27），而在第二章中，亞當是「由……塵土形成的」（創世記2:7）。 由於這種差異，一個人可以輕易地推測出我們在這裡有兩個不同的亞當...一個在第一章中被造，另一個在第二章中被造。
※The same word
**In Genesis 1, God’s word is the main part of the whole creative process: God gives names to the things, and thus calls them into existence.
在創世記1章中，上帝的話語是整個創造過程的主要部分:上帝給事物起名字，他們因有名字而存在。

創1:5神稱光為「晝」，稱暗為「夜」。
Gen.1: 5 And God called וַיִּקְרָ֨א 7121 the light Day, and the darkness he called קָ֣רָא 7121 Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

**In this light, it is extremely significant that the very first thing we see Adam doing in Genesis 2, is giving names to all the animals (Gen. 2:19, 20).
因此，非常重要的是我們在創世記第二章中看到亞當所做的第一件事就是給所有動物起名字（創世記2:19，20）。

創2:19耶和華神用土所造成的野地各樣走獸和空中各樣飛鳥都帶到那人面前，看他叫什麼。那人怎樣叫各樣的活物，那就是他的名字。20那人便給一切牲畜和空中飛鳥、野地走獸都起了名；只是那人沒有遇見配偶幫助他。
2:19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call יִקְרָא them: and whatsoever Adam called יִקְרָא every living creature, that was the name thereof. (Adam: or, the man)

קָרָא 7121
קרא qârâ kaw-raw
A primitive root (rather identical with 7122 through the idea of accosting a person met); to call out to (that is, properly address by name, but used in a wide variety of applications)
7122 קרא
קרא qârâ kaw-raw
1. to encounter, befall, meet
c. (Hiphil) to cause to meet

**The same very word that refers to God in Genesis, VaYikra (ויקרא), here refers to Adam “and he called”.
在創世記中提到神稱呼祂的創造，與亞當的「稱呼」 (and he called יִקְרָא) 活物，用同一個詞VaYikra（ויקרא）。
※Understand the Bible on a deeper level
This testimony of Adam’s very first action in chapter two is crucial. The first thing Adam did was actually to replicate God’s action, which means that we still see the same Adam of chapter one: created in God’s image and according to His likeness.
亞當在第二章中所採取的第一個行動的見證至關重要。亞當所做的第一件事實際上是像第一章神用話創造，這意味著我們仍然看到第一章中的亞當：按照神的形像隨己意創造。
