Just like Me

This bit in Genesis 1 makes me think of something I know about Genesis 2…

In Genesis 2, when God splits the woman from the man, the man marvels: “bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she is Isha (woman; literally ‘of man’), taken out of Ish (man).”

I think this must have echoed God’s heart in Genesis 1, making us from His image: “Spirit of my Spirit; Life of my Life; this is ha’Adam (the human), made in My Image.”

Adam says “She’s just like me!”
God says “They’re just like me!”

It sounds like adoration to me.
