-Tselem is typically translated as image, but it is literally the shadow, based on the root word, [[tsel]].
-This word appears in the phrase "in the image of god", in Genesis chapter 1.
-Also chapter 5, 9, and Numbers 33, Ezekiel 7, Amos 5
-However, there are a number of completely different Hebrew words which seem to mean "image".
-Exodus 20 uses a different word;

-Mauro Biglino gives a definition of "cut out" or "cut off", for 'tselem'.(("Descendants of the Gods" lecture on 5th Kind TV)). Rather than "in his image", he compares the cutting out of man from the elohim in Genesis 1:26-27, with the parallel cutting out((typically mistranslated as "rib")) of woman from man in Genesis 2:22.
