Ones sees that in God's image, Adam is given the first divine blessing of mankind and so Adam is given authority over the world (Genesis 1:26) to subdue it and reign over the world, to name and define the functionality of it's animal inhabitants under God's supervision and participation (Genesis 2:19-20), and exercise authority over Eve herself in the decree (Genesis 2:23-24) as the fundamental and subsequent definitive nature of human interrelationships between man and woman, husband and wife, is established for the course of human history.

In this third assertion concerning the primary means of human gender interrelationship in Genesis 2:23-24, in Adam's soul being bound to Eve's soul, God is mirroring his ultimate relationship between himself and living humanity in that God in his spirit will be joined to the souls of his people. It is further reiterated proximately some 4000 years latter by Jesus Christ in Luke 5:34 and also John the Baptist in John3:27-29. In this analogy God is simultaneously authoritative and masculine as Adam is being made in God's image, and that God's people, God's bride, they are metaphorically feminine and under Gods authority and this is symbolic of Eve being under Adam's authority as Adam exercised authority in God's providence as an image barer of God before the fall of mankind to define Eve's functionality in her humanity.

If it is as has been asserted that woman is made in the image of God, than it mars the character of God as it has been ascribed to him in the Holy Bible. The assertion portrays that the God of the Bible is an arbitrary God, which is direct contradiction with what the span of the Bible clearly indicates that in his omniscience the Judea-Christian God is a thoughtful, detailed, and methodical being, not an arbitrary being who creates arbitrarily and whose consequences and repercussions are arbitrary and independent of logic, nature, and reality. Therefore, according to the Holy Bible and sound reasoning drawn from it, woman was not created in nor does she bare the image of God in her humanity nor is she thereby granted such God given and predetermined authority by God in her persons to reign in the earth as does man. Even 2 thousand years after the time of Messiah, the ordinances of Genesis have not vanished (Mathew 5:18).

Furthermore, Hebrews has a reinforcement of the image of God, as yet further proof that men inherit the image of God through their paternal earthly sires.

Hebrews 7:10 - “For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.” (Referring to Levi)

The passage of Hebrews 7:10 is encountered as the orator of Hebrews is touching on the the nature of the Order of the priesthood of Melchisedec. It contains the tangential point that precedence is ascribed to the male gender of humanity in man's anatomy in the inheritance of human creation which supports Genesis 5:3 in affirming the precident of the Image of God upon the male gender of humanity through inheritance. It is rather self explanatory.
