Netziv (Bereishis 1:27)In the image of G-d All of nature
in its entirety was included with in him. From the moment that it occurred in
thought and speech that Nature should be that way G-d was called Elokim i.e the
G-d of Nature. And since all Nature was included in man he was thus in the
image of Elokim. But this is only true for the elevated man as he was before
the Sin. And afterwards male and female
He created them This verse is not saying
that gender was different in man from the other species so this teaches us that they were in fact two creatures as I
will explain later and since the male of the human species is not comparable to
the female as it states in Koheles(7:28)
I found one man out of a thousand but
not among woman. In other words the elevated man is like one who is in the
image of G-d and that is one man out of a thousand. In contrast amongst women, they are like the second man who has the name of man but not the spiritual
level
