Core Textרַב יְהוּדָה רָמֵי: כְּתִיב בְּצֶלֶם אֱלֹהִים בָּרָא אוֹתוֹ, וּכְתִיב זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה בָּרָא אֹתָם. הָא כֵּיצַד? בַּתְּחִלָּה עָלָה בְּמַחֲשָׁבָה לִבְרֹא שְׁנַיִם, וּלְבַסּוֹף נִבְרָא אֶחָד.
English: Rav Yehudah raised a contradiction: It is written “in the image of God He created him,” and it is written “male and female He created them.” How is this? At first it arose in thought to create two, and in the end one was created.
