Thanks Jefe, I found the mistake - misspelled author’s name.

THE TEUCHTER ABRIDGED BIBLE:

In the beginning was the word, and the word was God.

26 Then man said, “Let us make God in our image, in our likeness, and let him let us rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So man created God in his own image,
in the image of man he created him;
male and female they created him.
