How did God create man?

After God had made all other creatures, he created man male and female;^a formed the body of the man of the dust of the ground,^b and the woman of the rib of the man,^c endued them with living, reasonable, and immortal souls;^d made them after his own image,^e in knowledge,^f righteousness,and holiness;^g having the law of God written in their hearts,^h and power to fulfill it,ⁱ and dominion over the creatures;^j yet subject to fall.^k
