Did you catch the one in Genesis 1, following the common "poetic" pattern of "State important thing; restate important thing: *explain* important thing"...
"So God created man in his own image; in the image of God he created him: Male and female he created them." (Punctuation mine)
Thus confirming that both plurality and gender (or perhaps more generally, difference/diversity between the individual members), are at the heart of how humanity reflects the image of God.
