Senses
1. image, form, likeness — A masculine singular noun (tselem) meaning 'image', 'form', or 'likeness', used for physical statues/idols (Dan 2-3 Nebuchadnezzar's statue), the image of God in humanity (Gen 1:26-27, 5:3, 9:6), and outward appearance or form (Ps 39:7, 73:20). S130129 covers the majority of occurrences including both idol-statues and the imago Dei, while S130133 (1x) uses the construct with waw to denote 'expression/form of' — still the same core meaning of visible likeness or representation.
