as the likeness of

Root	דמה (d-m-h)
Core Meanings	to be like, resemble, compare, liken, imagine
Semantic Range	likeness, resemblance, form, shape, pattern, model, representation, manner of
Conceptual Significance	דְּמוּת plays a key role in biblical theology of representation and resemblance, notably in humanity created "in the likeness" of Elohim (Genesis 1:26). It conveys both similarity and distinction, expressing analogical correspondence without implying identity.
Morphological Notes	Noun common feminine singular construct with prefixed preposition כ ("as, according to"). The construct state indicates a genitive relationship: "likeness of …".
Rendering Rationale	The noun דְּמוּת (feminine singular construct) derives from the root דמה, expressing resemblance or comparison. The prefixed כִּי/כְּ (“as, according to”) plus the construct form requires the rendering "as the likeness of," preserving both the comparative force of the preposition and the singular feminine construct relationship to what follows.
