1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 

2 male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: 

וַיְחִי אָדָם שְׁלֹשִׁים וּמְאַת שָׁנָה וַיּוֹלֶד בִּדְמוּתוֹ כְּצַלְמוֹ וַיִּקְרָא אֶת־שְׁמוֹ שֵׁת
And Adam lived thirty and one hundred years and begat in his likeness as his image and called his name Seth

Another valid translation of ‘his image’ can be ‘his idea’

“Begetter” means the one who begets or brings into existence. In this context, “their begetter” can imply that Adam was the creator or parent of other beings or entities.
