These terms are used in the New Testament to convey similar ideas of resemblance and representation, particularly in the context of Christ being the image of God and believers being conformed to His likeness.

Context: • The term דִּמְיוֹן appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts where a comparison or likeness is being drawn.
