Man » Man having authority over God’s creation
Then God said: Let us make man in our image, in our likeness. Let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth and over all the creatures that move along the ground. God created man in his own image. In the image of God he created him. He created male and female. God blessed them and said to them: Be fruitful and increase in number. Fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and dominate the birds of the air. Have dominion over every living creature that moves on the ground.
God blessed Noah and his sons. He said: Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. All the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air will be filled with fear and dread of you. Every creature that moves along the ground and all the fish of the sea are placed under your control.
what is man that you remember him or the son of man that you take care of him? You made him a little lower than god-like ones (God) (Son of God) (angels). You crowned him with glory and honor. (John 1:18) You made him rule what your hands created. You have put everything under his control: read more.
all the sheep and cattle, the wild animals, the birds, the fish, whatever swims in the currents of the seas.

But a certain witness has given proof, saying: What is man, that you are mindful of him? Or what is the son of man that you take care of him? You made him a little lower than the angels for a little while. (Greek: brachus, short time) (Psalm 8:4, 5) You crowned him with glory and honor, and set him over the works of your hands. You put all things in subjection under his feet. You subjected all things to him and left nothing that is not subject to him. Now we do not see yet all things in subjection to him.
