Thematic Bible: Man having authority over God’s creation


Thematic Bible



And God will say, We will make man in our image according to our likeness, and they shall rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and every. creeping thing creeping upon the earth. And God will form man in his image, in the image of God he formed him; male and female he formed them. And God will praise them, and God will say to them, be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing creeping upon the earth.

And God will praise Noah and his sons, and will say to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. And the fear of you, and the dread of you, shall be upon every living thing of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens, upon every thing which shall creep along the earth and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand they were given.

What is man that thou wilt remember him? and the son of man that thou wilt review him? And thou wilt diminish him a little more than the messengers, and thou wilt surround him with glory and honor. And thou wilt give him dominion over the works of thy hands; thou didst put all under his feet: read more.
Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the cattle of the field; And the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, passing through the paths of the seas.

And somewhere a certain one testified, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him? or the son of man, that thou reviewest him? Thou didst render him some little while less than angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst place him over the work of thine hands: All things didst thou place under his feet. For in placing all things under him, thou didst leave nothing not subjected to him. And now we see not yet all things placed under him.
