Thematic Bible: Who was given dominion over the earth

And God said - Let us make man in our image after our likeness - and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the bird of the heavens and over the tame-beast - and over all the land, and over every creeping thing, that creepeth on the land. And God created the man in his own image, In the image of God, created he him, - Male and female, created he, them. And God blessed them, and God said to them Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, - and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth on the land.

What was weak man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? or the son of the earthborn, that thou shouldst set him in charge? That thou shouldst make him little less than messengers of God, with glory and honour, shouldst crown him? Shouldst give him dominion over the works of thy hands, - All things, shouldst have put under his feet: read more.
Sheep and oxen, all of them, - yea even the beasts of the field; The bird of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, - the passer-by on the paths of the seas? O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth.

As for the heavens, the heavens, belong to Yahweh, but the earth, hath he given to the sons of men.
