5 Bible Verses about Man's Dominion

Then God said, “Let Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image, according to Our likeness [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness]; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth.”

The fear and the terror of you shall be [instinctive] in every animal of the land and in every bird of the air; and together with everything that moves on the ground, and with all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hand.

You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,

You have put all things in subjection under his feet [confirming his supremacy].”

For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and sea creatures, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race.
