“This one at last 2 is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
this one will be called 3 ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of 4 man.” 5
1:26 Then God said, “Let us make 6
humankind 7 in our image, after our likeness, 8 so they may rule 9 over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth, 10 and over all the creatures that move 11 on the earth.”
1:28 God blessed 12 them and said 13 to them, “Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the earth and subdue it! 14 Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground.” 15
8:4 Of what importance is the human race, 19 that you should notice 20 them?
Of what importance is mankind, 21 that you should pay attention to them, 22
8:5 and make them a little less than the heavenly beings? 23
You grant mankind 24 honor and majesty; 25
8:6 you appoint them to rule over your creation; 26
you have placed 27 everything under their authority, 28
8:7 including all the sheep and cattle,
as well as the wild animals, 29
8:8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea
and everything that moves through the currents 30 of the seas.
