“Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:”
The statement that God has made humans to rule over the works of His hands and put all things under their feet establishes human dominion over creation as divinely granted mandate. The reference to hands as work product personifies God's creative activity and establishes creation as intentional divine making rather than accident. The subjection of all things to human feet employs image of conquest and sovereignty, suggesting that humans possess actual authority over creation rather than merely serving as custodians. This verse grounds human environmental authority in divine will, making stewardship an expression of legitimate dominion.
