Subdue, Dominion and Rule. 3 words , 3 different meanings.
| Contents: | Reasoning | Real life Application | against atheists |
In Genesis 1 God created blessed Good creations, and in making Adam and Eve, she and he has the ‘duty’ expressed briefly to all generations in Genesis 1:28 KJV
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.The KJV is controlled by God that I believe and know, and modern translations after world war 2 and before the internet thought humans are stupid. In those 666-era translations we can’t find a difference in the words “dominion” and “rule” that we shall look at closely.
http://biblehub.com/text/genesis/1-28.htm
| 3533 [e] | וְכִבְשֻׁ֑הָ | wə-ḵiḇ-šu-hā; | and subdue it |
| 7287 [e] | וּרְד֞וּ | ū-rə-ḏū | and have dominion |
The English Language clearly translates those Hebrew words into “subdue” and “dominion”.
The Hebrew concordance (verses which use the same word) will provide an understanding of the ancient view of that word.
Subdue it is clear, it means to bring under your control.(1 biblehub/hebrew/lichbosh ) In English subdue might mean to beat down or destroy. But in Hebrew the word is used with children (2 biblehub/hebrew/choeshim) and nations,(3 biblehub/hebrew/kibbesh) to subjugate and control.
Dominion in English means a 3d area which is owned, but in Hebrew, the root word is to “harvest/work” and a fairer version of holding captive.Consider Isaiah 14:2 - Where previously the “Oppressor” had enslaved the slaves. Now the liberated slaves have ‘dominion’ over the former-oppressors.
This means that if the person has a ‘dominion’ then the creatures are included in that dominion, they are recognized and given their space as wild creatures and distance for one’s own safety.
Let's look at Israel for a second, if Germany kept the Jews in captivity, and then the Jews who survived world war 2 started up Israel, then the role-reversal which we can read, means that Germany gets turned enslaved. Clearly that's not what happened, rather, Israel watches carefully at every little Jew-related action that they all do, and report atleast to us, when the anti-semitism occurs.
The modern 666 versions interchange “rule”, but “rule” is used in KJV Genesis 1-18 as a third and distinct word with a particular meaning.
| 4910 [e] | וְלִמְשֹׁל֙ | wə-lim-šōl | and to rule |
Here the word “rule” in English used properly reflects the Hebrew meaning of “use the Judge’s wisdom to adjudicate and distinguish between sorts”.
The key to understanding the word is the word “Sceptre” which is what the judge holds and the king holds. To rule is to apply the various governmental laws and morals. (from Proverbs 13-24)
In Genesis 1:18, the sun’s presence in your sight, is the sign that it is day, the sun ‘demarcates ‘ the days and nights. So by the sun’s ruling the day and night, we know when it is night, and when it is day. The moon’s presence in your skies, is a sign of the months. The moon demarcated the months, so if the moon is full then it is the start of a 28-day lunar month. By the moon’s ruling, we know what time of month it is. We know when high-tide is and when low tide is, the moon rules over the tides. The sun defines the ‘declarations and definitions’ for the subject which is rules over. One part is rejectible and the other part is distinguished.
Let’s view this word “rule” in terms of Genesis 3.
Recalling that the fall of Adam is the reason for the curses of planet earth, and the necessity for Abraham to Jesus and Christianity, the whole story of Israel as redeeming humanity and trying to save creation. (five pairs of blessings and curses verses. ) Between the curse of the Snake and the curse of Adam is the pronouncement to Eve in Genesis 3-16 where Eve is punished by her offspring and by her man.
| 4910 [e] | יִמְשָׁל־ | yim-šāl- | shall rule |
We see the culmination of the divide between men and women in Genesis 6 who caused the flood of Noah (God’s attempt to save creation away from humans.) The male dominated creatures asserted that a single male as worth many females (polygamous ), and the males were sons of God, who are above the females the daughters of humanity.
So how does a man ‘rule’ over a woman? Well a man judges which woman out of a group of women is beautiful and worthy of procreation (beauty paegents). The male-dominated species even invented corsets to change the bodily shape of their local women. In English, the woman is named such because she is a man with a womb. If we look at nations, they are originally concocted and named by males who established their borders. In the male-dominated wars of even feudal era, even world war 2, the conquering armies ‘arrested women as belongings and raped them’ and the borders of the new nation were defined by the males, even though the population consisted of males and females.
A summary of males ruling over women :
*) definition of one’s self is defined by the other .
*) a female’s definition of nationality is defined by male (females are enfranchised by law into the male society)
*) changing of self with technology is forced upon by the other.
*) The “selection of the fittest” is imposed upon the women by men, rather than the other way around and done by superficial environmental factors.
Compare this with Abraham and Sarah.
*) Abraham and Sarah have the same Father so they are physically the same (for Jews who believe Sarah is the niece “Iskah” of Abraham, then same Ancestor)
*) Sarah’s name indicates her royalty (princess) in the same sense as Israel is prince of God. (not necessarily royal). And Abraham name indicates the Father of multitudes.
*) Males impose circumcision bodily-mutilation upon themselves
*) the desire to breed is based on nearest opportunity if not otherwise strictly within the monogamous Christian-style marriage exhibited by Isaac and Rebekah.
So consider animal husbandry (tending) in view of Genesis 1-28 aspects and the modern wrong view about “rule”.
| Styles | “Subdue and have Dominion” | “Rule over” |
| Selection for breeding. | Animals choose their own mates. | Animals are selected by traits desired by human lucre. |
| Humans control the animals. |
, and humans keep animals within reason so that animals are not the threat, and that animals are not in control of humans. They aren’t lived with next to in relationship As the former slaves (humans) are not far but separate and free from former-masters.(animals) | Humans intimately distinguish between animal and animal for various reasons. Humans give animals laws, rather than humans giving other humans laws about animals. |
| Animal behaviourism. | Animals and trees have souls specific to them according to Saint Thomas, which also happens to agree with the mathematical dimensional view of the creations in Genesis 1. Trees have vegetative souls, animals have vegetative and sensitive souls. Humans have vegetative, sensitive and rational souls. | Animals are chemical reactions akin to biomechanical clockwork. or animals are just like humans. |
| Habitat. | Animals live in their natural environment | Animals live in farms their whole life. |
Industry and Evolution's theory.
The main clincher for T.o.E is that for a 'fit' specimen to survive, it must procreate.
This means that fecundity is the main driver of scientific understanding of life and animal behaviour.
But for the Christians, God made Jesus without human-father (at last generation of Mosaic Temple). So fecundity is so frowned upon (Even in Moses' day (1450 BC) the descendants of an illegitimate child couldn't enter the nation for 10 generations(deuteronomy 23).). Husband and Wife become one bodily unit and that's how we defeat the illegitimate devils.
It seems reasonable that human enterprise seeks quantity over quality, so that domesticated animals differ from wild animals , mainly on issues of fecundity.
So i found this Sermon, https://biblehub.com/serm…/…/gaussen/fecundity_of_fishes.htm
Of those fishes (multiple species) listed Carp is the only domesticated fish, with the recognition of being -=the oldest domesticated fish species in human history. =-
Fecundity in fish is measured by number of oocytes in the ovaries. (gravimetric method = oocytes per gram)
I verified those egg counts for various species.
and it seems on appearance of numbers concerning "fecundity measures " that i am wrong.
But then i looked at the age of sexual-Maturation of those stated fishes.
the Carp is mature age 1 ( researchcommons.waikato.ac.nz/…/Hicks%20-%20Age%20compositi…)
The Atlantic Herring matures at age 2 to 4 years (and reproduces annual for 25 years)
(https://academic.oup.com/icesjms/article/66/8/1800/674659)
Cod 's age was too hard to find, (here they estimate age based on size https://portal.nifa.usda.gov/…/0197692-fecundity-and-egg-si…)
Flounder's age was 2 years (https://bioone.org/…/Hist…/10.1080/19425120.2012.717524.full)
Tench's minimum age of maturation is 4 years (http://www.fisheriessciences.com/…/age-and-reproduction-fea…)
Smelt matured at 3 years before human intervention (now 1) (https://hmr.biomedcentral.com/art…/10.1186/s10152-017-0487-x)
Of those links the interesting links are on Smelt and Herring.
By reaching maturity earlier , there are more fish to reproduce, less predator-encounter possibilities.
so the species which Humans use for industry (carp) are different than wild varieties in terms of reproducing more and reaching maturity size faster.
isn't this why secular tax-producing science supports Evolution and industry?
to justify changing the entire world-population of a species in the name of industry. (as part of natural history)
See: Jacob in Genesis, whom atheists say is an example of Evolution in the Holy Bible, Jacob may have produced speckled goats, but he didn't kill the non-speckled animals .
And to anticipate how humans can 'guide' the evolution of future animals. (if the reason is efficiency, be it economically, ecologically, physically, etc)
If you read this far, Look at how Farmed Salmon are reproduced, the female salm with her "x" chromosome, is pumped with male hormones to make her produce sperm (%100 female progeny). Because Salmon females mature 1 year earlier than male Salom.
example of Dominion
Psalms 114:2
KJV
Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
here you can see Judah was one of the 12 tribes of Israel, but Judah protected the Ark of the Covenant and the Temple. So the Sanctuary was i Judah, but the 11 tribes (who did war with Judah occassionaly) were in the dominion.
carefully watched out for, and acknowledged.
