Footnotes

  1. 15 Heb “you cause [i.e., “permit, allow”] him to rule over the works of your hands.”
  2. 16 The perfect verbal form probably has a present perfect nuance here. It refers to the continuing effects of God’s original mandate (see Gen 1:26–30).
  3. 17 Heb “under his feet.” Placed everything under their authority. This verse affirms that mankind rules over God’s creation as his vice-regent. See Gen 1:26–30.
