Sheep and oxen were central to the agrarian economy of ancient Israel, providing wool, milk, meat, and labor. The mention of these animals underscores the responsibility and stewardship humans have over creation. In a broader theological context, this dominion is a type of Christ's ultimate authority over all creation, as seen in passages like <a href="/colossians/1-16.htm">Colossians 1:16-17</a>, where Christ is described as the one through whom all things were created and are sustained.<p><b>and even the beasts of the field</b><br>This phrase extends the scope of human dominion to include wild animals, not just domesticated ones. The "beasts of the field" represent the untamed aspects of creation, emphasizing the comprehensive nature of the authority granted to humanity. This dominion is a reflection of God's sovereignty, as humans are made in His image. The phrase also connects to the peaceable kingdom imagery in <a href="/isaiah/11-6.htm">Isaiah 11:6-9</a>, where harmony is restored among all creatures, pointing to the eschatological hope of a renewed creation under Christ's reign. Historically, the relationship between humans and wild animals was significant for survival and cultural development, as seen in the practices of hunting and animal husbandry in ancient societies.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/8.htm">Psalm 8</a>, traditionally believed to be King David, who was a shepherd before becoming king.
