as well as the wild animals, 4
[8:6] 1 tn Heb “you cause [i.e., “permit, allow”] him to rule over the works of your hands.”
[8:6] 2 tn 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).
[8:6] 3 tn Heb “under his feet.”
[8:7] 4 tn Heb “and also the beasts of the field.”
