Also, humans are not to rule animals. Our responsibility is to care for the earth and guard, protect, guide, etc. the creatures in it, including the whales, the wild birds, etc. I’d like to see any person try to rule over an animal not their pet. <> The verb translated “rule” is not the same verb translated “rule” in Gen. 3:16. We are not to dominate anyone, even the creatures of the earth.

In 3:16 we have God warning Eve of the future changes to their relationship being that in response to her turning toward and yearning for her man, he would harshly dominate her.
