Genesis 1:26. God said. Let man have dominion over every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth.
And the meaning of dominion? Lordship; sovereignty; control. (Oxford Dictionary)
Here, the editors/translators of the Bible seem out to sanctify their future business empires.
I cannot see how a compassionate kind of God would have used the word dominion.
If I were a holy man representing the true God, I would ask Genesis 1:26. to be rewritten with more of God's compassion.
"Let human be family to every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth."
