So, today we walked through the beginning of Genesis. 

We read it aloud in groups, day by day, like the poem that it was in the Hebrew text...

I was stumbling over "subdue". 

It is such a powerful word.  A word that creates an image of conquering, dominating, wiping out.  At least in my mind.

I kept thinking, "That surely can't mean that."

Then Pastory Bob started discussing how in Hebrew "dominion over" really could have meant "dominion among" or "dominion with" because adverbs were a bit different than in English.  So, it might have translated a bit odd.  That still doesn't take away "subdue".

I don't really want to subdue anything.  I just want to wake-up, work well, and live a good life. 

Hmmm... I'll be thinking about this one for a few days.
