God Intended for Music to be Under Man's Supervision-part 1
It is possible that the beginnings
of musical knowledge can be traced to Genesis 1:26 where Adam was commanded to
“...have dominion (radah 7287) over
the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth (erets 776), and over every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
Also in verse twenty-eight he is admonished to “replenish the earth
(776) and subdue (kabash 3533)
it.” The words dominion (radah 7287) and subdue (kabash 3533) used in Genesis 1:26 mean
to *subjugate or to conquer. The word
earth (erets 776) used in Genesis
1:26 is the broad term used for the world as opposed to the word earth (adamah, 127) used in Genesis 1:25 which
means the soil. Note that God not only
put the soil under man’s supervision but also the erets i.e. the world around him.
