\nWhat is man that you take thought of him,
\nAnd the son of man that You care for him?
\nYet You have made him a little lower than God,
\nAnd You crown him with glory and majesty!
\nYou make him to rule over the works of Your hands;
\nYou have put all things under his feet,
\nAll sheep and oxen,
\nAnd also the beasts of the field,
\nThe birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
\nWhatever passes through the paths of the seas.<\/blockquote>\n“Man” could refer to mankind since men were tasked with caring for God’s creation (Genesis 1:28; Psalms 144:3). But it also refers to Jesus as the Hebrew writer applies it in Hebrews 2:6-9. This is because Jesus took on human form. “The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven<\/i>” (I Corinthians 15:47).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrior Lesson\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHebrew Poetry\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
