¹¹ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens?

¹² Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law;

²² Behold, God doeth loftily in his power: Who is a teacher like unto him?

²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

⁷ And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

⁸ But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
