¹¹ Who gives us more knowledge than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heaven?

¹² Happy is the man who is guided by you, O Jah, and to whom you give teaching out of your law;

²² Truly God is lifted up in strength; who is a ruler like him?

²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, like us: and let him have rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every living thing which goes flat on the earth.

⁷ And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.

⁸ But truly it is the spirit in man, even the breath of the Ruler of all, which gives them knowledge.
