In Genesis 1:28, God commands humanity to "subdue" the earth, indicating a positive sense of stewardship and control over creation. This usage underscores the human responsibility to manage and care for the world. • In Numbers 32:22, the term is used in the context of military conquest, where the Israelites are instructed to subdue the land before settling in it. This reflects the term's association with victory and domination over enemies. • The negative connotation of כָּבַשׁ is evident in Micah 7:19, where God is described as treading down iniquities, symbolizing the disregard and overcoming of sin. • The verb also appears in contexts of violation or oppression, as seen in Esther 7:8, where it is used to describe the act of violating the queen, highlighting the term's potential for describing acts of violence or disrespect.
