Thanks for clarifying.

I believe a proper reading is to see the dominion mandate as still in effect. The arc of Scripture gives testimony to this in various places, including in the New Testament when Christ gives the Great Commission. It is a further layer atop the original dominion mandate, mirroring and building upon the command to be fruitful and multiply.

As mentioned in it, there is a direct economic and domestic connection to dominion. Many words and concepts we use even today to describe aspects of domesticity have overlapping etymological roots with "dominion". Like the word "domestic" itself, and "domain".
