Verse 7.— For every kind of beasts and of birds. The apostle here asserts what he knew would readily be admitted, that all kinds of beasts, birds and serpents have been, and are capable of being, tamed or brought into subjection to man. However wild the nature of some of these, yet it is known that the art and ingenuity of man have been successful in their management, and they have been brought into subjection, and, in one way or another, have proven useful to the subduer. They are tamed, at least sufficiently so for man's use.
