Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
An apparent contradiction in the text?
It describes man being made ‘lower’ than the angels yet in the next sentence describes everything (including angels) in subjection to man? Robin Bullock here attributes this to meaning man was made from a ‘lower’ place deep within God.
