Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the Lord, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the Lord your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.
6

And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

7

Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.

8

Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the Lord, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the Lord your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.

9

And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

10

Take heed now; for the Lord hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Dominion Over Creation

This verse focuses on the Israelites' possession and inheritance of a "good land" through obedience to God's commandments, rather than humanity's authority or control over the natural world or living things. The "good land" refers to a specific geographical territory, not the broader concept of "creation" or the "earth" as a whole.

Stewardship of Creation

The verse focuses on obedience to God's commandments as a means to possess and pass on land, not on the care or management of the land itself. The "good land" is presented as a reward and inheritance, not as something to be actively stewarded in the sense of tending or keeping.
