Only very recently have some Christians begun reinterpreting those verses in light of other verses like Genesis 2:15, Leviticus 25:23, and Psalm 24:1 to create the notion of stewardship, but that only demonstrates the questionable value of using such an equivocal collection of ancient texts to justify an ethical philosophy.
