Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israelite culture, proverbs and parables were common methods of teaching and conveying wisdom. They were used by sages, prophets, and leaders to instruct the people in the ways of God and righteous living. The concept of ruling or having dominion is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, beginning with God's command to humanity in Genesis to have dominion over the earth.
