I. [רָדָה] verb have dominion, rule, dominate (Late Hebrew רָדָה, ᵑ7Jon רָדָא, chastise; Arabic tread, trample; Syriac chastise, also (and so Assyrian radû) go, flow); —
did the author think that even animals were KILLED in the garden? if yes , then does this mean that death existed in the garden before Adam eat from the tree?
