This word subdue is intriguing. In Hebrew it’s kabash, where we get the saying, “Put the kibosh on it!”11 (Come on, that’s cool.) It can mean to exploit or enslave or abuse or even to rape. But it can also mean to tame something that’s wild, to bring order out of chaos, to bring harmony out of discord. Once again, it’s king and queen language.
