Human beings and animals are portrayed here as complete equals. God sustains them all with the same degree of attentiveness, and divides among them not only the bounty of the earth, but also the food-producing territories and the hours of activity.

In the book of Job, chapters 38 and 39, God also characterized himself as one who cares for all living things and knows their innermost secrets. He even peppered poor Job with a list of questions proving his point:

Can you hunt prey for the lion, and satisfy the appetite of the king of beasts?

Who provides food for the raven, when its young ones cry to God, and wander for lack of food?

Does the eagle soar at your command, and spread its wings toward the south?

Do you know when the mountain goats give birth? Do you mark the calving of the deer?

Who sets the wild donkey free? Who has loosed his bonds?
