Where better to start our search than "in the beginning". Most of these scriptures are pointed out in reference to Voddie Baucham "Speaking on Manhood" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fx86u7o1k-Q) and to Dr. Tony Evans "Returning to Biblical Manhood" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt3BAZrvheA)
Scriptures that give man a purpose or command.
Gen 2:7 God creates the first man.
Gen 1:26-28 Man is created to "bear" God's image, not simply visually, but characteristically. God told man to have dominion and subdue the earth, to be fruitful and multiply.

What is man's primary "order of operation" from the day he was created?
What was man's "earthly" mission at this time of the text?
