What was the hierachy of the Chain of Being?

The Chain of Being is a hierarchical structure that categorizes all forms of existence, reflecting a belief in a divinely ordered universe. At the top of the hierarchy are God and celestial beings, followed by angels, humans, animals, plants, and inanimate objects. Each level is seen as possessing a specific degree of perfection and existence, with humans uniquely positioned between the divine and the earthly. This framework emphasizes the interconnectedness and order of all life forms within the cosmos.
