Genesis 1:21

וַ יִּבְרָא אֶלֹהִים אֶת הַ תַּנִּינִם הַ גְּדֹלִים וְ אֵת כָּל נֶפֶשׁ הַ חַיָּה הָ רֹמֶשֶׂת אֲשֶׁר שָׁרְצוּ הַ מַּיִם לְ מִינֵהֶם וְ אֵת כָּל עֹוף כָּנָף לְ מִינֵהוּ וַ יַּרְא אֶלֹהִים כִּי טֹוב

And elohim is cutting-out אֶת-the Great Tannanim37 and אֶת-the whole of the Breath of the Living-0ne, the One-who-crawls, whom has creeped the Dual-Waters38 to-from-them, and אֶת-the whole of a flying-one of an extremity,39 to-from-him, and elohim is seeing who is good one.


38

Hebrew ha-hayah ha-romeset. Feminine noun/adj + feminine singular verb participle with definite articles. From Strong’s #7430 ramas, creep, crawl, move lightly. This crawling life which creeps the dual-waters seems to indicate a creature that is both in the water and on the land, a hybrid, a mix of the two worlds. Psalm 105:30 says, “Creeped hath their land with frogs, In the inner chambers of their king” which speaks of the plague in Exodus, “and the River hath creeped with frogs, and they have gone up and gone into your house, and into the inner-chamber of your bed, and on your couch…” Exodus 8:3 YLT.
