Genesis 1:26

And he is saying elohim, a red-one was made within the shadow-phantom of ourselves,43 according to our figure,44 and they have descended45 in a fish46 of the Sea, and in a flying-one of the Dual-Heavenly-ones, and in the behemah, and in the whole of the Earth, and in the whole of the Gliding-one the Gliding-one47 upon the Earth.

Hebrew הָרֶ֖מֶשׂ הָֽרֹמֵ֥שׂ ha-remes ha-romes. Masculine singular + masculine participle verb with definite articles. The Crawling Crawler. The Law gives a few unidentified variations of a definitive masculine creature “over the Earth” that play on the same words:

  • הָרֶ֖מֶשׂ הָֽרֹמֵ֥שׂ Crawling Crawler (Gen. 1:26)

  • הַשֶּׁ֖רֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵ֣ץ Creeping Creeper (Gen. 7:21)

  • הַשֶּׁ֖רֶץ הָרֹמֵ֥שׂ Creeping Crawler (Lev. 11:44)
