Genesis 9:3
כָּל רֶמֶשׂ אֲשֶׁר הוּא חַי לָכֶם יִהְיֶה לְ אָכְלָה כְּ יֶרֶק עֵשֶׂב נָתַתִּי לָכֶם אֶת כֹּל
The whole creeper which himself is living-one to-yourselves he is becoming to a food335 like the green grass I have given to you אֶת-the whole.
| 335 | Strong’s #7431, remes. Crawling. From the verb, ramas, to creep, crawl, move lightly, move about. The sense is general and not limited to insects. It is used by the Psalmist of Sea creatures, “This, the Sea, great and broad of hands, There are crawling (remes) things -- innumerable, Living creatures -- small with great.” All animals are crawling creatures. Man and woman are the only upright creatures. Like the green grass I have given you… This refers to Genesis 1:29 where elohim gave all the plants for food. Now all the crawlers are given for food. |
