Lexicon :: Strong's G2062 - herpeton

Then God said, “Let the water swarm with[fn] living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.”

Then God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that crawl, and the wildlife of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so.

God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every creature that crawls on the earth.”

“for all the wildlife of the earth, for every bird of the sky, and for every creature that crawls on the earth ​— ​everything having the breath of life in it ​— ​I have given[fn] every green plant for food.” And it was so.

Then the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I created, off the face of the earth, together with the animals, creatures that crawl, and birds of the sky ​— ​for I regret that I made them.”

“You are also to bring into the ark two of all the living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.

From the animals that are clean, and from the animals that are not clean, and from the birds and every creature that crawls on the ground,

They entered it with all the wildlife according to their kinds, all livestock according to their kinds, all the creatures that crawl on the earth according to their kinds, every flying creature ​— ​all the birds and every winged creature ​— ​according to their kinds.

Every creature perished ​— ​those that crawl on the earth, birds, livestock, wildlife, and those that swarm on the earth, as well as all mankind.

He wiped out every living thing that was on the face of the earth, from mankind to livestock, to creatures that crawl, to the birds of the sky, and they were wiped off the earth. Only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark.

God remembered Noah, as well as all the wildlife and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water began to subside.

“Bring out all the living creatures that are with you ​— ​birds, livestock, those that crawl on the earth ​— ​and they will spread over the earth and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”

All the animals, all the creatures that crawl, and all the flying creatures ​— ​everything that moves on the earth ​— ​came out of the ark by their families.

“Every creature that lives and moves will be food for you; as I gave the green plants, I have given you everything.

“All winged insects that walk on all fours are to be abhorrent to you.

“All other winged insects that have four feet are to be abhorrent to you.

“These creatures that swarm on the ground are unclean for you:

weasels,[fn] mice,

any kind of large lizard,[fn]

“These are unclean for you among all the swarming creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead will be unclean until evening.

“All the creatures that swarm on the earth are abhorrent; they must not be eaten.

“Therefore you are to distinguish the clean animal from the unclean one, and the unclean bird from the clean one. Do not become contaminated by any land animal, bird, or whatever crawls on the ground; I have set these apart as unclean for you.

“or whoever touches any swarming creature that makes him unclean or any person who makes him unclean ​— ​whatever his uncleanness ​— ​

“any creature that crawls on the ground, or any fish in the waters under the earth.

“All winged insects are unclean for you; they may not be eaten.

He spoke about trees, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop growing out of the wall. He also spoke about animals, birds, reptiles, and fish.

Here is the sea, vast and wide,

teeming with creatures beyond number —

living things both large and small.

wild animals and all cattle,

creatures that crawl and flying birds,

Send lambs to the ruler of the land,

from Sela in the desert

to the mountain of Daughter Zion.

“The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, every creature that crawls on the ground, and every human being on the face of the earth will tremble before me. The mountains will be demolished, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground.

I will devastate her vines and fig trees.

She thinks that these are her wages

that her lovers have given her.

I will turn them into a thicket,

and the wild animals will eat them.

On that day I will make a covenant for them

with the wild animals, the birds of the sky,

and the creatures that crawl on the ground.

I will shatter bow, sword,

and weapons of war in the land[fn]

and will enable the people to rest securely.

For this reason the land mourns,

and everyone who lives in it languishes,

along with the wild animals and the birds of the sky;

even the fish of the sea disappear.

You have made mankind

like the fish of the sea,

like marine creatures that have no ruler.
