Strong's Lexicon remes: Creeping thing, moving creature Original Word: רֶמֶשׂ Word Origin: Derived from the root רָמַשׂ (ramas), meaning "to creep" or "to move lightly." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "remes" is ἑρπετόν (herpeton), Strong's Greek #2062, which also refers to creeping or crawling creatures. Usage: The term "remes" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to small animals that move along the ground, often translated as "creeping things" or "moving creatures." It encompasses a variety of creatures, including insects, reptiles, and other small animals that exhibit a creeping or crawling motion. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the classification of animals was often based on their mode of movement. "Remes" is a category that includes creatures that do not walk on legs like larger animals but instead move close to the ground. These creatures were part of the broader ecosystem and were recognized in the biblical creation narrative as part of God's creative work. In the cultural context of ancient Israel, these animals were often seen as less significant compared to larger animals but were still acknowledged as part of God's creation.
