Strong's Lexicon remes: Creeping thing, moving creature Original Word: רֶמֶשׂ Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: remes Pronunciation: reh'-mes Phonetic Spelling: (reh'-mes) Definition: a reptile, any other rapidly moving animal Meaning: The term "remes" refers to a reptile or any other rapidly moving animal. It is often used to describe creatures that move along the ground, including small animals and insects. Word Origin: Derived from the root רָמַשׂ (ramas), which means "to creep" or "to move lightly." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for "remes" in the Septuagint (LXX) is often translated as "ἑρπετόν" (herpeton), which also means a creeping or crawling creature. This term is used in the New Testament, such as in Acts 10:12, where Peter sees a vision of all kinds of animals, including "herpeton," indicating the inclusion of all creatures in God's creation and the breaking down of dietary barriers. Usage: The word "remes" appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote various creeping creatures. It is used in contexts that describe the creation and categorization of animals, emphasizing their movement along the earth. Context: • Occurrences in Scripture: The term "remes" is found in several key passages within the Hebrew Bible. Notably, it appears in Genesis 1:24, where God commands the earth to bring forth living creatures, including "remes" that move along the ground. In Genesis 1:26, humanity is given dominion over "the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every creature that moves on the ground," which includes "remes." This highlights the role of these creatures within the created order and humanity's stewardship over them. • Theological Significance: The use of "remes" underscores the diversity and complexity of God's creation. It reflects the intricate design and purpose of all living creatures, from the smallest insect to larger reptiles. The term also serves to remind readers of the interconnectedness of life and the responsibility humans have in caring for all forms of life. • Cultural Context: In the ancient Near Eastern context, "remes" would have included a wide range of creatures familiar to the people of that time, such as lizards, snakes, and various insects. These creatures were often seen as part of the natural order, with some being considered unclean according to Levitical law (Leviticus 11:29-30).
