Strong's Lexicon ramas: To creep, move lightly, glide Original Word: רָמַס Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "ramas," the concept of creeping or crawling creatures can be found in the Greek word "ἑρπετόν" (herpeton), Strong's Greek #2062, which also refers to reptiles or creeping things. Usage: The Hebrew verb "ramas" primarily means to creep or move lightly, often used to describe the movement of creatures that glide or crawl along the ground. It conveys the idea of a subtle, gentle motion, typically associated with small animals or insects. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "ramas" would have been familiar to those living in agrarian societies, where observing the natural world was part of daily life. The movement of creeping creatures was a common sight, and such creatures were often seen as part of God's creation, fulfilling their role in the ecosystem. The term is used in the context of God's creative order, emphasizing the diversity and complexity of life.
