Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G2795 (κινέω, kineo), which means to move or set in motion. While not a direct translation, G2795 captures the essence of movement, similar to the Hebrew רָמַשׂ (ramas), in the context of creatures or objects being set in motion. Usage: The verb רָמַשׂ (ramas) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the movement of creatures that glide, crawl, or swarm. It often refers to the motion of small animals, insects, or reptiles that move close to the ground. Context: רָמַשׂ (ramas) is a Hebrew verb that conveys the idea of movement that is close to the ground, often associated with creatures that crawl or swarm. This term is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures to describe the natural behavior of certain animals. For instance, in Genesis 1:21, the term is used to describe the swarming creatures that God created in the waters: "So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters swarmed, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good."
