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.
