(, she’rets, any swarming creature; or , re’mes, any low-gliding animal; ) is used in Scripture to designate not only reptiles, properly so called, but also insects, aquatic creatures, and even the smaller mammalia. SEE REPTILE.<\/p>\n
kreping (, remes, , sherec; , herpeton): Remes and sherec, with the root verbs ramas and sharac, are used without any sharp distinction for insects and other small creatures. Ramas means clearly to creep, and is used even of the beasts of the forest (Psa 104:20), while sharac is rather to swarm. But in at least one passage (Lev 11:44), we have the noun, sherec, with the verb ramas; with any manner of creeping thing that moveth upon the earth. The principal passages where these words occur are the accounts of the Creation and the Flood and the references to unclean animals in Lev and in the vision of Peter. In the last we have the word herpeton as the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew words (Act 10:12). Winged creeping things (sherec ha-oph, Lev 11:20), as well as the wingless, are unclean, but an exception is made in favor of the locusts, which have legs above their feet, where-with to leap upon the earth. See INSECTS; LOCUST.<\/p>\n
