re.me.s denotes creatures presented among animals, birds, and fish, often as those moving on the ground.

The term consistently names a category of creatures within broader lists of living beings: it is set beside livestock, beasts, birds, fish, and humanity, and several clauses specify movement on the ground. The same category occurs in creation, preservation in the ark, food, judgment, praise, and a sea scene.

1. A class of moving creatures · dominant

   In Genesis 1:24 the noun occurs in the earth's production of living creatures alongside livestock and beasts; Genesis 1:25 specifies a member of this class as moving on the ground. In Genesis 6:20 and Genesis 8:17 it is included with birds and animals among creatures preserved and brought out of the ark, while Psalm 104:25 places such creatures in the great sea among living things small and great.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the category as “creeping thing” or “creeping things,” often expanding the clause with “that creeps on the ground.” In Psalm 104:25 it uses “creeping things” in a sea setting; These English phrases show the verse-level presentation rather than a fixed one-word equivalent.
