Leviticus speaks of land reptiles, among other animals, as “sheh-retz”; Genesis speaks of all creeping land animals, among which land reptiles are necessarily included, as “reh-mes. ” Our translators, therefore, have given the true sense when they render both “sheh-retz” and “reh-mes” by “creeping things
