Weird fact. God described three separate types of land creatures in Genesis 1: Wild animals, livestock, and creeping things.
The Hebrew word used to describe "livestock" comes from a root word that means mute.
As in, "These are the ones that do not speak."
As opposed to the "wild animals" or the "creatures that crawl." Or to a particular serpent.
The "creature that crawl" is a word used for "reptiles." And "wild animals" is literally "creatures that have life in them."
This is really wild stuff.
