Genesis 1:20

1:20

water <04325> [Let the waters.]

swarms <08318> [moving. or, creeping.]

living <02416> [life. Heb. a living soul.]

birds fly <05774 05775> [fowl that may fly. Heb. let fowl fly.]

This marginal reading is more conformable to the original, and reconciles this passage with ch. 2:19. The word fowl, from the Saxon {fleon,} to fly, exactly corresponds to the original, which denotes every thing that flies, whether bird or insect.

across ... expanse <07549 06440> [open firmament. Heb. face of the firmament.]
