The setting

The catalogue of creatures repeats and expands, now naming ἑρπετά, “creeping things,” for the first time in this chapter alongside birds and beasts — the three broad categories (flying, four-footed, creeping) that Genesis 1 already used to sort land and air life. This verse runs on without a full stop into verse 9.
