<<Interesting. So Gen. 1:21, for example, should read something like "So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, of all varieties, and every variety of winged bird."? >>
Yes. The New Revised Standard Version translates it "So God created the great sea monsters and every
living creature that moves, of every kind, with which the waters swarm, and every winged bird of every kind.
