Definition: The English word "Aetobatidae" comes from a Greek root that refers to something that has been in the ground for more than one year, and this term describes an organism that lives on or near the surface of water. In biblical context, it is found in the book of Genesis (Book of Numbers) where God says "And I will take unto me all nations which shall be in the land to whom the LORD hath spoken thy word." The Hebrew word translated as "Aetobatidae" translates to "All living things that are above ground." The Greek word "Aetobatidae" is used twice in the book of Numbers to describe organisms or animals that have not yet emerged from the surface, such as those who have lived on and around water for a longer period. These creatures are described as "the beasts of old" because they were "above ground." The term "Aetobatidae" is also found in other passages like the Book of Psalms (Book of Jubilees) where it refers to those who have not yet left their homes and settled down among the people. Therefore, in the context of Genesis 2:1-6, "Aetobatidae" describes creatures that are above ground or have been around for a longer period than the land itself. This term is significant as it indicates how God viewed the lives of humanity and creatures living on earth at that time.
