In this video Dr Woodhead discusses the creation of the sea and bird life. The Hebrew word for soul is nephish and it refers to the fact that there is some consciousness with these creatures as opposed to plant life. The great sea monsters included here is a Hebrew word tannin. This is also the first instance of God speaking to someone else. God blessed the birds and sea creatures. The medieval Jewish rabbis believed that God blessed them since they would be hunted and eaten later.
