So in that context κτῆνος does not refer to all animals living on the land. However, Paul is using the term idiomatically in the context of explaining the physical recreation of a resurrected body. His statement is human flesh is different from all other types of flesh. In that sense, he "lumps" all land animals into one group, κτῆνος. He is not translating creation in Genesis; he is explaining recreation to the Corinthians. | |

It would seem then, in the Septuagint understanding of the word, that κτῆνος doesn't refer to all animals living on the land, would you agree? | |
