# The fear of you and the dread of you will be upon every living animal ... and upon all the fish of the sea
|
|
|

The writer speaks of fear and dread as if they were physical objects that could be upon the animals. Alternate translation: "Every living animal ... and all the fish of the sea will be dreadfully afraid of you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# The fear of you and the dread of you
|

|
|
The words "fear" and "dread" mean basically the same thing and emphasize how afraid the animals will be of mankind. Alternate translation: "A dreadful fear of you" or "A terrible fear of you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])

# upon everything that goes low on the ground
|

This includes all types of small animals. See how you translated this in [Genesis 1:25](../01/25.md).

# They are given into your hand
