That being said, among all the living creatures (humanity included), isn’t it quite funny that the Lord didn’t bless the land beasts with reproduction and multiplication? In Genesis 1:24-25 He just created them without giving them the blessing to reproduce…

24 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature
according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the
earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so. 25 And God made the
beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its
kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind.
And God saw that it was good.

…unlike the sea and sky creatures (vv. 21-22) and humankind (vv. 27-28).

21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that
moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and
every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill
the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 So
the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created
him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and
God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue
it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air,
and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

I’ve been studying the Creation account in Genesis 1 and am confused. I’d like to hear thoughts as to why you think that is, since the Bible doesn’t mention anything about it.
