The mountains often symbolize strength and stability in biblical literature, and they are frequently mentioned as places of divine revelation and encounter with God (e.g., Mount Sinai, Mount Zion). The mention of birds highlights God's intimate knowledge of even the smallest and seemingly insignificant parts of His creation. This reflects the biblical theme found in <a href="/matthew/10-29.htm">Matthew 10:29-31</a>, where Jesus speaks of God's care for sparrows, illustrating His attention to detail and care for all creatures. The mountains, being remote and often uninhabited, suggest that God's knowledge extends to the most hidden parts of the earth.<p><b>and the creatures of the field are Mine</b><br>This phrase asserts God's ownership and authority over all living things. The "creatures of the field" can be understood as the wild animals that roam freely, symbolizing the untamed and natural world. This ownership is a reminder of the creation narrative in Genesis, where God creates and sustains all life. It also connects to the covenantal language found throughout the Old Testament, where God claims Israel as His possession (<a href="/exodus/19-5.htm">Exodus 19:5</a>). The declaration that these creatures are "Mine" underscores the biblical principle that everything belongs to God, as seen in <a href="/psalms/24.htm">Psalm 24:1</a>, "The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it."
