That verse says "beasts of the land".
Last time I heard, Jellyfish are not land animals, but, like sharks, they can can dangerous to those swimming within proximity to them, as most of them are poisonous
Jellyfish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jellyfish or jellies[1] are the major non-polyp form of individuals of the phylum Cnidaria. They are typified as free-swimming marine animals consisting of a gelatinous umbrella-shaped bell and trailing tentacles. The bell can pulsate for locomotion, while stinging tentacles can be used to capture prey.
Jellyfish are found in every ocean, from the surface to the deep sea. A few jellyfish inhabit freshwater. Large, often colorful, jellyfish are common in coastal zones worldwide.
Jellyfish have roamed the seas for at least 500 million years,[2] and possibly 700 million years or more, making them the oldest multi-organ animal.[3]
Most jellyfish stings are not deadly, but stings of some species of the class Cubozoa and the Box jellyfish, such as the famous and especially toxic Irukandji jellyfish, can be deadly. Stings may cause anaphylaxis, which can be fatal. Medical care may include administration of an antivenom.
In 2010, at a New Hampshire beach, pieces of a single dead lion's mane jellyfish stung between 125 and 150 people.[87][88] Jellyfish kill 20 to 40 people a year in the Philippines alone.[86] In 2006 the Spanish Red Cross treated 19,000 stung swimmers along the Costa Brava.[86]
The sea wasp, a box jellyfish found in Australian waters, can kill an adult human within a few minutes.
