Jewish interpretations of biodiversity have historically prioritized human benefit over species preservation, yet biblical texts offer a more expansive environmental ethic urgently needed for today's extinction crisis. Through analysis of traditional commentaries on Deuteronomy 22:6-7 (the law of the mother bird) by Nachmanides, Maimonides, and other medieval scholars, alongside creation-focused passages in Psalms 104, 148, and Job 38-41, a theological framework emerges that transcends mere anthropocentric stewardship. While medieval interpretations of the mother bird law suggest limited concern for species protection, theocentric biblical texts present a radical alternative where humans participate in rather than dominate creation's community of praise. Psalms 148 and 104, combined with Job's divine speeches, support a non-anthropocentric ethic that recognizes species' intrinsic value through their role in revealing divine wisdom and creative power. Understanding biodiversity as "words in God's Book of Nature" transforms species extinction from mere resource loss into erasure of divine revelation. This analysis advances Jewish environmental discourse beyond instrumental species valuation toward holistic ecosystem ethics grounded in wonder, humility, and recognition of creation's fundamentally theocentric purpose.
