בראשית א:ל פירוש: רשב״ם, ספורנו, שד״ל ואור החיים

ולכל חית הארץ, however, meat would not be permitted as food for man until Noach, when G’d specifically told him (Genesis 9,2) that meat henceforth would serve him as food just as up until then when G’d had allocated a vegetarian diet for man.

ולכל חית הארץ, but to all the beasts on earth including the birds and the domesticated animals I have allocated את כל ירק עשב, different kinds of herbs which are not generating seed.

"And to all animals (chayat) of the earth:" It includes beasts (behama) to be in the category of animals [here].
