It is often associated with deception, sin, and evil, but also with wisdom and healing in certain contexts. Genesis and the Fall: The most prominent appearance of the snake is in the Book of Genesis. In the Garden of Eden, the serpent is described as "more cunning than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made" (<a href="/genesis/3.htm">Genesis 3:1</a>). It tempts Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, leading to the fall of man. This act of deception introduces sin into the world, and as a result, God curses the serpent: "On your belly you will go, and dust you will eat all the days of your life" (<a href="/genesis/3-14.htm">Genesis 3:14</a>). The serpent's role in the fall establishes its association with Satan and evil. Symbol of Judgment and Healing: In the Book of Numbers, the snake appears as both a symbol of judgment and healing. When the Israelites speak against God and Moses, the LORD sends venomous snakes among them, causing many to die. In response to Moses' intercession, God instructs him to make a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. Those who look at the bronze serpent are healed (<a href="/numbers/21-6.htm">Numbers 21:6-9</a>). This event is later referenced by Jesus in the New Testament as a foreshadowing of His crucifixion (<a href="/john/3-14.htm">John 3:14-15</a>). Wisdom and Cunning: In the New Testament, Jesus advises His disciples to be "as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves" (<a href="/matthew/10-16.htm">Matthew 10:16</a>). Here, the snake's cunning is acknowledged as a trait to be emulated in a positive sense, balanced by the innocence of a dove. Symbol of Satan: The snake is explicitly identified with Satan in the Book of Revelation. The "great dragon" is described as "that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray" (<a href="/revelation/12-9.htm">Revelation 12:9</a>). This identification reinforces the serpent's role as an adversary and deceiver throughout biblical history. Other References: Snakes are mentioned in various other contexts in the Bible. In Exodus, Aaron's staff becomes a snake as a sign to Pharaoh (<a href="/exodus/7-10.htm">Exodus 7:10-12</a>). In the Psalms and Proverbs, snakes are used metaphorically to describe the wicked and deceitful (<a href="/psalms/58-4.htm">Psalm 58:4</a>, <a href="/proverbs/23-32.htm">Proverbs 23:32</a>). Cultural and Theological Significance: The snake's presence in the Bible has influenced Christian theology and symbolism. It represents the duality of creation—capable of both harm and healing. The snake's role in the fall of man and its association with Satan underscore the ongoing spiritual battle between good and evil. The imagery of the snake continues to be a powerful symbol in Christian art and literature, reflecting its complex biblical heritage.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
