In the ancient Near East, snakes were common and often symbolized danger, deceit, and evil. The adder is mentioned in several passages, highlighting its characteristics and the spiritual lessons derived from its nature.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/psalms/58-4.htm">Psalm 58:4</a> :</b> "Their venom is like the poison of a serpent, like a deaf cobra that stops up its ears." This verse uses the imagery of a venomous snake to describe the wickedness and deceitfulness of the unrighteous. The adder, or cobra, is depicted as dangerous and unresponsive to charm, symbolizing the stubbornness and malice of those who oppose God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/proverbs/23-32.htm">Proverbs 23:32</a> :</b> "In the end it bites like a snake and stings like a viper." Here, the adder is used metaphorically to describe the consequences of indulging in excessive wine and strong drink. The initial allure of such indulgence is contrasted with the eventual harm it brings, much like the bite of a venomous snake.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/isaiah/11-8.htm">Isaiah 11:8</a> :</b> "The infant will play by the cobra’s den, and the toddler will reach into the viper’s nest." This prophetic vision of the Messianic age portrays a time of peace and harmony, where even the most dangerous creatures pose no threat. The adder, representing danger, is rendered harmless in the presence of God's kingdom.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/isaiah/59-5.htm">Isaiah 59:5</a> :</b> "They hatch viper’s eggs and weave a spider’s web. Whoever eats their eggs will die; crack one open, and a viper is hatched." This passage uses the imagery of vipers and their eggs to illustrate the destructive and deceitful nature of sin. The adder's eggs symbolize the potential for harm and death inherent in sinful actions.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Interpretation:</b><br><br>In biblical literature, the adder often symbolizes sin, danger, and the consequences of turning away from God. Its venomous nature serves as a metaphor for the destructive power of sin and the deceitfulness of evil. The adder's presence in Scripture is a reminder of the need for vigilance and reliance on God's protection and wisdom.<br><br>The adder also appears in contexts that highlight God's ultimate authority over creation. In the prophetic vision of Isaiah, the adder's harmlessness in the Messianic age underscores the transformative power of God's kingdom, where even the most dangerous elements of creation are subdued and reconciled.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b><br><br>In the ancient Near East, snakes were both feared and revered. They were often associated with fertility and healing, as well as danger and death. The adder, as a venomous snake, would have been a familiar and potent symbol to the original audience of the biblical texts. Its use in Scripture reflects the broader cultural understanding of snakes as creatures to be respected and feared.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>The adder's depiction in the Bible serves as a powerful reminder of the reality of sin and the need for redemption. It calls believers to be aware of the dangers of sin and to seek refuge in God's grace and protection. The imagery of the adder also points to the hope of a future where God's peace reigns, and all creation is restored to harmony.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(<a href="/psalms/140-3.htm">Psalm 140:3</a>; <a href="/romans/3-13.htm">Romans 3:13</a>, "asp") is the rendering of, <p>(1.)

In each case a poisonous serpent is clearly indicated by the context. It is impossible to tell in any case just what species is meant, but it must be remembered that the English word adder is used very ambiguously. It is from the Anglo-Saxon noedre, a snake or serpent, and is the common English name for Vipera berus, L, the common viper, which is found throughout Europe and northern Asia, though not in Bible lands; but the word "adder" is also used for various snakes, both poisonous and non-poisonous, found in different parts of the world. In America, for instance, both the poisonous moccasin (Ancistrodon) and the harmless hog-nosed snakes (Heterodon) are called adders.<br><br>See <a href="../s/serpent.htm">SERPENT</a>.<br><br>Alfred Ely Day<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/2191.htm"><span class="l">2191. echidna -- a viper</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Word Origin from echis (a viper, <b>adder</b>) Definition a viper NASB Word Usage<br> viper (1), vipers (4). viper.
