Note :
The serpents are mostly long and slender ,
and move partly by bending the body into undulations or folds and pressing them against objects ,
and partly by using the free edges of their ventral scales to cling to rough surfaces .
Many species glide swiftly over the ground ,
some burrow in the earth ,
others live in trees .
A few are entirely aquatic ,
and swim rapidly .

frequently noticed in Scripture .
More than forty species are found in Syria and Arabia .
The poisonous character of the serpent is alluded to in Jacob '
s blessing on Dan (
Gen .
49 :
17 ;
see Prov .
30 :
18 ,
19 ;
James 3 :
7 ;
Jer .
8 :
17 ).
(
See {
ADDER }.)
This word is used symbolically of a deadly ,
subtle ,
malicious enemy (
Luke 10 :
19 ).
The serpent is first mentioned in connection with the history of the temptation and fall of our first parents (
Gen .
3 ).
It has been well remarked regarding this temptation : "
A real serpent was the agent of the temptation ,
as is plain from what is said of the natural characteristic of the serpent in the first verse of the chapter (
3 :
1 ),
and from the curse pronounced upon the animal itself .
But that Satan was the actual tempter ,
and that he used the serpent merely as his instrument ,
is evident (
1 )
from the nature of the transaction ;
for although the serpent may be the most subtle of all the beasts of the field ,
yet he has not the high intellectual faculties which the tempter here displayed . (
2 .)
In the New Testament it is both directly asserted and in various forms assumed that Satan seduced our first parents into sin (
John 8 :
44 ;
Rom .
16 :
20 ;
2 Cor .
11 :
3 ,
14 ;
Rev .
12 :
9 ;
20 :
2 )."
