STRONGS G3789:
į½„Ļ†Ī¹Ļ‚, į½€Ļ†Ī¹ĻƒĪµĻ‰Ļ‚, į½ (perhaps named from its sight; cf. Ī“Ļį½±ĪŗĻ‰Ī½, at the beginning, and see Curtius, as under the word į½€Ļ†ĪøĪ±Ī»Ī¼į½¹Ļ‚); from Homer, Iliad 12, 208 down; the Sept. mostly for × ÖøחÖøשׁ; a snake, serpent: Matthew 7:10; Mark 16:18; Luke 10:19; Luke 11:11; John 3:14; 1 Corinthians 10:9; Revelation 9:19; with the ancients the serpent was an emblem of cunning and wisdom, 2 Corinthians 11:3, cf. Genesis 3:1; hence, Ļ†Ļį½¹Ī½Ī¹Ī¼ĪæĪ¹ į½”Ļ‚ Īæį¼± į½„Ļ†ĪµĪ¹Ļ‚, Matthew 10:16 (here WH marginal reading į½ į½„Ļ†Ī¹Ļ‚); hence, crafty hypocrites are called į½„Ļ†ĪµĪ¹Ļ‚, Matthew 23:33. The serpent narrated to have deceived Eve (see Gen. as above) was regarded by the later Jews as the devil (Sap. ii., 23f, cf. 4 Macc. 18:8); hence, he is called į½ į½„Ļ†Ī¹Ļ‚ į½ į¼€ĻĻ‡Ī±įæ–ĪæĻ‚, į½ į½„Ļ†Ī¹Ļ‚: Revelation 12:9, 14; Revelation 20:2; see (Grimm on Sap. as above; From Lenormant, Beginnings of History etc., chapter ii., p. 109f, and) Ī“Ļį½±ĪŗĻ‰Ī½.
