"Snakes (or serpents) get plenty of attention in the Bible, which mentions them over 80 times.
Snakes show up in Pharaoh’s court (Exodus 7:12), in the wilderness (Numbers 21:7), on the island of Malta (Acts 28:3).
--In some way, the serpent was used by Satan to lie to Eve and lead
her into disobedience.
Adam soon followed.
--As God was meting out punishments, He cursed the snake: Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. (Genesis 3:14).
Every time we see a snake slithering, limbless, on the ground, we have a reminder of the Fall of man and the effects of sin."
