Subject: The Serpent's Class |
Bible Note: Wise? What version are you reading? NIV says "Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made." DR says "Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the LORD God had made." NASB says "was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made." NLT says "was the shrewdest of all the creatures the LORD God had made." KJV says "was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made." YLT says "hath been subtile above every beast of the field which Jehovah God hath made," I can't find a version that says 'wisest.' If he's not a beast of the field then what kind of critter is he? Not human... curiouser and curiouser, Lisa |
