Genesis 3:1

Anti-Serpent or Serpent?

Strong’s #5175, נחש nachash. Hissing-one or bronze-one? Said to be from an unused verb to hiss. Derivatives however are brass/bronze nachush (#5153) and nechoshet (#5178):

“If my flesh is a bronze-one [nachush]?” Job 6:12 RBT

“And Moses is making a serpent of a bronze one [nachash nechoshet], and he is hearing himself on account of the Miracle; and he has become if the Serpent has bitten any self eternal man, and he has looked toward a serpent of the Bronze One [ nachash nechoshet], and he has lived.” Num. 21:9 RBT
