[Verginius Rufus]

I don't know about the Hebrew text, but in the Greek Septuagint translation of Genesis 3.1-15 it uses the word ophis which is the regular Greek word for serpent or snake. (The name of the constellation Ophiuchus means "serpent holder.")

The Greek was translated from the Hebrew. What's the Hebrew word and what does THAT mean??
