1. AN INTRODUCTION THESERPENT!Genesis 3:1
The Hebrew word rendered "serpent" in Gen. 3:1 isNachash(from the rootNachash, toshine), and meansa shining one. In the same waySaraph, in Isa. 6:2, 6, meansa burning one, and, because the serpents mentioned in Num. 21 were burning, in the poison of their bite, they were calledSaraphim, orSaraphs.… Nachashis thus used as being interchangeable withSaraph.

My thoughts - Genesis 1:1-2
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.NIV
2Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God's Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss. MSG
