Description
Genesis 3 never calls the serpent Satan. That identification arrives much later, and the path it takes is traceable.
This guide follows the chain: the chaos-serpent traditions of Mesopotamia and Ugarit, the nachash of Genesis and what the Hebrew actually permits, the shift in the Second Temple period, and the point where the identification becomes fixed in Christian reading.
Includes: 88-page PDF, comparative text plates, and a translation appendix on the Hebrew of Genesis 3.
