Bereishit Genesis / Bereishit 1:1-6:8
Serpent (Nature’s Nosh) (Genesis / Bereishit 3:1-14)
א וְהַנָּחָשׁ, הָיָה עָרוּם, מִכֹּל חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה, אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים; | 1 The serpent was sneakier than any beast of the field which God had made. |

יד וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים אֶל-הַנָּחָשׁ, כִּי עָשִׂיתָ זֹּאת, אָרוּר אַתָּה מִכָּל-הַבְּהֵמָה, וּמִכֹּל חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה; עַל-גְּחֹנְךָ תֵלֵךְ, וְעָפָר תֹּאכַל כָּל-יְמֵי חַיֶּיךָ. | 14 And God said to the serpent: ‘Because you have done this, you are cursed from among all cattle, and from among all beasts of the field; you will go upon your belly, and eat dust all the days of your life. |
