Genesis 3:13 “…The Serpent Beguiled Me…”


The Hebrew words for “Serpent” (נחש) nahghahsh and “Beguiled” or “Deceived” (נשא) nahshah form a Hebrew pun. The Hebrew word for serpent “Serpent” (נחש) nahghahsh is spelled the same as the Hebrew word for “Enchantment” (נחש) nahghash. The Hebrew word for “Beguiled” or “Deceived” (נשא) nahshah is spelled the same as “Deprive” (נשא) nahshah.

Thus the serpent deceives (נשא) nahshah
people through enchantments (נחש) nahghash
in order to deprive (נשא) nahshah
them.

Don’t let the serpent deprive (נשא) nahshah you of your inheritance in heaven through his deceptions (נשא) nahshah on earth!
