OK I think I figured this out.
It's not Serpents that bit them, it's firey serpents perhaps describing Lightening?
God sent firey snakes (Lightening) to punish them it says.
Moshes created a lightening rod to protect them from getting bit (struck by the firey snakes).
*L*
lol... you are like a used car salesman who doesn't even have a jalopy for sale..
A fiery serpent is a metaphor for a false prophet who spreads lies in the name of the Lord, not unlike the plague of fiery TV preachers and wanna be messiahs, like you, that have been infecting people with poisonous thought viruses that kill the intellect for the past 50 years.........
Now you know.
I do not know-------metaphors are not DIVINE------they are a matter of usage
C'mon Rosie, smarten up. I thought you were from Brooklyn...
who said I am FROM BROOKLYN? ...... I am not all that smart---but smart
enough to know that the bible was not written in Brooklyn Lingo---nor
did those who wrote it know anything about Coney Island and Nathan's hot dogs
or ever heard of Billy Graham
