So, to my way of thinking, the serpent was like a cow, donkey, horse, water buffalo, etc. I was raised
in OK. However, i have also noticed during this part of the
scripture, the word cattle is distinguished from beast - Gen 1.24, 25; 2.20.
I searched on Blue Letter Bible for "beast of the field." But, no direct answers. Still searching for this one. Please share whatever you find.
