1) 在上主天主所造的一切野兽中,蛇是最狡猾的。蛇对女人说:「天主真说了,你们不可吃乐园中任何树上的果子吗?」
女人对蛇说:「乐园中树上的果子,我们都可吃;只有乐园中央那棵树上的果子,天主说过,你们不可以吃,也不可摸,免得死亡。」
蛇对女人说:「你们决不会死! 因为天主知道,你们那天吃了这果子,你们的眼就会开了,将如同天主一样知道善恶。」
2) 《出埃及记》中,上帝让摩西手中的棍杖变成蛇,又从蛇变棍杖。(4:2)
但是,埃及人的智者和术士用他们的巫术作了同样的事。他们每人扔下自己的棍杖,也都变成了蛇,但亚郎的棍杖却吞了他们的棍杖。(7: 12)
- 乌鸦 Raven(创世纪8:6-7)
过了四十天,诺厄开了在方舟上做的窗户,放了一只乌鸦;乌鸦飞去又飞回,直到地上的水都干了。
At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made 7 and sent out the raven; and it went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth.
- 鸽子 Dove (创世纪8:11)
傍晚时,那只鸽子飞回他那里,看,嘴里衔着一根绿的橄榄树枝;诺厄于是知道,水已由地上退去。
the dove came back to him in the evening, and there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf
鸽子在新约,福音书里圣灵的体现。
- 斑鸠 Turtledove (创世纪15:9)
上主对他说:「你给我拿来一只三岁的母牛,一只三岁的母山羊,一只三岁的公绵羊,一只斑鸠和一只雏鸽。」
He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”
- 野驴 wild ass(创世纪 16:12 )
他将来为人,像头野驴;他要反对众人,众人也要反对他;他要冲着自己的众兄弟支搭帐幕。」
He shall be a wild ass of a man, with his hand against everyone, and everyone's hand against him; and he shall live at odds with all his kin.”
