Nahash in Wikipedia
The word nahash is Hebrew for "serpent". According to Antoine
Fabre d'Olivet, the proper translation from Ancient Hebrew of
Nahash is closer to cupidity or original attraction.[1]
According to Eliphas Levi, "The word Nahash, explained by the
symbolical letters of the Tarot signifies rigorously:
14 נNUN.-The power which produces combinations.
5 הHE.-The recipient and passive producer of forms.
21 שׁSHIN.-The natural and central fire equilibrated by double
polarization.
Thus, the word employed by Moses, read kabalistically, gives
the description and definition of that magical Universal
Agent, represented in all theogonies by the serpent;"[2]
