Sherry Shriner on Satan’s Serpent Seedline, part 3 of 4

Shriner points out that Eve stated:

“The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.” In Strong’s, #398 the term “eat” means to eat, also to lay. The term “touch” in Strong’s is #5060 which means naga, to touch, also to have sexual intercourse. Both terms had and have sexual connotations to them.

As is very common to Serpent Seed of Satan theorists, Shriner basically just notes various meanings/definitions and pick the ones that she thinks will support her preconceived notions rather than letting the text define the terms. For those who are not used to using Strong’s Concordance, be aware that there is no such thing as Strong’s #398 or #5060 because Strong’s number are always preceded by either an “H” for Hebrew or “G” for Greek. Thus, she means H398 and H5060. Now, is H398 eat and lay (not that it would matter if it is defined as both)? Of 810 instances of this word in the Bible the KJV, for example, translates it as, “eat (604x), devour (111x), consume (32x), miscellaneous (55x).”

Here is the entry in Stong’s:

Outline of Biblical Usage: I.to eat, devour, burn up, feed A.(Qal), i.to eat (human subject), ii.to eat, devour (of beasts and birds), iii.to devour, consume (of fire), iv.to devour, slay (of sword), v.to devour, consume, destroy (inanimate subjects – ie, pestilence, drought), vi.to devour (of oppression) B.(Niphal), i.to be eaten (by men), ii.to be devoured, consumed (of fire), iii.to be wasted, destroyed (of flesh) C.(Pual), i.to cause to eat, feed with, ii.to cause to devour D.(Hiphil), i.to feed, ii.to cause to eat

E.(Piel), i.consume,

Strong’s Definitions:
אָכַל ʼâkal, aw-kal’; a primitive root; to eat (literally or figuratively):—× at all, burn up, consume, devour(-er, up), dine, eat(-er, up), feed (with), food, × freely, × in…wise(-deed, plenty), (lay) meat, × quite.

Do you see what happens when you actually double check claims? Sherry Shriner made it sound as if this word is either or: eat or lay and since you can go either way with it then it is just as valid to claim that it means “lay” and does so with a sexual connotation. Yet, the one and only reference to “lay” within the definitions is “(lay) meat”—whatever that means.

What about H5060 which is supposedly “touch” and to have sexual intercourse? Of 150 instances the KJV translates it as, “touch (92x), came (18x), reach (11x), bring (4x), near (4x), smite (4x), nigh (3x), plagued (3x), happeneth (2x), strike (2x), beaten (1x), cast (1x), reach up (1x), brought down (1x), join (1x), laid (1x), get up.”
Strong’s has:

Outline of Biblical Usage: I.to touch, reach, strike. A.(Qal), i.to touch, ii.to strike, iii.to reach, extend to, iv.to be stricken a.stricken (participle) B.(Niphal) to be stricken, be defeated C.(Piel) to strike D.(Pual) to be stricken (by disease)

E.(Hiphil) to cause to touch, reach, approach, arrive, i.to cause to touch, apply, ii.to reach, extend, attain, arrive, come, iii.to approach (of time), iv.to befall (of fate)

Strong’s Definitions:
נָגַע nâgaʻ, naw-gah’; a primitive root; properly, to touch, i.e. lay the hand upon (for any purpose; euphemistically, to lie with a woman); by implication, to reach (figuratively, to arrive, acquire); violently, to strike (punish, defeat, destroy, etc.):—beat, (× be able to) bring (down), cast, come (nigh), draw near (nigh), get up, happen, join, near, plague, reach (up), smite, strike, touch.

This time is more explicit—if we take the most minority usage as explicit—as it can mean, if the context calls for it, “lay the hand upon (for any purpose; euphemistically, to lie with a woman).” Yet, of course, the Serpent Seed of Satan theory is not justified by one minority and partial euphemistic usage.
