Of the Way

“The Bible refers repeatedly to the reality of dragons and winged serpents and indicates that the devil is one of their number.  Modern translators are embarrassed by all of this and try to get by with renderings like jackel or crocodile.  They have not gone so far as to translate the words for dragon as export or drain, but they would if they could.”
