You know, Jim! Because of Ezekiel 28:13 and Revelation 12:9, 20:2. Ezekiel's
QiYNaH is a mocking funeral dirge over the late King of Tyre, into whom Satan
entered as he entered into Judas (Luke 22:3). The similar passage in Isaiah
14:4-23 is called a Ma$aL. Some take the A&E story as a monotheistic version
of Pandora's Box; but it could be the other way round. Pandora's Box may be a
corrupted polytheistic version of the monotheistic original. Compare the
Babylonian versions of the Creation, Fall and Flood episodes. I prefer the
Tenach versions!

Gerhard von Rad has my respect too; but I prefer Gordon J Wenham.

Best to you as ever,
Ben
