From several allusions both to its deadly venom ( Deuteronomy 32 : 33 ) , and to its use by serpent - charmers ( Ps. , lvii ( Hebr. , lviii ) , 5 , 6 ) , it appears that the cobra ( naja aspis ) is most probably signified . Safely to step upon its body , or even linger by the hole where it coils itself , is manifestly a sign of God 's particular protection ( Ps. , xc ( Hebr. , xci ) , 13 ; Is. , xi , 8 ) .
