Scorpions are very similar to [[spiders]], but are generally considered to have been created separately during Genesis due to some key features, such as their pincers and venomous tail. Before the Fall the tail would not have been venomous, but would likely have served some useful function, such as containing digestive juices for use on various fruits.

Scorpions are invertebrates with a tail that can be erected and inflict a venomous sting.

Scorpions appear seven times in the Bible:

  • Revelation 9:5 - And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.[1]
  • Luke 11:12 - Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?[2]
  • Ezekiel 2:6 - And thou, O son of man, fear not, neither be thou afraid of their words: for thou art among unbelievers and destroyers, and thou dwellest with scorpions. Fear not their words, neither be thou dismayed at their looks: for they are a provoking house.[3]
  • Deuteronomy 8:15 - He led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water; He brought water for you out of the rock of flint.[4]
  • 2 Chronicles 10:14 (similar phrases in 1 Kings 12:11[5] and 1 Kings 12:14[6]) - He spoke to them as the young men advised. He said, "If my father made your burden heavy, I will add to it. If my father punished you with whips, I will use scorpions."[7]
