Interesting article on Snakes & Isrealites

Hi:

Just found out I will be off to Israel on a business trip in June, so I am doing my (Herp)research for the trip. I can across this paper suggesting the kind of venomous snake involved in Moses trek thru the Sinai and citations in the Bible.

I have a little trouble with the following paragraph:

The world's most dangerous snakes, the ones that cause the most fatalities year after year, are common in populated areas, will attack when not provoked, and also inject a powerful venom. They include the Egyptian cobra, saw-scale viper, puff adder, Asian cobra and Russell's viper. The serpents in the account seem to fit all these criteria to be classed a very dangerous snake.

In light of the fact that stepping too close to a snake is considered (by the snake) provocation, this is a bit misleading.
