Manipulation is when they blame you
for your reaction to their disrespect.

Read that again.

How the Serpent in the Garden Became Satan: Biblical Archeology Society… “Introduced as “the most clever of all of the beasts of the field that YHWH God had made,” the serpent in the Garden of Eden is portrayed as just that: a serpent. Satan does not make an appearance in Genesis 2–3, for the simple reason that when the story was written, the concept of the devil had not yet been invented. Explaining the serpent in the Garden of Eden as Satan would have been as foreign a concept to the ancient authors of the text as referring to Ezekiel’s vision as a UFO (but Google “Ezekiel’s vision” now, and you’ll see that plenty of people today have made that connection!). In fact, while the word satan appears elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, it is never a proper name; since there is no devil in ancient Israel’s worldview, there can’t yet have been a proper name for such a creature.”

Genesis 13: 1-4 (NKJV)
Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had,
and Lot with him, to the ^[a]South. 
² Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 
³ And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bethel,
to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, 
⁴ to the place of the altar which he had made there at first. And there Abram called on the name of the Lord.
