There is no suggestion in the Book of Genesis that the serpent was the devil, who in any case was a concept that only entered Judaism after the Babylonian Exile. The Rabbinical Jews later rejected the idea of the devil as an independent force, and thus there is no support in Jewish belief for the serpent of the Garden of Eden being the devil.

Even mainstream Christian theologians see no suggestion in the Bible that the serpent was Satan or Lucifer. However, some evangelical denominations would support that view, with or without biblical endorsement.
