>The word viper in the Aramaic is akidneh (akidna - greek, epheh - hebrew) which is really a reference to a scorpion. When a male scorpion mates it quickly dies and when the young scorpion is born it tears the body of the mother so that the mother dies.
>As a result a baby scorpion is born into this world as an orphan without the guidance of a set of parents. John was simply declaring that the Pharisees and Sadducees were orphans. Your parent Abraham died giving you birth and you have long lost his guidance.Source: chaim bentora (have to try and see through the pilpul). Otherwise, I condone everything else itt.
