Bronze Serpent



‎Numbers 21:4–9 tells that bitter complaining against God and Moses by the Israelites led to punishment from the Lord. Fiery serpents were sent among them, biting them, causing many to die.

If any Israelite was bitten, they would only need to look up at the bronze serpent to live.
