Bronze Serpent
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. Once the Israelites repented Moses prayed to the Lord for deliverance. The Lord instructed Moses to make a bronze serpent, set on a pole. If any Israelite was bitten, they would only need to look up at the bronze serpent to live.
