Nehushtan or the Bronze Serpent of 'ol Moses .... Need more on staffs with snakes & serpents on poles? This lovely little deity Jahweh sends fiery snakes to punish the 600,000 wanderers with Moses who start complaining too loudly. This would all be so lovely except we find almost no bronze age relics from Israel 600BC let alone 1500BC. Who even believes this nonsense is beyond me, but its obvious the Hebrews were absolutely imitating the Greeks here, in their crazy way. Hebrew's barely had an Iron Age let alone the Bronze, this was all stolen from Greek mythology am 100% sure of it. Bronze Serpent of Moses, Nehushtan en.wikipedia.org In the biblical Book of Numbers, the Nehushtan* (or Nohestan) (* Hebrew) was a "bronze serpent" on a pole which God told Moses to erect to prevent the Israelites who saw it of dying from the bites [1] of "fiery serpents" which God had sent to punish them for speaking against God and Moses. Later in the biblical story, King Hezekiah institutes a religious iconoclastic reform and destroys "the brazen serpent that Moses had made; for unto those days the children of Israel did offer to it; and it was called Nehushtan." ( 2 Kings 18:4)
