Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Moses Pointing to a Great Snake. Caption: "Moses is standing up and pointing to a great snake, or serpent. The serpent is made of brass. It is fastened to the top of a pole. Moses is telling the people to look at it. For some live serpents have come among the people and are biting them. The serpents are poisonous. They are biting both men and women, and whoever is bitten by them dies. And God has told Moses to make this serpent out of brass, and to set it up on a pole, and whoever looks at it, God says, shall get well. And now Moses is pointing to the serpent of brass, and telling the people who are bitten to look at it, so that they may get well. It was because the people had done wrong and disobeyed God, that the poisonous serpents came into the camp and bit them."
