The Bronze Serpent

Then the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and put it on a flag pole; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, and looks at it, will live.”

He who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions, and its thirsty ground where there was no water; He who brought water for you out of the rock of flint.

He has also prepared deadly weapons for Himself; He makes His arrows fiery shafts.

You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger; The Lord will swallow them up in His wrath, And fire will devour them.
