NASB | Numbers 21:8 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will live." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Numbers 21:8 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent [of bronze] and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten will live when he looks at it." |
Subject: Was the serpent being worshipped? |
Bible Note: This is interesting.. Ryrie's Study Bible states, "Only those who believed God and looked on the bronze serpent lived. The NT uses this incident as an illustration of Christ's vicarious death on the cross and of the necessity of personal faith for salvation (John 3:14-15)." Thanks THECROSS! Blessings, Nolan |
