Moses lifts up the brass snake, curing the Israelites of snakebite s. Hezekiah called the snake Nehushtan.

In the Jewish Deuterocanonical book Second Maccabees, Chapter 2, " one finds in the records " that Jeremiah, having received an oracle of the Lord, ordered that the tent and the ark and the altar of incense should follow him to the mountain of God where he sealed them up in a cave, and he told those who followed him in order to mark the way ( but they could not find it ) " The place shall remain unknown until God gathers his people together again and shows his mercy, and then the Lord will disclose these things, and the glory of the Lord and the cloud shall appear, as they were shown in the case of Moses, and as Solomon asked that the place be specially consecrated.

The book could be seen as an allusion to the history as described by Moses ; for the minor Prophets, in promising God ’ s assistance to his people, must often remind how God in a miraculous manner brought up the Jews from Egypt.

Judaism's view is summed up by a biblical observation about the Torah: in the beginning God clothes the naked ( Adam ), and at the end God buries the dead ( Moses ).

Pharaoh's daughter finds the child, names him Moses, and brings him up as her own.

Moses goes up the mountain into the presence of God, who pronounces the Covenant Code ( a detailed code of ritual and civil law ), and promises Canaan to them if they obey.

God calls Moses up the mountain together with Aaron and the elders of Israel, and they all feast in the presence of God.

God calls Moses up the mountain to receive a set of stone tablets containing the law, and he and Joshua go up, leaving Aaron in charge.

The two powerful groups making up the community — the priestly families who controlled the Temple and who traced their foundation-myth to Moses and the wilderness wanderings, and the major landowning families who made up the " elders " and who traced their own origins to Abraham, who had " given " them the land — were in conflict over many issues, and each had its own " history of origins ", but the Persian promise of greatly increased local autonomy for all provided a powerful incentive to cooperate in producing a single text.

In the Book of Numbers it is written that God told Moses to make a bronze serpent, Nehushtan, and hold it up, so that anyone looking at the snake would be healed of their snakebites.

Moses set up a senatorial priestly aristocracy, which, like that of Rome, resisted monarchy.

In his introduction to Mishneh Torah Maimonides provides a generation by generation account of the direct line of all those who transmitted this tradition beginning with Moses himself up until the Mishnaic era.

As long as Moses held the rod up, Israel dominated the fighting, but if Moses let down his hands, the tide of the battle turned in favor of the Amalekites.

Before Moses went up the mountain to receive the tablets, he told the elders to direct any questions that arose to Aaron or Hur.

After Moses spoke the ground opened up and engulfed Dathan and Abiram's tents, after which it closed again.

Similar passages include, for example, Exodus 17: 14, " And YHWH said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven ;" Exodus 24: 4, " And Moses wrote all the words of YHWH, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mount, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel ;" Exodus 34: 27, " And Yahweh said unto Moses, Write thou these words, for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel ;" and " These are the decrees, the laws and the regulations that the LORD established on Mount Sinai between himself and the Israelites through Moses.

When he met the Pharisees Nicodemus at night in the third chapter of the Gospel of John, he compared Moses ' lifting up of the bronze serpent in the wilderness, which any Israelite could look at and be healed, to his own lifting up ( by his death and resurrection ) for the people to look at and be healed.

He resolved to abolish idolatry from his kingdom, and among other things that he did to this end, he destroyed the high places ( or bamot ) and " bronze serpent " ( or " Nehushtan "), recorded as being made by Moses according to the command of Yahweh (), which became an object of idolatrous worship (.

The Book of Numbers 21: 6 – 9 provides an origin for an archaic copper serpent, Nehushtan by associating it with Moses.

When the reformer King Hezekiah came to the throne of Judah in the late 8th century BCE, " He removed the high places, broke the sacred pillars, smashed the idols, and broke into pieces the copper snake that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

King Hezekiah ( reigned 715 / 716 – 687 ) instituted a religious iconoclastic reform and destroyed " the brazen serpent that Moses had made ; for unto those days the children of Israel did offer to it ; and it was called Nehushtan.
