<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LaCointessa, post: 2746018, member: 87186&quot;]This sounds familiar - Probably why healers use the snake on a pole.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;They left Mount Hor by the road to the Sea of Suph, to skirt the land of Edom. On the way the people lost patience.&nbsp; They spoke against G-d and against Moses, &#039;Why did you bring us out of Egypt to die in this wilderness? For there is neither bread nor water here; we are sick of this unsatisfying food.&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>At this G-d sent fiery serpents among the people; their bite brought death to many in Israel. The people came and said to Moses, &#039;We have sinned by speaking against G-d and against you. Intercede for us with G-d and save us from these serpents.&#039;&nbsp; Moses interceded for the people, and G-d answered him, &#039;Make a fiery serpent and put it on a standard. If anyone is bitten and looks at it he shall live.&#039;&nbsp; So Moses fashioned a bronze serpent which he put on a standard, and if anyone was bitten by a serpent, he looked at the bronze serpent and lived.&quot;</p><p>-Numbers 21:4-9 - The Jerusalem Bible, Reader&#039;s Edition[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
