Brojevi 21:4-9
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
Brončana zmija
4 Da bi zaobišli Edom, Izraelci su od planine Hor krenuli putem koji vodi prema Crvenome moru. No narod je putem postao nestrpljiv. 5 Govorili su protiv Boga i protiv Mojsija: »Zašto ste nas izveli iz Egipta da umremo u pustinji? Nema kruha, nema vode, a ova bijedna hrana nam se gadi!«
6 Tada je BOG poslao zmije otrovnice među narod, koje su ih grizle, pa su mnogi Izraelci umrli. 7 Narod je došao Mojsiju i rekao: »Sagriješili smo kad smo govorili protiv BOGA i protiv tebe. Pomoli se BOGU, da ukloni zmije od nas.«
Mojsije se pomolio za narod, 8 a BOG mu je rekao: »Napravi zmiju otrovnicu i stavi je na motku. Koga god ugrize zmija, neka pogleda u zmiju na motki i ostat će živ.« 9 Tako je Mojsije napravio brončanu zmiju[a] i stavio je na motku. Koga god bi ugrizla zmija, pogledao bi u brončanu zmiju i ostao živ.

- 21,9 brončana zmija Hebrejske riječi za zmiju i broncu vrlo su slične. Moguće je da se u prethodnom tekstu radilo o otrovnim zmijama brončane boje, kakvih ima i danas nekoliko vrsta.
Numbers 21:4-9
King James Version
4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6 And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
