MISHNAH: Similarly, the Eternal said to Moses, yourself make a poisonous snake and put it on a pole, etc. Does the snake kill or the snake make live? But in times when Israel look upwards and make their thought subservient to their Father in Heaven they were healed, otherwise they were rotting.

HALAKHAH: Rebbi Yasa said, in four places it is said “make for yourself.” In three it is explicit, one is not explicit. Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make yourself two silver trumpets. Make yourself flintstone knives. Make yourself a poisonous snake He did not make explicit. Moses said, is its root not nḥš? Therefore, Moses made a brass snake. From there, Rebbi Meïr interpreted names. There was a man called Kidor. Rebbi Meïr told them, guard yourselves from him, he is a bad person; for a generation of perverts they are.

Rebbi Levi in the name of Rebbi Ḥama bar Ḥanina. It is not written, “and one bitten”, but and anyone bitten, even bitten by a dog, even bitten by a snake. But they do not compare. A dog bite, and he sees; a snake bite, and he gazes. Rebbi Jehudah the circumcizer in the name of Rebbi Aḥa, A dog bite which is not of its kind, and he sees; a snake bite which is of its kind, and he gazes. But the rabbis say, A dog bite which does not make tremble, and he sees; a snake bite which makes tremble, and he gazes.
