ISR- John 3:14“And as Mosheh lifted up the serpent in the wilderness [Bemidbar], even so the Son of Aḏam [Man] has to be lifted up [Every passage that states "stauros" means a stake in the original Greek, as with Homer in the Odyssey, never "cross" a biological symbol and sun worship symbol tracing back to Babel and Tammuz. IT IS PAGAN-GET IT? If it does not matter, neither does it matter if we are rejected from the world to come!],

15 so that whoever is believing/trusting in Him should not perish but possess everlasting life.

ISR [Originating from Masoretic text]-Numbers 21:8 And Yahweh יהוה said to Mosheh, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole [#5251 BDB Lexicon- NO CADUCEUS WITH A CROSSBAR, AS CHRISTOLOGY FORCES UPON THE TEXTS! ]. And it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.”

Why? Because the source of their issues were stemming from haSatan, the evil one, the serpent of Genesis 3 and Revelation 12:9 and 20:2 through works of the flesh against Torah.

For It Is Written :
Exodus 22:28“Do not revile Elohim, nor curse a ruler of your people.

Numbers 21:4 And they departed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Sea of Reeds, to go around the land of Eḏom. But the being of the people grew impatient because of the way.

5 And the people spoke against Elohim and against Mosheh, “Why have you brought us up out of Mitsrayim to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our being loathes this light bread.”

Numbers 21:6 And יהוה sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people. And many of the people of Yisra’ĕl died.

7 Then the people came to Mosheh, and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against YAHWEH יהוה and AGAINST you [MOSES]. Pray to יהוה to take away the serpents from us.” So Mosheh prayed on behalf of the people.

5 And the people spoke against G-d and against Moses, saying, Why is this? Hast thou brought us ought of Egypt to slay us in the wilderness? for there is not bread nor water; and our soul loathes this light bread.

6 And the L-rd sent among the people deadly serpents, and they bit the people, and much people of the children of Israel died.

7 And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the L-rd, and against thee: pray therefore to the L-rd, and let him take away the serpent from us.

8 And Moses prayed to the L-rd for the people; and the L-rd said to Moses, Make thee a serpent, and put it on a signal-staff; and it shall come to pass that whenever a serpent shall bite a man, every one so bitten that looks upon it shall live.

9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a signal-staff: and it came to pass that whenever a serpent bit a man, and he looked on the brazen serpent, he lived.
