I am sitting in the science reference room just now, or I would go dig up
a Bible to find an exact reference. The "brazen serpeant" of Moses,
according to my memory of one of the historical books, was broken up by
one of the later kings of Judah because it had become part of idol
worship. Beyond the Christological interpretation of the symbol - and
much was interpreted as referring to Jesus which may seem stretched now -
it would be interesting to know how medieval exegetes interpreted both
passages, Moses making of the image and its destruction.
