Old Moshe Ziffer (1902-1989) \"NEHUSHTAN\" signed Hand Hammered

Copper Plate attached to wood panel

Dedicated on the back to Dr. Musberg the founder of

NEHUSHTAN ELEVATORS in 1936

In the biblical Book of Numbers, the Nehushtan (or Nohestan)

(Hebrew: נחושתן or נחש הנחושת) was a \"bronze serpent\" on a pole

which God told Moses to erect to prevent the Israelites who

saw it of dying from the bites of \"fiery serpents\"which

God had sent to punish them for speaking against God

and Moses.

Later in the biblical story, King Hezekiah institutes a

religious iconoclastic reform and destroys \"the brazen

serpent that Moses had made;for unto those days

the children of Israel did offer to it; and it was

called Nehushtan.\" (2Kings 18:4)

signed: Ziffer in Hebrew.
