What object did God command to be made for healing the bitten Israelites?

• A. A bronze serpent
• B. A golden calf
• C. A silver trumpet
• D. A cedar totem

Answer: (A)

The main idea tested is recognizing the specific object God used to bring healing to the bitten Israelites. God told Moses to make a bronze serpent and attach it to a pole; when someone who had been bitten looked at it, they were healed. This shows that healing came through faith in God’s provision and obedience to His instruction, not through their own efforts. The bronze serpent also points forward to Jesus being lifted up, bringing salvation to all who look to Him in faith. Other proposed items don’t fit the biblical event: a golden calf represents idolatry; a silver trumpet was used for signaling, not healing; a cedar totem isn’t part of the biblical narrative.
