Brass:
which is an alloy of copper and zinc, was not known till the thirteenth century. What is designated by this word in Scripture is properly copper (Deu 8:9). It was used for fetters (Jdg 16:21; 2Ki 25:7), for pieces of armour (1Sa 17:5,6), for musical instruments (1Ch 15:19; 1Cr 13:1), and for money (Mat 10:9).
It is a symbol of insensibility and obstinacy in sin (Isa 48:4; Jer 6:28; Eze 22:18), and of strength (Psa 107:16; Mic 4:13).
The Macedonian empire is described as a kingdom of brass (Dan 2:39). The "mountains of brass" Zechariah (Zec 6:1) speaks of have been supposed to represent the immutable decrees of God.
The serpent of brass was made by Moses at the command of God (Num 21:4-9), and elevated on a pole, so that it might be seen by all the people when wounded by the bite of the serpents that were sent to them as a punishment for their murmurings against God and against Moses. It was afterwards carried by the Jews into Canaan, and preserved by them till the time of Hezekiah, who caused it to be at length destroyed because it began to be viewed by the people with superstitious reverence (2Ki 18:4). (See NEHUSHTAN.)
The brazen serpent is alluded to by our Lord in Jhn 3:14, 15. (See SERPENT.)

Brass:
The word nechosheth is improperly translated by "brass." In most places of the Old Testament the correct translation would be copper, although it may sometimes possibly mean bronze a compound of copper and tin. Indeed a simple metal was obviously intended, as we see from Deuteronomy 8:9; 33:25; Job 28. Copper was known at a very early period (Genesis 4:22).
Nehushtan:
of copper; a brazen thing a name of contempt given to the serpent Moses had made in the wilderness (Num 21:8), and which Hezekiah destroyed because the children of Israel began to regard it as an idol and "burn incense to it." The lapse of nearly one thousand years had invested the "brazen serpent" with a mysterious sanctity; and in order to deliver the people from their infatuation, and impress them with the idea of its worthlessness, Hezekiah called it, in contempt, "Nehushtan," a brazen thing, a mere piece of brass (2Ki 18:4).
He is a cross pendant.
He is engraved with a unique Number.
He will mail it out from Jerusalem.
He will be sent to your Side.
