The Secret Doctrine, Volume II. Anthropogenesis

Chapter 905

[←896]

See Numbers, xxi. 8, 9. God orders Moses to build a brazen Serpent (Saraph), to look upon which heals those bitten by the Fiery Serpents. The latter were the Seraphim, each one of which, as Isaiah shows (vi. 2), “had six wings”; they are the symbols of Jehovah, and of all the other Demiurgi who produce out of themselves six sons or likenesses—seven with their Creator. Thus, the Brazen Serpent is Jehovah, the chief of the “Fiery Serpents.” And yet, in II Kings (xviii. 4) it is shown that king Hezekiah, who, like as David his father, “did that which was right in the sight of the Lord”—”brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made ... and called it Nehushtan,” or piece of brass.
