The image of the bronze snake lifted up on the pole to provide physical healing (chapter 21) also prefigures the lifting up of Christ, either upon the cross, or in the ministry of the Word, that whoever looks to Him by faith may have spiritual healing.
Picha ya nyoka wa shaba iliyoinuliwa juu ya mti kutoa uponyaji wa kimwili (sura 21) pia inabainisha kuinuliwa kwa Kristo, pengine juu ya msalaba, au katika huduma ya neno, ili yeyote atamtazamia Yeye kwa imani ataezapata uponyaji wa kiroho.
