Kehushtan (ne-hŭsh'tan), the brazen thing. The serpent of brass—or copper—which Moses made by God's command in the wilderness, Numbers 21:8-9, was preserved for many ages. Hezekiah, perceiving that the people had been in the habit of paying a superstitious reverence to it, broke it up. 2 Kings 18:4. Probably Nehushtan was the name by which it had been ordinarily known; though some believe it a term of contempt then first applied.
