Nehushtan
Sa biblikal na Books of Kings (2 Kings 18:4; sinurat c. 550 BC), an Nehushtan (Hebrew: נְחֻשְׁתָּן Nəḥuštān [nəħuʃtaːn]) iyo an ngaran na itinao sa bronseng imahen kan sarong halas sa sarong poste. An imahen ilinadawan sa Book of Numbers, kun saen sinugo ni Yahweh si Moses na magtogdok kaiyan tanganing an mga Israelites na makahiling kaiyan mararahay asin poprotektahan sa kagadanan asin sa mga kagat kan "naglalaad na halas", na ipinadara ni which Yahweh tanganing padusahan sinda huli sa pagtaram kontra sa saiya asin ki Moses (Numbers 21:4–9).
Segun sa Book of Kings, si Hadeng Hezekiah nagsugo nin ikonoklastikong reporma na kabali an pagraot kan "the brazen serpent that Moses had made; for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it; and it was called Nehushtan".[1]

An kulto nin halas establisado nin marhay sa Canaan kaidtong Panahon kan Bronse: an mga arkeologo nadiskubre an mga halasnon na pangkultong bagay kaidtong panahon nin Bronse strata sa nagkapirang pre-Israelite na syudad sa Canaan: duwa sa Megiddo,[2] saro sa Gezer,[3] saro sa Kodesh HaKodashim (Holy of Holies) kan Area H temple sa Hazor,[4] asin duwa sa Shechem.[5]
Segun ki Lowell K. Handy, an Nehushtan posibleng iyo an simbolo kan menor na dios kan bulong sa kagat nin halas sa laog kan Templo.[6]
