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.

Probably Nehushtan was the name by which it had been ordinarily known; though some believe it a term of contempt then first applied.
