The staff of Moses:
And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.” Numbers 21:8,9

Thank you Selam. I thought serpent/smnake is the servant of Devil/satan that misled Hawwa and many others. I didn't know it has respect in Christian religion.
