Exegesis
The construct נְחַשׁ הַנְּחֹשֶׁת neḥaš hanĕḥōšeṯ {נְחַשׁ הַנְּחֹשֶׁת | neḥaš-ha-neḥōšeṯ} “the bronze serpent” is modified by the relative clause אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה מֹשֶׁה asher-asah moshe {אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה מֹשֶׁה | ʾăšer-ʿāśāh mōšē} “that Moses made.”
In context — 2 Kings 18:4
He removed the high places, broke the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah . He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses made, for until those days the Israelites burned incense to it, and he called it Nehushtan .
