Moses and the Bronze Snake eBook cover

About this story

Eli feels tired and tells Mum he needs a rest. Join Eli, Maya and Mum as they read the Bible account of Moses and the bronze snake: a difficult wilderness journey, the people’s complaints, dangerous snakes, a request for prayer and God’s particular instruction to Moses. Moses prays, makes a bronze snake and places it on a pole. The account says bitten people who look at it live. Separate modern family scenes encourage children to name their needs, ask caring people for support and make room for questions and rest. This 29-page digital edition includes fourteen distinct illustrated scenes, Bible references beneath relevant story passages, seven discussion questions, My Little Caring Plan, a short prayer and two activities: Help and Rest and Made or Living? The account includes bites and deaths, named gently without pictures of wounds or death. Grown-up notes support reading its difficult context together and distinguish ordinary childhood tiredness, worry or illness from punishment. The bronze snake belongs to this particular Bible account; looking at an object is not medical treatment, and prayer must not delay medical care. The PDF has searchable interior text. The matching fixed-layout EPUB preserves the illustrated pages and requires a compatible EPUB 3 reader.
