The people beg for forgiveness and ask Moses to pray for them. At God’s command, Moses makes a serpent of brass and raises it upon a pole; those who have been bitten and look upon it are healed. The Latin inscription below the image refers to the biblical scene in Numbers 21. The plate is signed at the lower left corner: “Crisp. de Pass / Inuen. scul. et excud.”, identifying Crispijn de Passe the Elder as inventor, engraver and publisher.
