("He made for you a bronze image, a molten image, for so it is written. For a miracle, that it may be high and all may fear it. And many were astonished and said, Because this is the image to receive the power of the higher powers. And it is a curse, because the thing was done by the command of the Lord, and we have no need to search for why you made a bronze image. And if it is not so, let us see if there is a tree that sweetens the water. The bitter? Even the dew will not soothe them! ...and the truth, for the knowledge of the Most High has been lifted up from him" - Ibn Ezra in Midbar 21:8)
