How did God save the Israelites from snake bites?

God saved the Israelites from snake bites by instructing Moses to create a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. When anyone who had been bitten looked at the bronze serpent, they were healed and lived. This act symbolized faith and obedience, demonstrating that salvation came through trust in God's provision. The bronze serpent later served as a foreshadowing of healing and redemption in biblical themes.
