I beg to differ. For my opinion, during Moses time is also an
idolatry, but it is accepted.
So, I see this is a change in Israel moral standard of what is allowed
and what is not allowed. Previously during Moses time, it is allowed
to treat Serpent Brass as having power (to heal) is not considered as
idolatry (accepted). But later on, it not acceptable and considered as
idolatry.

So, I have quoted it properly. Now, could you please explain why
"Healed by a serpent brass" not considered as an idolatry?
