STRONGS H5180: Abbreviations
† נְחֻשְׁתָּן proper name, feminine given to bronze serpent 2 Kings 18:4 probably = bronze-god (so Thes, see also BauSemitic Rel. i. 288; compare נְחַשׁ נְחשֶׁת 2 Kings 18:4; Numbers 21:9 (twice in verse)); — chief arguments against this are vocalization of Νεσθαλει, A Νε(ε)σθαν, and comparative unimportance of material of which image was made; others think of נָחָשׁ serpent (NöZMG xlii (1888), 482 תן + נחשׁ, Kloon the passage יתן + נחשׁ); LagBN 188, 205 thinks loan-word.
