Should Destruction of Nehushtan be on the list of "Depicting an Idol"?

Have you checked the REG?
Have you looked it up in ORCID?

Was it actually an idol?  It was not what it was intended to be, but what it was in the end.

It seems that the Israelites were burning incense to the snake, but I'm not sure I would call that an idol by Redemption definitions.  It currently is labeled correctly as False Religious Practice because we know they should not have been making those offerings to it, as that took attention away from God and onto the object.  However, this was the bronze snake of Moses, and there does not seem to be an indication that it was being treated as a god, or representation of one.  Instead, it seems to be part of some false worship practices that went against Jewish law and offended God.

I would say that it does not depict an idol therefore, since there is no indication Nehushtan was being treated as, or represented, a god to those worshiping at it.
