18: They shall take up serpents: and if they shall drink any deadly
thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay their hand upon the sick:
and they shall recover.
They shall take up serpents. When it is necessary for the sake of establishing religion, they shall handle poisonous reptiles without injury: thus showing that God was with him, to keep them from harm. This was literally fulfilled when Paul shook the viper from his hand. See Acts 28:5, Acts 28:6.
Any deadly thing. Any poison usually causing death.
Shall not hurt them. There is a similar promise in Isa 43:2.
They shall lay hands on the sick, etc. See instances of this in the Acts of the Apostles, Acts 3:6, Acts 3:7, Acts 5:15, etc.
