When Jesus explained the cross, he reached back to the serpent Moses lifted in the wilderness. But open the Numbers passage he is quoting. Your Bible, following the later Hebrew, says Moses set it on a pole. The Greek Old Testament the apostles actually read does not say a bare pole.

It is a sign lifted over the whole dying world.
