>>and the Bronze serpent on the pole?<<

And what were they commanded to do with that serpent when they began to "venerate" it?

Well seeing as we don’t worship any of these your point is moot (2nd definition).

Since no answer will be forthcoming from a Catholic, they were commanded to look at it. Never commanded to bow before it and pray to it.

He sure had plenty to say to Israel for doing this stuff....

Deut. 12:3-4:

“And you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and burn their wooden images with fire; you shall cut down the carved images of their gods and destroy their names from that place....”You shall not worship the LORD your God with such things.”
