Seems to me that a principle of temperance is being conveyed.Bronze itself has its own connotations. Bronze is the also referred to as brazen or brass. Bronze is a somewhat inferior quality of metal to silver and gold.
It is the making of the altar in Exodus which the priests would slay the animal sacrifices. Exodus gives instructions that the items inside of the Tabernacle (the menorah, incense altar, show bread table, and the Ark of the Covenant in the most Holy) were to be made of gold, but everything outside the tent was bronze. So we have a bronze outer court and a gold inner sanctuary.
I believe there are a lot of hints given by the choosing of bronze as the material to make the articles.
Numbers 21:9
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
Nehushtan (Hebrew: נחשתן Nəḥuštān [nəħuʃtaːn]) is the derogatory name given to the bronze serpent When the Jews crucified Yeshua, lifted him up on the pole, He, in their eyes was evil. To them he represented a serpent. Nāḥāš, Hebrew for "snake", is associated with divination, including the verb form meaning "to practice divination or fortune-telling". So the truth becomes a lie in the ears of the religious leaders. Yeshua's prophecies scared them. It is the negative photo before process. So I could tie the outer court application in the redemption from sin with brass used, and with that the brass serpent on the pole.
Those that killed our Lord are distinguished from those who are healed by Yeshua's loving sacrifice for his friends.
Where the leaders at the time called good evil and used a corrupt roman judicial system to convict a sentence of death.
The Lord defeated such death.
Colossians 2:15
Blessed be The Holy One
