John 3:14-15 Alternative Reading From Vic Alexander's Translation From The Ancient Aramaic

14. "And just as Moses lifted the darkness by the light of life, this is how you should glorify* (lift up) the Son of Man. 15. "So that every human [being] who believes in him does not [go to] oblivion, except that they may have life everlasting* (to [the end of] the universe)."

Moses lifted the darkness from Jacob/Israel by teaching the five books of the Torah and the two tablets of the Ten Commandments. These are "the Light of Life" by which Moses lifted the darkness. The Son of Man given for our redemption should so be so glorified--lifted up--for people's eternal salvation.

Knowing the confusion caused by the Hebrew words for brightness and serpents (I advise reading Bullinger's The Companion Bible Appendix 19 on the Serpent of Genesis 3), I can see how the Greek translation of the Aramaic original got so mixed up.
