Numbers:21:5-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the people spake against God ,
and against Moses ,
Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness ?
for there is no bread ,
neither is there any water ;
and our soul loatheth this light bread .
*
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people ,
and they bit the people ;
and much people of Israel died .
*
Therefore the people came to Moses ,
and said ,
We have sinned ,
for we have spoken against the LORD ,
and against thee ;
pray unto the LORD ,
that he take away the serpents from us .
And Moses prayed for the people .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Make thee a fiery serpent ,
and set it upon a pole :
and it shall come to pass ,
that every one that is bitten ,
when he looketh upon it ,
shall live .
*
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 .
