Numbers:21:4-9

*
And they pulled up from Mount Hor by the way to the Sea of Reeds ,
to go around the land of Edom .
And the soul of the people became impatient because of the way .
*
And the people spoke against God ,
and against Moses ,
Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness ?
For there is no bread ,
and there is no water ;
and our soul hates this light bread .
*
And Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people ;
and they bit the people ,
and many people of Israel died .
*
And the people came in to Moses and said ,
We have sinned ,
for we have spoken against Jehovah ,
and against you .
Pray to Jehovah ,
and He shall turn the serpent away from us .
And Moses prayed on behalf of the people .
*
And Jehovah spoke to Moses ,
Make yourself a fiery serpent ,
and set it on a pole ;
and it shall be that when anyone is bitten ,
when he sees it ,
he shall live .
*
And Moses made a serpent of bronze and put it on a pole ;
and it happened ,
if a serpent had bitten any man ,
when he looked to the bronze serpent ,
he lived .
