Numbers:21:4-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea ,
to compass 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 : '
Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness ?
for there is no bread ,
and there is no 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 .
*
And the people came to Moses ,
and said : '
We have sinned ,
because 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 seeth it ,
shall live .'
*
And Moses made a serpent of brass ,
and set it upon the pole ;
and it came to pass ,
that if a serpent had bitten any man ,
when he looked unto the serpent of brass ,
he lived .
