*
Then they journeyed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Red Sea ,
to go around the land of Edom ;
and the soul of the people became very discouraged on the way .
*
And the people spoke against God and against Moses : "
Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness ?
For there is no food and no water ,
and our soul loathes this worthless bread ."
*
So the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people ,
and they bit the people ;
and many of the people of Israel died .
*
Therefore the people came to Moses ,
and said , "
We have sinned ,
for we have spoken against the LORD and against you ;
pray to the LORD that He take away the serpents from us ."
So Moses prayed for the people .
*
Then the LORD said to Moses , "
Make a fiery serpent ,
and set it on a pole ;
and it shall be that everyone who is bitten ,
when he looks at it ,
shall live ."
*
So Moses made a bronze serpent ,
and put it on a pole ;
and so it was ,
if a serpent had bitten anyone ,
when he looked at the bronze serpent ,
he lived .
