Numbers 21:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ 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 neither bread nor water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread.”

⁶ Therefore the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, which bit the people, so that many of the people of Israel died.

⁷ 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.” And Moses prayed for the people.
