Numbers 21:6-8

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁶ And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died.

⁷ Then 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 these serpents from among us. And Moses prayed for the people.

⁸ And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent and lift it up as a banner, and it shall be that anyone that is bitten and looks upon it shall live.
