5 And the people aspoke 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 soul1 loathes this worthless bread.”
6 So athe Lord sent bfiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died.
7 aTherefore the people came to Moses, and said, “We have bsinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; cpray to the Lord that He take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.
8 Then the Lord said to Moses, a“Make a bfiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.”
9 So aMoses 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.
