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.”

From Mount Hor to Moab
10 Now the children of Israel moved on and acamped in Oboth.
11 And they journeyed from Oboth and camped at Ije Abarim, in the wilderness which is east of Moab, toward the sunrise.
12 aFrom there they moved and camped in the Valley of Zered.
13 From there they moved and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites; for athe Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord:
“Waheb in Suphah,
The brooks of the Arnon,
“Waheb in Suphah,
The brooks of the Arnon,
16 From there they went ato Beer, which is the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
18 The well the leaders sank,
Dug by the nation’s nobles,
By the alawgiver, with their staves.” And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah,
Dug by the nation’s nobles,
By the alawgiver, with their staves.” And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah,
19 from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 and from Bamoth, in the valley that is in the1 country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah which looks adown on the wasteland.
