Numbers 21:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 21:8

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.

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.
