The people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD and against you.
Pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us.”
Moses prayed for the people.
The LORD said to Moses, “Make a venomous snake, and set it on a pole.
It shall happen that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.”
Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the pole.
If a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked at the serpent of bronze, he lived.
The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in Oboth.
