Numbers 21:3-5
International Standard Version
3 When the Lord heard what Israel had decided to do,[a] he delivered the Canaanites to them, and Israel[b] exterminated them and their cities. They named the place Hormah.[c]
The Bronze Serpent
4 After this, they traveled from Mount Hor along the caravan route by way of the Sea of Reeds and went around the land of Edom. But when the people got impatient because it was a long route, 5 the people complained against the Lord and Moses. “Why did you bring us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?” they asked. “There’s no food[d] and water, and we’re tired of this worthless bread.”[e]
