Numbers 21:6-8

21st Century King James Version

⁶ And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died.

⁷ Therefore the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against thee. Pray unto the Lord, that He take away the serpents from us.” And Moses prayed for the people.

⁸ And the Lord said unto Moses, “Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole. And it shall come to pass that every one who is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.”
