Numbers 21:6-8

Lexham English Bible

The Bronze Serpent

⁶ And Yahweh sent among the people poisonous snakes; they bit the people, and many people from Israel died. ⁷ The people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned because we have spoken against Yahweh and against you. Pray to Yahweh and let him remove the snakes^[a] from among us.” So Moses prayed for the people. ⁸ And Yahweh said to Moses, “Make for yourself a snake and place it on a pole. When^[b] anyone is bitten and looks at it, that person will live.”
