Numbers 21:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ So the Lord sent poisonous serpents among the people, and they bit the people, and many children of Israel died. ⁷ So the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned for we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray to the Lord, and He will take away the serpents from us.” And Moses prayed for the people.

⁸ The Lord said to Moses, “Make a poisonous serpent, and put it on a pole, and it will be, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, will live.”
