New American Standard Bible 1995

The Bronze Serpent

^6 (A)The Lord sent fiery serpents among the people and ^(B)they bit the people, so that ^(C)many people of Israel died. ^7 (D)So the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and you; ^(E)intercede with the Lord, that He may remove the serpents from us.” And Moses interceded for the people. ⁸ Then the Lord said to Moses, “^[a]Make a ^(F)fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will live.”
