3 And the Lord heeded the voice of Israel and gave over the Canaanites, and they devoted them and their cities to destruction. So the name of the place was called (A)Hormah.[a]
The Bronze Serpent
4 From Mount Hor (B)they set out by the way to the Red Sea, (C)to go around the land of Edom. And the people became impatient on the way. 5 And the people (D)spoke against God and against Moses, (E)“Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and (F)we loathe this worthless food.”
