Numbers 21:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

⁵ They began complaining against God and Moses. The people said, “Why did you bring us out of Egypt? We will die here in the desert! There is no bread and no water! And we hate this terrible food!”

⁶ So the Lord sent poisonous snakes among the people. The snakes bit the people, and many of the Israelites died. ⁷ The people came to Moses and said, “We know that we sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray to the Lord. Ask him to take away these snakes.” So Moses prayed for them.
