Numbers 21:2-9

2And IsraelH3478 vowedH5087 a vowH5088 unto Jehovah, and saidH559, If thou wilt indeed deliver this peopleH5971 into my handH3027, then I will utterly destroyH2763 their citiesH5892. 3And Jehovah hearkened to the voiceH6963 of IsraelH3478, and delivered up the CanaanitesH3669; and they utterly destroyed them and their citiesH5892: and the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 was calledH7121 HormahH2767.

4And they journeyed from mount HorH2023 by the wayH1870 to the Red SeaH3220, to compass the landH776 of EdomH123: and the soulH5315 of the peopleH5971 was much discouraged because of the wayH1870. 5And the peopleH5971 spake against GodH430, and against MosesH4872, Wherefore have ye broughtH5927 us up out of EgyptH4714 to dieH4191 in the wildernessH4057? for there is no breadH3899, and there is no waterH4325; and our soulH5315 loatheth this light breadH3899. 6And Jehovah sentH7971 fiery serpents among the peopleH5971, and they bit the peopleH5971; and muchH7227 peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 diedH4191. 7And the peopleH5971 cameH935 to MosesH4872, and saidH559, We have sinnedH2398, because we have spokenH1696 against Jehovah, and against thee; prayH6419 unto Jehovah, that he take awayH5493 the serpents from us. And MosesH4872 prayedH6419 for the peopleH5971. 8And Jehovah saidH559 unto MosesH4872, MakeH7760 thee a fiery serpent, and setH7760 it upon a standardH5251: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live. 9And MosesH4872 madeH6213 a serpent of brass, and setH7760 it upon the standardH5251: and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any manH376, when he lookedH5027 unto the serpent of brass, he lived.
