Numbers 21:4-20
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.
10And the children of IsraelH3478 journeyed, and encampedH2583 in ObothH88. 11And they journeyed from ObothH88, and encampedH2583 at Iye-abarimH5863, in the wildernessH4057 which is before MoabH4124, toward the sunrising. 12From thence they journeyed, and encampedH2583 in the valley of ZeredH2218. 13From thence they journeyed, and encampedH2583 on the otherH5676 sideH5676 of the ArnonH769, which is in the wildernessH4057, that cometh out of the borderH1366 of the AmoritesH567: for the ArnonH769 is the borderH1366 of MoabH4124, between MoabH4124 and the AmoritesH567. 14Wherefore it is saidH559 in the bookH5612 of the WarsH4421 of Jehovah,
16And from thence they journeyed to BeerH876: that is the wellH875 whereof Jehovah saidH559 unto MosesH4872, GatherH622 the peopleH5971 together, and I will giveH5414 them waterH4325.
17ThenH227 sangH7891 IsraelH3478 this songH7892:
And from the wildernessH4057they journeyedto MattanahH4980; 19and from MattanahH4980 to NahalielH5160; and from NahalielH5160 to BamothH1120; 20and from BamothH1120 to the valleyH1516 that is in the fieldH7704 of MoabH4124, to the topH7218 of PisgahH6449, which looketh downH8259 upon the desert.
