Nombres 21:6-7

6καὶ ἀπέστειλεν κύριος εἰς τὸν λαὸν τοὺς ὄφεις τοὺς θανατοῦντας, καὶ ἔδακνον τὸν λαόν, καὶ ἀπέθανεν λαὸς πολὺς τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ.

7καὶ παραγενόμενος ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Μωυσῆν ἔλεγον ὅτι Ἡμάρτομεν ὅτι κατελαλήσαμεν κατὰ τοῦ κυρίου καὶ κατὰ σοῦ· εὖξαι οὖν πρὸς κύριον, καὶ ἀφελέτω ἀφ ἡμῶν τὸν ὄφιν. καὶ ηὔξατο Μωυσῆς πρὸς κύριον περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ.
