Numbers 21:4-7
4Then they set out from Mount Hor by the way of the 1Red Sea, to 2go around the land of Edom; and the 3people became impatient because of the journey.
5The people spoke against God and Moses, “4Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no 5food and no water, and 67we loathe this miserable food.”
68The Lord sent fiery serpents among the people and 9they bit the people, so that 10many people of Israel died.
711So the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and you; 12intercede with the Lord, that He may remove the serpents from us.” And Moses interceded for the people.
