Numbers 21:4-7
4Then they setH5265 outH5265 from MountH2022 HorH2023 by the wayH1870 of the 1RedH5488 SeaH3220, to 2goH5437 aroundH5437 the landH776 of EdomH112; and the 3peopleH5315H5971 becameH7114 impatientH7114 because of the journeyH1870.
5So the peopleH5971 spokeH1696 against GodH430 and MosesH4872: “4WhyH4100 have you broughtH5927 us upH5927 from EgyptH4714 to dieH4191 in the wildernessH4057? For thereH369 isH369 noH369 5foodH3899 and noH369 waterH4325, and 67we are disgustedH6973 with 8this miserableH7052 foodH3899.”
69Then the LordH3068 sentH7971 fieryH8314 serpentsH8314 among the peopleH5971 and 10they bitH5391 the peopleH5971, so that 11manyH7227 peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 diedH4191.
712So the peopleH5971 cameH935 to MosesH4872 and saidH559, “We have sinnedH2398, becauseH3588 we have spokenH1696 against the LordH3068 and against you; 13intercedeH6419 with the LordH3068, that He will removeH5493 the serpentsH5175 from us.” And MosesH4872 intercededH6419 for the peopleH5971.
