Numbers 21:2-9

2And IsraelH3478 vowedH5087 a vowH5088 unto YhwhH3068, and saidH559, If thou wilt indeedH5414 deliverH5414 this peopleH5971 into my handH3027, then I will utterly destroyH2763 their citiesH5892. 3And YhwhH3068 hearkenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of IsraelH3478, and delivered upH5414 the CanaanitesH3669; and they utterly destroyedH2763 them and their citiesH5892: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 HormahH2767.1

4And they journeyedH5265 from mountH2022 HorH2023 by the wayH1870 of the RedH5488 seaH3220, to compassH5437 the landH776 of EdomH123: and the soulH5315 of the peopleH5971 was much discouragedH7114 because of the wayH1870.2 5And the peopleH5971 spakeH1696 against GodH430, and against MosesH4872, Wherefore have ye brought us upH5927 out of EgyptH4714 to dieH4191 in the wildernessH4057? for there is no breadH3899, neither is there any waterH4325; and our soulH5315 loathethH6973 this lightH7052 breadH3899. 6And YhwhH3068 sentH7971 fieryH8314 serpentsH5175 among the peopleH5971, and they bitH5391 the peopleH5971; and muchH7227 peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 diedH4191.

7Therefore the peopleH5971 cameH935 to MosesH4872, and saidH559, We have sinnedH2398, for we have spokenH1696 against YhwhH3068, and against thee; prayH6419 unto YhwhH3068, that he take awayH5493 the serpentsH5175 from us. And MosesH4872 prayedH6419 for the peopleH5971. 8And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, MakeH6213 thee a fiery serpentH8314, and setH7760 it upon a poleH5251: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bittenH5391, when he lookethH7200 upon it, shall liveH2425. 9And MosesH4872 madeH6213 a serpentH5175 of brassH5178, and putH7760 it upon a poleH5251, and it came to pass, that if a serpentH5175 had bittenH5391 any manH376, when he beheldH5027 the serpentH5175 of brassH5178, he livedH2425.
