Numbers 21:4-20

4And they journeyedH5265 from mountH2022 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 againstH1696 GodH430, and againstH1696 MosesH4872, Wherefore have ye broughtH5927 usH3588 upH5927 outH4100 of EgyptH4714 to dieH4191 in the wildernessH4057? for there is noH369 breadH3899, and there is noH369 waterH4325; and our soulH5315 loatheth this light breadH3899.

6And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 fiery serpentsH5175 among the peopleH5971, and they bit the peopleH5971; and muchH7227 peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 diedH4191.

7And the peopleH5971 cameH935 to MosesH4872, and saidH559, WeH3588 have sinnedH2398, becauseH3588 weH3588 have spokenH1696 againstH5921 the LORDH3068, and againstH5921 thee; prayH6419 unto the LORDH3068, that he takeH5493 awayH5493 the serpentsH5175 from usH413. And MosesH4872 prayedH6419 for the peopleH5971.

8And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, MakeH7760 thee a fiery serpent, and setH7760 it uponH5921 a standardH5251: and it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, that everyH3605 one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live.

9And MosesH4872 madeH6213 a serpentH5175 of brassH5178, and setH7760 it uponH5921 the standardH5251: and it cameH1961 to passH1961, that ifH518 a serpentH5175 had bitten anyH376 manH376, when he lookedH5027 unto the serpentH5175 of brassH5178, he livedH1961.

10And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265, and pitchedH2583 in ObothH88.

11And they journeyedH5265 from ObothH88, and pitchedH2583 at Iye-abarimH5863, in the wildernessH4057 whichH834 is beforeH6440 MoabH4124, towardH5921 the sunrisingH4217.

12From thence they journeyedH5265, and pitchedH2583 in the valleyH5158 of ZeredH2218.

13From thence they journeyedH5265, and pitchedH2583 on the otherH5676 sideH5676 of ArnonH769, whichH834 is in the wildernessH4057, that cometh outH3318 of the borderH1366 of the AmoritesH567: for ArnonH769 is the borderH1366 of MoabH4124, betweenH996 MoabH4124 and the AmoritesH567.

14Wherefore it is saidH559 in the bookH5612 of the WarsH4421 of the LORDH3068, Vaheb in Suphah, And the valleysH5158 of ArnonH769,

15And the slopeH793 of the valleysH5158 That inclineth toward the dwellingH3427 of ArH6144, And leaneth uponH3427 the borderH1366 of MoabH4124.

16And from thence they journeyed to BeerH876: that is the wellH875 whereof the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, GatherH622 the peopleH5971 togetherH622, and I will giveH5414 them waterH4325.

17Then sangH7891 IsraelH3478 this songH7892: SpringH5927 upH5927, O wellH875; singH7891 ye unto it:

18The wellH875, which the princesH8269 digged, Which the noblesH5081 of the peopleH5971 delved, With the sceptre, and with their staves. And from the wildernessH4057 they journeyed to 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, whichH834 looketh downH8259 uponH5921 the desertH3452.
