Numbers [In the desert] 21:4-16

⁴They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Sea of Suf Reed Sea, to go around the land of Edom Red The soul of the people was very discouraged because of the journey.

⁵The people spoke against God, and against Moses Drawn out, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt Abode of slavery to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loathes this light bread.” (LY:6)

⁶Adonai sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people. Many people of Israel God prevails died.

⁷The people came to Moses Drawn out, and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against Adonai , and against you. Pray to Adonai , that he take away the serpents from us.” Moses Drawn out prayed for the people.

⁸Adonai said to Moses Drawn out, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it up on a pole. It shall happen, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.”

⁹Moses Drawn out made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the pole. If a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked at the serpent of bronze, he lived.

¹⁰The children of Israel God prevails traveled, and encamped in Oboth.

¹¹They traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab From father, toward the sunrise.

¹²From there they traveled, and encamped in the valley of Zered.

¹³From there they traveled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that comes out of the border of the Amorites Descendants of Talkers: for the Arnon is the border of Moab From father, between Moab From father and the Amorites Descendants of Talkers.

¹⁴Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Adonai , “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,

¹⁵the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab From father.”

¹⁶From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which Adonai said to Moses Drawn out, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
