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.”
