Numbers 21:6

The Bronze Snake

⁵ So then the people spake against God and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt, to die in the desert? for there is neither bread nor water, and our soul, doth loathe this contemptible bread! ⁶ And Yahweh sent among the people the poisonous serpents, and they bit the people, - and much people out of Israel died. ⁷ Then tame the people of Israel unto Moses and said - We have sinned in that we spake against Yahweh and against thee, Pray thou unto Yahweh, that he may take from us the serpent. So Moses prayed for the people.
