Numbers 21:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ Then the Lord sent snakes among the people. They bit the people and many of the Israelites died. ⁷ So the people came to Moses and they said, ‘We did a bad thing when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Please pray to the Lord on our behalf. Ask him to remove the snakes from us.’ So Moses prayed for the people.

⁸ The Lord said to Moses, ‘Make a model of a snake and put it up high on a pole. When a snake bites anyone, they must look at the bronze snake. Then they will not die.’
