Numbers 21:6-9
New American Standard Bible 1995
The Bronze Serpent
6 (A)The Lord sent fiery serpents among the people and (B)they bit the people, so that (C)many people of Israel died. 7 (D)So the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and you; (E)intercede with the Lord, that He may remove the serpents from us.” And Moses interceded for the people. 8 Then the Lord said to Moses, “[a]Make a (F)fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will live.” 9 And Moses made a (G)bronze serpent and set it on the standard; and it came about, that if a serpent bit any man, when he looked to the bronze serpent, he lived.
