Numbers 21:6-9

New International Version

⁶ Then the Lord sent venomous snakes^(A) among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died.^{(B) 7} The people came to Moses^(C) and said, “We sinned^(D) when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord^(E) will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed^(F) for the people.

⁸ The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole;^(G) anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” ⁹ So Moses made a bronze snake^(H) and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.^(I)
