Numbers 21:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ Therefore the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned. For we have spoken against the LORD and against You. Pray to the LORD that He take away the serpents from us.” And Moses prayed for the people.

⁸ And the LORD said to Moses, “Make yourself a fiery serpent; and set it up for a sign, so that as many as are bitten may look upon it and live.”

⁹ So Moses made a serpent of brass and set it up for a sign. And when a serpent had bitten a man, then he looked to the serpent of brass and lived.
