6 So the LORD sent poisonous snakes among the people. They bit the people, and many of the Israelites died. 7 The people came to Moses and said, |We sinned when we criticized the LORD and you. Pray to the LORD so that he will take the snakes away from us.| So Moses prayed for the people. 8 The LORD said to Moses, |Make a snake, and put it on a pole. Anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.| 9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it on a pole. People looked at the bronze snake after they were bitten, and they lived.
