6 In response, the LORD sent poisonous serpents among the people to bite them. As a result, many people of Israel died. 7 Then the people approached Moses and admitted, |We've sinned by speaking against the LORD and you. Pray to the LORD, that he'll remove the serpents from us.| So Moses prayed in behalf of the people. 8 Then the LORD instructed Moses, |Make a poisonous serpent out of brass and fasten it to a pole. Anyone who has been bitten and who looks at it will live.| 9 So Moses made a bronze serpent and fastened it to a pole. If a person who had been bitten by a poisonous serpent looked to the serpent, he lived. Numbers 21:6-9, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
