6 The LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died. 7 The people came to Moses, and said, |We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD, and against you. Pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us.| Moses prayed for the people. 8 The LORD said to Moses, |Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard: and it shall happen, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.| 9 Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the standard: and it happened, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of bronze, he lived.
