6 So the Lord sent poisonous snakes among the people and they bit the people. Many of the Israelites died.
7 The people went to Moses and said, "We’ve sinned, for we spoke against the Lord and you. Pray to the Lord so that he will send the snakes away from us." So Moses prayed for the people.
8 The Lord said to Moses, "Make a poisonous snake and place it on a pole. Whoever is bitten can look at it and live."
9 Moses made a bronze snake and placed it on a pole. If a snake bit someone, that person could look at the bronze snake and live.
10 Then the Israelites marched and they camped at Oboth.
11 They marched from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the desert on the border of Moab toward the east.
12 From there they marched and camped in the Zered ravine.
