6 So the Lord sent them poisonous snakes. They bit the people, and many of the Israelites died.
7 The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we grumbled at you and the Lord. Pray that the Lord will take away these snakes.” So Moses prayed for the people.
8 The Lord said to Moses, “Make a bronze snake. And put it on a pole. If anyone is bitten, he should look at it. Then he will live.”
9 So Moses made a bronze snake. And he put it on a pole. Then when a snake bit anyone, he looked at the bronze snake and lived.
10 The Israelites went and camped at Oboth.
11 They went from Oboth to Iye Abarim. This was in the desert east of Moab.
12 From there they went and camped in the Zered Valley.
