Numbers 21:7 YLT

⁵  and the people speak against God, and against Moses, 'Why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to die in a wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water, and our soul hath been weary of this light bread.'

⁶  And Jehovah sendeth among the people the burning serpents, and they bite the people, and much people of Israel die;

⁷  and the people come in unto Moses and say, 'We have sinned, for we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee; pray unto Jehovah, and He doth turn aside from us the serpent;' and Moses prayeth in behalf of the people.

⁸  And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Make for thee a burning 'serpent', and set it on an ensign; and it hath been, every one who is bitten and hath seen it -- he hath lived.

⁹  And Moses maketh a serpent of brass, and setteth it on the ensign, and it hath been, if the serpent hath bitten any man, and he hath looked expectingly unto the serpent of brass -- he hath lived.
