6Then the Lord sent poison-snakes among the people; and their bites were a cause of death to numbers of the people of Israel.
7Then the people came to Moses and said, We have done wrong in crying out against the Lord and against you: make prayer to the Lord to take away the snakes from us. So Moses made prayer for the people.
8And the Lord said to Moses, Make an image of a snake and put it on a rod, and anyone who has been wounded by the snakes, looking on it will be made well.
9So Moses made a snake of brass and put it on a rod; and anyone who had a snakebite, after looking on the snake of brass, was made well.
10Then the children of Israel went on and put up their tents in Oboth.
11And journeying on again from Oboth, they put up their tents in Iye-abarim, in the waste land before Moab looking east.
12And moving on from there, they put up their tents in the valley of Zered.
