Numbers 21:4-7

[4] And they journeyed  from mount  Hor  by the way  of the Red  sea,  to compass  the land  of Edom:  and the soul  of the people  was much discouraged  because of the way.  [5] And the people  spake  against God,  and against Moses,  Wherefore have ye brought us up  out of Egypt  to die  in the wilderness?  for there is no bread,  neither is there any water;  and our soul  loatheth  this light  bread.  [6] And the LORD  sent  fiery  serpents  among the people,  and they bit  the people;  and much  people  of Israel  died.  [7] Therefore the people  came  to Moses,  and said,  We have sinned,  for we have spoken  against the LORD,  and against thee; pray  unto the LORD,  that he take away  the serpents  from us. And Moses  prayed  for the people.
