Numbers 21:4-6

Lexham English Bible

⁴ They set out from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea^[a] to go around the land of Edom; but the people became impatient^[b] along the way. ⁵ The people spoke against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us from Egypt to die in the desert? There is no food and no water, and our hearts detest this miserable food.”

⁶ And Yahweh sent among the people poisonous snakes; they bit the people, and many people from Israel died.
