The Brass Snake
4 Then they traveled from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. And the people wanted to give up because of the long way. 5 They spoke against God and Moses, saying, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the desert? For there is no food and no water. And we hate this bad food.” 6 Then the Lord sent snakes with a bite of poison among the people. They bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.
