New American Standard Bible 1995 NASB95
New International Version NIV
6 The LORD sent fiery serpents among the people and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.
6
Then the LORD sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died.
7 So the people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD and you; intercede with the LORD , that He may remove the serpents from us." And Moses interceded for the people.
7
The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the LORD and against you. Pray that the LORD will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.
8 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will live."
8
The LORD said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.”
