Números 21:4-9

Listen to Números 21:4-9
4 Partieron del monte de Hor, por el camino del mar Rojo, para rodear la tierra de Edom, y el pueblo se impacientó por causa del viaje.
5 Y el pueblo habló contra Dios y Moisés: ¿Por qué nos habéis sacado de Egipto para morir en el desierto? Pues no hay comida ni agua, y detestamos este alimento tan miserable.
6 Y el SEÑOR envió serpientes abrasadoras entre el pueblo, y mordieron al pueblo, y mucha gente de Israel murió.
7 Entonces el pueblo vino a Moisés y dijo: Hemos pecado, porque hemos hablado contra el SEÑOR y contra ti; intercede con el SEÑOR para que quite las serpientes de entre nosotros. Y Moisés intercedió por el pueblo.
8 Y el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Hazte una serpiente abrasadora y ponla sobre un asta; y acontecerá que cuando todo el que sea mordido la mire, vivirá.
9 Y Moisés hizo una serpiente de bronce y la puso sobre el asta; y sucedía que cuando una serpiente mordía a alguno, y éste miraba a la serpiente de bronce, vivía.
