Números 21:4-9

Listen to Números 21:4-9

A Serpente de Bronze

4 Partiram eles do monte Hor pelo caminho do mar Vermelho, para contornarem a terra de Edom. Mas o povo ficou impaciente no caminho
5 e falou contra Deus e contra Moisés, dizendo: “Por que vocês nos tiraram do Egito para morrermos no deserto? Não há pão! Não há água! E nós detestamos esta comida miserável!”
6 EntĂŁo o SENHOR enviou serpentes venenosas que morderam o povo, e muitos morreram.
7 O povo foi a Moisés e disse: “Pecamos quando falamos contra o SENHOR e contra você. Ore pedindo ao SENHOR que tire as serpentes do meio de nós”. E Moisés orou pelo povo.
8 O SENHOR disse a Moisés: “Faça uma serpente e coloque-a no alto de um poste; quem for mordido e olhar para ela viverá”.
9 Moisés fez então uma serpente de bronze e a colocou num poste. Quando alguém era mordido por uma serpente e olhava para a serpente de bronze, permanecia vivo.
