Arad Destroyed

21 When ^(A)the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in ^(B)the Negeb, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive. ²^(C)And Israel vowed a vow to the Lord and said, “If you will indeed give this people into my hand, then I will devote their cities to destruction.”^[a] ³And the Lord heeded the voice of Israel and gave over the Canaanites, and they devoted them and their cities to destruction. So the name of the place was called ^(D)Hormah.^[b]

The Bronze Serpent

⁴From Mount Hor ^(E)they set out by the way to the Red Sea, ^(F)to go around the land of Edom. And the people became impatient on the way. ⁵And the people ^(G)spoke against God and against Moses, ^(H)“Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and ^(I)we loathe this worthless food.” ⁶^(J)Then the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and ^(K)they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died. ⁷^(L)And the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you. ^(M)Pray to the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. ⁸And the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.” ⁹So ^(N)Moses made a bronze^[c] serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.
