Numbers 21:6-9
Complete Jewish Bible
(LY: vi) 6 In response, Adonai sent poisonous snakes among the people; they bit the people, and many of Isra’el’s people died. 7 The people came to Moshe and said, “We sinned by speaking against Adonai and against you. Pray to Adonai that he rid us of these snakes.” Moshe prayed for the people, 8 and Adonai answered Moshe: “Make a poisonous snake and put it on a pole. When anyone who has been bitten sees it, he will live.” 9 Moshe made a bronze snake and put it on the pole; if a snake had bitten someone, then, when he looked toward the bronze snake, he stayed alive.

Numbers 21:6-9
New International Version
6 Then the Lord sent venomous snakes(A) among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died.(B) 7 The people came to Moses(C) and said, “We sinned(D) when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord(E) will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed(F) for the people.
8 The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole;(G) anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze snake(H) and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.(I)
