7. The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against Adonai and you! Pray to Adonai for us, that He may take away the snakes!” So Moses prayed for the people.
8. Adonai said to Moses, “Make yourself a fiery snake and put it on a pole. Whenever anyone who has been bitten will look at it, he will live.”
9. So Moses made a bronze snake and put it on a pole, and it happened that whenever a snake bit anyone and he looked at the bronze snake, he lived.
10. Bnei-Yisrael moved on and encamped at Oboth.
11. Then they set out from Oboth and camped in Ije-abarim, in the wilderness facing Moab toward the sunrise.
12. From there they set out and camped in the Wadi Zered.
13. They set out from there and camped along the Arnon, which is in the wilderness extending into Amorite territory. The Arnon is also the border between Moab and the Amorites.
14. Therefore, it is said in the Book of the Wars of Adonai, “...Vaheb in Suphah and the wadis of the Arnon,
15. and the slope of the wadis that leads to the site of Ar and lie along the border of Moab—”
16. And from there—on to Beer. This is the well where Adonai said to Moses, “Gather the people and I will give them water.”
17. Then Israel sang this song, “Spring up, O well! Sing about it!”
