Numbers 21:5 in Context — Numbers 21

3 L’Éternel entendit la voix d’Israël, et livra les Cananéens. On les dévoua par interdit, eux et leurs villes; et l’on nomma ce lieu Horma.

4 Ils partirent de la montagne de Hor par le chemin de la mer Rouge, pour contourner le pays d’Édom. Le peuple s’impatienta en route,

5 et parla contre Dieu et contre Moïse: Pourquoi nous avez-vous fait monter hors d’Égypte, pour que nous mourions dans le désert? Car il n’y a point de pain, et il n’y a point d’eau, et notre âme est dégoûtée de cette misérable nourriture.

6 Alors l’Éternel envoya contre le peuple des serpents brûlants; ils mordirent le peuple, et il mourut beaucoup de gens en Israël.

7 Le peuple vint à Moïse, et dit: Nous avons péché, car nous avons parlé contre l’Éternel et contre toi. Prie l’Éternel, afin qu’il éloigne de nous ces serpents. Moïse pria pour le peuple.
