Numbers 21:6 in Context — Numbers 21
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.
8 L’Éternel dit à Moïse: Fais-toi un serpent brûlant, et place-le sur une perche; quiconque aura été mordu, et le regardera, conservera la vie.
