Numbers 21:5-6

⁵וידבר העם באלהים ובמשה למה העליתנו ממצרים למות במדבר כי אין לחם ואין מים ונפשנו קצה בלחם הקלקל:

⁶וישלח יהוה בעם את הנחשים השרפים וינשכו את העם וימת עם רב מישראל:a

Numbers 21 recounts Israel's continued journey through the wilderness, marked by both victory and severe judgment. It opens with a triumph over the Canaanites, but quickly shifts to the people's renewed grumbling against God and Moses, leading to a plague of poisonous snakes. God provides a unique remedy through a bronze serpent, foreshadowing Christ's redemptive work. The chapter concludes with Israel's successful military campaigns against Sihon and Og, securing territory east of the Jordan, demonstrating God's faithfulness despite their failures.
