The people grumbled again, and snakes came into the camp and bit them. Ouch! People got very sick.
The people said, “We're sorry!” God told Moses, “Make a bronze snake and put it on a tall pole.”
Anyone who was bitten could look at the snake on the pole and be healed. All they had to do was look and trust God.
