⁵ and ·grumbled at [^Lspoke against] God and Moses. They said, “Why did you bring us out of Egypt to die in this ·desert [wilderness]? There is no bread and no water, and we hate this terrible food!”

⁶ So the Lord sent them ·poisonous [^Lburning] snakes; they bit the people, and many of the ·Israelites [^Lpeople from Israel] died. ⁷ The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we ·grumbled at [spoke against] you and the Lord. Pray that the Lord will take away these snakes.” So Moses prayed for the people.
