4 From Mount Hor ^athey set out by the way to the Red Sea, ^bto go around the land of Edom. And the people became impatient on the way. 5 And the people ^cspoke against God and against Moses, ^d“Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and ^ewe loathe this worthless food.” 6 ^fThen the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and ^gthey bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.
