Verse 6 is found in chapter 21 of Numbers. Israel defeats the king of Arad after making a vow to God, but afterward the people again speak against God and Moses. Venomous snakes appear and many die. God commands a bronze serpent to be set up so that those who look at it may live. The episode combines judgment, confession, and an extraordinary means of preservation, showing that life comes from God even amid discipline caused by sin.
