Numbers 21 · Grade 3

Look and Live

Read the Story

The people became impatient on the long road around Edom. They spoke against God and Moses. They said there was no bread and no water, and they hated the food.

Yahweh sent venomous snakes among them, and many died. The people came to Moses and said, We have sinned. Pray to Yahweh. So Moses prayed for the people.

God said, Make a snake and set it on a pole. Moses made a serpent of bronze. When anyone who was bitten looked at it, he lived. In John 3:14-15, Jesus said He must be lifted up the same way, so whoever believes in Him will have eternal life.

Memory Verse

“Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the pole. If a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked at the serpent of bronze, he lived.”
