A brazen serpent after many years the Israelite again tried to enter the land of Canaan. The searched for a route though a country called Edom. Moses sent messengers to the king of Edom saying please let us pass through your country we will not harm your land or your people we will work on the road not turning to the right or to the left we will not drink from your words or less we pay for the water we use but the king of Edom refused. So the Israelite had to go around Edom. While on this long detour, the people again found fault with Moses. They said, why have you brought us here? There is no water and bread except for this vile manna that we are tired of, we wish we were back in Egypt, the Lord sent poisonous snakes among the people, these were called fiery serpents, because their bite caused hot, violent swelling and thirst. Many people died from the 🐍 snake bites. Now the people saw their wickedness in speaking against Moses. For they were actually speaking against God. They confessed their sin and asked Mose to pray that the Lord would take away the 🐍 snake. Moses prayed for the people as he had done many times before. God heard Moses prayer and said, make a serpent and put it on the A pole where the people can see it. If those who are bitten look at the serpent on the pole, they will live. Moses obeyed God and made brass serpent. Those who looked at it were Healed .Numbers 20:14. 21:9

At that time the Israelite had been putting up brick buildings for the Egyptian rulers. They had been making their own brick from clay mixed with straw. Up until then the Egyptians had been providing the straw for making bricks. Now pharaoh said let them make just as many bricks as before, but give them no straw. Of course this made the Israelite backbreaking work almost unbearable. How could they ever find and gather enough straw and still make as many bricks each day as before? The Israelite become angry with Moses and Aaron. We brought you would set us free but now our Suffering is greater, they said Moses called upon the Lord and the Lord said.
