Numbers 21

Numbers 21 records warfare, judgment, healing, travel, and victory. After Israel defeats the Canaanite king of Arad, renewed complaining brings fiery serpents. The people confess their sin, Moses intercedes, and God commands a brazen serpent to be lifted up so that anyone bitten may look and live. Israel then moves north and east, sings over a well, requests passage from Sihon, defeats the Amorites, and conquers Og of Bashan. The generation once afraid of Canaan now begins experiencing victory under God.
