Today: [Numbers Chapter Twenty-One] Brazen Serpents and Singing Fountains. In chapter Moses and the people continue their wanderings. They are molested by neighboring tribes yet God defends them. They complain again about the Manna and are plagued by deadly serpents. Moses makes a brass serpent and those that look on it are healed. Jesus later says that He is this serpent. This is a very controversial metaphor. Is Jesus a snake? Then the people gather in thirst and instead of striking or speaking to the rock they sing to the rock and waters come forth.
