As the Israelites cross the desert they forget about the lord and complain. God then sent him snakes to help them be humble and remember him. Many people died and the lord told Moses to make a serpent of brass and tie it to a pole. When people were bitten and looked at the snake the lord saved them because he wanted them to trust him.
