Snakes

So the LORD sent venomous snakes among the people, and many of the Israelites were bitten and died.

Then the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you. Intercede with the LORD so He will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses interceded for the people.

He led you through the vast and terrifying wilderness with its venomous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty and waterless land. He brought you water from the rock of flint.

They sharpen their tongues like snakes; the venom of vipers is on their lips. Selah

“For behold, I will send snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you,” declares the LORD.

Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell?

…they will pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be made well.”

Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.

We should not test Christ, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.

For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; indeed, their tails were like snakes, having heads with which to inflict harm.
