Numbers 21:6
_ _ The Lord sent fiery serpents among the people — That part of the desert where the Israelites now were — near the head of the gulf of Akaba — is greatly infested with venomous reptiles, of various kinds, particularly lizards, which raise themselves in the air and swing themselves from branches; and scorpions, which, being in the habit of lying in long grass, are particularly dangerous to the barelegged, sandaled people of the East. The only known remedy consists in sucking the wound, or, in the case of cattle, in the application of ammonia. The exact species of serpents that caused so great mortality among the Israelites cannot be ascertained. They are said to have been “fiery,” an epithet applied to them either from their bright, vivid color, or the violent inflammation their bite occasioned. |
Numbers 21:6
Fiery serpents — There were many such in this wilderness, which having been hitherto restrained by God, are now let loose and sent among them. They are called fiery from their effects, because their poison caused an intolerable heat and burning and thirst, which was aggravated with this circumstance of the place, that here was no water, Numbers 21:5. |
Numbers 21:6
And the LORD sent (d) fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
(d) For they that were bitten by them were so inflamed by the poison of them, that they died. |
Genesis 3:14- 15 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou [art] cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: ... And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Deuteronomy 8:15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, [ wherein were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where [ there was] no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
Isaiah 14:29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit [ shall be] a fiery flying serpent.
Isaiah 30:6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence [ come] the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people [ that] shall not profit [ them].
Jeremiah 8:17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which [ will] not [ be] charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
Amos 9:3- 4 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them: ... And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
1 Corinthians 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
