4. Mosebok 21,4

EsauEdomMount HorRed Sea
Exhaustion

2 Da avla Israel et løfte til Herren og sa: «Hvis du virkelig gir dette folket i våre hender, skal vi fullstendig ødelegge deres byer.»

3 Herren hørte Israels bønn og overga kanaanittene til dem. De ødela dem og deres byer fullstendig, og stedet ble kalt Horma.

De reiste fra fjellet Hor langs veien til Rødehavet for å omgå Edoms land; men folket ble utålmodige underveis.

5 Folket talte mot Gud og Moses og sa: «Hvorfor har dere ført oss opp fra Egypt for å dø i ørkenen? Det er ikke brød, det er ikke vann, og vi avskyr denne elendige maten!»

6 Da sendte Herren brennende slanger blant folket, og de bet folket, så mange israelitter døde.
