“Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.”
The people came to Moses and said, 'We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you; pray to the LORD to take away the serpents from us.' So Moses prayed for the people — the people confess their sin explicitly, acknowledging rebellion against both God and Moses' leadership. They petition Moses to intercede; Moses' prayer is granted. The cycle of rebellion-judgment-repentance-intercession follows the pattern established throughout the wilderness period.
