Chumash Classes: Chukat, Part 8

After Aaron's death the clouds are removed and Amalek attacks, under the guise of being Canaanites. The people complain about G-d and Moshe and they are attacked and killed by snakes and scorpions. The admit their sin and G-d commands Moshe to make a copper snake that would cure those that were bitten, by looking up at the snake on a pole. (Ch. 21 verses 1 - 9)
