Numbers 21:10-20

10Now the sons of Israel moved out and camped at Oboth.

11They journeyed on from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness facing Moab, toward the sunrise.

12From there they set out and camped in the Wadi Zered.

13From there they journeyed on and camped on the other side of [the river] Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the boundary of the Amorites; for [the river] Arnon is the boundary of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.

14That is why it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord: “Waheb in Suphah, And the wadis of the Arnon [River],

15And the slope of the wadis That stretches toward the site of Ar And leans to the border of Moab.”

16From there the Israelites went on to Beer, that is the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together and I will give them water.”

17Then Israel sang this song, “Spring up, O well! Sing to it,

18The well which the leaders dug, Which the nobles of the people hollowed out With the scepter and with their staffs.” And from the wilderness Israel journeyed to Mattanah,

19and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

20and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah which looks down on the wasteland.
