Numbers 21:10-20

10Then the IsraelitesH1121H3478 set outH5265 and campedH2583 at ObothH88. 11They journeyedH5265 from ObothH88 and campedH2583 at Iye-abarimH5863 in the wildernessH4057 oppositeH5921 MoabH4124 to the eastH4217H8121. 12From thereH8033 they setH5265 out and campedH2583 in the ValleyH5158 of ZeredH2218. 13From thereH8033 they moved onH5265 and campedH2583 on the other sideH5676 of the ArnonH769, in the wildernessH4057 that extendsH3318 into the AmoriteH567 territoryH1366.

NowH3588 the ArnonH769 is the borderH1366 betweenH996 the MoabitesH4124 andH996 the AmoritesH567. 14ThereforeH5921H3651 it is statedH559 in the BookH5612 of the WarsH4421 of the LORDH3068:

“WahebH2052 in SuphahH5492andH853 the wadisH5158 of the ArnonH769,15even the slopesH793 of the wadisH5158thatH834 extendH5186 to the siteH3427 of ArH6144and lieH8172 along the borderH1366 of MoabH4124.”

16From thereH8033 they went on to BeerH876H1931,1 the wellH875 whereH834 the LORDH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “GatherH622 the peopleH5971 so that I may giveH5414 them waterH4325.” 17ThenH227 IsraelH3478 sangH7891 thisH2063 songH7892:

“Spring upH5927, O wellH875,all of you singH6030 to it!18The princesH8269 dugH2658 the wellH875;the noblesH5081 of the peopleH5971 hollowed it outH3738with their sceptersH2710and with their staffsH4938.”

From the wildernessH4057 the Israelites went on to MattanahH4980, 19and from MattanahH4980 to NahalielH5160, and from NahalielH5160 to BamothH1120, 20and from BamothH1120 to the valleyH1516 in MoabH4124 where the topH7218 of PisgahH6449 overlooksH8259H5921H6440 the wastelandH3452.2
