Numbers 21:4-20

4And they journeyed from mount HorH2023 by the wayH1870 of the Red seaH3220, to goH5437 roundH5437 the landH776 of EdomH123; and the soulH5315 of the peopleH5971 became impatient on the wayH1870;

5and the peopleH5971 spokeH1696 against 1GodH430, and against MosesH4872, WhyH4100 have ye broughtH5927 us up out of EgyptH4714 that we should dieH4191 in the wildernessH4057? for there is no breadH3899, and no waterH4325, and our soulH5315 loathes this light breadH3899.

6Then Jehovah sentH7971 fiery serpents among the peopleH5971, which bit the peopleH5971; and muchH7227 peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 diedH4191.

7And the peopleH5971 cameH935 to MosesH4872 and saidH559, We have sinnedH2398, in that we have spokenH1696 against Jehovah, and against thee: prayH6419 to Jehovah that he take awayH5493 the serpents from us. And MosesH4872 prayedH6419 for the peopleH5971.

8And Jehovah saidH559 to MosesH4872, MakeH7760 thee a fiery [serpent], and setH7760 it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, and looketh upon it, shall live.

9And MosesH4872 madeH6213 a serpent of brass, and putH7760 it upon a pole; and it came to pass, if a serpent had bitten any manH376, and he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

10And the children of IsraelH3478 journeyed, and encampedH2583 in ObothH88.

11And they removed from ObothH88, and encampedH2583 at Ijim-Abarim, in the wildernessH4057 that is before MoabH4124, toward the sun-rising.

12From thence they removed, and encampedH2583 at the torrent ZeredH2218.

13From thence they removed, and encampedH2583 on the otherH5676 sideH5676 of the ArnonH769, which is in the wildernessH4057 that comesH3318 out of the borderH1366 of the AmoritesH567. For the ArnonH769 is the borderH1366 of MoabH4124, between MoabH4124 and the AmoritesH567.

14ThereforeH3651 it is saidH559 in the bookH5612 of the warsH4421 of Jehovah, Vaheb in Suphah, and the brooks of ArnonH769;

15And the stream of the brooks which turneth to the dwellingH3427 of ArH6144, And inclineth toward the borderH1366 of MoabH4124.

16And from thence to BeerH876: that is the wellH875 of which Jehovah spoke to MosesH4872, Assemble the peopleH5971, and I will giveH5414 them waterH4325.

17ThenH227 IsraelH3478 sangH7891 this songH7892, Rise up, wellH875! singH7891 unto it:

18WellH875 which princesH8269 digged, which the noblesH5081 of the peopleH5971 hollowed out at [the word of] the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wildernessH4057 [they went] to MattanahH4980;

19and from MattanahH4980 to NahalielH5160; and from NahalielH5160 to BamothH1120;

20and from BamothH1120 to the valleyH1516 that is in the fieldsH7704 of MoabH4124, to the topH7218 of PisgahH6449, which looksH8259 over the surfaceH6440 of the waste.
