Numbers 21:10-20

10The Israelites moved and set up camp at Oboth.

11Next they moved from Oboth and set up camp at Iye Abarim in the desert west of Moab.

12From there they moved and set up camp at the Zered River.

13They moved from there and set up camp on the other side of the Arnon Valley in the desert that extends into Amorite territory. (The Arnon Valley is the border between Moab and the Amorites.)

14This is how it’s described in the Book of the Wars of the Lord: “… Waheb in Suphah and the valleys,

15Arnon and the slopes of the valleys that go down to the site of Ar and lie along the border of Moab….”

16From there they went to Beer [Well]. This is the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people, and I will give them water.”

17Then Israel sang this song about the well: “Make your water spring up! Sing to the well,

18the well dug by princes, dug out by the nobles of the people with their scepters and staffs.” From the desert they went to Mattanah,

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

20and from Bamoth to the valley in Moab where Mount Pisgah overlooks Jeshimon.
