Context of Numbers 21:13

11Then they traveled on from Oboth and camped at Iye Abarim, in the wilderness that is before Moab, on the eastern side. 12From there they moved on and camped in the valley of Zered. From there they moved on and camped on the other side of the Arnon, in the wilderness that extends from the regions of the Amorites, for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 14This is why it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord, “Waheb in Suphah and the wadis, the Arnon 15and the slope of the valleys that extends to the dwelling of Ar, and falls off at the border of Moab.”
