Numbers 21:4-20

4They travelled from Mount Hor along the route to the Sea of Reeds in order to go around the land of Edom. The spirit of the people became impatient along the way.

5The people spoke against God and Moses: “Why have you brought us from Egypt to die in the wilderness, because there is no bread, no water, and our very spirits detest the despicable food?

6So Adonai sent poisonous serpents among the people, and they bit the people and many of the people of Israel died.

7The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against Adonai and you! Pray to Adonai for us, that He may take away the snakes!” So Moses prayed for the people.

8Adonai said to Moses, “Make yourself a fiery snake and put it on a pole. Whenever anyone who has been bitten will look at it, he will live.”

9So Moses made a bronze snake and put it on a pole, and it happened that whenever a snake bit anyone and he looked at the bronze snake, he lived.

10Bnei-Yisrael moved on and encamped at Oboth.

11Then they set out from Oboth and camped in Ije-abarim, in the wilderness facing Moab toward the sunrise.

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

13They set out from there and camped along the Arnon, which is in the wilderness extending into Amorite territory. The Arnon is also the border between Moab and the Amorites.

14Therefore, it is said in the Book of the Wars of Adonai, “...Vaheb in Suphah and the wadis of the Arnon,

15and the slope of the wadis that leads to the site of Ar and lie along the border of Moab—”

16And from there—on to Beer. This is the well where Adonai said to Moses, “Gather the people and I will give them water.”

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

18The well the princes dug, that the nobles of the people sank with their scepter and their staffs.” From the wilderness they went on to Mattanah.

19From Mattanah they went on to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

20and from Bamoth to the valley in the field of Moab where the peak of Pisgah overlooks the wasteland.
