¹⁰The Israelites moved on and camped at Oboth. ¹¹After leaving that place, they camped at the ruins of Abarim in the wilderness east of Moabite territory. ¹²Then they camped in the Valley of Zered. ¹³From there they moved again and camped on the north side of the River Arnon, in the wilderness which extends into Amorite territory. (The Arnon was the border between the Moabites and the Amorites.) ¹⁴That is why The Book of the Lord’s Battles speaks of “… the town of Waheb in the area of Suphah, and the valleys; the River Arnon, ¹⁵and the slope of the valleys that extend to the town of Ar and towards the border of Moab.”

¹⁶From there they went on to a place called Wells, where the Lord said to Moses, “Bring the people together, and I will give them water.” ¹⁷At that time the people of Israel sang this song:

“Wells, produce your water;

And we will greet it with a song-

¹⁸The well dug by princes

And by leaders of the people,

Dug with a royal sceptre

And with their sticks.”

They moved from the wilderness to Mattanah, ¹⁹and from there they went on to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth, ²⁰and from Bamoth to the valley in the territory of the Moabites, below the top of Mount Pisgah, looking out over the desert.
