16–18They went on to Beer (The Well), where God said to Moses, “Gather the people; I’ll give them water.” That’s where Israel sang this song:
Erupt, Well!
Sing the Song of the Well,
the well sunk by princes,
Dug out by the peoples’ leaders
digging with their scepters and staffs.

“Spring up, O well!
Yes, sing its praises!
Sing of this well,

which great leaders hollowed out
with their scepters and staffs.”

And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the Lord spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water. Then Israel sang this song,

The princes digged the well,
The nobles of the people digged it,
By the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves.
And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
