21:13From there they moved on and camped on the other side of the Arnon, in the wilderness that extends from the regions22 of the Amorites, for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 21:14This is why it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord,

- 22 Or “border.”
- 23 The ancient versions show a wide variation here: has “Waheb on the Sea of Reeds,” the Greek version has “he has set Zoob on fire and the torrents of Arnon.” Several modern versions treat the first line literally, taking the two main words as place names: Waheb and Suphah. This seems most likely, but then there would then be no subject or verb. One would need something like “the Israelites marched through.” The , following the , made the first word a verb and read the second as “Red Sea”—“what he did in the Red Sea.” But subject of the passage is the terrain. D. L. Christensen proposed emending the first part from אֶת וָהֵב (’et vahev) to אַתָּה יְהוָה (’attah yehvah, “the Lord came”). But this is subjective. See his article “Num 21:14–15 and the Book of the Wars of Yahweh,” 36 (1974): 359–60.
