¹⁰The Israelites moved on and camped at Oboth.^t ¹¹Then they set out from Oboth and camped in Iye Abarim, in the wilderness that faces Moab^u toward the sunrise. ¹²From there they moved on and camped in the Zered Valley.^v ¹³They set out from there and camped alongside the Arnon^w, which is in the wilderness extending into Amorite territory. The Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.^x ¹⁴That is why the Book of the Wars^y of the Lord says:

“… Zahab^d in Suphah and the ravines,

the Arnon ¹⁵and^e the slopes of the ravines

that lead to the settlement of Ar^z

and lie along the border of Moab.”

¹⁶From there they continued on to Beer,^a the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together and I will give them water.”

¹⁷Then Israel sang this song:^b

“Spring up, O well!

Sing about it,

¹⁸about the well that the princes dug,

that the nobles of the people sank—

the nobles with scepters and staffs.”

Then they went from the wilderness to Mattanah, ¹⁹from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth, ²⁰and from Bamoth to the valley in Moab where the top of Pisgah^c overlooks the wasteland.
