Numbers 21:10–20

The Journey to Moab

¹⁰The Israelites set out and camped in Oboth.^{* 11}They set out from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness bordering Moab toward the sunrise.^{* 12}From there they set out and camped in the Wadi Zered.^{* 13}From there they set out and camped on the other side of the Arnon, in^v the wilderness that extends from the boundary of the Amorites, for the Arnon is the boundary of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. ¹⁴Wherefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord,

“Waheb in Suphah and the wadis.

The Arnon ¹⁵and the slopes of the wadis

that extend to the seat of Ar

and lie along the border of Moab.”^w*

¹⁶From there they continued to Beer;^x that is the well of which the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.” ¹⁷Then Israel sang this song:

“Spring up, O well!—Sing to it!—

¹⁸the well that the leaders sank,

that the nobles of the people dug,

with the scepter, with the staff.”

From the wilderness to Mattanah, ¹⁹from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth, ²⁰and from Bamoth to the valley lying in the region of Moab by the top of Pisgah that overlooks the wasteland.^y
