The Song of the Well

10 And the people of Israel set out and ^acamped in Oboth. 11 ^bAnd they set out from Oboth and ^ccamped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness that is opposite Moab, toward the sunrise. 12 From there they set out and camped in ^dthe Valley of Zered. 13 From there they set out and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites, for the ^eArnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 14 Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord,

“Waheb in Suphah, and the valleys of the Arnon,
15 and the slope of the valleys
that extends to the seat of ^fAr,
and leans to the border of Moab.”
16 And from there they continued ^gto Beer; ^{▼▼ Beer means well} that is the well of which the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together, so that ⁱI may give them water.” 17 Then Israel sang this song:

“Spring up, O well!—Sing to it!—
18 the well that the princes made,
that the nobles of the people dug,
with ^jthe scepter and with their staffs.”
And from the wilderness they went on to Mattanah, 19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth, 20 and from Bamoth to the valley lying in the region of Moab by the top of Pisgah ^kthat looks down on the desert. ^{▼▼Or Jeshimon}
