Numbers 21:10-20 - Journey Around Moab

¹⁰ Now the sons of Israel moved out and camped at Oboth. ¹¹ They journeyed on from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness facing Moab, toward the sunrise. ¹² From there they set out and camped in the Wadi Zered. ¹³ From there they journeyed on and camped on the other side of [the river] Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the boundary of the Amorites; for [the river] Arnon is the boundary of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. ¹⁴ That is why it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord:

“Waheb in Suphah,
And the wadis of the Arnon [River],
¹⁵
And the slope of the wadis
That stretches toward the site of Ar
And leans to the border of Moab.”

¹⁶ From there the Israelites went on to Beer, that is the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together and I will give them water.” ¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song,

“Spring up, O well! Sing to it,
¹⁸
The well which the leaders dug,
Which the nobles of the people hollowed out
With the scepter and with their staffs.”

And from the wilderness Israel journeyed to Mattanah, ¹⁹ and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth, ²⁰ and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah which looks down on the wasteland.
