Numbers 21:10-20 - Journey Around Moab

10 After this, the Israelis traveled and encamped at Oboth. 11 Then they traveled from Oboth and encamped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness that is in the vicinity of Moab's eastern border. 12 From there, they traveled and encamped in the valley of Zered. 13 Then they traveled to the other side of Arnon and camped in the wilderness that borders the territory of the Amorites. (Arnon borders Moab between Moab and the Amorites, 14 which is why the Book of the Wars of the LORD reads, "Waheb and Suphah and the wadis of the Arnon, 15 and the slope of the valleys, that extends to the dwelling places of Ar and the borders of Moab.")

16 From there they traveled to the Well of Beer, where the LORD had instructed Moses, "Gather the people together and I'll give you water." 17 That's also where Israel sang this song: Rise up, well! Sing to it! 18 It's the well that the leaders dug, the one carved out by the nobles of the people with their scepters and staffs. 19 Then they moved on in the wilderness from there to Mattanah, then from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth, 20 and from Bamoth to the valley of Moab where their fields are, and from there to the top of Mount Pisgah, that looks down toward the open desert.
