Numbers 21:12-22 American Standard Version (ASV)

12. From thence they journeyed, and encamped in the valley of Zered.

13. From thence they journeyed, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that cometh out of the border of the Amorites: for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.

14. Wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Jehovah, Vaheb in Suphah, And the valleys of the Arnon,

15. And the slope of the valleys That inclineth toward the dwelling of Ar, And leaneth upon the border of Moab.

16. And from thence they journeyed to Beer: that is the well whereof Jehovah said unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.

17. Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:

18. The well, which the princes digged, Which the nobles of the people delved, With the sceptre, and with their staves.

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 looketh down upon the desert.

21. And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,

22. Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed thy border.
