15. and the slope of the valleysthat extends to the dwelling of Ar, and falls off at the border of Moab.”
16. And from there they traveled to Beer; that is the well where the Lord spoke to Moses, “Gather the people and I will give them water.”
17. Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well, sing to it!
18. The well which the princes dug,which the leaders of the people openedwith their scepters and their staffs.”And from the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;
19. and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
20. and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the country of Moab, near the top of Pisgah, which overlooks the wilderness.
21. Then Israel sent messengers to King Sihon of the Amorites, saying,
22. “Let us pass through your land; we will not turn aside into the fields or into the vineyards, nor will we drink water from any well, but we will go along the King’s Highway until we pass your borders.”
23. But Sihon did not permit Israel to pass through his border; he gathered all his forces together and went out against Israel into the wilderness. When he came to Jahaz, he fought against Israel.
