8. The Lord said to Moses, "Make a snake. Put it up on a pole. Then anyone who is bitten can look at it and remain alive."
9. So Moses made a bronze snake. He put it up on a pole. Then anyone who was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake remained alive.
10. The people of Israel moved on. They camped at Oboth.
11. Then they started out from Oboth. They camped in Iye Abarim. It's in the desert on the eastern border of Moab.
12. From there they moved on. They camped in the Zered Valley.
13. They started out from there and camped by the Arnon River. It's in the desert that spreads out into the territory of the Amorites. The Arnon is the border of Moab. It's between Moab and the Amorites.
14. Here is what the Book of the Wars of the Lord says about it. It says, "Sing about Waheb in Suphah and the valleys. Sing about the Arnon
15. and the slopes of the valleys. They lead to the place called Ar. They lie along the border of Moab."
16. From there the people of Israel continued on to Beer. That was the well where the Lord spoke to Moses. He said, "Gather the people together. I will give them water to drink."
17. Then Israel sang a song. They said, "Spring up, you well! Sing about it.
18. Sing about the well the princes dug. Sing about the well the nobles of the people dug. All of their rulers were holding their rods and staffs." Then the people of Israel went from the desert to Mattanah.
19. They went from Mattanah to Nahaliel. They went from Nahaliel to Bamoth.
