Numbers 21:13
Compare all
11 And they journeyed from Oboth and camped at Ije Abarim, in the wilderness which is east of Moab, toward the sunrise.  
12 aFrom there they moved and camped in the Valley of Zered.  
13 From there they moved and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites; for athe Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.  
14 Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord:
“Waheb in Suphah,
The brooks of the Arnon, 
15 And the slope of the brooks
That reaches to the dwelling of aAr,
And lies on the border of Moab.”  
16 From there they went ato Beer, which 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:
a“Spring up, O well!
All of you sing to it— 
18 The well the leaders sank,
Dug by the nation’s nobles,
By the alawgiver, with their staves.” And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah,  
19 from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 and from Bamoth, in the valley that is in the1 country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah which looks adown on the wasteland.  

King Sihon Defeated

21 Then aIsrael sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,  
22 a“Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into fields or vineyards; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.”

Numbers

NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
