Numbers 21:17
Compare all
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.

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.
