16 And from there on to Be’ĕr, which is the well where יהוה said to Mosheh, “Gather the people, and let Me give them water.”
17 Yisra’ĕl then sang this song: “Spring up, O well! Sing to it,
18 a well the leaders sank, which the nobles of the people dug with their staves, by the word of the Law-giver.” Then from the wilderness on to Mattanah,
19 from Mattanah to Naḥali’ĕl, from Naḥali’ĕl to Bamoth,
20 and from Bamoth, in the valley that is in the country of Mo’aḇ, to the top of Pisgah which looks down on the wasteland.
21 And Yisra’ĕl sent messengers to Siḥon sovereign of the Amorites, saying,
22 “Let me pass through your land. We shall not turn off into fields or vineyards, we shall not drink water from wells, but go by the sovereign’s highway until we have passed over your border.”
