18. The princes dug the well;the nobles of the people hollowed it outwith a scepter and with their staffs.They went from the wilderness to Mattanah,
19. from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20. from Bamoth to the valley in the territory of Moab near the Pisgah highlands that overlook the wasteland.

22. “Let us travel through your land. We won’t go into the fields or vineyards. We won’t drink any well water. We will travel the King’s Highway until we have traveled through your territory.”
