10. The children of Israel set out and camped in Oboth.
11. They journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iye Abarim in the wilderness, which is before Moab toward the sunrise.
12. From there they journeyed and camped in the Valley of Zered.
13. From there they journeyed and camped on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the borders of the Amorites, for 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: “Zahab in Suphah, and in the brooksof Arnon,
15. and at the stream of the brooksthat goes down to the dwelling of Ar,and lies on the border of Moab.”
16. From there they went to Beer. That is the well of which the Lord spoke to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
17. Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well!sing to it—
18. the leaders dug the well;the nobles of the people dug,by the lawgiver, with their staffs.”And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah,
19. and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20. and from Bamoth in the valley that is in the country of Moab to the top of Pisgah, which looks toward Jeshimon.
21. Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22. “Let me pass through your land. We will not turn into the fields nor into the vineyards. We will not drink of the waters of the well. But we will go along by the king’s highway until we are past your borders.”
23. Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border. But Sihon gathered all his people together and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.
