⁷ Then they turned back and went to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh),^(A) and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites,^(B) as well as the Amorites^(C) who were living in Hazezon Tamar.^(D)

¹⁶ the water from upstream stopped flowing.^(A) It piled up in a heap^(B) a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan,^(C) while the water flowing down^(D) to the Sea of the Arabah^(E) (that is, the Dead Sea^(F)) was completely cut off.^(G) So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.^(H)
