10 (A)And the children of Israel departed thence, and pitched in Oboth.

11 ¶ And they departed from Oboth, and pitched [a]in Ije Abarim, in the wilderness, which is before Moab on the East side.

12 ¶ They removed thence, and pitched upon the river of Zared.

13 ¶ Thence they departed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness, and cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: (for Arnon is the border of Moab, between the Moabites and the Amorites),

14 Wherefore it shall be spoken in the [b]book of the battles of the Lord, [c]what thing he did in the red sea, and in the rivers of Arnon,

15 And at the stream of the rivers that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.

16 ¶ And from thence they turned to Beer: the same is the well where the Lord said unto Moses, Assemble the people, and I will give them water.

17 ¶ Then Israel sang this song, Rise up [d]well, [e]sing ye unto it.

18 The princes dug this well, the captains of the people dug it, even the [f]lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they came to Mattanah,

19 ¶ And from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

20 ¶ And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the plain of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
