Numbers 21:10-20
New King James Version
From Mount Hor to Moab
10 Now the children of Israel moved on and (A)camped in Oboth. 11 And they journeyed from Oboth and camped at [a]Ije Abarim, in the wilderness which is east of Moab, toward the sunrise. 12 (B)From there they moved and camped in the Valley of Zered. 13 From there they moved and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites; for (C)the 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:
[b]“Waheb in Suphah,
The brooks of the Arnon,
15 And the slope of the brooks
That reaches to the dwelling of (D)Ar,
And lies on the border of Moab.”
16 From there they went (E)to Beer, which is the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.” 17 (F)Then Israel sang this song:
“Spring up, O well!
All of you sing to it—
18 The well the leaders sank,
Dug by the nation’s nobles,
By the (G)lawgiver, with their staves.”
And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah, 19 from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth, 20 and from Bamoth, in the valley that is in the [c]country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah which looks (H)down on the [d]wasteland.

Numbers 21:10-20
21st Century King James Version
10 And the children of Israel went forward, and pitched camp in Oboth.
11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab toward the sunrising.
12 From thence they removed, and pitched camp in the Valley of Zered.
13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the border 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 what He did in the Red Sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
15 and at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar and lieth upon the border of Moab.
16 And from thence they went to Beer. That is the well whereof the Lord spoke unto Moses: “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
17 Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well! Sing ye unto it!
18 The princes dug the well; the nobles of the people dug it by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves.” 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 looketh toward Jeshimon.
