And they
removed thence, and pitched upon the river of Zarad. And they
departed thence and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which
river is in the wilderness, and cometh out of the coasts of the
Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the
Amorites. Wherefore it is spoken in the book of the war of the
LORD: go with a violence, both on the river of Arnon and on the
river's head, which shooteth down to dwell at Ar, and leaneth upon
the coasts of Moab. And from thence they came to Bear, which is
the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses: gather the people
together, that I may give them water. Then Israel sang this song:
Arise up well, sing thereto: The well which the rulers digged and
the captains of the people with the help of the lawgiver and with
their staves. And from this wilderness they went to Matana, and
from Matana to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth, and from
Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab in the top of
Phasgah which boweth toward the wilderness. {Iesimon} And Israel
sent messengers unto Sehon, king of the Amorites, saying: let us
go thorow thy land: We will not turn into thy fields nor into thy
vineyards, neither drink of the water of the wells: but we will go
along by the common way, until we be past thy country.
