16From there they went on to Beer, the water-spring of which the Lord said to Moses, Make the people come together and I will give them water.
17Then Israel gave voice to this song: Come up, O water-spring, let us make a song to it:
18The fountain made by the chiefs, made deep by the great ones of the people, with the law-givers' rod, and with their sticks. Then from the waste land they went on to Mattanah:
19And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20And from Bamoth to the valley in the open country of Moab, and to the top of Pisgah looking over Jeshimon.
21And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,
22Let me go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway till we have gone past the limits of your land.
