Numbers 21:14-19 in English

¹⁴ Wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Jehovah, Vaheb in Suphah, And the valleys of the Arnon,

¹⁵ And the slope of the valleys That inclineth toward the dwelling of Ar, And leaneth upon the border of Moab.

¹⁶ And from thence they journeyed to Beer: that is the well whereof Jehovah said unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.

¹⁷ Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:

¹⁸ The well, which the princes digged, Which the nobles of the people delved, With the sceptre, and with their staves. And from the wilderness they journeyed to Mattanah;

¹⁹ and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;

¹⁴ Therefore it is said in a book, A war of the Lord has set on fire Zoob, and the brooks of Arnon.

¹⁵ And he has appointed brooks to cause Er to dwell there; and it lies near to the coasts of Moab.

¹⁶ And thence they came to the well; this is the well of which the Lord said to Moses, Gather the people, and I will give them water to drink.

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song at the well, Begin to sing of the well;

¹⁸ the princes digged it, the kings of the nations in their kingdom, in their lordship sank it in the rock: and they went from the well to Manthanain,

¹⁹ and from Manthanain to Naaliel, and from Naaliel to Bamoth, and from Bamoth to Janen, which is in the plain of Moab as seen from the top of the quarried rock that looks toward the wilderness.

¹⁴ Wherefore 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 spake 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 digged the well, the nobles of the people digged 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:

¹⁴ Wherefore 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 spake 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 digged the well, the nobles of the people digged 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:

¹⁴ Therefore it is said in a book, A war of the Lord has set on fire Zoob, and the brooks of Arnon.

¹⁵ And he has appointed brooks to cause Er to dwell there; and it lies near to the coasts of Moab.

¹⁶ And thence they came to the well; this is the well of which the Lord said to Moses, Gather the people, and I will give them water to drink.

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song at the well, Begin to sing of the well;

¹⁸ the princes digged it, the kings of the nations in their kingdom, in their lordship sank it in the rock: and they went from the well to Manthanain,

¹⁹ and from Manthanain to Naaliel, and from Naaliel to Bamoth, and from Bamoth to Janen, which is in the plain of Moab as seen from the top of the quarried rock that looks toward the wilderness.

¹⁴ Wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of the LORD, Vaheb in Suphah, And the valleys of Arnon,

¹⁵ And the slope of the valleys That inclineth toward the dwelling of Ar, And leaneth upon the border of Moab.

¹⁶ And from thence they journeyed to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD said unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.

¹⁷ Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:

¹⁸ The well, which the princes digged, Which the nobles of the people delved, With the sceptre, and with their staves. And from the wilderness they journeyed to Mattanah:

¹⁹ and from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:

¹⁴ That is why in the book called ❛The Book of the Wars of Yahweh❜ it tells about “Waheb town in the Suphah area, and the ravines there; and the Arnon River

¹⁵ and the ravines there, which extend as far as Ar village on the border of Moab.”

¹⁶ From there, the Israelis traveled to Beer. There was a well there, where Yahweh previously had said to Moses/me, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”

¹⁷ There the Israelis sang this song: “O well, give us water! Sing about this well!

¹⁸ Sing about this well which our leaders dug; they dug out the dirt with their royal scepters and their walking sticks.” Then the Israelis left that desert and went through Mattanah,

¹⁹ Nahaliel, and Bamoth villages.

¹⁴ Therefore it is said in a book, A war of the Lord has set on fire Zoob, and the brooks of Arnon.

¹⁵ And he has appointed brooks to cause Er to dwell there; and it lies near to the coasts of Moab.

¹⁶ And thence they came to the well; this is the well of which the Lord said to Moses, Gather the people, and I will give them water to drink.

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song at the well, Begin to sing of the well;

¹⁸ the princes digged it, the kings of the nations in their kingdom, in their lordship sank it in the rock: and they went from the well to Manthanain,

¹⁹ and from Manthanain to Naaliel, and from Naaliel to Bamoth, and from Bamoth to Janen, which is in the plain of Moab as seen from the top of the quarried rock that looks towards the wilderness.

¹⁴ Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of Yahweh, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,

¹⁵ the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”

¹⁶ From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,

¹⁸ the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;

¹⁹ and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;

¹⁴ Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of Yahweh, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,

¹⁵ the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”

¹⁶ From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,

¹⁸ the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;

¹⁹ and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;

¹⁴ Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of the LORD, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,

¹⁵ the slope of the valleys that incline towards the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”

¹⁶ From there they travelled to Beer; that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,

¹⁸ the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the sceptre, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they travelled to Mattanah;

¹⁹ and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;

¹⁴ As it says in the book of the Wars of the Lord, Vaheb in Suphah, and the valley of the Amon;

¹⁵ The slope of the valleys going down to the tents of Ar and touching the edge of Moab.

¹⁶ From 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.

¹⁷ Then Israel gave voice to this song: Come up, O water-spring, let us make a song to it:

¹⁸ The 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:

¹⁹ And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:

¹⁴ Therefore it is said in the book of the wars of Jehovah, Vaheb in Suphah, and the brooks of Arnon;

¹⁵ And the stream of the brooks which turneth to the dwelling of Ar, And inclineth toward the border of Moab.

¹⁶ And from thence to Beer: that is the well of which Jehovah spoke to Moses, Assemble the people, and I will give them water.

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song, Rise up, well! sing unto it:

¹⁸ Well which princes digged, which the nobles of the people hollowed out at the word 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;

¹⁴ Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord: As he did in the Red Sea, so will he do in the streams of Amen.

¹⁵ The rocks of the torrents were bowed down that they might rest in Ar, and lie down in the borders of the Moabites.

¹⁶ When they went from that place, the well appeared whereof the Lord said to Moses: Gather the people together, and I will give them water.

¹⁷ Then Israel sung this song: Let the well spring up. They sung thereto:

¹⁸ The well, which the princes dug, and the chiefs of the people prepared by the direction of the lawgiver, and with their staves. And they marched from the wilderness to Mathana.

¹⁹ From Mathana unto Nahaliel: from Nahaliel unto Bamoth.

¹⁴ That's why the Book of the Wars of the Lord refers to “the town of Waheb in Suphah and the canyon of the Arnon,

¹⁵ the canyon slopes that reach the village of Ar that lies on the border with Moab.”

¹⁶ From there they moved on to Beer, the well where the Lord told Moses, “Have the people gather together so I can give them water.”

¹⁷ Then the Israelites sang this song: “Pour out water, well! Everyone of you sing to it!

¹⁸ The tribal chiefs dug the well; yes the leaders of the people dug the well with their rods of authority and their walking sticks.” The Israelites left the desert and carried on to Mattanah.

¹⁹ From Mattanah they traveled to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

¹⁴ Wherefore it shall be spoken in the booke of the battels of the Lord, what thing he did in the red sea, and in the riuers of Arnon,

¹⁵ And at the streame of the riuers that goeth downe to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth vpon the border of Moab.

¹⁶ And from thence they turned to Beer: the same is the well where the Lord said vnto Moses, Assemble the people, and I wil giue them water.

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song, Rise vp well, sing ye vnto it.

¹⁸ The princes digged this well, the captaines of the people digged it, euen the lawe giuer, with their staues. And from the wildernesse they came to Mattanah,

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

¹⁴ wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of the LORD: Vaheb in Suphah, and the valleys of Arnon,

¹⁵ And the slope of the valleys that inclineth toward the seat of Ar, and leaneth upon the border of Moab. —

¹⁶ And from thence to Beer; that is the well whereof the LORD said unto Moses: 'Gather the people together, and I will give them water.'

¹⁷ Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well — sing ye unto it —

¹⁸ The well, which the princes digged, which the nobles of the people delved, with the sceptre, and with their staves. And from the wilderness to Mattanah;

¹⁹ and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;

¹⁴ Wherefore 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 spake 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 digged the well, The nobles of the people digged 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:

¹⁴ Therefore mention is made in the book of the wars of the Lord, of Vaheb in Supha, and of the brooks of Arnon,

¹⁵ And the descent of the brooks, that turneth toward Shebeth-'Ar, and leaneth upon the border of Moab;

¹⁶ And from there to the well; this is the well where the Lord said unto Moses, Assemble the people and I will give them water.

¹⁷ Then did Israel sing this song, Come up, O well; sing ye unto it:

¹⁸ Well, which the princes have dug, which the nobles of the people have hollowed out with the sceptre, with their staves;— and from the wilderness to Mattanah;

¹⁹ And from Mattanah to Nachaliel; and from Nachaliel to Bamoth;

¹⁴ Therefore it is said in a book, A war of the Lord has set on fire Zoob, And the brooks of Arnon.

¹⁵ And he has appointed brooks to cause Ar to dwell there; And it lies near to the coasts of Moab.

¹⁶ And thence they came to the well; this is the well of which the Lord said to Moses, Gather the people, and I will give them water to drink.

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song at the well, Begin to sing of the well;

¹⁸ The princes dug it, The kings of the nations in their kingdom, In their lordship sank it in the rock: and they went from the well to Mattanah,

¹⁹ and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth, and from Bamoth to Janen, which is in the plain of Moab as seen from the top of the quarried rock that looks toward the wilderness.

¹⁴ Wherefore it is said in the Book of the Wars, That which the Lord did by the Sea of Suph, and the great deeds which (He wrought) by the torrents of Arnon,

¹⁵ And at the flowing of the streams which lead towards Lechayath, and are joined at the confine of Moab.

¹⁶ And from thence was given to them the well, which is the well whereof the Lord spake to Mosheh, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.

¹⁷ Therefore sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it.

¹⁸ The well which the princes digged, the chiefs of the people cut it, the scribes with their staves; it was given to them in the wilderness.

¹⁹ And from (the time) that it was given to them it descended with them to the rivers, and from the rivers it went up with them to the height,

¹⁴ Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Adonai , “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,

¹⁵ the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab From father.”

¹⁶ From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which Adonai said to Moses Drawn out, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”

¹⁷ Then Israel God prevails sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,

¹⁸ the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;

¹⁹ and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;

¹⁴ That is why it says in the scroll of the Wars of Yahweh, “... Waheb in Suphah, and the valleys of the Arnon,

¹⁵ the slope of the valleys that lead toward the town of Ar and lie along the border of Moab.”

¹⁶ From there they traveled to Beer, the well where Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather the people together for me to give them water.”

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing about it,

¹⁸ about the well that our leaders dug, the well the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter and their staffs.” Then from the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah.

¹⁹ From Mattanah they traveled to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

¹⁴ Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of Yahweh, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,

¹⁵ the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”

¹⁶ From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,

¹⁸ the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;

¹⁹ and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;

¹⁴ Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of the LORD, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,

¹⁵ the slope of the valleys that incline towards the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”

¹⁶ From there they travelled to Beer; that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,

¹⁸ the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the sceptre, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they travelled to Mattanah;

¹⁹ and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;

¹⁴ Wherefore 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 of which the LORD spoke to Moses, Assemble the people, and I will give them water.

¹⁷ Then Israel sung this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye to it:

¹⁸ The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staffs. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:

¹⁹ And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:

¹⁴ Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of the LORD, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,

¹⁵ the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”

¹⁶ From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,

¹⁸ the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;

¹⁹ and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;

¹⁴ Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of the LORD, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,

¹⁵ the slope of the valleys that incline towards the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”

¹⁶ From there they travelled to Beer; that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,

¹⁸ the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the sceptre, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they travelled to Mattanah;

¹⁹ and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;

¹⁴ Wherefore it is said in the book of battles of the Lord, As he did in the Red Sea, so he shall do in the strands of Arnon;

¹⁵ the hard rocks of the strands were bowed down, that they shall rest in Ar, or abide there, and should lie in the coasts of Moabites.

¹⁶ From that place the pit appeared, of which the Lord spake to Moses, Gather thou together the people, and I shall give water to it.

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song, The water of the pit, ascend or go up; they sang together,

¹⁸ The pit which the princes digged, and the dukes of the multitude made ready, in the giver of the law, and in their staves. And they went forth from the wilderness to Mattanah,

¹⁹ from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel into Bamoth;

¹⁴ Wherefore it is said in the book of battles of the Lord, As he did in the Red Sea, so he shall do in the strands of (the) Arnon; (And so it is said in the Book of the Battles of the Lord, As he did at the Red Sea, so he also did at the Arnon River,)

¹⁵ the hard rocks of the strands were bowed down, that they shall rest in Ar, or abide there, and should lie in the coasts of Moabites. (and from the cliffs of the river, down to the city of Ar, that sitteth on the border of Moab.)

¹⁶ From that place (they went to where) the well appeared, of which the Lord spake to Moses, Gather thou together the people, and I shall give water to it. (From there they went to Beer, that is, The Well, of which the Lord spoke to Moses, and said, Gather thou the people together, and I shall give them water.)

¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song, The water of the well, ascend up; they sang together, (Then Israel sang this song, Go ye up, water of the well; yea, we sing to thee,)

¹⁸ The well which the princes digged, and the dukes of the multitude made ready, in the giver of the law, and in their staves, (or The well from the Giver of the Law, which the leaders dug, yea, which the leaders of the multitude brought forth with their staffs). And (then) they went forth from the wilderness to Mattanah,

¹⁹ from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel into Bamoth;

¹⁴ Wherfor it is seid in the book of batels of the Lord, As he dide in the reed see, so he schal do in the strondis of Arnon;

¹⁵ the harde rochis of the strondis weren bowid, that tho schulen reste in Arnon, and schulden ligge in the coostis of Moabitis.

¹⁶ Fro that place the pit apperide, of which the Lord spak to Moyses, Gadere thou the puple, and Y schal yyue watir to it.

¹⁷ Thanne Israel soong this song, The pit stie;

¹⁸ thei sungen togidere, The pit which the princes diggiden, and the duykis of the multitude maden redi, in the yyuere of the lawe, and in her stauys. And thei yeden forth fro the wildirnesse to Mathana,

¹⁹ fro Mathana to Naaliel, fro Naaliel in to Bamoth;

¹⁴ therefore it is said in a book, 'The wars of Jehovah,' — 'Waheb in Suphah, And the brooks of Arnon;

¹⁵ And the spring of the brooks, Which turned aside to the dwelling of Ar, And hath leaned to the border of Moab.'

¹⁶ And from thence they journeyed to Beer; it is the well concerning which Jehovah said to Moses, 'Gather the people, and I give to them — water.'

¹⁷ Then singeth Israel this song, concerning the well — they have answered to it:

¹⁸ 'A well — digged it have princes, Prepared it have nobles of the people, With the lawgiver, with their staves.' And from the wilderness they journeyed to Mattanah,

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