6And the Lord let loose against the people poisonous serpents, and they bit the people; and there died much people of Israel.
7And the people then came to Moses, and they said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away from us the serpents. And Moses prayed for the people.
8And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thyself a serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that whoever is bitten shall look at it, and he shall live.
9And Moses made a serpent of copper, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, that, when a serpent had bitten any man, and he looked up to the serpent of copper, he remained alive.
10And the children of Israel set forward, and encamped in Oboth.
11And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at 'Iye-ha'abarim, in the wilderness, which is before Moab, toward the rising of the sun.
12From there they set forward and encamped in the valley of Zered.
13From there they set forward, and encamped on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness, and which cometh out of the boundary of the Emorites; for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and between the Emorites.
14Therefore mention is made in the book of the wars of the Lord, of Vaheb in Supha, and of the brooks of Arnon,
15And the descent of the brooks, that turneth toward Shebeth-'Ar, and leaneth upon the border of Moab;
16And from there to the well; this is the well where the Lord said unto Moses, Assemble the people and I will give them water.
17Then did Israel sing this song, Come up, O well; sing ye unto it:
18Well, 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;
19And from Mattanah to Nachaliel; and from Nachaliel to Bamoth;
20And from Bamoth to the valley, which is in the fields of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward the desert.
