Numbers 21:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 Hence it is said in the “Book of the Wars of the Lord”:[a]
“Waheb in Suphah and the wadies,
15 Arnon and the wadi gorges
That reach back toward the site of Ar[b]
and lean against the border of Moab.”
16 From there they went to Beer,[c] which is the well of which the Lord said to Moses, Gather the people together so that I may give them water.

- 21:14 The “Book of the Wars of the Lord”: an ancient collection of Israelite songs, now lost. Waheb in Suphah: since neither place is mentioned elsewhere, it is uncertain whether these Hebrew words are to be considered as place names; some Hebrew words, now lost, must have preceded this phrase.
- 21:15 Ar: a city or district in Moab, located on the Arnon; see v. 28; Dt 2:18.
- 21:16 Beer: “a well,” here used as a place name.

14 That is why the Book of the Wars(A) of the Lord says:
“. . . Zahab[a] in Suphah and the ravines,
the Arnon 15 and[b] the slopes of the ravines
that lead to the settlement of Ar(B)
and lie along the border of Moab.”
16 From there they continued on to Beer,(C) the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together and I will give them water.”
