Numbers 21:15 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 21:15

And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the
dwelling of Ar

and lieth upon the border of Moab;

14 Therefore thus it is said in the scroll of the Wars of Yahweh, "Waheb in Suphah, and the wadis of Arnon,

15 and the slope of the wadis that spreads out to the dwelling of Ar and lies at the boundary of Moab."

16 From there [they went] to Beer, which is the water well where Yahweh spoke to Moses, "Gather the people, that I may give them water."

17 Then Israel sang this song, "Arise, well water! Sing to it!
