Numbers 21:14-16
Amplified Bible
14 That is why it is said in the [a]Book of the Wars of the Lord:
“[b]Waheb in [c]Suphah,
And the [d]wadis of the Arnon [River],
15
And the slope of the wadis
That stretches toward the site of Ar
And leans to the border of Moab.”
16 From there the Israelites went on to Beer, that is the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together and I will give them water.”(A)

- Numbers 21:14 A non-canonical work which, unfortunately, has been lost.
- Numbers 21:14 Possibly a well that is the source of the Arnon river.
- Numbers 21:14 Probably a place in Moab. However some of the rabbis took Suphah to be a reference to the Red Sea (Yam Suph in Hebrew) and maintained that these words imply God performed miracles for Israel in the valleys of Arnon such as He did at the Red Sea.
- Numbers 21:14 Dry valleys of seasonal rivers.
Numbers 21:14-16
New International Version
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.”
