New American Standard Bible (1995)

Contextual Overview

10 The Israelites left that place and camped at Oboth. 11 Then they left Oboth and camped at Iye Abarim in the desert east of Moab. 12 They left that place and camped in Zered Valley. 13 Then they moved and camped across from the Arnon River in the desert. This river started at the Ammonite border. The valley was the border between Moab and the Amorites. 14 That is why these words are written in the Book of the Wars of the Lord : "… and Waheb in Suphah, and the Valleys of the Arnon, 15 and the hills by the valleys that lead to the town of Ar. These places are at the border of Moab." 16 The Israelites left that place and traveled to Beer. There is a well in Beer, where the Lord said to Moses, "Bring the people together here, and I will give them water." 17 Then the Israelites sang this song: "Well, flow with water! Sing about it! 18 Great men dug this well. Important leaders dug this well. They dug this well with their staffs and walking sticks. It is a gift in the desert." 19 The people traveled from Mattanah to Nahaliel. Then they traveled from Nahaliel to Bamoth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth. All the Targums interpret this, and the following verse, not of the journeying of the children of Israel, but of the motion of the well, that that, from the place from whence it was given them, descended with them into the valleys, and from thence to the high places, as these words signify: and indeed those places are not mentioned in the journeys of the children of Israel, Numbers 33:1 and were not stations where they pitched, but places they passed through before they came to Abarim, and the wilderness of Kedemoth.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Nahaliel - i. e. “brook of God;” the modern Wady Enkheileh. The Israelites must have crossed the stream not much above Ar.

Bamoth - Otherwise Bamoth-baal, “the high places of Baal” Numbers 22:41 : mentioned as near Dibon (Dhiban) in Joshua 13:17, and Isaiah 15:2. See Numbers 32:34.
