Numbers 21:16

21:16 And from there they traveled ¹  to Beer; ²  that is the well where the Lord spoke to Moses, “Gather the people and I will give them water.”

Numbers 21:22

21:22 “Let us ³  pass through your land; ⁴  we will not turn aside into the fields or into the vineyards, nor will we drink water from any well, but we will go along the King’s Highway until we pass your borders.”

[21:16]  ¹ tn The words “they traveled” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied here because of English style. The same phrase is supplied at the end of v. 18.

[21:16]  ² sn Isa 15:8 mentions a Moabite Beerelim, which Simons suggests is Wadi Ettemed.

[21:22]  ³ tn The Hebrew text uses the singular in these verses to match the reference to “Israel.”

[21:22]  ⁴ tc Smr has “by the King’s way I will go. I will not turn aside to the right or the left.”
