Numbers 21:16-18— And from there they journeyed to Beer; that is the well where Jehovah said to Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.// Then Israel sang this song: Spring up, O well! Sing to it!// The well, which the leaders sank, Which the nobles of the people dug, With the scepter, with their staffs. And from the wilderness they journeyed to Mattanah;
