Numbers 21:13

MoabArnonMoab

11 They journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the wilderness opposite Moab to the east.

12 From there they set out and camped in the Valley of Zered.

From there they moved on and camped on the other side of the Arnon, in the wilderness that extends into the Amorite territory. Now the Arnon is the border between the Moabites and the Amorites.

14 Therefore it is stated in the Book of the Wars of the LORD: “Waheb in Suphah and the wadis of the Arnon,

15 even the slopes of the wadis that extend to the site of Ar and lie along the border of Moab.”
