Numbers 21:20

MoabBamothMoabPisgah

18 The princes dug the well; the nobles of the people hollowed it out with their scepters and with their staffs.” From the wilderness the Israelites went on to Mattanah,

19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

and from Bamoth to the valley in Moab where the top of Pisgah overlooks the wasteland.

21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,

22 “Let us pass through your land. We will not cut through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.”
