SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:13
Y partidos de allí, asentaron al otro lado de Arnón, que está en el desierto, y que sale del término del amorreo; porque Arnón es término de Moab, entre Moab y el amorreo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 21:13
Verse 13. Arnon] Another river which takes its rise in the mountains of Moab, and, after having separated the ancient territories of the Moabites and Ammonites, falls into the Dead Sea, near the mouth of Jordan.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon , etc.] A river on the borders of Moab: which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites ; according to Jarchi, they went round the land of Moab, all to the south and east, and came not into the border of Moab, as Jephthah said, ( Judges 11:18) but before they came hither they had a station at Almondiblathaim, ( Numbers 33:46,47) for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites ; a river which divided these two countries, and bounded them; and Moses is the more particular in this account, to show that the Israelites took nothing from the Moabites, but what the Amorites had taken from them, they being charged not to distress the Moabites and Ammonites, ( Deuteronomy 2:9,19), see Jephthah’s defence, ( Judges 11:15-27).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-20 - We have here the removes of the children of Israel, till they came to the plains of Moab, from whence they passed over Jordan into Canaan The end of their pilgrimage was near. "They set forward." It were wel if we did thus; and the nearer we come to heaven, were so much the mor active and abundant in the work of the Lord. The wonderful success God granted to his people, is here spoken of, and, among the rest, their actions on the river Arnon, at Vaheb in Suphah, and other places of that river. In every stage of our lives, nay, in every step, we shoul notice what God has wrought for us; what he did at such a time, an what in such a place, ought to be distinctly remembered. God blesse his people with a supply of water. When we come to heaven, we shal remove to the well of life, the fountain of living waters. The received it with joy and thankfulness, which made the mercy doubl sweet. With joy must we draw water out of the wells of salvation, Is 12:3. As the brazen serpent was a figure of Christ, who is lifted u for our cure, so is this well a figure of the Spirit, who is poure forth for our comfort, and from whom flow to us rivers of livin waters, Joh 7:38, 39. Does this well spring up in our souls? If so, we should take the comfort to ourselves, and give the glory to God. God promised to give water, but they must open the ground. God's favour must be expected in the use of such means as are within our power, but still the power is only of God.
