SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:16
Y de allí vinieron a Beer: éste es el pozo del cual el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Junta al pueblo, y les daré agua.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. And from thence they went to Beer , etc.] A place so called from a well which sprung up here, of which the following account is given: that is, the well whereof the Lord spake unto Moses ; promising him to give it to the children of Israel, without asking for it; which was a very singular favour, and for which they were thankful: saying to him, gather the people together, and I will give them water ; for as they were now gone from the river Arnon, and the streams and brooks of it, they might be in want of water, though they did not murmur as they had been used to do; and without their petition for it, the Lord promises to give it to them; and that they might be witness of the miracle that would be wrought for them, they are ordered to be gathered together.
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.
