SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:19
Y de Matana a Nahaliel; y de Nahaliel a Bamot.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. And from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth .] All the Targums interpret this, and the following verse, not of the journeying of the children of Israel, but of the motion of the well, that that, from the place from whence it was given them, descended with them into the valleys, and from thence to the high places, as these words signify: and indeed those places are not mentioned in the journeys of the children of Israel, ( Numbers 33:1-56) and were not stations where they pitched, but places they passed through before they came to Abarim, and the wilderness of Kedemoth.
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.
