{Numbers 21:14} Wherefore x5921 x3651 it is said 559 z8735 in the book 5612 of the wars 4421 of the LORD, 3068 x853 What he did 2052 in the Red sea, 5492 and in the brooks 5158 of Arnon, 769
in the book:
"And the sunª stood still,ª° and the moonª stayed,ª° until¹ the peopleª had avengedª° themselves upon their enemies.ª° [Is] not¹ thisª writtenª° in¹ the bookª of Jasher?ª So the sunª stood¹ still²° in the midstª of heaven,ª and hastedª° not¹ to go downª° about a wholeª day.ª" {Jsh 10:13} + "(Also he badeª° them teachª° the childrenª of Judahª [the use of] the bow:ª behold,¹ [it is] writtenª° in¹ the bookª of Jasher.)ª" {2Sm 1:18}
What he did:
or, Vaheb in Suphah, The following seems to be the sense of this passage: "From Vaheb in Suphah, and the torrents of Arnon, even the effusion of the torrents, which goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth for the boundary of Moab; even from thence to the well; (which is the well of which Jehovah spake unto Moses, Gather the people, and I will give them water. Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O Well! Answer ye to it. The well, princes digged it; even nobles of the people digged it, by a decree, upon their borders); and from the wilderness (or the well, as in LXX) to Mattanah; and from Mattanah," etc. The whole of this, from "Wherefore¹¹ it is saidª° in the bookª of the warsª of the LORD,ª¹ What he didª in the Red sea,ª and in the brooksª of Arnon,ª ... And from Bamothª¹ [in] the valley,ª that¹ [is] in the countryª of Moab,ª to the topª of Pisgah,ª which lookethª° towardª¹ Jeshimon.ª" {Num 21:14-20}, is a fragment from "the book of the wars of Jehovah," probably a book of remembrances or directions written by Moses for the use of Joshua, and describes the several boundaries of the land of Moab. This rendering removes every obscurity, and obviates every difficulty.
