. The heroes of early Israel. hey were on a wide plateau, in its highest por-tions over two thousand feet above the sea. Agorge cuts down through it where Arnon flows intothe deep valley of the Dead Sea. It is like thelarger side canons which cut into a great canon ofthe west, such as the Grand Canon of the Colorado.When the Hebrews reached this region, their wild-erness wandering was over. They were where, atleast a part of the year, streams gurgled and tumbleddown the sides of the ravines and all the land wasgreen with fresh springing grass. On the plains be-tween the valleys they came to a place called Beer, The Well, and here, in the joy of the wateredland, tradition said that a song arose, a chanty, long sung while they drew water from wells at theclose of the day. Spring up, O Well! Sing ye to it!To the well which the princes dug, Which the nobles of the people delved.With the leaders wand, with their staves. Perhaps the last line refers to some ceremonywhen the sheiks opened the well in the name of thetribes.. A Shepherd Carnp on the HilK F-nst of the Jordan THIRD STAGE OF THE JOURNEY 137 Soon they were over the Valley of Arnon, on thesouthern edge of a fertile country, very differentfrom the wastes they had held about Kadesh. Asa matter of fact they were now within the bordersof their permanent home. Now It happened that this region north of Arnonhad recently been over-run and conquered. TheMoabites had formerly held it as far as the Jabbok, the next valley to the north, but some of the Am-orites, one of the races which had crowded into thehills west of the Jordan, had pushed east and driventhe Moabites back south of the Arnon. Numberspreserves an old war-song, mentioning this conquest, and taunting the victors with their speedy defeat byIsrael. If the Amorites were attacked they certainlycould not expect help from their neighbors of Moab;and the Hebrews knew it and acted accordingly.They asked Sihon the Amorite king for permissionto pass through his territory.
