11 from whence they went forth, and setted tents in Iyeabarim, in the wilderness that beholdeth Moab, against the east coast. (and they went forth from there, and pitched their tents in Iyeabarim, in the wilderness on Moab's eastern border.)
12 And they moved from thence, and came to the strand of Zared; (And they went from there, and came to the valley of the Zared River;)
13 which they left, and setted tents against (the) Arnon, which is in the desert, and it appeareth in the coasts of Amorites.

The Arnon River is the border of Moab, and it separateth the Moabites and the Amorites.)
14 Wherefore it is said in the book of battles of the Lord, As he did in the Red Sea, so he shall do in the strands of (the) Arnon; (And so it is said in the Book of the Battles of the Lord, As he did at the Red Sea, so he also did at the Arnon River,)
