16 The Israelites left that place and traveled to Beer.[a] There is a well in Beer, where the Lord said to Moses, “Bring the people together here, and I will give them water.” 17 Then the Israelites sang this song:

“Well, flow with water!

    Important leaders dug this well.
They dug this well with their staffs and walking sticks.
    It is a gift in the desert.”[b]
