Context — The Journey to Moab
17Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well, all of you sing to it!
18The princes dug the well; the nobles of the people hollowed it out with their scepters and with their staffs.” From the wilderness the Israelites went on to Mattanah,
19and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

This verse, Numbers 21:19, talks about the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, where they stopped at different places like Mattanah, Nahaliel, and Bamoth. These stops were important for their survival and spiritual journey, as they were guided by God (as seen in Exodus 13:18 and Deuteronomy 8:2-3). Just like the Israelites, we can trust God to guide and provide for us on our own journey of faith, even when the path ahead is uncertain (as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Jeremiah 29:11). By reflecting on God's faithfulness and provision in our lives, we can deepen our trust in Him and celebrate His goodness, just like the Israelites did in Numbers 21:17-18.

Cambridge Bible on Numbers 21:19
19. and from Mattanah to Nahaliel] If Budde’s suggestion in the preceding note is correct, the original reading here was perhaps ‘and from thence to N.’, as in Numbers 21:16 after the insertion of the foregoing song, or, following the hint in the LXX. , ‘and from Beer to N.’ Nahaliel is unknown. It means ‘the wady of God.’ G. A. Smith (H. G. [Note: . G. Historical Geography of the Holy Land.] 562) suggests the Wady Zerkâ Ma‘în with its healing springs, which flows into the Dead Sea about midway between its northern end and the mouth of the Arnon. Bamoth] The name means ‘high places.’ These were numerous in the hilly country of Moab, so that the place cannot be safely identified. It is probably an abbreviation of a compound name, and may be the same as Bamoth-Baal (Numbers 22:41 marg., Joshua 13:17). ‘Beth-Bamoth’ (perhaps the same place) occurs in Mesha’s inscription, known as the Moabite stone. (See Hastings’ DB. iii. 407.) Bamoth was probably a high place not far south of the ‘valley’ of Numbers 21:20.
Barnes' Notes on Numbers 21:19
Nahaliel - i. e. “brook of God;” the modern Wady Enkheileh. The Israelites must have crossed the stream not much above Ar.
Whedon's Commentary on Numbers 21:19
19. Nahaliel to Bamoth — Neither of these can be certainly identified.The former is supposed to be some wady north of the Arnon, and the latter Knobel identifies with “the high places of Baal,” or
