Contextual Overview
10The Israelites set out and camped at Oboth. 11They set out from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the wilderness that borders Moab on the east. 12From there they went and camped at Zered Valley. 13They set out from there and camped on the other side of the Arnon River, in the wilderness that extends from the Amorite border, because the Arnon was the Moabite border between Moab and the Amorites. 14Therefore it is stated in the Book of the Lord’s Wars: 15even the slopes of the ravinesthat extend to the site of Arand lie along the border of Moab. 16From there they went to Beer, the well the Lord told Moses about, “Gather the people so I may give them water.” 17Then Israel sang this song:18The princes dug the well;the nobles of the people hollowed it outwith a scepter and with their staffs. 19from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Israel sang this song,.... Being affected with the free favour and good will of God towards them:
spring up, O well; for the springing up of which they prayed in faith, believing in the promise of God, that it would spring up; and so encouraged one another not only to believe it, but even to sing on account of it before it actually did:
sing ye unto it; or on account of it praise the Lord for it; or "answer to it" m, it being their manner to sing their songs by responses, or alternately.
m ×¢× × ×× "respondete ei", Montanus; "alternis canite ei", Tigurine version, Piscator.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This song, recognized by all authorities as dating from the earliest times, and suggested apparently by the fact that God in this place gave the people water not from the rock, but by commanding Moses to cause a well to be dug, bespeaks the glad zeal, the joyful faith, and the hearty cooperation among all ranks, which possessed the people. In after time it may well have been the water-drawing song of the maidens of Israel.
Numbers 21:18
By the direction of the lawgiver - Some render, with the lawgiverâs scepter; i. e. under the direction and with the authority of Moses; compare Genesis 49:10, and note.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 21:17. Spring up, O well, &c. — This is one of the most ancient war songs in the world, but is not easily understood, which is commonly the case with all very ancient compositions, especially the poetic. Exodus 15:1; Exodus 15:1, &c.
