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.
