The miracles were as follows:The mountains in this area were very high and the valley was very deep and narrow so the mountains were so close to one another that if one person stood on top of one mountain, they could talk to their friend on top of the mountain next to it. The valley served as a border between the two sides, that of the Moabites and the Amorites. On the Moabites's side, there were caves in the mountain and on the Amorite side (this side later became part of Israel's territory), the mountain had horn and breast shaped protrusions that pointed outwards. The Amorites hid inside of the Moabite caves and planned on killing the Israelites with arrows and catapult stones as the Israelites passed. However as the Israelites passed, the Moabites' side of the mountain trembled like a slave woman going out to greet her mistress and the protrusions came close to the other mountain and entered into the caves on the other side killing the Amorites there. The Israelites passed through the area oblivious to this miracle.After Israel passed, these mountains returned to their places and the well (which had been with them since the beginning of their journeys) went down into the valley and brought up the blood of those who were killed as well as their arms and limbs. This is how the Israelites became aware of this miracle and sang a song of praise for this miracle. This was the well which Moshe and Aaron had dug with the staff.The Chumash now gives the text of the song which they sang (see Chumash Bamidbar verses 17-20 for the text of the song).The song sings praises to the well which "the ministers" (meaning Moshe and Aaron) dug and hewed by the "nobles" of the people (this is alluding to the princes of each tribe who would take their stick to mark the division of their camp when they would encamp and the waters of the well would run that way and pass by the tribe's camping place). The well was given to them as gift from the valley to the heights to the ravine that is in the field of Moav (where Moshe died), seen over the surface of a place named Yeshimon, so called because it is desolate (or alternatively because the well was hidden in the Tiberias sea and could be seen from the ground of Yeshimom, in the form of a sieve like shape.Moshe's name is not mentioned in the song as he was not stricken through the well. G-d is also not mentioned. Rashi says that this is like a king who is invited to a banquet who says that if his close friend is not there he will not go.
