The well and Israel’s song
On the well and its song: the reading of the well where Israel sang overflows with mysteries. This is the well of which the Lord said to Moses, Gather the people, and I will give them water to drink.
Latin
De puteo et cantico eius. Lectio putei et cantici quod apud puteum cecinit Israel redundat mysteriis. Hic est puteus quem dixit Dominus: congrega populum et dabo eis aquam bibere.
