Numbers 33

¹These are the journeys of the children of Israel, when they went out of the land of Egypt in their armies, under the direction of Moses and Aaron.

²And the stages of their journey on their way out were put down in writing by Moses at the order of the Lord: these are the stages of their journey and the way they went.

³On the fifteenth day of the first month they went out from Rameses; on the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out by the power of the Lord before the eyes of all the Egyptians,

⁴While the Egyptians were placing in the earth the bodies of their sons on whom the Lord had sent destruction: and their gods had been judged by him.

⁵So the children of Israel went from Rameses and put up their tents in Succoth.

⁶And they went on from Succoth and put up their tents in Etham on the edge of the waste land.

⁷And from Etham, turning back to Pi-hahiroth which is before Baal-zephon, they put up their tents before Migdol.

⁸And journeying on from before Hahiroth, they went through the sea into the waste land: they went three days' journey through the waste land of Etham and put up their tents in Marah.

⁹And from Marah they went on to Elim: and in Elim there were twelve water-springs and seventy palm-trees; and they put up their tents there.

¹⁰And they went on from Elim and put up their tents by the Red Sea.

¹¹Then from the Red Sea they went on and put up their tents in the waste land of Sin.

¹⁵And they went on from Rephidim, and put up their tents in the waste land of Sinai.

¹⁶And they went on from the waste land of Sinai and put up their tents in Kibroth-hattaavah.

¹⁷And they went on from Kibroth-hattaavah, and put up their tents in Hazeroth.

¹⁸And they went on from Hazeroth, and put up their tents in Rithmah.

²⁸And they went on from Terah, and put up their tents in Mithkah.

²⁹And they went on from Mithkah, and put up their tents in Hashmonah.

³⁰And they went on from Hashmonah, and put up their tents in Moseroth.

³¹And they went on from Moseroth, and put up their tents in Bene-jaakan.

³²And they went on from Bene-jaakan, and put up their tents in Hor-haggidgad.

³³And they went on from Hor-haggidgad, and put up their tents in Jotbathah.

³⁴And they went on from Jotbathah, and put up their tents in Abronah.

³⁵And they went on from Abronah, and put up their tents in Ezion-geber.

³⁶And they went on from Ezion-geber, and put up their tents in the waste land of Zin (which is Kadesh).

³⁷And they went on from Kadesh, and put up their tents in Mount Hor, on the edge of the land of Edom.

³⁸And Aaron the priest went up into the mountain at the order of the Lord, and came to his death there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the month.

³⁹Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old at the time of his death in Mount Hor.

⁴⁰And news of the coming of the children of Israel came to the king of Arad, the Canaanite, who was living in the South in the land of Canaan.

⁴¹And from Mount Hor they went on, and put up their tents in Zalmonah.

⁴²And they went on from Zalmonah, and put up their tents in Punon.

⁴³And they went on from Punon, and put up their tents in Oboth.

⁴⁴And they went on from Oboth, and put up their tents in Iye-abarim at the edge of Moab.

⁴⁵And they went on from Iyim, and put up their tents in Dibon-gad.

⁴⁶And from Dibon-gad they went on, and put up their tents in Almon-diblathaim.

⁴⁷And from Almon-diblathaim they went on, and put up their tents in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

⁴⁸And they went on from the mountains of Abarim, and put up their tents in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho;

⁴⁹Planting their tents by the side of Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim in the lowlands of Moab.

⁵⁰And in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho, the Lord said to Moses,

⁵¹Say to the children of Israel, When you go over Jordan into the land of Canaan,

⁵²See that all the people of the land are forced out from before you, and put to destruction all their pictured stones, and all their metal images, and all their high places:

⁵³And take the land for yourselves, for your resting-place: for to you I have given the land as your heritage.

⁵⁴And you will take up your heritage in the land by the decision of the Lord, to every family its part; the greater the family the greater its heritage, and the smaller the family the smaller will be its heritage; wherever the decision of the Lord gives to any man his part, that will be his; distribution will be made to you by your fathers' tribes.

⁵⁵But if you are slow in driving out the people of the land, then those of them who are still there will be like pin-points in your eyes and like thorns in your sides, troubling you in the land where you are living.

⁵⁶And it will come about that as it was my purpose to do to them, so I will do to you.

⁵¹Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, "When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

⁵²then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their stone idols, destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places.

⁵³You shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein; for I have given given the land to you to possess it.

⁵⁴You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance: wherever the lot falls to any man, that shall be his. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers.

⁵⁵"But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those you let remain of them will be as pricks in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will harass you in the land in which you dwell.

⁵⁶It shall happen that as I thought to do to them, so will I do to you."
