< Numbers 33 >
1 These 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.
These are the mansions of the children of Israel, who went out of Egypt by their troops under the conduct of Moses and Aaron,
2 And 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.
Which Moses wrote down according to the places of their encamping, which they changed by the commandment of the Lord.
3 On 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,
Now the children of Israel departed from Ramesses the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month, the day after the phase, with a mighty hand, in the eight of all the Egyptians,
4 While 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.
Who were burying their firstborn, whom the Lord had slain (upon their gods also he had executed vengeance, )
5 So the children of Israel went from Rameses and put up their tents in Succoth.
And they camped in Soccoth.
6 And they went on from Succoth and put up their tents in Etham on the edge of the waste land.
And from Soccoth they came into Etham, which is in the uttermost borders of the wilderness.
7 And from Etham, turning back to Pi-hahiroth which is before Baal-zephon, they put up their tents before Migdol.
Departing from thence they came over against Phihahiroth, which looketh towards Beelsephon, and they camped before Magdalum.
8 And 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.
And departing from Phihahiroth, they passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness: and having marched three days through the desert of Etham, they camped in Mara.
9 And 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.
And departing from Mara, they came into Elim, where there were twelve fountains of waters, and seventy palm trees: and there they camped.
10 And they went on from Elim and put up their tents by the Red Sea.
But departing from thence also, they pitched their tents by the Red Sea. And departing from the Red Sea,
11 Then from the Red Sea they went on and put up their tents in the waste land of Sin.
They camped in the desert of Sin.
12 And they went on from the waste land of Sin, and put up their tents in Dophkah.

And departing from Alus, they pitched their tents in Raphidim, where the people wanted water to drink.
15 And they went on from Rephidim, and put up their tents in the waste land of Sinai.
And departing from Raphidim, they camped in the desert of Sinai.
16 And they went on from the waste land of Sinai and put up their tents in Kibroth-hattaavah.
But departing also from the desert of Sinai, they came to the graves of lust.
17 And they went on from Kibroth-hattaavah, and put up their tents in Hazeroth.
And departing from the graves of lust, they camped in Haseroth.
18 And they went on from Hazeroth, and put up their tents in Rithmah.
And from Haseroth they came to Rethma.
19 And they went on from Rithmah, and put up their tents in Rimmon-perez.
And departing from Rethma, they camped in Remmomphares.
20 And they went on from Rimmon-perez, and put up their tents in Libnah.
And they departed from thence and came to Lebna.
21 And they went on from Libnah, and put up their tents in Rissah.
Removing from Lebna they camped in Ressa.
22 And they went on from Rissah, and put up their tents in Kehelathah.
And departing from Ressa, they came to Ceelatha.
23 And they went on from Kehelathah, and put up their tents in Mount Shepher.
And they removed from thence and camped in the mountain Sepher.
24 And they went on from Mount Shepher, and put up their tents in Haradah.
Departing from the mountain Sepher, they came to Arada.
25 And they went on from Haradah, and put up their tents in Makheloth.

And removing from Moseroth, they camped in Benejaacan.
32 And they went on from Bene-jaakan, and put up their tents in Hor-haggidgad.
And departing from Benejaacan, they came to mount Gadgad.
33 And they went on from Hor-haggidgad, and put up their tents in Jotbathah.

And departing from Hebrona, they camped in Asiongaber.
36 And they went on from Ezion-geber, and put up their tents in the waste land of Zin (which is Kadesh).
They removed from thence and came into the desert of Sin, which is Cades.
37 And they went on from Kadesh, and put up their tents in Mount Hor, on the edge of the land of Edom.
And departing from Cades, they camped in mount Her, in the uttermost borders of the land of Edom.
38 And 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.
And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the Lord: and there he died in the fortieth year of the coming forth of the children of Israel out of Egypt, the fifth month, the first day of the month,
39 Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old at the time of his death in Mount Hor.
When he was a hundred and twenty-three years old.
40 And 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.
And king Arad the Chanaanite, who dwelt towards the south, heard that the children of Israel were come to the land of Chanaan.
41 And from Mount Hor they went on, and put up their tents in Zalmonah.
And they departed from mount Her, and camped in Salmona.
42 And they went on from Zalmonah, and put up their tents in Punon.
From whence they removed and came to Phunon.

47 And from Almon-diblathaim they went on, and put up their tents in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
And departing from Helmondeblathaim, they came to the mountains of Abarim over against Nabo.
48 And they went on from the mountains of Abarim, and put up their tents in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho;
And departing from the mountains of Abarim, they passed to the plains of Moab, by the Jordan, over against Jericho.
49 Planting their tents by the side of Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim in the lowlands of Moab.
And there they camped from Bethsi moth even to Ablesatim in the plains of the Moabites,
50 And in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho, the Lord said to Moses,
Where the Lord said to Moses:
51 Say to the children of Israel, When you go over Jordan into the land of Canaan,
Command the children of Israel, and say to them: When you shall have passed over the Jordan, entering into the land of Chanaan,
52 See 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:
Destroy all the inhabitants of that land: beat down their pillars, and break in pieces their statues, and waste all their high places,
53 And take the land for yourselves, for your resting-place: for to you I have given the land as your heritage.
Cleansing the land, and dwelling in it. For I have given it you for a possession.
54 And 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.
And you shall divide it among you by lot. To the more you shall give a larger part, and to the fewer a lesser. To every one as the lot shall fall, so shall the inheritance be given. The possession shall be divided by the tribes and the families.
55 But 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.
But if you will not kill the inhabitants of the land: they that remain, shall be unto you as nails in your eyes, and spears in your sides, and they shall be your adversaries in the land of your habitation.
56 And it will come about that as it was my purpose to do to them, so I will do to you.
And whatsoever I had thought to do to them, I will do to you.
