Numbers 33

1 This is a record of the journeys made by the Israelites as they left Egypt in their tribal divisions led by Moses and Aaron.

And these are the stages of the children of Israel, as they went out from the land of Egypt with their host by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

2 Moses recorded the different parts of their journey as instructed by the Lord. These are the journeys they made listed in order from where they started:

And Moses wrote their removals and their stages, by the word of the Lord: and these are the stages of their journeying.

3 The Israelites left Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month, the day after the Passover. They set out in triumph as all the Egyptians watched.

They departed from Ramesses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the passover the children of Israel went forth with a high hand before all the Egyptians.

4 The Egyptians were burying all their firstborn that the Lord had killed, for the Lord had brought down his judgments on their gods.

And the Egyptians buried those that died of them, even all that the Lord struck, every firstborn in the land of Egypt; also the Lord executed vengeance on their gods.

5 The Israelites left Rameses and set up camp at Succoth.

And the children of Israel departed from Ramesses, and encamped in Socchoth:

50 This was where, on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan opposite Jericho, that the Lord told Moses,

And the Lord spoke to Moses at the west of Moab by Jordan at Jericho, saying,

51 “Tell the Israelites, ‘Once you cross the Jordan and enter the country of Canaan,

Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, You are to pass over Jordan into the land of Chanaan.

52 you must drive out everyone living in the land, destroy all their carved images and metal idols, and tear down all their pagan temples.

And you shall destroy all that dwell in the land before your face, and you shall abolish their high places, and all their molten images you shall destroy, and you shall demolish all their pillars.

53 You are to take over the country and settle there, because I have given you the land and it belongs to you.

And you shall destroy all the inhabitants of the land, and you shall dwell in it, for I have given their land to you for an inheritance.

54 You are to divide the land and allocate it by lot to the different tribal families. Give a larger portion to a larger family, and a smaller portion to a smaller family. Each one's allocation is decided by lot, and you will all receive an allocation depending on your tribe.

And you shall inherit their land according to your tribes; to the greater number you shall give the larger possession, and to the smaller you shall give the less possession; to whatever [part] a man's name shall go forth [by lot], there shall be his [property]: you shall inherit according to the tribes of your families.

55 But if you don't drive out everyone living in the land, the people you allow to remain will be like grit in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will cause you trouble where you settle in the country.

But if you will not destroy the dwellers in the land from before you, then it shall come to pass that whoever of them you shall leave shall be thorns in your eyes, and darts in your sides, and they shall be enemies to you on the land on which you shall dwell;

56 Eventually the punishment I planned for them I will inflict on you.”

and it shall come to pass that as I had determined to do to them, so I will do to you.
