Numbers 33

1 Here is a list of the places where the/we Israelis went as Aaron and Moses/I led them/us after they/we left Egypt.

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 Yahweh commanded Moses/me to write down the names of the places where they/we went.

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

3 On the fifteenth day of the first month [of the year], the day after we celebrated the (Passover/the time when Yahweh killed all the firstborn sons of the people of Egypt), they/we left Rameses [city in Egypt] and marched boldly while the Egyptian army was coming behind them/us.

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 As they/we left, the people of Egypt were still burying the bodies of their firstborn sons. [By killing them], Yahweh showed that the gods that the people of Egypt worshiped were false 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 After leaving Rameses, they/we first went to Succoth and set up their/our tents there.

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

6 Then they/we left Succoth and went to Etham, at the edge of the desert, and set up their/our tents there.

and they departed from Socchoth and encamped in Buthan, which is a part of the wilderness.

7 Then they/we left Etham and returned to Pi-Hahiroth, to the east of Baal-Zephon, and set up their/our tents near Migdol.

And they departed from Buthan and encamped at the mouth of Iroth, which is opposite Beel-sepphon, and encamped opposite Magdol.

8 Then they/we left Pi-Hahiroth and walked through the [Red] Sea into the Etham Desert, and set their/our tents at Marah.

And they departed from before Iroth, and crossed the middle of the sea into the wilderness; and they went a journey of three days through the wilderness, and encamped in Picriae.

9 Then they/we left Marah and went to Elim. There were twelve springs and 70 palm trees there. They/We set up our tents there.

And they departed from Picriae, and came to Aelim; and in Aelim [were] twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm-trees, and they encamped there by the water.

10 Then they/we left Elim and went to the area near the Red Sea and set up their/our tents there.

And they departed from Aelim, and encamped by the Red Sea.

11 Then they/we left the Red Sea area and went to the area near the Sin Desert and set up their/our tents there.

And they departed from Rathama, and encamped in Remmon Phares.

20 Then they/we left Rimmon-Perez and went to Libnah and set up their/our tents there.

And they departed from Remmon Phares, and encamped in Lebona.

21 Then they/we left Libnah and went to Rissah and set up their/our tents there.

32 Then they/we left Bene-Jaakan and went to Hor-Haggidgad and set up their/our tents there.

And they departed from Banaea, and encamped in the mountain Gadgad.

33 Then they/we left Hor-Haggidgad and went to Jotbathah and set up their/our tents there.

And they departed from the mountain Gadgad, and encamped in Etebatha.

34 Then they/we left Jotbathah and went to Abronah and set up their/our tents there.

36 Then they/we left Ezion-Geber and went to Zin Desert and set up their/our tents at Kadesh there.

And they departed from Gesion Gaber, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin; and they departed from the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in the wilderness of Pharan; this is Cades.

37 Then they/we left Kadesh and went to Hor Mountain, at the border of Edom land and set up their/our tents there.

And they departed from Cades, and encamped in mount Or near the land of Edom.

38 Aaron, the priest, obeyed Yahweh and climbed up the mountain. There he died, on the first day of their/our fifth month, 40 years after the/we Israelis left Egypt.

And Aaron the priest went up by the command of the Lord, and died there in the forties year of the departure of the children of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first [day] of the month.

39 Aaron was 123 years old when he died.

And Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old, when he died in mount Or.

40 (That was when the king of Arad [city] heard that the/we Israelis were coming. Arad was in the southern part of Canaan, where the Canaan people-group lived.)

And Arad the Chananitish king (he too lived in the land of Chanaan) having heard when the children of Israel were entering [the land]—

41 The Israelis left Hor Mountain and went to Zalmonah and set up their/our tents there.

then they departed from mount Or, and encamped in Selmona.

42 Then they/we left Zalmonah and went to Punon and set up their/our tents there.

And they departed from Selmona, and encamped in Phino.

43 Then they/we left Punon and went to Oboth and set up their/our tents there.

And they departed from Daebon Gad, and encamped in Gelmon Deblathaim.

47 Then they/we left Almon-Diblathaim and went to the Abarim Mountains, near Nebo and set up their/our tents there.

And they departed from Gelmon Deblathaim, and encamped on the mountains of Abarim, over against Nabau.

48 Then they/we left the Abarim Mountains and went to the plains of the Moab region, near the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.

And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped on the west of Moab, at Jordan by Jericho.

49 They/We set up our tents there; their/our tents stretched [for several miles/km.] from Beth-Jeshimoth to Acacia.

And they encamped by Jordan between Aesimoth, as far as Belsa to the west of Moab.

50 While we were there on the plains of the Moab [region] near the Jordan [River], across from Jericho, Yahweh spoke to Moses/me. He said,

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

51 “Tell this to the Israeli people: When you cross the Jordan [River] and enter the Canaan [region],

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 force all the people who live there to leave. Destroy all their carved statues and all their idols made of metal. Wreck all the places where they worship [their idols].

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 Take their land from them and start to live there, because I have given their land to you for you to own.

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 “Divide up the land by throwing (lots/small stones which have been marked) [to decide which group will get which area]. Give the larger areas to the groups that have more people, and give the smaller areas to the groups that have fewer people. Each tribe will receive its own land.

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 If you do not force the people who live there to leave, they will cause you to have much trouble. They will be like sharp hooks in your eyes, and like thorns in your sides. And they will bring trouble to you, in that land where you will be living.

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 And then I will punish you, as I had planned to punish them.”

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