1These are the journeys of the children of Israel, who went out of the land of Egypt by their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.

2Now Moses wrote down the starting points of their journeys at the command of the Lord. And these are their journeys according to their starting points:

3They departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out with boldness in the sight of all the Egyptians.

4For the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, whom the Lord had killed among them. Also on their gods the Lord had executed judgments.

5Then the children of Israel moved from Rameses and camped at Succoth.

6They departed from Succoth and camped at Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness.

7They moved from Etham and turned back to Pi Hahiroth, which is east of Baal Zephon; and they camped near Migdol.

8They departed 33:8 Many Heb. mss., Sam., Syr., Tg., Vg. from Pi Hahiroth; cf. Num. 33:7from before Hahiroth and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, went three days’ journey in the Wilderness of Etham, and camped at Marah.

9They moved from Marah and came to Elim. At Elim were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees; so they camped there.

10They moved from Elim and camped by the Red Sea.

11They moved from the Red Sea and camped in the Wilderness of Sin.

12They journeyed from the Wilderness of Sin and camped at Dophkah.

13They departed from Dophkah and camped at Alush.

14They moved from Alush and camped at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.

15They departed from Rephidim and camped in the Wilderness of Sinai.

16They moved from the Wilderness of Sinai and camped at 33:16 Lit. Graves of CravingKibroth Hattaavah.

17They departed from Kibroth Hattaavah and camped at Hazeroth.

18They departed from Hazeroth and camped at Rithmah.

19They departed from Rithmah and camped at Rimmon Perez.

20They departed from Rimmon Perez and camped at Libnah.

21They moved from Libnah and camped at Rissah.

22They journeyed from Rissah and camped at Kehelathah.

23They went from Kehelathah and camped at Mount Shepher.

24They moved from Mount Shepher and camped at Haradah.

25They moved from Haradah and camped at Makheloth.

26They moved from Makheloth and camped at Tahath.

27They departed from Tahath and camped at Terah.

28They moved from Terah and camped at Mithkah.

29They went from Mithkah and camped at Hashmonah.

30They departed from Hashmonah and camped at Moseroth.

31They departed from Moseroth and camped at Bene Jaakan.

32They moved from Bene Jaakan and camped at Hor Hagidgad.

33They went from Hor Hagidgad and camped at Jotbathah.

34They moved from Jotbathah and camped at Abronah.

35They departed from Abronah and camped at Ezion Geber.

36They moved from Ezion Geber and camped in the Wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.

37They moved from Kadesh and camped at Mount Hor, on the boundary of the land of Edom.

38Then Aaron the priest went up to Mount Hor at the command of the Lord, and died there in the fortieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, on the first day of the fifth month.

39Aaron was one hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor.

40Now the king of Arad, the Canaanite, who dwelt in the South in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

41So they departed from Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah.

42They departed from Zalmonah and camped at Punon.

43They departed from Punon and camped at Oboth.

44They departed from Oboth and camped at Ije Abarim, at the border of Moab.

45They departed from 33:45 Same as Ije Abarim, v. 44Ijim and camped at Dibon Gad.

46They moved from Dibon Gad and camped at Almon Diblathaim.

47They moved from Almon Diblathaim and camped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

48They departed from the mountains of Abarim and camped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho.

49They camped by the Jordan, from Beth Jesimoth as far as the Abel Acacia Grove33:49 Heb. Abel Shittim in the plains of Moab.

50Now the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho, saying,

51“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you have crossed the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

52then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their engraved stones, destroy all their molded images, and demolish all their 33:52 Places for pagan worshiphigh places;

53you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to possess.

54And you shall divide the land by lot as an inheritance among your families; to the larger you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller inheritance; there everyone’s inheritance shall be whatever falls to him by lot. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers.

55But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall be irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land where you dwell.

56Moreover it shall be that I will do to you as I thought to do to them.’ ”
