Review of the Journey from Egypt to Jordan

1 These are the journeys of the sons of Israel, by which they came out of the land of Egypt by their armies, ^{▼▼Lit by the hand}under ^bthe leadership of Moses and Aaron. 2 Moses recorded their starting places according to their journeys by the ^{▼▼Lit mouth}command of the Lord, and these are their journeys according to their starting places. 3 ^dNow they journeyed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Passover the sons of Israel ^estarted out ^{▼▼Lit with a high hand}boldly in the sight of all the Egyptians, 4 while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn whom the Lord had fatally struck among them. The Lord had also executed judgments ^gagainst their gods.

5 Then ^hthe sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses and camped in Succoth. 6 ⁱThey journeyed from Succoth and camped in Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness. 7 ^jThen they journeyed from Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, which faces Baal-zephon; and they camped before Migdol. 8 ^kThey journeyed ^{▼▼Many mss and some ancient versions; MT from before Hahiroth}from Pi-hahiroth and passed through the midst of the sea to the wilderness; and ^mthey went three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham and camped at Marah. 9 ⁿThey journeyed from Marah and came to Elim; and in Elim there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there. 10 They journeyed from Elim and camped by the ^{▼▼Lit Sea of Reeds}Red Sea. 11 And they journeyed from the ^{▼▼Lit Sea of Reeds}Red Sea and camped in ^qthe wilderness of Sin. 12 They journeyed from the wilderness of Sin and camped at Dophkah. 13 They journeyed from Dophkah and camped at Alush. 14 And they journeyed from Alush and camped ^rat Rephidim; now it was there that the people had no water to drink. 15 And they journeyed from Rephidim and camped in ^sthe wilderness of Sinai. 16 They journeyed from the wilderness of Sinai, and camped at ^tKibroth-hattaavah.

17 They journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah and camped at ^uHazeroth. 18 They journeyed from Hazeroth and camped at Rithmah. 19 They journeyed from Rithmah and camped at Rimmon-perez. 20 They journeyed from Rimmon-perez and camped at ^vLibnah. 21 They journeyed from Libnah and camped at Rissah. 22 They journeyed from Rissah and camped in Kehelathah. 23 They journeyed from Kehelathah and camped at Mount Shepher. 24 They journeyed from Mount Shepher and camped at Haradah. 25 They journeyed from Haradah and camped at Makheloth. 26 They journeyed from Makheloth and camped at Tahath. 27 They journeyed from Tahath and camped at Terah. 28 They journeyed from Terah and camped at Mithkah. 29 They journeyed from Mithkah and camped at Hashmonah. 30 They journeyed from Hashmonah and camped at ^wMoseroth. 31 They journeyed from Moseroth and camped at Bene-jaakan. 32 They journeyed from ^xBene-jaakan and camped at Hor-haggidgad. 33 They journeyed from Hor-haggidgad and camped at ^yJotbathah. 34 They journeyed from Jotbathah and camped at Abronah. 35 They journeyed from Abronah and camped at ^zEzion-geber. 36 They journeyed from Ezion-geber and camped in the wilderness of ^aaZin, that is, Kadesh. 37 They journeyed from Kadesh and camped at ^abMount Hor, ^acat the edge of the land of Edom.

38 ^adThen Aaron the priest went up to Mount Hor at the ^{▼▼Lit mouth}command of the Lord, and died there in the fortieth year after the sons of Israel had come from the land of Egypt, on the first day in the fifth month. 39 Aaron was 123 years old when he died on Mount Hor.

40 Now the Canaanite, the king of ^afArad ^{▼▼Lit and he}who lived in the ^{▼▼I.e., South country}Negev in the land of Canaan, heard about the coming of the sons of Israel.

41 Then they journeyed from Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah. 42 They journeyed from Zalmonah and camped at Punon. 43 They journeyed from Punon and camped at ^aiOboth. 44 They journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim, at the border of Moab. 45 They journeyed from Iyim and camped at Dibon-gad. 46 They journeyed from Dibon-gad and camped at Almon-diblathaim. 47 They journeyed from Almon-diblathaim and camped in the mountains of ^ajAbarim, before Nebo. 48 They journeyed from the mountains of Abarim and ^akcamped in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan opposite Jericho. 49 They camped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth as far as ^alAbel-shittim, in the plains of Moab.

Law for Possessing the Land

50 Then the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying, 51 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘ ^amWhen you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52 you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from you, and ^andestroy all their idolatrous sculptures, destroy all their cast metal images, and eliminate all their high places; 53 ^aoand you shall take possession of the land and live in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it. 54 ^apYou shall maintain the land as an inheritance by lot according to your families; to the larger you shall give more inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give less inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that shall be his. You shall pass on land as an inheritance according to the tribes of your fathers. 55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from you, then it will come about that those whom you let remain of them will be ^aqlike thorns in your eyes and like pricks in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you live. 56 And just as I plan to do to them, I will do to you.’”
