Numbers 33–35

33These are the journeys of the children of Israel, when they went forth out of the land of Egypt by their hosts under the hand of Moses and Aaron. ²And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of Jehovah: and these are their journeys according to their goings out. ³And they journeyed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians, ⁴while the Egyptians were burying all their first-born, whom Jehovah had smitten among them: upon their gods also Jehovah executed judgments.

⁵And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses, and encamped in Succoth. ⁶And they journeyed from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness. ⁷And they journeyed from Etham, and turned back unto Pi-hahiroth, which is before Baal-zephon: and they encamped before Migdol. ⁸And they journeyed from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness: and they went three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah. ⁹And they journeyed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve springs of water, and threescore and ten palm-trees; and they encamped there. ¹⁰And they journeyed from Elim, and encamped by the Red Sea. ¹¹And they journeyed from the Red Sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin. ¹²And they journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah. ¹³And they journeyed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush. ¹⁴And they journeyed from Alush, and encamped in Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink. ¹⁵And they journeyed from Rephidim, and encamped in the wilderness of Sinai. ¹⁶And they journeyed from the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped in Kibroth-hattaavah. ¹⁷And they journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped in Hazeroth. ¹⁸And they journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in Rithmah. ¹⁹And they journeyed from Rithmah, and encamped in Rimmon-perez. ²⁰And they journeyed from Rimmon-perez, and encamped in Libnah. ²¹And they journeyed from Libnah, and encamped in Rissah. ²²And they journeyed from Rissah, and encamped in Kehelathah. ²³And they journeyed from Kehelathah, and encamped in mount Shepher. ²⁴And they journeyed from mount Shepher, and encamped in Haradah. ²⁵And they journeyed from Haradah, and encamped in Makheloth. ²⁶And they journeyed from Makheloth, and encamped in Tahath. ²⁷And they journeyed from Tahath, and encamped in Terah. ²⁸And they journeyed from Terah, and encamped in Mithkah. ²⁹And they journeyed from Mithkah, and encamped in Hashmonah. ³⁰And they journeyed from Hashmonah, and encamped in Moseroth. ³¹And they journeyed from Moseroth, and encamped in Bene-jaakan. ³²And they journeyed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped in Hor-haggidgad. ³³And they journeyed from Hor-haggidgad, and encamped in Jotbathah. ³⁴And they journeyed from Jotbathah, and encamped in Abronah. ³⁵And they journeyed from Abronah, and encamped in Ezion-geber. ³⁶And they journeyed from Ezion-geber, and encamped in the wilderness of Zin (the same is Kadesh). ³⁷And they journeyed from Kadesh, and encamped in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.

³⁸And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of Jehovah, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the month. ³⁹And Aaron was a hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.

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

⁴¹And they journeyed from mount Hor, and encamped in Zalmonah. ⁴²And they journeyed from Zalmonah, and encamped in Punon. ⁴³And they journeyed from Punon, and encamped in Oboth. ⁴⁴And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped in Iye-abarim, in the border of Moab. ⁴⁵And they journeyed from Iyim, and encamped in Dibon-gad. ⁴⁶And they journeyed from Dibon-gad, and encamped in Almon-diblathaim. ⁴⁷And they journeyed from Almon-diblathaim, and encamped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. ⁴⁸And they journeyed from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. ⁴⁹And they encamped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth even unto Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.

⁵⁰And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, ⁵¹Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, ⁵²then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured stones, and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places: ⁵³and ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein; for unto you have I given the land to possess it. ⁵⁴And ye shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance: wheresoever the lot falleth to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye inherit. ⁵⁵But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then shall those that ye let remain of them be as pricks in your eyes, and as thorns in your sides, and they shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell. ⁵⁶And it shall come to pass, that, as I thought to do unto them, so will I do unto you.

34And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, ²Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof), ³then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward; ⁴and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon; ⁵and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be at the sea.

⁶And for the western border, ye shall have the great sea and the border thereof: this shall be your west border.

⁷And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor; ⁸from mount Hor ye shall mark out unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad; ⁹and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.

¹⁰And ye shall mark out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham; ¹¹and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward; ¹²and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about.

¹³And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which Jehovah hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe; ¹⁴for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their fathers’ houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers’ houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance: ¹⁵the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

¹⁶And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, ¹⁷These are the names of the men that shall divide the land unto you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. ¹⁸And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance. ¹⁹And these are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. ²⁰And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud. ²¹Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. ²²And of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli. ²³Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod. ²⁴And of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. ²⁵And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. ²⁶And of the tribe of the children of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan. ²⁷And of the tribe of the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. ²⁸And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud. ²⁹These are they whom Jehovah commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

35And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, ²Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and suburbs for the cities round about them shall ye give unto the Levites. ³And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts. ⁴And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about. ⁵And ye shall measure without the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. ⁶And the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give for the manslayer to flee unto: and besides them ye shall give forty and two cities. ⁷All the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities; them shall ye give…
