³⁸And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the Lord: and there he died in the fortieth year of the coming forth of the children of Israel out of Egypt, the fifth month, the first day of the month,

³⁹When he was a hundred and twenty-three years old.

⁴⁰And king Arad the Chanaanite, who dwelt towards the south, heard that the children of Israel were come to the land of Chanaan.

⁴¹And they departed from mount Hor, and camped in Salmona.

⁴²From whence they removed and came to Phunon.

⁴³And departing from Phunon, they camped in Oboth.

⁴⁴And from Oboth they came to Ijeabarim, which is in the borders of the Moabites.

⁴⁵And departing from Ijeabarim they pitched their tents in Dibongab.

⁴⁶From thence they went and camped in Helmondeblathaim.

⁴⁷And departing from Helmondeblathaim, they came to the mountains of Abarim over against Nabo.

⁴⁸And departing from the mountains of Abarim, they passed to the plains of Moab, by the Jordan, over against Jericho.

⁴⁹And there they camped from Bethsimoth even to Ablesatim in the plains of the Moabites,

⁵⁰Where the Lord said to Moses:

⁵¹Command the children of Israel, and say to them: When you shall have passed over the Jordan, entering into the land of Chanaan,

⁵²Destroy all the inhabitants of that land: Beat down their pillars, and break in pieces their statues, and waste all their high places,

⁵³Cleansing the land, and dwelling in it. For I have given it you for a possession.

⁵⁴And you shall divide it among you by lot. To the more you shall give a larger part, and to the fewer a lesser. To every one as the lot shall fall, so shall the inheritance be given. The possession shall be divided by the tribes and the families.

⁵⁵But if you will not kill the inhabitants of the land: they that remain, shall be unto you as nails in your eyes, and spears in your sides, and they shall be your adversaries in the land of your habitation.

⁵⁶And whatsoever I had thought to do to them, I will do to you.
