Numbers 33:37–56

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

³⁸Then ^xAaron 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 ^ythe 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 ^zcamped at Oboth. ^44aThey departed from Oboth and camped at Ije Abarim, at the border of Moab. ⁴⁵They departed from ³Ijim and camped ^bat Dibon Gad. ⁴⁶They moved from Dibon Gad and camped at ^cAlmon Diblathaim. ⁴⁷They moved from Almon Diblathaim ^dand camped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. ⁴⁸They departed from the mountains of Abarim and ^ecamped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho. ⁴⁹They camped by the Jordan, from Beth Jesimoth as far as the ^fAbel Acacia Grove ⁴in the plains of Moab.

Instructions for the Conquest of Canaan

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: ^g‘When you have crossed the Jordan into the land of Canaan, ^52hthen 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 ⁵high places; ⁵³you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to ⁱpossess. ⁵⁴And ^jyou 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 ^kirritants 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.’ ”
