Israel's Journey from Egypt to Moab
1As Israel traveled from Egypt under the command of Moses and Aaron, 2Moses kept a list of the places they camped, just as the Lord had instructed. Here is the record of their journey:
3-4Israel left the Egyptian city of Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month.#33.3,4 first month: See the note at 9.3. This was the day after the Lord had punished Egypt's gods by killing the first-born sons in every Egyptian family. So while the Egyptians were burying the bodies, they watched the Israelites proudly#33.3,4 proudly: Or “bravely.” leave their country.
5After the Israelites left Rameses, they camped at Succoth, 6and from there, they moved their camp to Etham on the edge of the desert. 7Then they turned back toward Pi-Hahiroth, east of Baal-Zephon, and camped near Migdol. 8They left Pi-Hahiroth,#33.8 Pi-Hahiroth: Two ancient translations and the Samaritan Hebrew Text; the Standard Hebrew Text “a place near Hahiroth.” crossed the Red Sea,#33.8 Red Sea: Hebrew hayyam, “the Sea,” understood as yam suph, “Sea of Reeds” (see also the note at Exodus 13.18). then walked three days into the Etham Desert and camped at Marah. 9Next, they camped at Elim, where there were 12 springs of water and 70 palm trees. 10They left Elim and camped near the Red Sea,#33.10 Red Sea: Hebrew yam suph, here referring to the Gulf of Suez, since the term is extended to include the northwestern arm of the Red Sea (see also the note at Exodus 13.18). 11then turned east and camped along the western edge of the Sinai Desert.#33.11 the western edge of the Sinai Desert: Hebrew “the Sin Desert.” 12-14From there they went to Dophkah, Alush, and Rephidim, where they had no water.#33.12-14 Rephidim … no water: See Exodus 17.1-7. 15They left Rephidim and finally reached the Sinai Desert.
16-36As Israel traveled from the Sinai Desert to Kadesh in the Zin Desert, they camped at Kibroth-Hattaavah, Hazeroth, Rithmah, Rimmon-Perez, Libnah, Rissah, Kehelathah, Mount Shepher, Haradah, Makheloth, Tahath, Terah, Mithkah, Hashmonah, Moseroth, Bene-Jaakan, Hor-Haggidgad, Jotbathah, Abronah, Ezion-Geber, and finally Kadesh. 37When they left Kadesh, they came to Mount Hor, on the border of Edom.
38 #
Nu 20.22-28; Dt 10.6; 32.50. That's where the Lord commanded Aaron the priest to go to the top of the mountain. Aaron died there on the first day of the fifth month,#33.38 fifth month: Ab, the fifth month of the Hebrew calendar, from about mid-July to mid-August. 40 years after the Israelites left Egypt. 39He was 123 years old at the time.
40 #
Nu 21.1. It was then that the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Southern Desert of Canaan, heard that Israel was headed that way.
41-47The Israelites left Mount Hor and headed toward Moab. Along the way, they camped at Zalmonah, Punon, Oboth, Iye-Abarim in the territory of Moab, Dibon-Gad, Almon-Diblathaim, at a place near Mount Nebo in the Abarim Mountains, 48and finally in the lowlands of Moab across the Jordan River from Jericho. 49Their camp stretched from Beth-Jeshimoth to Acacia.
The Lord's Command To Conquer Canaan
50While Israel was camped in the lowlands of Moab across the Jordan River from Jericho, the Lord told Moses 51to give the people of Israel this message:
When you cross the Jordan River and enter Canaan, 52you must force out the people living there. Destroy their idols and tear down their altars. 53Then settle in the land—I have given it to you as your own.
54 #
Nu 26.54-56. I will show you#33.54 I will show you: See the note at 26.55,56. how to divide the land among the tribes, according to the number of clans in each one, so that the larger tribes will have more land than the smaller ones.
55If you don't force out all the people there, they will be like splinters in your eyes and thorns in your back. They will always be trouble for you, 56and I will treat you as severely as I planned on treating them.

Numbers 33
1¶ These are the journeys of the sons of Israel who went forth out of the land of Egypt with their hosts under the hand of Moses and Aaron.
2And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the Lord. These are their journeys according to their goings out.
3And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the second day of the passover the sons of Israel went out with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
4For the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, which the Lord had smitten among them, the Lord having also executed judgments upon their gods.
5And the sons of Israel removed from Rameses and pitched in Succoth.
6And they departed from Succoth and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.
7And they removed from Etham and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon, and they pitched before Migdol.
8And they departed from before Pihahiroth and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness and went three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham and pitched in Marah.
9And they removed from Marah and came unto Elim, and in Elim were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees, and they pitched there.
10And they removed from Elim and encamped by the Red Sea.
11And they removed from the Red Sea and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.
12And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin and encamped in Dophkah.
13And they departed from Dophkah and encamped in Alush.
14And they removed from Alush and encamped at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.
15And they departed from Rephidim and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.
16And they removed from the desert of Sinai and pitched at Kibrothhattaavah.
17And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah and encamped at Hazeroth.
18And they departed from Hazeroth and pitched in Rithmah.
19And they departed from Rithmah and pitched at Rimmonparez.
20And they departed from Rimmonparez and pitched in Libnah.
21And they removed from Libnah and pitched at Rissah.
22And they journeyed from Rissah and pitched in Kehelathah.
23And they went from Kehelathah and pitched in Mount Shapher.
24And they removed from Mount Shapher and encamped in Haradah.
25And they removed from Haradah and pitched in Makheloth.
26And they removed from Makheloth and encamped at Tahath.
27And they departed from Tahath and pitched at Tarah.
28And they removed from Tarah and pitched in Mithcah.
29And they went from Mithcah and pitched in Hashmonah.
30And they departed from Hashmonah and encamped at Moseroth.
31And they departed from Moseroth and pitched in Benejaakan.
32And they removed from Benejaakan and encamped at Horhagidgad.
33And they went from Horhagidgad and pitched in Jotbathah.
34And they removed from Jotbathah and encamped at Ebronah.
35And they departed from Ebronah and encamped at Eziongaber.
36And they removed from Eziongaber and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.
37And they removed from Kadesh and pitched in Mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
38And Aaron, the priest, went up into Mount Hor at the commandment of the Lord and died there in the fortieth year, after the sons of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.
39And Aaron was one hundred and twenty-three years old when he died in Mount Hor.
40And King Arad, the Canaanite, who dwelt in the Negev in the land of Canaan, heard how the sons of Israel had come.
41And they departed from Mount Hor and pitched in Zalmonah.
42And they departed from Zalmonah and pitched in Punon.
43And they departed from Punon and pitched in Oboth.
44And they departed from Oboth and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab.
45And they departed from Iim and pitched in Dibongad.
46And they removed from Dibongad and encamped in Almondiblathaim.
47And they removed from Almondiblathaim and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
48And they departed from the mountains of Abarim and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan of Jericho.
49Finally they pitched by the Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.
50¶ And the Lord spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho, saying,
51Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When ye have passed the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
52then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you and abolish all their paintings and abolish all their molten images and destroy all their high places,
53and ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell therein; for I have given you the land to inherit it.
54And ye shall inherit the land by lots by your families, and to those with the most ye shall give more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give less inheritance, each one’s inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falls; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
55But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall come to pass that those whom ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes and thorns in your sides and shall afflict you in the land in which ye dwell.
56Moreover it shall come to pass that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
