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.

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.

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
33
1These are the stages of the people of Israel, when they went forth out of the land of Egypt by their hosts under the leadership of Moses and Aaron. 2Moses wrote down their starting places, stage by stage, by command of the Lord; and these are their stages according to their starting places. 3They set out from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the passover the people of Israel went out triumphantly in the sight of all the Egyptians, 4while the Egyptians were burying all their first-born, whom the Lord had struck down among them; upon their gods also the Lord executed judgments.
5So the people of Israel set out from Rameses, and encamped at Succoth. 6And they set out from Succoth, and encamped at Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness. 7And they set out from Etham, and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, which is east of Baal-zephon; and they encamped before Migdol. 8And they set out from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and they went a three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped at Marah. 9And they set out from Marah, and came to Elim; at Elim there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there. 10And they set out from Elim, and encamped by the Red Sea. 11And they set out from the Red Sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin. 12And they set out from the wilderness of Sin, and encamped at Dophkah. 13And they set out from Dophkah, and encamped at Alush. 14And they set out from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink. 15And they set out from Rephidim, and encamped in the wilderness of Sinai. 16And they set out from the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped at Kibroth-hattaavah. 17And they set out from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth. 18And they set out from Hazeroth, and encamped at Rithmah. 19And they set out from Rithmah, and encamped at Rimmon-perez. 20And they set out from Rimmon-perez, and encamped at Libnah. 21And they set out from Libnah, and encamped at Rissah. 22And they set out from Rissah, and encamped at Kehelathah. 23And they set out from Kehelathah, and encamped at Mount Shepher. 24And they set out from Mount Shepher, and encamped at Haradah. 25And they set out from Haradah, and encamped at Makheloth. 26And they set out from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath. 27And they set out from Tahath, and encamped at Terah. 28And they set out from Terah, and encamped at Mithkah. 29And they set out from Mithkah, and encamped at Hashmonah. 30And they set out from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth. 31And they set out from Moseroth, and encamped at Bene-jaakan. 32And they set out from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at Hor-haggidgad. 33And they set out from Hor-haggidgad, and encamped at Jotbathah. 34And they set out from Jotbathah, and encamped at Abronah. 35And they set out from Abronah, and encamped at Ezion-geber. 36And they set out from Ezion-geber, and encamped in the wilderness of Zin (that is, Kadesh). 37And they set out from Kadesh, and encamped at Mount Hor, on the edge of the land of Edom.

Num 20.23-29; Deut 10.6. And Aaron the priest went up Mount Hor at the command of the Lord, and died there, in the fortieth year after the people of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, on the first day of the fifth month. 39And Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor.
40And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the Negeb in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the people of Israel.
41And they set out from Mount Hor, and encamped at Zalmonah. 42And they set out from Zalmonah, and encamped at Punon. 43And they set out from Punon, and encamped at Oboth. 44And they set out from Oboth, and encamped at Iye-abarim, in the territory of Moab. 45And they set out from Iyim, and encamped at Dibon-gad. 46And they set out from Dibon-gad, and encamped at Almon-diblathaim. 47And they set out from Almon-diblathaim, and encamped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. 48And they set out from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho; 49they encamped by the Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.
50And the Lord said to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, 51“Say to the people of Israel, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52#Ex 23.24; Deut 7.5; 12.3. then you 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 you shall take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it. 54You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to a large tribe you shall give a large inheritance, and to a small tribe you shall give a small inheritance; wherever the lot falls to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers you shall inherit. 55But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those of them whom you let remain shall be as pricks in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall trouble you in the land where you dwell. 56And I will do to you as I thought to do to them.”
