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
33
1These are the mansions of the children of Israel, who went out of Egypt by their troops under the conduct of Moses and Aaron,
2Which Moses wrote down according to the places of their encamping, which they changed by the commandment of the Lord.
3Now the children of Israel departed from Ramesses the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month, the day after the phase, with a mighty hand, in the sight of all the Egyptians,
4Who were burying their firstborn, whom the Lord had slain (upon their gods also he had executed vengeance).
5And they camped in Soccoth.
6And from Soccoth they came into Etham, which is in the uttermost borders of the wilderness.
7Departing from thence they came over against Phihahiroth, which looketh towards Beelsephon, and they camped before Magdalum.
8And departing from Phihahiroth, they passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness. And having marched three days through the desert of Etham, they camped in Mara.
9And departing from Mara, they came into Elim, where there were twelve fountains of waters, and seventy palm trees: and there they camped.
10But departing from thence also, they pitched their tents by the Red Sea. And departing from the Red Sea,
11They camped in the desert of Sin.
12And they removed from thence, and came to Daphca.
13And departing from Daphca, they camped in Alus.
14And departing from Alus, they pitched their tents in Raphidim, where the people wanted water to drink.
15And departing from Raphidim, they camped in the desert of Sinai.
16But departing also from the desert of Sinai, they came to the graves of lust.
17And departing from the graves of lust, they camped in Haseroth.
18And from Haseroth they came to Rethma.
19And departing from Rethma, they camped in Remmomphares.
20And they departed from thence and came to Lebna.
21Removing from Lebna they camped in Ressa.

29And removing from Methca, they camped in Hesmona.

31And removing from Moseroth, they camped in Benejaacan.
32And departing from Benejaacan, they came to mount Gadgad.

34And from Jetebatha they came to Hebrona.
35And departing from Hebrona, they camped in Asiongaber.
36They removed from thence and came into the desert of Sin, which is Cades.
37And departing from Cades, they camped in mount Hor, in the uttermost borders of the land of Edom.
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.
