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.

Bemiḏbar (Numbers) 33
33
1These are the departures of the children of Yisra’ĕl, who went out of the land of Mitsrayim by their divisions under the hand of Mosheh and Aharon.
2And Mosheh wrote down the starting points of their departures at the mouth of יהוה, and these are their departures according to their starting points:
3So they departed from Ra‛meses in the first new moon, on the fifteenth day of the first new moon, on the morrow of the Pĕsaḥ the children of Yisra’ĕl went out with boldness before the eyes of all the Mitsrites,
4and the Mitsrites were burying all their first-born, whom יהוה had stricken among them. Also on their mighty ones יהוה had executed judgments.
5Then the children of Yisra’ĕl departed from Ra‛meses and camped at Sukkoth.
6And they departed from Sukkoth and camped at Ětham, which is on the edge of the wilderness.
7And they departed from Ětham and turned back to Pi Haḥiroth, which is east of Ba‛al Tsephon. And they camped near Miḡdol.
8And they departed from before Haḥiroth and passed over through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, went three days’ journey in the Wilderness of Ětham, and camped at Marah.
9And they departed from Marah and came to Ělim. And at Ělim were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, so they camped there.
10And they departed from Ělim and camped by the Sea of Reeds.
11And they departed from the Sea of Reeds and camped in the Wilderness of Sin.
12And they departed from the Wilderness of Sin and camped at Dophqah.
13And they departed from Dophqah and camped at Alush.
14And they departed from Alush and camped at Rephiḏim, and there was no water for the people to drink.
15And they departed from Rephiḏim and camped in the Wilderness of Sinai.
16And they departed from the Wilderness of Sinai and camped at Qiḇroth Hatta’awah.
17And they departed from Qiḇroth Hatta’awah and camped at Ḥatsĕroth.
18And they departed from Ḥatsĕroth and camped at Rithmah.
19And they departed from Rithmah and camped at Rimmon Perets.
20And they departed from Rimmon Perets and camped at Liḇnah.
21And they departed from Liḇnah and camped at Rissah.
22And they departed from Rissah and camped at Qehĕlathah.
23And they departed from Qehĕlathah and camped at Mount Shapher.
24And they departed from Mount Shapher and camped at Ḥaraḏah.
25And they departed from Ḥaraḏah and camped at Maqhĕloth.
26And they departed from Maqhĕloth and camped at Taḥath.
27And they departed from Taḥath and camped at Teraḥ.
28And they departed from Teraḥ and camped at Mithqah.
29And they departed from Mithqah and camped at Ḥashmonah.
30And they departed from Ḥashmonah and camped at Mosĕroth.
31And they departed from Mosĕroth and camped at Benĕi Ya‛aqan.
32And they departed from Benĕi Ya‛aqan and camped at Ḥor Haggiḏgaḏ.
33And they departed from Ḥor Haggiḏgaḏ and camped at Yotḇathah.
34And they departed from Yotḇathah and camped at Aḇronah.
35And they departed from Aḇronah and camped at Etsyon Geḇer.
36And they departed from Etsyon Geḇer and camped in the Wilderness of Tsin, which is Qaḏĕsh.
37And they departed from Qaḏĕsh and camped at Mount Hor, on the boundary of the land of Eḏom.
38Then Aharon the priest went up to Mount Hor at the mouth of יהוה, and died there in the fortieth year after the children of Yisra’ĕl had come out of the land of Mitsrayim, on the first day of the fifth new moon.
39Now Aharon was one hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor.
40And the sovereign of Araḏ, the Kena‛anite, who dwelt in the South in the land of Kena‛an, heard of the coming of the children of Yisra’ĕl.
41So they departed from Mount Hor and camped at Tsalmonah.
42And they departed from Tsalmonah and camped at Punon.
43And they departed from Punon and camped at Oḇoth.
44And they departed from Oḇoth and camped at Iyĕ Ha-Aḇarim, at the border of Mo’aḇ.
45And they departed from Iyim and camped at Diḇon Gaḏ.
46And they departed from Diḇon Gaḏ and camped at Almon Diḇlathayemah.
47And they departed from Almon Diḇlathayemah and camped in the mountains of Aḇarim, before Neḇo.
48And they departed from the mountains of Aḇarim and camped in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ by the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo.
49And they camped by the Yardĕn, from Bĕyth Yeshimoth as far as the Aḇĕl Shittim in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ.
50And יהוה spoke to Mosheh in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ by the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo, saying,
51“Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When you have passed over the Yardĕn into the land of Kena‛an,
52then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and shall destroy all their engraved stones, and shall destroy all their moulded images, and lay waste all their high places,
53and you shall possess the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to possess.
54And you shall divide the land by lot as an inheritance among your clans. To the larger you give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you give a smaller inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that is his. You inherit according to the tribes of your fathers.
55And 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 pricks in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall trouble you in the land where you dwell.
56And it shall be that I do to you as I thought to do to them.’ ”
