Israel’s Journey From Egypt
1Here is a list of the places the Israelites went when they left Egypt. They were organized in groups like an army and were led by Moses and Aaron. 2Following the Lord’s command, Moses kept a record of each place they stayed before moving on to the next place. These are all the places they went:
3On the 15th day of the first month, they left Rameses. That morning after Passover, the Israelites marched out of Egypt with their arms raised in victory. All the people of Egypt saw them. 4The Egyptians were burying all the people the Lord killed. They were burying all their firstborn sons. The Lord had shown his judgment against the gods#33:4 gods This might be the false gods of Egypt. Or here, it might mean the king and other powerful leaders in Egypt. of Egypt.
5The Israelites left Rameses and traveled to Succoth. 6From Succoth they traveled to Etham. They camped there at the edge of the desert. 7They left Etham and went to Pi Hahiroth. This was near Baal Zephon. They camped near Migdol.

Aaron died at that place on the first day of the fifth month. That was the 40th year after the Israelites had left Egypt. 39Aaron was 123 years old when he died on Mount Hor.

You will go into the land of Canaan. 52You will take the land from the people you find there. You must destroy all of their carved statues and idols. You must destroy all of their high places. 53You will take the land and you will settle there, because I am giving this land to you. It will belong to your family groups. 54Each of your family groups will get part of the land. You will throw lots to decide which family group gets each part of the country. Large family groups will get large parts of the land. Small family groups will get small parts of the land. The lots will show which family group gets which part of the land. Each tribe will get its part of the land.
55“You must force these other people to leave the country. If you let them stay in your country, they will bring many troubles to you. They will be like a needle#33:55 needle A thin barb or thorn from a plant. in your eye and a thorn in your side. They will bring many troubles to the country where you will be living. 56I showed you what I would do—and I will do that to you!”

Numbers 33

1These are the journeys of the children of Israel, who went forth out of the land of Egypt according to their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 2And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of Jehovah; and these are their journeys according to their goings out. 3They journeyed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians. 4And the Egyptians buried those whom Jehovah had smitten among them, all the firstborn; and upon their gods Jehovah executed judgments. 5And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and encamped in Succoth. 6And they removed from Succoth and encamped in Etham, which is at the end of the wilderness. 7And they removed from Etham, and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, which is opposite Baal-Zephon, and encamped before Migdol. 8And they removed from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah. 9And they removed from Marah, and came to Elim; and in Elim were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm-trees, and they encamped 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 removed from the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah. 13And they removed 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 removed from Rephidim, and encamped in the wilderness of Sinai. 16And they removed from the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped at Kibroth-hattaavah. 17And they removed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth. 18And they removed from Hazeroth, and encamped in Rithmah. 19And they removed from Rithmah, and encamped at Rimmon-perez. 20And they removed from Rimmon-perez, and encamped in Libnah. 21And they removed from Libnah, and encamped at Rissah. 22And they removed from Rissah, and encamped in Kehelathah. 23And they removed from Kehelathah, and encamped in mount Shapher. 24And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah. 25And they removed from Haradah, and encamped in Makheloth. 26And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath. 27And they removed from Tahath, and encamped at Terah. 28And they removed from Terah, and encamped in Mithcah. 29And they removed from Mithcah, and encamped in Hashmonah. 30And they removed from Hashmonah, and encamped in Moseroth. 31And they removed from Moseroth, and encamped in Bene-Jaakan. 32And they removed from Bene-Jaakan, and encamped at Hor-hagidgad. 33And they removed from Hor-hagidgad, and encamped in Jotbathah. 34And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Abronah. 35And they removed from Abronah, and encamped at Ezion-geber. 36And they removed from Ezion-geber, and encamped in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh. 37And they removed from Kadesh, and encamped in mount Hor, in the border of the land of Edom. 38And Aaron the priest went up mount Hor by the commandment of Jehovah, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first of the 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 south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel. 41And they removed from mount Hor, and encamped in Zalmonah. 42And they removed from Zalmonah, and encamped in Punon. 43And they removed from Punon, and encamped in Oboth. 44And they removed from Oboth, and encamped in Ijim-Abarim, in the border of Moab. 45And they removed from Ijim, and encamped in Dibon-Gad. 46And they removed from Dibon-Gad, and encamped in Almon-Diblathaim. 47And they removed from Almon-Diblathaim, and encamped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. 48And they removed from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho. 49And they encamped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth unto Abel-Shittim, in the plains of Moab.
50And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho, saying, 51Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52then ye shall dispossess all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and ye shall destroy all their figured images, and all their molten images shall ye destroy, and all their high places shall ye lay waste; 53and ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein, for to you have I given the land to possess it. 54And ye shall take for yourselves the land as an inheritance by lot according to your families: to the many ye shall increase their inheritance, and to the few thou shalt diminish their inheritance: where the lot falleth to him, there shall be each man's inheritance; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye take for yourselves the inheritance. 55But if ye will not dispossess the inhabitants of the land from before you, those that ye let remain of them shall be thorns in your eyes, and pricks in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land wherein ye dwell. 56And it shall come to pass that I will do unto you as I thought to do unto them.
