Numbers 33

Chapter 33.

33 ¹ These are the stages of the journey of the children of Israel, who went out from the land of Egypt by their divisions under the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Every Step Recorded

² Moses recorded their starting points, stage by stage, at the command of our Father; and these are their stages by their starting points.

³ They set out from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out boldly, in full view of all the Egyptians, ⁴ while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, whom our Father had struck down among them; and on their gods our Father had executed judgments.

⁵ The children of Israel set out from Rameses and camped at Succoth.

⁶ They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness.

⁷ They set out from Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, which is east of Baal-zephon, and they camped before Migdol.

⁸ They set out from before Hahiroth and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness; they went a three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham and camped at Marah.

⁹ They set out from Marah and came to Elim; at Elim were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there.

³⁸ Then Aaron the priest went up Mount Hor at the command of our Father and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the month. ³⁹ Aaron was 123 years old when he died on Mount Hor.

⁴⁰ And the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev in the land of Canaan, heard that the children of Israel were coming.

Take the Land I'm Giving You

⁵⁰ Our Father spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying:

⁵¹ Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, ⁵² then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you, and destroy all their carved figures and all their cast metal images, and demolish all their high places.

⁵³ You shall take possession of the land and live in it, for I have given you the land to possess. ⁵⁴ You shall apportion the land as an inheritance by lot according to your clans: give a larger inheritance to larger clans and a smaller inheritance to smaller clans. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that shall be his. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your ancestors.

⁵⁵ But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, then those you allow to remain will be barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land where you live. ⁵⁶ And then I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.
