Numbers 33

33 ¹These are the stages of the Israelites' journey out of Egypt, by their divisions under Moses and Aaron's hand. ²Moses wrote their starting points by stage, at our Father's command; these are their stages by starting points. ³They set out from Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month, the day after Passover—the Israelites marched out boldly, in full view of all the Egyptians, ⁴while the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, whom our Father had struck down among them, and on their gods our Father executed judgments. ⁵The children of Israel set out from Rameses and camped at Succoth. ⁶They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness. ⁷They left Etham, turned back to Pi-hahiroth, east of Baal-zephon, and camped before Migdol. ⁸They set out from before Hahiroth, crossed the sea into the wilderness, traveled three days through the wilderness of Etham, and camped at Marah. ⁹They left Marah and reached Elim, where twelve water springs and seventy palm trees stood; there they camped. ¹⁰They set out from Elim and camped by Yam Suph. ^a a v10 Yam Suph is the Hebrew name for the body of water commonly known as the Red Sea. ¹¹They set out from Yam Suph and camped in the wilderness of Sin. ¹²They set out from the wilderness of Sin and camped at Dophkah. ¹³They set out from Dophkah and camped at Alush. ¹⁴They left Alush and camped at Rephidim, where the people had no water to drink. ¹⁵They set out from Rephidim and camped in the wilderness of Sinai. ¹⁶They set out from the wilderness of Sinai and camped at Kibroth-hattaavah. ¹⁷They set out from Kibroth-hattaavah and camped at Hazeroth. ¹⁸They set out from Hazeroth and camped at Rithmah. ¹⁹They set out from Rithmah and camped at Rimmon-perez. ²⁰They set out from Rimmon-perez and camped at Libnah. ²¹They set out from Libnah and camped at Rissah. ²²They set out from Rissah and camped at Kehelathah. ²³They set out from Kehelathah and camped at Mount Shepher. ²⁴They set out from Mount Shepher and camped at Haradah. ²⁵They set out from Haradah and camped at Makheloth. ²⁶They set out from Makheloth and camped at Tahath. ²⁷They set out from Tahath and camped at Terah. ²⁸They set out from Terah and camped at Mithkah. ²⁹They set out from Mithkah and camped at Hashmonah. ³⁰They set out from Hashmonah and camped at Moseroth. ³¹They set out from Moseroth and camped at Bene-jaakan. ³²They set out from Bene-jaakan and camped at Hor-haggidgad. ³³They set out from Hor-haggidgad and camped at Jotbathah. ³⁴They set out from Jotbathah and camped at Abronah. ³⁵They set out from Abronah and camped at Ezion-geber. ³⁶They set out from Ezion-geber and camped in the wilderness of Zin, that is, Kadesh. ³⁷They left Kadesh and camped at Mount Hor, on the edge of Edom's land. ³⁸Aaron the priest climbed Mount Hor at our Father's command and died there in the fortieth year after the children of Israel left the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on its first day. ³⁹Aaron was 123 years old when he died on Mount Hor. ⁴⁰The Canaanite king of Arad, living in the Negev of Canaan, heard the Israelites were coming. ⁴¹They set out from Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah. ⁴²They set out from Zalmonah and camped at Punon. ⁴³They set out from Punon and camped at Oboth. ⁴⁴They set out from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim, on the border of Moab. ⁴⁵They set out from Iyim and camped at Dibon-gad. ⁴⁶They set out from Dibon-gad and camped at Almon-diblathaim. ⁴⁷They set out from Almon-diblathaim and camped in the mountains of Abarim, near Nebo. ⁴⁸They left the mountains of Abarim and camped on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan at Jericho. ⁴⁹They camped along the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth to Abel-shittim, on the plains of Moab.

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

⁵¹"Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan. ⁵²Drive out everyone living in the land before you; destroy all their carved images and metal figures, and tear down all their high places. ⁵³Possess the land and live in it, for I have given you the land to possess. ⁵⁴Divide the land by lot among your clans—more land to larger clans, less to smaller ones. Wherever the lot falls for someone, that becomes theirs. You will inherit by your ancestral tribes.

⁵⁵"But if you don't drive out the land's residents before you, those you leave will be barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides, troubling you in the land where you live. ⁵⁶And then I will do to you what I had planned to do to them."
