Wilderness Encampments

1These are the journeys of the children of Israel, who went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.

2And Moses wrote their starting points of their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their starting points.

3And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; the next day after the passover the children of Israel went out with boldness in the sight of all the Egyptians.

4For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.

5And the children of Israel set out from Rameses, and encamped at Succoth.

6And they departed from Succoth, and encamped at Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.

7And they set out from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which is east of Baalzephon: and they encamped before Migdol.

8And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped at Marah.

9And they set out from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and three score and ten palm trees; and they encamped there.

10And they set out from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.

11And they set out from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.

12And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped at Dophkah.

13And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped at Alush.

14And they set out from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.

15And they departed from Rephidim, and encamped in the wilderness of Sinai.

16And they set out from the desert of Sinai, and encamped at Kibrothhattaavah.

17And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.

18And they departed from Hazeroth, and encamped at Rithmah.

19And they departed from Rithmah, and encamped at Rimmonperez.

20And they departed from Rimmonperez, and encamped at Libnah.

21And they set out from Libnah, and encamped at Rissah.

22And they journeyed from Rissah, and encamped at Kehelathah.

23And they went from Kehelathah, and encamped at mount Shepher.

24And they set out from mount Shepher, and encamped at Haradah.

25And they set out from Haradah, and encamped at Makheloth.

26And they set out from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.

27And they departed from Tahath, and encamped at Terah.

28And they set out from Terah, and encamped at Mithkah.

29And they went from Mithkah, and encamped at Hashmonah.

30And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.

31And they departed from Moseroth, and encamped at Benejaakan.

32And they set out from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhaggidgad.

33And they went from Horhaggidgad, and encamped at Jotbathah.

34And they set out from Jotbathah, and encamped at Abronah.

35And they departed from Abronah, and encamped at Eziongeber.

36And they set out from Eziongeber, and encamped in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.

37And they set out from Kadesh, and encamped at mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.

38And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.

39And Aaron was a hundred and twenty and three years old when he died on mount Hor.

40And king of Arad, the Canaanite, who dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

41And they departed from mount Hor, and encamped at Zalmonah.

42And they departed from Zalmonah, and encamped at Punon.

43And they departed from Punon, and encamped at Oboth.

44And they departed from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, at the border of Moab.

45And they departed from Iyim, and encamped at Dibongad.

46And they set out from Dibongad, and encamped at Almondiblathaim.

47And they set out from Almondiblathaim, and encamped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

48And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan near Jericho.

49And they encamped by the Jordan, from Bethjeshimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.

Canaanites to be Driven Out

50And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan near Jericho, saying,

51Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When you have passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

52Then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their engraved stones, and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places:

53And you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.

54And you shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falls; according to the tribes of your fathers you shall inherit.

55But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those whom you let remain of them shall be barbs in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall trouble you in the land wherein you dwell.

56Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
