1These are the stages of the journey of the Israelites, who came out of the land of Egypt by divisions under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 2And Moses recorded the stages of their journey as commanded by the LORD; and these are their journeys by stages according to where they stopped along the way:

3They departed from Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month; the day after the Passover. They marched out with a high hand in full view of all the Egyptians. 4For the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, which the LORD had struck down among them; and the LORD also brought judgments upon their gods.

5And the Israelites left Rameses, and camped in Succoth.

6They left Succoth, and camped in Etham, on the border of the wilderness.

7They left Etham, and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, east of Baal-zephon: and they camped near Migdol. 8And they left Pi-hahiroth, and passed through the middle of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey into the wilderness of Etham, and camped in Marah.

9They left Marah, and came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees, and they camped there.

38And, at the commandment of the LORD, Aaron, the priest, went up onto Mount Hor and died there, on the first day of the fifth month of the fortieth year after the Israelites had come out of Egypt. 39And Aaron was a hundred twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor. 40And the king of Arad, a Canaanite, who dwelt in the Negev, in Canaan, heard that the Israelites were coming.

41They left Mount Hor, and camped in Zalmonah.

42They left Zalmonah, and camped in Punon.

43They left Punon, and camped in Oboth.

46They left Dibon-gad, and camped in Almon-diblathaim.

47They left Almon-diblathaim, and camped in the mountains of Abarim, near Nebo.

48They left the mountains of Abarim, and camped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan near Jericho. 49They camped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim, in the plains of Moab.

50And the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan near Jericho, 51“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you have crossed over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52Drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their stone idols, and all their molten images, and demolish all their high places: 53And take possession of the land, and settle in it: for I have given you the land to possess. 54And you shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: to the more numerous, you shall give a larger inheritance; and to the fewer, you shall give a smaller inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falls; you shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers. 55But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, then those of them you let remain shall be barbs in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall cause you trouble in the land where you will live. 56 And then I shall do to you, what I plan to do to them.’”
