[1] These are the journeys of the children of Israel, when they went out of
the land of Egypt in their armies, under the direction of Moses and Aaron.
[2] And the stages of their journey on their way out were put down in
writing by Moses at the order of the Lord: these are the stages of their
journey and the way they went. [3] On the fifteenth day of the first month
they went out from Rameses; on the day after the Passover the children of
Israel went out by the power of the Lord before the eyes of all the
Egyptians, [4] While the Egyptians were placing in the earth the bodies of
their sons on whom the Lord had sent destruction: and their gods had been
judged by him. [5] So the children of Israel went from Rameses and put up
their tents in Succoth. [6] And they went on from Succoth and put up their
tents in Etham on the edge of the waste land. [7] And from Etham, turning
back to Pi-hahiroth which is before Baal-zephon, they put up their tents
before Migdol. [8] And journeying on from before Hahiroth, they went
through the sea into the waste land: they went three days' journey through
the waste land of Etham and put up their tents in Marah. [9] And from Marah
they went on to Elim: and in Elim there were twelve water-springs and
seventy palm-trees; and they put up their tents there. [10] And they went
on from Elim and put up their tents by the Red Sea. [11] Then from the Red
Sea they went on and put up their tents in the waste land of Sin. [12] And
they went on from the waste land of Sin, and put up their tents in Dophkah.
[13] And they went on from Dophkah, and put up their tents in Alush. [14]
And they went on from Alush, and put up their tents in Rephidim, where
there was no drinking-water for the people. [15] And they went on from
Rephidim, and put up their tents in the waste land of Sinai. [16] And they
went on from the waste land of Sinai and put up their tents in
Kibroth-hattaavah. [17] And they went on from Kibroth-hattaavah, and put up
their tents in Hazeroth. [18] And they went on from Hazeroth, and put up
their tents in Rithmah. [19] And they went on from Rithmah, and put up
their tents in Rimmon-perez. [20] And they went on from Rimmon-perez, and
put up their tents in Libnah. [21] And they went on from Libnah, and put up
their tents in Rissah. [22] And they went on from Rissah, and put up their
tents in Kehelathah. [23] And they went on from Kehelathah, and put up
their tents in Mount Shepher. [24] And they went on from Mount Shepher, and
put up their tents in Haradah. [25] And they went on from Haradah, and put
up their tents in Makheloth. [26] And they went on from Makheloth, and put
up their tents in Tahath. [27] And they went on from Tahath, and put up
their tents in Terah. [28] And they went on from Terah, and put up their
tents in Mithkah. [29] And they went on from Mithkah, and put up their
tents in Hashmonah. [30] And they went on from Hashmonah, and put up their
tents in Moseroth. [31] And they went on from Moseroth, and put up their
tents in Bene-jaakan. [32] And they went on from Bene-jaakan, and put up
their tents in Hor-haggidgad. [33] And they went on from Hor-haggidgad, and
put up their tents in Jotbathah. [34] And they went on from Jotbathah, and
put up their tents in Abronah. [35] And they went on from Abronah, and put
up their tents in Ezion-geber. [36] And they went on from Ezion-geber, and
put up their tents in the waste land of Zin (which is Kadesh). [37] And
they went on from Kadesh, and put up their tents in Mount Hor, on the edge
of the land of Edom. [38] And Aaron the priest went up into the mountain at
the order of the Lord, and came to his death 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 a hundred and
twenty-three years old at the time of his death in Mount Hor. [40] And news
of the coming of the children of Israel came to the king of Arad, the
Canaanite, who was living in the South in the land of Canaan. [41] And from
Mount Hor they went on, and put up their tents in Zalmonah. [42] And they
went on from Zalmonah, and put up their tents in Punon. [43] And they went
on from Punon, and put up their tents in Oboth. [44] And they went on from
Oboth, and put up their tents in Iye-abarim at the edge of Moab. [45] And
they went on from Iyim, and put up their tents in Dibon-gad. [46] And from
Dibon-gad they went on, and put up their tents in Almon-diblathaim. [47]
And from Almon-diblathaim they went on, and put up their tents in the
mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. [48] And they went on from the mountains
of Abarim, and put up their tents in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at
Jericho; [49] Planting their tents by the side of Jordan from
Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim in the lowlands of Moab. [50] And in
the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho, the Lord said to Moses, [51] Say
to the children of Israel, When you go over Jordan into the land of Canaan,
[52] See that all the people of the land are forced out from before you,
and put to destruction all their pictured stones, and all their metal
images, and all their high places: [53] And take the land for yourselves,
for your resting-place: for to you I have given the land as your heritage.
[54] And you will take up your heritage in the land by the decision of the
Lord, to every family its part; the greater the family the greater its
heritage, and the smaller the family the smaller will be its heritage;
wherever the decision of the Lord gives to any man his part, that will be
his; distribution will be made to you by your fathers' tribes. [55] But if
you are slow in driving out the people of the land, then those of them who
are still there will be like pin-points in your eyes and like thorns in
your sides, troubling you in the land where you are living. [56] And it
will come about that as it was my purpose to do to them, so I will do to
you.
