1These are the journeys of the children of Israel, when they went forth out of the land of Egypt by their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 2Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their goings out. 3They traveled from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the next day after the Passover the children of Israel went out triumphantly in the sight of all the Egyptians, 4while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, whom the LORD had struck among them: on their gods also the LORD executed judgments.

5The children of Israel traveled from Rameses, and camped in Succoth. 6They traveled from Succoth, and camped in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness. 7They traveled from Etham, and turned back to Pihahiroth, which is before Baal Zephon: and they camped before Migdol. 8They traveled from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness: and they went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and camped in Marah. 9They traveled from Marah, and came to Elim: and in Elim were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees; and they camped there. 10They traveled from Elim, and camped by the Sea at the End. 11They traveled from the Sea at the End, and camped in the wilderness of Sin. 12They traveled from the wilderness of Sin, and camped in Dophkah. 13They traveled from Dophkah, and camped in Alush. 14They traveled from Alush, and camped in Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink. 15They traveled from Rephidim, and camped in the wilderness of Sinai. 16They traveled from the wilderness of Sinai, and camped in Kibroth Hattaavah.

17They traveled from Kibroth Hattaavah, and camped in Hazeroth. 18They traveled from Hazeroth, and camped in Rithmah. 19They traveled from Rithmah, and camped in Rimmon Perez. 20They traveled from Rimmon Perez, and camped in Libnah. 21They traveled from Libnah, and camped in Rissah. 22They traveled from Rissah, and camped in Kehelathah. 23They traveled from Kehelathah, and camped in Mount Shepher. 24They traveled from Mount Shepher, and camped in Haradah. 25They traveled from Haradah, and camped in Makheloth. 26They traveled from Makheloth, and camped in Tahath. 27They traveled from Tahath, and camped in Terah. 28They traveled from Terah, and camped in Mithkah. 29They traveled from Mithkah, and camped in Hashmonah. 30They traveled from Hashmonah, and camped in Moseroth. 31They traveled from Moseroth, and camped in Bene Jaakan. 32They traveled from Bene Jaakan, and camped in Hor Haggidgad. 33They traveled from Hor Haggidgad, and camped in Jotbathah. 34They traveled from Jotbathah, and camped in Abronah. 35They traveled from Abronah, and camped in Ezion Geber. 36They traveled from Ezion Geber, and camped in the wilderness of Zin (that is, Kadesh). 37They traveled from Kadesh, and camped in Mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.

38Aaron 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 had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the month. 39Aaron was one hundred twenty-three years old when he died in Mount Hor.

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

41They traveled from Mount Hor, and camped in Zalmonah. 42They traveled from Zalmonah, and camped in Punon. 43They traveled from Punon, and camped in Oboth. 44They traveled from Oboth, and camped in Iye Abarim, in the border of Moab. 45They traveled from Iyim, and camped in Dibon Gad. 46They traveled from Dibon Gad, and camped in Almon Diblathaim. 47They traveled from Almon Diblathaim, and camped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. 48They traveled from the mountains of Abarim, and camped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 49They camped by the Jordan, from Beth Jeshimoth even to Abel Shittim in the plains of Moab.

50The LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 51Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, "When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their stone idols, destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places. 53You shall take possession of the land, and dwell in it; for I have given the land to you to possess it. 54You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance: wherever the lot falls to any man, that shall be his. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers. 55"But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those you let remain of them will be as pricks in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will harass you in the land in which you dwell. 56It shall happen that as I thought to do to them, so will I do to you."
