Numbers 33:47-56 ▼

47 And they journey from Almon-Diblathaim and encamp in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

48 And they journey from the mountains of Abarim and encamp in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, [near] Jericho.

49 And they encamp by the Jordan, from Beth-Jeshimoth as far as Abel-Shittim in the plains of Moab.

50 And YHWH speaks to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, [near] Jericho, saying,

51 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When you are passing over the Jordan to the land of Canaan,

52 then you have dispossessed all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and have destroyed all their imagery, indeed, you destroy all their molten images, and you lay waste [to] all their high places,

53 and you have possessed the land and dwelt in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it.

54 And you have inherited the land by lot, by your families; to the many you increase their inheritance, and to the few you diminish their inheritance; to where the lot goes out to him, it is his; you inherit by the tribes of your fathers.

55 And if you do not dispossess the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it has been [that] those whom you let remain of them [are] for pricks in your eyes and for thorns in your sides, and they have distressed you on the land in which you are dwelling,

56 and it has come to pass, as I thought to do to them, I do to you.”
