1Here are the stages in the journey of the Israelites when they came out of Egypt by divisions under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.2At the LORD's command Moses recorded the stages in their journey. This is their journey by stages:3The Israelites set out from Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month, the day after the Passover. They marched out boldly in full view of all the Egyptians,4who were burying all their firstborn, whom the LORD had struck down among them; for the LORD had brought judgment on their gods.5The Israelites left Rameses and camped at Succoth.6They left Succoth and camped at Etham, on the edge of the desert.7They left Etham, turned back to Pi Hahiroth, to the east of Baal Zephon, and camped near Migdol.8They left Pi Hahiroth and passed through the sea into the desert, and when they had traveled for three days in the Desert of Etham, they camped at Marah.9They left Marah and went to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped there.10They left Elim and camped by the Red Sea.11They left the Red Sea and camped in the Desert of Sin.12They left the Desert of Sin and camped at Dophkah.13They left Dophkah and camped at Alush.14They left Alush and camped at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.15They left Rephidim and camped in the Desert of Sinai.16They left the Desert of Sinai and camped at Kibroth Hattaavah.17They left Kibroth Hattaavah and camped at Hazeroth.18They left Hazeroth and camped at Rithmah.19They left Rithmah and camped at Rimmon Perez.20They left Rimmon Perez and camped at Libnah.21They left Libnah and camped at Rissah.22They left Rissah and camped at Kehelathah.23They left Kehelathah and camped at Mount Shepher.24They left Mount Shepher and camped at Haradah.25They left Haradah and camped at Makheloth.26They left Makheloth and camped at Tahath.27They left Tahath and camped at Terah.28They left Terah and camped at Mithcah.29They left Mithcah and camped at Hashmonah.30They left Hashmonah and camped at Moseroth.31They left Moseroth and camped at Bene Jaakan.32They left Bene Jaakan and camped at Hor Haggidgad.33They left Hor Haggidgad and camped at Jotbathah.34They left Jotbathah and camped at Abronah.35They left Abronah and camped at Ezion Geber.36They left Ezion Geber and camped at Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin.37They left Kadesh and camped at Mount Hor, on the border of Edom.38At the LORD's command Aaron the priest went up Mount Hor, where he died on the first day of the fifth month of the fortieth year after the Israelites came out of Egypt.39Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor.40The Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev of Canaan, heard that the Israelites were coming.41They left Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah.42They left Zalmonah and camped at Punon.43They left Punon and camped at Oboth.44They left Oboth and camped at Iye Abarim, on the border of Moab.45They left Iyim and camped at Dibon Gad.46They left Dibon Gad and camped at Almon Diblathaim.47They left Almon Diblathaim and camped in the mountains of Abarim, near Nebo.48They left the mountains of Abarim and camped on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.49There on the plains of Moab they camped along the Jordan from Beth Jeshimoth to Abel Shittim.50On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho the LORD said to Moses,51"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When you cross the Jordan into Canaan,52drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you. Destroy all their carved images and their cast idols, and demolish all their high places.53Take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess.54Distribute the land by lot, according to your clans. To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one. Whatever falls to them by lot will be theirs. Distribute it according to your ancestral tribes.55"'But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will give you trouble in the land where you will live.56And then I will do to you what I plan to do to them.'"
1The LORD said to Moses,2"Command the Israelites and say to them: 'When you enter Canaan, the land that will be allotted to you as an inheritance will have these boundaries:3"'Your southern side will include some of the Desert of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern boundary will start from the end of the Salt Sea,4cross south of Scorpion Pass, continue on to Zin and go south of Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon,5where it will turn, join the Wadi of Egypt and end at the Sea.6"'Your western boundary will be the coast of the Great Sea. This will be your boundary on the west.7"'For your northern boundary, run a line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor8and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath. Then the boundary will go to Zedad,9continue to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your boundary on the north.10"'For your eastern boundary, run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham.11The boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Kinnereth.12Then the boundary will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. "'This will be your land, with its boundaries on every side.'"13Moses commanded the Israelites: "Assign this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has ordered that it be given to the nine and a half tribes,14because the families of the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.15These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan of Jericho, toward the sunrise."16The LORD said to Moses,17"These are the names of the men who are to assign the land for you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.18And appoint one leader from each tribe to help assign the land.19These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh, from the tribe of Judah;20Shemuel son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Simeon;21Elidad son of Kislon, from the tribe of Benjamin;22Bukki son of Jogli, the leader from the tribe of Dan;23Hanniel son of Ephod, the leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;24Kemuel son of Shiphtan, the leader from the tribe of Ephraim son of Joseph;25Elizaphan son of Parnach, the leader from the tribe of Zebulun;26Paltiel son of Azzan, the leader from the tribe of Issachar;27Ahihud son of Shelomi, the leader from the tribe of Asher;28Pedahel son of Ammihud, the leader from the tribe of Naphtali."29These are the men the LORD commanded to assign the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
