¹These are the moves of the sons of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt according to their armies through the agency of Moses and Aaron. ²For Moses recorded their departures per move of theirs according to the instruction of the Lord. And these are their moves by their departures. ³Now they moved from Rameses in the first month on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the first day after the Passover, the sons of Israel departed with a high hand in the eyes of all Egypt. ⁴And Egypt buried those among their own whom the Lord struck down – all the firstborn – and the Lord executed judgments on their gods. ⁵And the sons of Israel moved from Rameses and encamped at Succoth. ⁶Then they moved from Succoth and encamped at Etham which is at the edge of the desert. ⁷Then they moved from Etham, and they returned to Pi-Hahiroth which is alongside Baal-Zephon, and they encamped in front of Migdol. ⁸Then they moved from the proximity of Hahiroth and crossed through the middle of the sea into the desert, and they went three days' journey in the Desert of Etham, and they encamped at Marah. ⁹Then they moved from Marah and came to Elim, and in Elim were twelve sources of water and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there. ¹⁰Then they moved from Elim and encamped at the Red Sea. ¹¹Then they moved from the Red Sea and encamped at the Desert of Sin. ¹²Then they moved from the Desert of Sin and encamped at Dophkah. ¹³Then they moved from Dophkah and encamped at Alush. ¹⁴Then they moved from Alush and encamped at Rephidim, but there was no water there for the people to drink. ¹⁵Then they moved from Rephidim and encamped in the Sinai Desert. ¹⁶Then they moved from the Sinai Desert and encamped at Kibroth-Hattaavah. ¹⁷Then they moved from Kibroth-Hattaavah and encamped at Hazeroth. ¹⁸Then they moved from Hazeroth and encamped at Rithmah. ¹⁹Then they moved from Rithmah and encamped at Rimmon-Perez. ²⁰Then they moved from Rimmon-Perez and encamped at Libnah. ²¹Then they moved from Libnah and encamped at Rissah. ²²Then they moved from Rissah and encamped at Kehelathah. ²³Then they moved from Kehelathah and encamped at Mount Shepher. ²⁴Then they moved from Mount Shepher and encamped at Haradah. ²⁵Then they moved from Haradah and encamped at Makheloth. ²⁶Then they moved from Makheloth and encamped at Tahath. ²⁷Then they moved from Tahath and encamped at Terah. ²⁸Then they moved from Terah and encamped at Mithcah. ²⁹Then they moved from Mithcah and encamped at Hashmonah. ³⁰Then they moved from Hashmonah and encamped at Moseroth. ³¹Then they moved from Moseroth and encamped at Bene-Jaakan. ³²Then they moved from Bene-Jaakan and encamped at Hor-Haggidgad. ³³Then they moved from Hor-Haggidgad and encamped at Jotbathah. ³⁴Then they moved from Jotbathah and encamped at Abronah. ³⁵Then they moved from Abronah and encamped at Ezion-Geber. ³⁶Then they moved from Ezion-Geber and encamped in the Desert of Zin, which is Kadesh. ³⁷Then they moved from Kadesh and encamped at Mount Hor, at the edge of the land of Edom. ³⁸And Aaron the priest went up Mount Hor according to the instruction of the Lord, and he died there, in the fortieth year after the exodus of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the month. ³⁹And Aaron was one hundred and twenty-three years old when he died at Mount Hor. ⁴⁰And the Canaanite heard it – King Arad – when he was living in the south, in the land of Canaan, when the sons of Israel came. ⁴¹Then they moved from Mount Hor and encamped at Zalmonah. ⁴²Then they moved from Zalmonah and encamped at Punon. ⁴³Then they moved from Punon and encamped at Oboth. ⁴⁴Then they moved from Oboth and encamped at the ruins of Abarim in the territory of Moab. ⁴⁵Then they moved from “The Ruins” and encamped at Dibon-Gad. ⁴⁶Then they moved from Dibon-Gad and encamped at Almon-Diblathaim. ⁴⁷Then they moved from Almon-Diblathaim and encamped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. ⁴⁸Then they moved from the mountains of Abarim and encamped in the arid tracts of Moab, near the Jordan at Jericho. ⁴⁹Then they encamped at the Jordan, from Beth-Jeshimoth to Abel-Shittim, in the arid tracts of Moab. ⁵⁰Then the Lord spoke to Moses in the arid tracts of Moab, near the Jordan at Jericho, and he said, ⁵¹“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you have crossed the Jordan into the land of Canaan, ⁵²you will dispossess all the inhabitants of the land in front of you, and you will destroy all their effigies, and you will destroy all their cast images, and you will demolish all their idolatrous raised sites. ⁵³And you will dispossess the land, and you will dwell in it, for I have given you the land, to inherit it. ⁵⁴And you will inherit the land by lot, according to your families. To a large one you will give a large inheritance, and to a small one you will give a small inheritance. Wherever his lot falls, he will have it. You will inherit according to your paternal tribes. ⁵⁵But if you do not dispossess the inhabitants of the land before you, then it will come to pass that those of them that you let remain will be thorns in your eyes and spikes in your sides, and they will be hostile to you in the land in which you live. ⁵⁶And it will come to pass, that as I thought to do to them, I will do to you.’ ”
