1
These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out
of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and
Aaron.
2 And Moses wrote their goings
out according to their journeys by the commandment of the Lord:and
these are their journeys according to their goings out.
3
And they departed from Rameses (Egypt) in the first month, on the
fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the
children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the
Egyptians.
4 For the Egyptians buried
all their firstborn, which the Lord had smitten among them:upon their
gods also the Lord executed judgments.
5
And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in
Succoth. 6 And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which
is in the edge of the wilderness.
7 And
they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which is
before Baalzephon:and they pitched before Migdol. 8 And they departed
from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days 'journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.
9
And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim:and in Elim were twelve
fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched
there.
10 And they removed from Elim,
and encamped by the Red sea. 11 And they removed from the Red sea, and
encamped in the wilderness of Sin. 12 And they took their journey out of
the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.
13
And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush. 14 And they
removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the
people to drink.
15 And they departed
from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai. 16 And they
removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibrothhattaavah. 17
And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth. 18
And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah. 19 And they
departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmonparez. 20 And they departed
from Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah. 21 And they removed from
Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.
22 And
they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah. 23 And they went
from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher. 24 And they removed from
mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah. 25 And they removed from
Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth. 26 And they removed from Makheloth,
and encamped at Tahath. 27 And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at
Tarah. 28 And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah. 29 And
they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah. 30 And they departed
from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth. 31 And they departed from
Moseroth, and pitched in Benejaakan. 32 And they removed from
Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad. 33 And they went from
Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah. 34 And they removed from
Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah. 35 And they departed from Ebronah,
and encamped at Eziongaber.
36 And they
removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is
Kadesh. 37 And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in
the edge of the land of Edom.
38 And
Aaron 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 were
come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month. 39 And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.
40 And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
41 And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah. 42 And
they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon. 43 And they departed
from Punon, and pitched in Oboth. 44 And they departed from Oboth, and
pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab.
45
And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad. 46 And they
removed from Dibongad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim. 47 And they
removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim,
before Nebo.
48 And they departed from
the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan
near Jericho. 49 And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even unto
Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.
Along
the way, they took many cities (by the commandment of God) and took the
spoils of many cities. (Remember the accounting of the spoils in
Numbers 31)
50 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying, 51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; 52 Then
ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and
destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and
quite pluck down all their high places:53 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein:for I have given you the land to possess it.
54
And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your
families:and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the
fewer ye shall give the less inheritance:every man's inheritance shall
be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your
fathers ye shall inherit.
55 But if
ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then
it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be
pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the
land wherein ye dwell.
56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
