Numbers 33

1 These were the movements of the people of Israel after they left the land of Egypt by their armed groups under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.

These are the journeys of the children of Israel, when they went out of the land of Egypt in their armies, under the direction of Moses and Aaron.

2 Moses wrote down the places from where they left to where they went, as commanded by Yahweh. These were their movements, departure after departure.

And the stages of their journey on their way out were put down in writing by Moses at the order of the Lord: these are the stages of their journey and the way they went.

3 They traveled from Rameses during the first month, leaving on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the morning after the Passover, the people of Israel left openly, in the sight of all the Egyptians.

On the fifteenth day of the first month they went out from Rameses; on the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out by the power of the Lord before the eyes of all the Egyptians,

4 This happened while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, those whom Yahweh had killed among them, for he also inflicted punishment on their gods.

While the Egyptians were placing in the earth the bodies of their sons on whom the Lord had sent destruction: and their gods had been judged by him.

50 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho and said,

And in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho, the Lord said to Moses,

51 “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, 'When you cross over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

Say to the children of Israel, When you go over Jordan into the land of Canaan,

52 then you must drive out all the land's inhabitants before you. You must destroy all their carved figures. You must destroy all their cast figures and demolish all their high places.

See that all the people of the land are forced out from before you, and put to destruction all their pictured stones, and all their metal images, and all their high places:

53 You must take possession of the land and settle in it, because I have given you the land to possess.

And take the land for yourselves, for your resting-place: for to you I have given the land as your heritage.

54 You must inherit the land by lot, according to each clan. To the larger clans you must give a larger share of land, and to the smaller clans you must give a smaller share of land. Wherever the lot falls to each clan, that land will belong to it. You will inherit the land according to your ancestors' tribes.

And you will take up your heritage in the land by the decision of the Lord, to every family its part; the greater the family the greater its heritage, and the smaller the family the smaller will be its heritage; wherever the decision of the Lord gives to any man his part, that will be his; distribution will be made to you by your fathers' tribes.

55 But if you do not drive out the land's inhabitants before you, then the people you allow to stay will become like objects in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will make your lives difficult in the land where you settle.

But if you are slow in driving out the people of the land, then those of them who are still there will be like pin-points in your eyes and like thorns in your sides, troubling you in the land where you are living.

56 Then it will happen that what I now intend to do to those people, I will do also to you.'”

And it will come about that as it was my purpose to do to them, so I will do to you.
