¹This is the list of the journeys of the Israelites after they came out of Egypt. They marched in their groups, led by Moses and Aaron. ²The LORD told Moses to write down each stage of their journey, and he did. Here are the stages, listed by the places they started from: ³The Israelites left Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month. It was the day after the Passover. They marched out boldly while all the Egyptians watched. ⁴The Egyptians 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, at the edge of the wilderness. ⁷They left Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, across from Baal-zephon. They camped near Migdol. ⁸They left Pi-hahiroth and passed through the sea into the wilderness. They traveled three days into the Wilderness of Etham and camped at Marah. ⁹They left Marah and came to Elim.

He died there on the first day of the fifth month. It was the fortieth year after the Israelites had come out of Egypt. ³⁹Aaron was 123 years old when he died on Mount Hor. ⁴⁰Now the Canaanite king of Arad heard that the Israelites were coming. He lived in the Negev in the land of Canaan. ⁴¹The Israelites 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.a ⁴⁶They left Dibon-gad and camped at Almon-diblathaim. ⁴⁷They left Almon-diblathaim and camped in the mountains of Abarim, facing Nebo. ⁴⁸They left the mountains of Abarim and camped on the plains of Moab. They were by the Jordan River, across from Jericho. ⁴⁹There on the plains of Moab, they camped by the Jordan. Their camp stretched from Beth-jeshimoth to Abel-shittim. ⁵⁰The LORD spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho. He said, ⁵¹"Speak to the Israelites and tell them this. You will cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan. ⁵²When you do, you must drive out all the people who live in the land. Destroy all their carved idols and metal idols. Tear down all their high places of worship. ⁵³Take over the land and live in it, for I have given you the land to own. ⁵⁴Divide the land among your clans by casting lots. Give a larger share to a larger clan and a smaller share to a smaller clan. Whatever land the lot gives to each one will be his. You will get your shares by the tribes of your fathers. ⁵⁵But suppose you don't drive out the people who live in the land. Then those you let stay will be like sharp hooks in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will cause you trouble in the land where you live. ⁵⁶And then I will do to you what I planned to do to them."
