Numbers 33

1 Here are the places where the people of Israel stopped during their journey. When they came out of Egypt, they marched in companies like an army. Moses and Aaron led them.

2 The LORD commanded Moses to record their journey. Here are the places where they stopped.

3 The people of Israel started out from Rameses. It was the 15th day of the first month. It was the day after the Passover Feast. They marched out boldly in plain sight of all of the Egyptians.

4 The Egyptians were burying all of their oldest sons. The LORD had struck them down. He had done it when he punished their gods.

5 The people of Israel left Rameses and camped at Succoth.

6 They left Succoth and camped at Etham. Etham was on the edge of the desert.

7 They left Etham and turned back to Pi Hahiroth. It was east of Baal Zephon. They camped near Migdol.

8 They left Pi Hahiroth. Then they passed through the Red Sea into the desert. They traveled for three days in the Desert of Etham. Then they camped at Marah.

38 The priest Aaron went up Mount Hor when the LORD commanded him to. That's where he died. It happened on the first day of the fifth month. It was the 40th year after the people of Israel came out of Egypt.

39 Aaron was 123 years old when he died on Mount Hor.

40 The Canaanite king of Arad lived in the Negev Desert in Canaan. He heard that the people of Israel were coming.

41 They left Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah.

47 They left Almon Diblathaim and camped in the mountain range of Abarim near Nebo.

48 They left the mountain range of Abarim and camped on the flatlands of Moab. They were by the Jordan River across from Jericho.

49 They camped there along the Jordan River from Beth Jeshimoth to Abel Shittim.

50 On the flatlands of Moab the LORD spoke to Moses. He spoke to him by the Jordan River across from Jericho. The LORD said,

51 "Speak to the people of Israel. Tell them, 'Go across the Jordan River into Canaan.

52 Drive out all those who are living in the land. The statues of their gods are made out of stone and metal. Destroy all of those statues. And destroy all of the high places where they are worshiped.

53 " 'Take the land as your own. Settle down in it. I have given it to you.

54 Use lots when you give out the land. Do it based on the number of men who are in each tribe and family. Give a larger share to a larger group. And give a smaller group a smaller share. The share they receive by using lots will belong to them. Give out the shares based on the number of men in Israel's tribes.

55 " 'But suppose you do not drive out the people who are living in the land. Then those you allow to remain there will become like needles in your eyes. They will become like thorns in your sides. They will give you trouble in the land where you will live.

56 Then I will do to you what I plan to do to them.' "

Numbers 34

1 The LORD spoke to Moses. He said,

2 "Give the people of Israel a command. Tell them, 'You are going to enter Canaan. The land will be given to you as your own. Here are the borders it will have.

3 " 'Your southern border will include some of the Desert of Zin. It will be along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will start from the end of the Dead Sea.

4 It will cross south of Scorpion Pass. It will continue on to Zin. From there it will go south of Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon.

5 There it will turn and join the Wadi of Egypt. It will come to an end at the Mediterranean Sea.

6 " 'Your western border will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. That will be your border on the west.

7 " 'For your northern border, run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor.

8 Continue it from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath. Then the border will go to Zedad.

9 It will continue to Ziphron. It will come to an end at Hazar Enan. That will be your border on the north.

10 " 'For your eastern border, run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham.

11 The border will go down from Shepham to Riblah. Riblah is on the east side of Ain. From there the border will continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.

12 Then the border will go down along the Jordan River. It will come to an end at the Dead Sea. " 'That will be your land. And those will be its borders on every side.' "

13 Moses gave the people of Israel a command. He said, "Use lots when you give out the land. Each tribe will have its own share. The LORD has ordered it to be given to the nine and a half tribes.

14 "The families of the tribes of Reuben and Gad have already received their shares. The families of half of the tribe of Manasseh have also received their share.

15 Those two and a half tribes have received their shares east of the Jordan River. It flows near Jericho. Their land is toward the sunrise."

16 The LORD spoke to Moses. He said,

17 "Here are the names of the men who will give out the shares of the land to your people. They are the priest Eleazar and Joshua, the son of Nun.

18 Also appoint one leader from each tribe to help give out the land.

19 Here are their names. "Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, is from the tribe of Judah.

20 Shemuel, the son of Ammihud, is from the tribe of Simeon.

21 Elidad, the son of Kislon, is from the tribe of Benjamin.

22 Bukki, the son of Jogli, is the leader from the tribe of Dan.

23 Hanniel, the son of Ephod, is the leader from the tribe of Manasseh. Manasseh was the son of Joseph.

24 Kemuel, the son of Shiphtan, is the leader from the tribe of Ephraim. Ephraim was the son of Joseph.

25 Elizaphan, the son of Parnach, is the leader from the tribe of Zebulun.

26 Paltiel, the son of Azzan, is the leader from the tribe of Issachar.

27 Ahihud, the son of Shelomi, is the leader from the tribe of Asher.

28 Pedahel, the son of Ammihud, is the leader from the tribe of Naphtali."

29 Those are the men the LORD commanded to give out the shares of the land. They were commanded to give them to Israel in the land of Canaan.
