Chapter 33The journey of the Israelites from Egypt

1This is the way that the Israelites travelled, after Moses and Aaron led them out of Egypt. They travelled in their family groups.

2The Lord told Moses that he should write about the journey. These are the places where they made their camps on the way:

3They left Rameses in Egypt on the 15th day of the first month. That was the day after the Passover meal. The Israelites marched out bravely, while all the Egyptian people watched them.

4As they left, the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn sons, because the Lord had killed them. The Lord had shown his power over the Egyptians' gods.

5They left Rameses and they travelled to Succoth. They made their camp there.

6They travelled from Succoth to Etham. They made their camp there, on the edge of the desert.

7They travelled from Etham and they turned round to go to Pi-Hahiroth, which is east of Baal-Zephon. They made their camp near Migdol.

8They travelled from Pi-Hahiroth. They went through the middle of the sea and then went into the desert. They travelled for three days and then they made their camp at Marah, in the Etham Desert.

9They travelled from Marah to Elim. At Elim, there were 12 wells of water and 70 palm trees. They made their camp there.

10They travelled from Elim and they made their camp at the side of the Red Sea.

11They travelled from the Red Sea. And they made their camp in the Sin Desert.

12They travelled from the Sin Desert and they made their camp at Dophkah.

13They travelled from Dophkah and they made their camp at Alush.

14They travelled from Alush and they made their camp at Rephidim. There was no water there for the people to drink.

15They travelled from Rephidim and they made their camp in the Sinai Desert.

16They travelled from the Sinai Desert and they made their camp at Kibroth-Hattaavah.

17They travelled from Kibroth-Hattaavah and they made their camp at Hazeroth.

18They travelled from Hazeroth and they made their camp at Rithmah.

19They travelled from Rithmah and they made their camp at Rimmon-Perez.

20They travelled from Rimmon-Perez and they made their camp at Libnah.

21They travelled from Libnah and they made their camp at Rissah.

22They travelled from Rissah and they made their camp at Kehelathah.

23They travelled from Kehelathah and they made their camp at Mount Shepher.

24They travelled from Mount Shepher and they made their camp at Haradah.

25They travelled from Haradah and they made their camp at Makheloth.

26They travelled from Makheloth and they made their camp at Tahath.

27They travelled from Tahath and they made their camp at Terah.

28They travelled from Terah and they made their camp at Mithcah.

29They travelled from Mithcah and they made their camp at Hashmonah.

30They travelled from Hashmonah and they made their camp at Moseroth.

31They travelled from Moseroth and they made their camp at Bene-Jaakan.

32They travelled from Bene-Jaakan and they made their camp at Hor-Haggidgad.

33They travelled from Hor-Haggidgad and they made their camp at Jotbathah.

34They travelled from Jotbathah and they made their camp at Abronah.

35They travelled from Abronah and they made their camp at Ezion-Geber.

36They travelled from Ezion-Geber and they made their camp at Kadesh in the Zin Desert.

37They travelled from Kadesh and they made their camp at Mount Hor. It is on the border of Edom land.

38The Lord told Aaron that he must go up Mount Hor. Aaron went up and he died there. That was in the 40th year after the Israelites had left Egypt. He died on the first day of the fifth month.

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

40The king of Arad lived in the south part of the land of Canaan. People told him that the Israelites were coming.

41The Israelites travelled from Mount Hor and they made their camp at Zalmonah.

42They travelled from Zalmonah and they made their camp at Punon.

43They travelled from Punon and they made their camp at Oboth.

44They travelled from Oboth and they made their camp at Iye-Abarim, on the border of Moab land.

45They travelled from Iye-Abarim and they made their camp at Dibon-Gad.

46They travelled from Dibon-Gad and they made their camp at Almon-Diblathaim.

47They travelled from Almon-Diblathaim and they made their camp in the mountains of Abarim, near Nebo.

48They travelled from the mountains of Abarim and they made their camp in Moab beside the Jordan River. They were on the other side of the river from Jericho city.

49They made their camp on the flat ground beside the river. Their tents covered the ground from Beth-Jeshimoth to Abel-Shittim.

50Then the Lord spoke to Moses there in Moab beside the Jordan River. Jericho was on the other side of the river. The Lord said,

51‘Say to the Israelites, “You will go across the Jordan River and you will go into the land of Canaan.

52Then you must chase out all the people who live in that land. You must destroy all their idols that are made from wood or stone. Also destroy the altars where they worship their false gods.

53I have given this land to you to live in. So you must win power over the people who live there now.

54You must use lots to choose how to give part of the land to each family. You must give more land to the larger clans and you must give less land to the smaller clans. The lots will decide which piece of land belongs to each family. Each of your ancestors' tribes will get its own part of the land.

55If any Canaanites remain in the land, they will cause the Israelites to suffer. So you must chase them all away.

56If you do not do that, I will punish you in the way that I wanted to punish them.” ’
