The Forty-Two Journeys of the Israelites

1These are the journeys of the children of Israel, when they went forth out of the land of Egypt by their hosts under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 2And 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. 3And they journeyed from Rameses 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, 4while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.

5And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth. 6And they journeyed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness. 7And they journeyed from Etham, and turned back unto Pi-hahiroth, which is before Baal-zephon: and they pitched before Migdol. 8And they journeyed from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness: and they went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah. 9And they journeyed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve springs of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there. 10And they journeyed from Elim, and pitched by the Red Sea. 11And they journeyed from the Red Sea, and pitched in the wilderness of Sin. 12And they journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, and pitched in Dophkah. 13And they journeyed from Dophkah, and pitched in Alush. 14And they journeyed from Alush, and pitched in Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink. 15And they journeyed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai. 16And they journeyed from the wilderness of Sinai, and pitched in Kibroth-hattaavah.

17And they journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and pitched in Hazeroth. 18And they journeyed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah. 19And they journeyed from Rithmah, and pitched in Rimmon-perez. 20And they journeyed from Rimmon-perez, and pitched in Libnah. 21And they journeyed from Libnah, and pitched in Rissah. 22And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah. 23And they journeyed from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shepher. 24And they journeyed from mount Shepher, and pitched in Haradah. 25And they journeyed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth. 26And they journeyed from Makheloth, and pitched in Tahath. 27And they journeyed from Tahath, and pitched in Terah. 28And they journeyed from Terah, and pitched in Mithkah. 29And they journeyed from Mithkah, and pitched in Hashmonah. 30And they journeyed from Hashmonah, and pitched in Moseroth. 31And they journeyed from Moseroth, and pitch in Bene-jaakan. 32And they journeyed from Bene-jaakan, and pitched in Hor-haggidgad. 33And they journeyed from Hor-haggidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah. 34And they journeyed from Jotbathah, and pitched in Abronah. 35And they journeyed from Abronah, and pitched in Ezion-geber. 36And they journeyed from Ezion-geber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin (the same is Kadesh). 37And they journeyed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.

38And 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 fifth month, on the first day of the month. 39And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.

40And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, which dwelt in the South in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

41And they journeyed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah. 42And they journeyed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon. 43And they journeyed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth. 44And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched in Iye-abarim, in the border of Moab. 45And they journeyed from Iyim, and pitched in Dibon-gad. 46And they journeyed from Dibon-gad, and pitched in Almon-diblathaim. 47And they journeyed from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. 48And they journeyed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 49And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth even unto Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.

Canaanites to Be Destroyed

50And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 51Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured stones, and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places: 53and ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein: for unto you have I given the land to possess it. 54And ye shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance: wheresoever the lot falleth to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye inherit. 55But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then shall those which ye let remain of them be as pricks in your eyes, and as thorns in your sides, and they shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell. 56And it shall come to pass, that as I thought to do unto them, so will I do unto you.
