Chapter 33
1 These are the stages of the children of Israel, by which
they went forth out of the land of Egypt by their hosts under the hand of Moses
and Aaron.
2 And Moses wrote their goings forth, stage by stage, by the
commandment of HaShem; and these are their stages at their goings forth.
3 And 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 a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians,
4 while the Egyptians were burying them that HaShem had
smitten among them, even all their first-born; upon their gods also HaShem
executed judgments.
5 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses, and
pitched in Succoth.
6 And they journeyed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham,
which is in the edge of the wilderness.
7 And they journeyed from Etham, and turned back unto
Pihahiroth, which is before Baal-zephon; and they pitched before Migdol.
8 And they journeyed from Penehahiroth, 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.
9 And 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.
10 And they journeyed from Elim, and pitched by the Red Sea.
11 And they journeyed from the Red Sea, and pitched in the
wilderness of Sin.
12 And they journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, and pitched
in Dophkah.
13 And they journeyed from Dophkah, and pitched in Alush.
14 And they journeyed from Alush, and pitched in Rephidim,
where was no water for the people to drink.
15 And they journeyed from Rephidim, and pitched in the
wilderness of Sinai.
16 And they journeyed from the wilderness of Sinai, and
pitched in Kibroth-hattaavah.
17 And they journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and pitched in
Hazeroth.
18 And they journeyed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.
19 And they journeyed from Rithmah, and pitched in
Rimmon-perez.
20 And they journeyed from Rimmon-perez, and pitched in
Libnah.
21 And they journeyed from Libnah, and pitched in Rissah.
22 And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelah.
23 And they journeyed from Kehelah, and pitched in mount
Shepher.
24 And they journeyed from mount Shepher, and pitched in
Haradah.
25 And they journeyed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.
26 And they journeyed from Makheloth, and pitched in Tahath.
27 And they journeyed from Tahath, and pitched in Terah.
28 And they journeyed from Terah, and pitched in Mithkah.
29 And they journeyed from Mithkah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
30 And they journeyed from Hashmonah, and pitched in Moseroth.
31 And they journeyed from Moseroth, and pitched in
Bene-jaakan.
32 And they journeyed from Bene-jaakan, and pitched in
Hor-haggidgad.
33 And they journeyed from Hor-haggidgad, and pitched in
Jotbah.
34 And they journeyed from Jotbah, and pitched in Abronah.
35 And they journeyed from Abronah, and pitched in
Ezion-geber.
36 And they journeyed from Ezion-geber, and pitched in the
wilderness of Zin--the same is Kadesh.
37 And they journeyed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor,
in the edge of the land of Edom.--
38 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the
commandment of HaShem, 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.
39 And Aaron was a hundred and twenty and three years old
when he died in mount Hor.
40 And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the
South in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.--
41 And they journeyed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
42 And they journeyed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
43 And they journeyed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.
44 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched in Ije-abarim,
in the border of Moab.
45 And they journeyed from Ijim, and pitched in Dibon-gad.
46 And they journeyed from Dibon-gad, and pitched in
Almon-diblathaim.
47 And they journeyed from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in
the mountains of Abarim, in front of Nebo.
48 And they journeyed from the mountains of Abarim, and
pitched in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
49 And they pitched by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth even
unto Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.
50 And HaShem spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the
Jordan at Jericho, saying:
51 'Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them:
When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
52 then 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.
53 And ye shall drive out the inhabitants of the land, and
dwell therein; for unto you have I given the land to possess it.
54 And 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.
55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land
from before you, then shall those that ye let remain of them be as thorns in
your eyes, and as pricks in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land
wherein ye dwell.
56 And it shall come to pass, that as I thought to do unto
them, so will I do unto you.
