Numbers 33

1 These are the camping sites in the journey of the People of Israel after they left Egypt, deployed militarily under the command of Moses and Aaron.

2 Under God's instruction Moses kept a log of every time they moved, camp by camp:

3 They marched out of Rameses the day after the Passover. It was the fifteenth day of the first month. They marched out heads high and confident.

4 The Egyptians, busy burying their firstborn whom God had killed, watched them go. God had exposed the nonsense of their gods.

37 After they left Kadesh and camped at Mount Hor at the border of Edom,

38 Aaron the priest climbed Mount Hor at God's command and died there. It was the first day of the fifth month in the fortieth year after the People of Israel had left Egypt.

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

40 The Canaanite king of Arad - he ruled in the Negev of Canaan - heard that the People of Israel had arrived.

48 After they left the mountains of Abarim they camped on the Plains of Moab at Jordan-Jericho.

49 On the Plains of Moab their camp stretched along the banks of the Jordan from Beth Jeshimoth to Abel Shittim (Acacia Meadow).

50 God spoke to Moses on the Plains of Moab at Jordan-Jericho:

51 "Tell the People of Israel, When you cross the Jordan into the country of Canaan,

52 drive out the native population before you, destroy their carved idols, destroy their cast images, level their worship-mounds

53 so that you take over the land and make yourself at home in it; I've given it to you. It's yours.

54 "Divide up the land by lot according to the size of your clans: Large clans will get large tracts of land, small clans will get smaller tracts of land. However the lot falls, that's it. Divide it up according to your ancestral tribes.

55 "But if you don't drive out the native population, everyone you let stay there will become a cinder in your eye and a splinter in your foot. They'll give you endless trouble right in your own backyards.

56 And I'll start treating you the way I planned to treat them."

Numbers 34

1 God spoke to Moses:

2 "Command the People of Israel. Tell them: When you enter Canaan, these are the borders of the land you are getting as an inheritance:

3 "Your southern border will take in some of the Wilderness of Zin where it touches Edom. It starts in the east at the Dead Sea,

4 curves south of Scorpion Pass and on to Zin, continues south of Kadesh Barnea, then to Hazar Addar and on to Azmon,

5 where it takes a turn to the northwest to the Brook of Egypt and on to the Mediterranean Sea.

6 "Your western border will be the Mediterranean Sea.

7 "Your northern border runs on a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor,

8 and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath, connects to Zedad,

9 continues to Ziphron, and ends at Hazar Enan. This is your northern border.

10 "Your eastern border runs on a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham.

11 The border goes south from Shepham to Riblah to the east of Ain, and continues along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.

12 The border then follows the Jordan River and ends at the Dead Sea. "This is your land with its four borders."

13 Moses then commanded the People of Israel: "This is the land: Divide up the inheritance by lot. God has ordered it to be given to the nine and a half tribes.

14 The tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their inheritance;

15 the two tribes and the half-tribe got their inheritance east of Jordan-Jericho, facing the sunrise."

16 God spoke to Moses:

17 "These are the men who will be in charge of distributing the inheritance of the land: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

18 Assign one leader from each tribe to help them in distributing the land.

19 Assign these: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;

20 Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;

21 Elidad son of Kislon from the tribe of Benjamin;

22 Bukki son of Jogli, leader from the tribe of Dan;

23 Hanniel son of Ephod, leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;

24 Kemuel son of Shiphtan, leader from the tribe of Ephraim son of Joseph;

25 Elizaphan son of Parnach, leader from the tribe of Zebulun;

26 Paltiel son of Azzan, leader from the tribe of Issachar;

27 Ahihud son of Shelomi, leader from the tribe of Asher;

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

29 These are the men God commanded to hand out the assignments of land-inheritance to the People of Israel in the country of Canaan.
