37They set out from Kadesh and camped at Mount Hor, on the outskirts of the land of Edom.38At YHVH’s command, Aaron the priest climbed Mount Hor and died there on the first day of the fifth month, in the fortieth year after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt. 39Aaron was 123 years old when he died on Mount Hor.
40Now the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev in the land of Canaan, heard that the Israelites were coming. 41And the Israelites set out from Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah.
42They set out from Zalmonah and camped at Punon.
43They set out from Punon and camped at Oboth.
44They set out from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim on the border of Moab.
45They set out from Iyime and camped at Dibon-gad.
46They set out from Dibon-gad and camped at Almon-diblathaim.
47They set out from Almon-diblathaim and camped in the mountains of Abarimf facing Nebo.
48They set out from the mountains of Abarim and camped on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.
49And there on the plains of Moab they camped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth to Abel-shittim.
50On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, YHVH said to Moses, 51“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52you must drive out before you all the inhabitants of the land, destroy all their carved images and cast idols, and demolish all their high places.
53You are to take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess.54And you are to divide the land by lot according to your clans. Give a larger inheritance to a larger clan and a smaller inheritance to a smaller one. Whatever falls to each one by lot will be his. You will receive an inheritance according to the tribes of your fathers.
55But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides; they will harass you in the land where you settle.56And then I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.”
Numbers 33:37-56
1Then YHVH said to Moses, 2“Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries:
3Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea,a 4cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim,b continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon, 5where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea.c
6Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west.
7Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor, 8and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad, 9continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north.
10And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham, 11then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth.d 12Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea.
This will be your land, defined by its borders on all sides.”
13So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. YHVH has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes. 14For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance. 15These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
