¹ These [are] the journeys of the sons of Israel who have come out of the land of Egypt, by their hosts, by the hand of Moses and Aaron;² and Moses writes their outgoings, by their journeys, by the command of YHWH; and these [are] their journeys, by their outgoings:³ And they journey from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; from the day after the Passover the sons of Israel have gone out with a high hand before the eyes of all the Egyptians—⁴ and the Egyptians are burying those whom YHWH has struck among them, every firstborn, and YHWH has done judgments on their gods.⁵ And the sons of Israel journey from Rameses and encamp in Succoth.⁶ And they journey from Succoth and encamp in Etham, which [is] in the extremity of the wilderness.⁷ And they journey from Etham and turn back over Pi-Hahiroth, which [is] on the front of Ba‘al-Zephon, and they encamp before Migdol.⁸ And they journey from Pi-Hahiroth, and pass over through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and go a journey of three days in the wilderness of Etham, and encamp in Marah.⁹ And they journey from Marah and come to Elim, and twelve fountains of waters and seventy palm trees [are] in Elim, and they encamp there.¹⁰ And they journey from Elim and encamp by the Red Sea.¹¹ And they journey from the Red Sea and encamp in the wilderness of Sin.¹² And they journey from the wilderness of Sin and encamp in Dophkah.¹³ And they journey from Dophkah and encamp in Alush.¹⁴ And they journey from Alush and encamp in Rephidim; and there was no water there for the people to drink.¹⁵ And they journey from Rephidim and encamp in the wilderness of Sinai.¹⁶ And they journey from the wilderness of Sinai and encamp in Kibroth-Hattaavah.¹⁷ And they journey from Kibroth-Hattaavah and encamp in Hazeroth.¹⁸ And they journey from Hazeroth and encamp in Rithmah.¹⁹ And they journey from Rithmah and encamp in Rimmon-Parez.²⁰ And they journey from Rimmon-Parez and encamp in Libnah.²¹ And they journey from Libnah and encamp in Rissah.²² And they journey from Rissah and encamp in Kehelathah.²³ And they journey from Kehelathah and encamp in Mount Shapher.²⁴ And they journey from Mount Shapher and encamp in Haradah.²⁵ And they journey from Haradah and encamp in Makheloth.²⁶ And they journey from Makheloth and encamp in Tahath.²⁷ And they journey from Tahath and encamp in Tarah.²⁸ And they journey from Tarah and encamp in Mithcah.²⁹ And they journey from Mithcah and encamp in Hashmonah.³⁰ And they journey from Hashmonah and encamp in Moseroth.³¹ And they journey from Moseroth and encamp in Bene-Jaakan.³² And they journey from Bene-Jaakan and encamp at Hor-Hagidgad.³³ And they journey from Hor-Hagidgad and encamp in Jotbathah.³⁴ And they journey from Jotbathah and encamp in Ebronah.³⁵ And they journey from Ebronah and encamp in Ezion-Gaber.³⁶ And they journey from Ezion-Gaber and encamp in the wilderness of Zin, which [is] Kadesh.³⁷ And they journey from Kadesh and encamp in Mount Hor, in the extremity of the land of Edom.³⁸ And Aaron the priest goes up to Mount Hor by the command of YHWH, and dies there in the fortieth year of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first of the month;³⁹ and Aaron [is] a son of one hundred and twenty-three years in his dying on Mount Hor.⁴⁰ And the Canaanite, king of Arad, who is dwelling in the south in the land of Canaan, hears of the coming of the sons of Israel.⁴¹ And they journey from Mount Hor and encamp in Zalmonah.⁴² And they journey from Zalmonah and encamp in Punon.⁴³ And they journey from Punon and encamp in Oboth.⁴⁴ And they journey from Oboth and encamp in Ije-Abarim, in the border of Moab.⁴⁵ And they journey from Iim and encamp in Dibon-Gad.⁴⁶ And they journey from Dibon-Gad and encamp in Almon-Diblathaim.⁴⁷ And they journey from Almon-Diblathaim and encamp in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.⁴⁸ And they journey from the mountains of Abarim and encamp in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, [near] Jericho.⁴⁹ And they encamp by the Jordan, from Beth-Jeshimoth as far as Abel-Shittim in the plains of Moab.

⁵⁰ And YHWH speaks to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, [near] Jericho, saying,⁵¹ "Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When you are passing over the Jordan to the land of Canaan,⁵² then you have dispossessed all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and have destroyed all their imagery, indeed, you destroy all their molten images, and you lay waste [to] all their high places,⁵³ and you have possessed the land and dwelt in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it.⁵⁴ And you have inherited the land by lot, by your families; to the many you increase their inheritance, and to the few you diminish their inheritance; to where the lot goes out to him, it is his; you inherit by the tribes of your fathers.⁵⁵ And if you do not dispossess the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it has been [that] those whom you let remain of them [are] for pricks in your eyes and for thorns in your sides, and they have distressed you on the land in which you are dwelling,⁵⁶ and it has come to pass, as I thought to do to them, I do to you."
