33This is the route the Israelites followed as they marched out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.H4550H1121H3478H3318H776H4714H6635H3027H4872H175 2At the LORD's direction, Moses kept a written record of their progress. These are the stages of their march, identified by the different places where they stopped along the way.H4872H3789H4161H4550H6310H3068H4550H4161 3They set out from the city of Rameses in early spring—on the fifteenth day of the first month—on the morning after the first Passover celebration. The people of Israel left defiantly, in full view of all the Egyptians.H5265H7486H7223H2320H6240H2568H3117H7223H2320H4283H6453H1121H3478H3318H7311H3027H5869H4714 4Meanwhile, the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn sons, whom the LORD had killed the night before. The LORD had defeated the gods of Egypt that night with great acts of judgment!H4714H6912H1060H3068H5221H430H3068H6213H8201 5After leaving Rameses, the Israelites set up camp at Succoth.H1121H3478H5265H7486H2583H5523 6Then they left Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.H5265H5523H2583H864H7097H4057 7They left Etham and turned back toward Pi-hahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon, and camped near Migdol.H5265H864H7725H6367H1189H2583H6440H4024 8They left Pi-hahiroth and crossed the Red Sea into the wilderness beyond. Then they traveled for three days into the Etham wilderness and camped at Marah.H5265H6440H6367H5674H8432H3220H4057H3212H7969H3117H1870H4057H864H2583H4785 9They left Marah and camped at Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees.H5265H4785H935H362H362H8147H6240H5869H4325H7657H8558H2583 10They left Elim and camped beside the Red Sea.H5265H362H2583H5488H3220 11They left the Red Sea and camped in the wilderness of Sin.H5265H5488H3220H2583H4057H5512 12They left the wilderness of Sin and camped at Dophkah.H5265H4057H5512H2583H1850 13They left Dophkah and camped at Alush.H5265H1850H2583H442 14They left Alush and camped at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.H5265H442H2583H7508H4325H5971H8354 15They left Rephidim and camped in the wilderness of Sinai.H5265H7508H2583H4057H5514 16They left the wilderness of Sinai and camped at Kibroth-hattaavah.H5265H4057H5514H2583H6914 17They left Kibroth-hattaavah and camped at Hazeroth.H5265H6914H2583H2698 18They left Hazeroth and camped at Rithmah.H5265H2698H2583H7575 19They left Rithmah and camped at Rimmon-perez.H5265H7575H2583H7428 20They left Rimmon-perez and camped at Libnah.H5265H7428H2583H3841 21They left Libnah and camped at Rissah.H5265H3841H2583H7446 22They left Rissah and camped at Kehelathah.H5265H7446H2583H6954 23They left Kehelathah and camped at Mount Shepher.H5265H6954H2583H2022H8234 24They left Mount Shepher and camped at Haradah.H5265H2022H8234H2583H2732 25They left Haradah and camped at Makheloth.H5265H2732H2583H4722 26They left Makheloth and camped at Tahath.H5265H4722H2583H8480 27They left Tahath and camped at Terah.H5265H8480H2583H8646 28They left Terah and camped at Mithcah.H5265H8646H2583H4989 29They left Mithcah and camped at Hashmonah.H5265H4989H2583H2832 30They left Hashmonah and camped at Moseroth.H5265H2832H2583H4149 31They left Moseroth and camped at Bene-jaakan.H5265H4149H2583H1142 32They left Bene-jaakan and camped at Hor-haggidgad.H5265H1142H2583H2735 33They left Hor-haggidgad and camped at Jotbathah.H5265H2735H2583H3193 34They left Jotbathah and camped at Abronah.H5265H3193H2583H5684 35They left Abronah and camped at Ezion-geber.H5265H5684H2583H6100 36They left Ezion-geber and camped at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.H5265H6100H2583H4057H6790H6946 37They left Kadesh and camped at Mount Hor, at the border of Edom.H5265H6946H2583H2022H2023H7097H776H123 38While they were at the foot of Mount Hor, Aaron the priest was directed by the LORD to go up the mountain, and there he died. This happened in midsummer, on the first day of the fifth month of the fortieth year after Israel's departure from Egypt.H175H3548H5927H2022H2023H6310H3068H4191H705H8141H1121H3478H3318H776H4714H259H2549H2320 39Aaron was 123 years old when he died there on Mount Hor.H175H3967H6242H7969H8141H1121H4194H2022H2023 40At that time the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev in the land of Canaan, heard that the people of Israel were approaching his land.H4428H6166H3669H3427H5045H776H3667H8085H935H1121H3478 41Meanwhile, the Israelites left Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah.H5265H2022H2023H2583H6758 42Then they left Zalmonah and camped at Punon.H5265H6758H2583H6325 43They left Punon and camped at Oboth.H5265H6325H2583H88 44They left Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim on the border of Moab.H5265H88H2583H5863H1366H4124 45They left Iye-abarim and camped at Dibon-gad.H5265H5864H2583H1769 46They left Dibon-gad and camped at Almon-diblathaim.H5265H1769H2583H5963 47They left Almon-diblathaim and camped in the mountains east of the river, near Mount Nebo.H5265H5963H2583H2022H5682H6440H5015 48They left the mountains east of the river and camped on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho.H5265H2022H5682H2583H6160H4124H3383H3405 49Along the Jordan River they camped from Beth-jeshimoth as far as the meadows of Acacia on the plains of Moab.H2583H3383H1020H63H6160H4124 50While they were camped near the Jordan River on the plains of Moab opposite Jericho, the LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H6160H4124H3383H3405H559 51"Give the following instructions to the people of Israel: When you cross the Jordan River into the land of Canaan,H1696H1121H3478H559H5674H3383H776H3667 52you must drive out all the people living there. You must destroy all their carved and molten images and demolish all their pagan shrines.H3423H3427H776H6440H6H4906H6H4541H6754H8045H1116 53Take possession of the land and settle in it, because I have given it to you to occupy.H3423H776H3427H5414H776H3423 54You must distribute the land among the clans by sacred lot and in proportion to their size. A larger portion of land will be allotted to each of the larger clans, and a smaller portion will be allotted to each of the smaller clans. The decision of the sacred lot is final. In this way, the portions of land will be divided among your ancestral tribes.H5157H776H1486H5157H4940H7227H7235H5159H4592H4591H5159H1486H3318H4294H1H5157 55But if you fail to drive out the people who live in the land, those who remain will be like splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land where you live.H3423H3427H776H6440H3498H7899H5869H6796H6654H6887H776H3427 56And I will do to you what I had planned to do to them."H6213H1819H6213

34Then the LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H5592"Give these instructions to the Israelites: When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your special possession, these will be the boundaries.H6680H1121H3478H559H935H776H3667H776H5307H5159H776H3667H13673The southern portion of your country will extend from the wilderness of Zin, along the edge of Edom. The southern boundary will begin on the east at the Dead Sea.H5045H6285H4057H6790H3027H123H5045H1366H7097H4417H3220H69244It will then run south past Scorpion Pass in the direction of Zin. Its southernmost point will be Kadesh-barnea, from which it will go to Hazar-addar, and on to Azmon.H1366H5437H5045H4608H4610H5674H6790H8444H5045H6947H3318H2692H5674H61115From Azmon the boundary will turn toward the Brook of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean Sea.H1366H5437H6111H5158H4714H8444H32206"Your western boundary will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.H3220H1366H1419H3220H1366H3220H13667"Your northern boundary will begin at the Mediterranean Sea and run east to Mount Hor,H6828H1366H1419H3220H8376H2022H20238then to Lebo-hamath, and on through ZedadH2022H2023H8376H935H2574H8444H1366H66579and Ziphron to Hazar-enan. This will be your northern boundary.H1366H3318H2202H8444H2704H6828H136610"The eastern boundary will start at Hazar-enan and run south to Shepham,H184H6924H1366H2704H822111then down to Riblah on the east side of Ain. From there the boundary will run down along the eastern edge of the Sea of Galilee,H1366H3381H8221H7247H6924H5871H1366H3381H4229H3802H3220H3672H692412and then along the Jordan River to the Dead Sea. These are the boundaries of your land."H1366H3381H3383H8444H4417H3220H776H1367H543913Then Moses told the Israelites, "This territory is the homeland you are to divide among yourselves by sacred lot. The LORD has commanded that the land be divided among the nine and a half remaining tribes.H4872H6680H1121H3478H559H776H5157H1486H3068H6680H5414H8672H4294H2677H429414The families of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already received their grants of landH4294H1121H7206H1004H1H4294H1121H1425H1004H1H3947H2677H4294H4519H3947H515915on the east side of the Jordan River, across from Jericho toward the sunrise."H8147H4294H2677H4294H3947H5159H5676H3383H3405H6924H421716And the LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H55917"Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun are the men designated to divide the grants of land among the people.H8034H582H5157H776H499H3548H3091H1121H512618Enlist one leader from each tribe to help them with the task.H3947H259H5387H4294H5157H776H515719These are the tribes and the names of the leaders: Judah Caleb son of JephunnehH8034H582H4294H3063H3612H1121H331220Simeon Shemuel son of AmmihudH4294H1121H8095H8050H1121H598921Benjamin Elidad son of KislonH4294H1144H449H1121H369222Dan Bukki son of JogliH5387H4294H1121H1835H1231H1121H302023Manasseh son of Joseph Hanniel son of EphodH5387H1121H3130H4294H1121H4519H2592H1121H64124Ephraim son of Joseph Kemuel son of ShiphtanH5387H4294H1121H669H7055H1121H820425Zebulun Elizaphan son of ParnachH5387H4294H1121H2074H469H1121H653526Issachar Paltiel son of AzzanH5387H4294H1121H3485H6409H1121H582127Asher Ahihud son of ShelomiH5387H4294H1121H836H282H1121H801528Naphtali Pedahel son of AmmihudH5387H4294H1121H5321H6300H1121H598929These are the men the LORD has appointed to divide the grants of land in Canaan among the Israelites."H3068H6680H5157H1121H3478H776H3667

35While Israel was camped beside the Jordan on the plains of Moab across from Jericho, the LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H6160H4124H3383H3405H559 2"Command the people of Israel to give to the Levites from their property certain towns to live in, along with the surrounding pasturelands.H6680H1121H3478H5414H3881H5159H272H5892H3427H5414H3881H4054H5892H5439 3These towns will be for the Levites to live in, and the surrounding lands will provide pasture for their cattle, flocks, and other livestock.H5892H3427H4054H929H7399H2416 4The pastureland assigned to the Levites around these towns will extend 1,500 feet from the town walls in every direction.H4054H5892H5414H3881H7023H5892H2351H505H520H5439 5Measure off 3,000 feet outside the town walls in every direction—east, south, west, north—with the town at the center. This area will serve as the larger pastureland for the towns.H4058H2351H5892H6924H6285H505H520H5045H6285H505H520H3220H6285H505H520H6828H6285H505H520H5892H8432H4054H5892 6"Six of the towns you give the Levites will be cities of refuge, where a person who has accidentally killed someone can flee for safety. In addition, give them forty-two other towns.H5892H5414H3881H8337H5892H4733H5414H7523H5127H5414H705H8147H5892 7In all, forty-eight towns with the surrounding pastureland will be given to the Levites.H5892H5414H3881H705H8083H5892H4054 8These towns will come from the property of the people of Israel. The larger tribes will give more towns to the Levites, while the smaller tribes will give fewer. Each tribe will give property in proportion to the size of its land."H5892H5414H272H1121H3478H7227H7235H4592H4591H376H5414H5892H3881H6310H5159H5157 9The LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H559 10"Give the following instructions to the people of Israel."When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,H1696H1121H3478H559H5674H3383H776H3667 11designate cities of refuge to which people can flee if they have killed someone accidentally.H7136H5892H5892H4733H7523H5127H5221H5315H7684 12These cities will be places of protection from a dead person's relatives who want to avenge the death. The slayer must not be put to death before being tried by the community.H5892H4733H1350H7523H4191H5975H6440H5712H4941 13Designate six cities of refuge for yourselves,H5892H5414H8337H5892H4733 14three on the east side of the Jordan River and three on the west in the land of Canaan.H5414H7969H5892H5676H3383H7969H5892H5414H776H3667H5892H4733 15These cities are for the protection of Israelites, foreigners living among you, and traveling merchants. Anyone who accidentally kills someone may flee there for safety.H8337H5892H4733H1121H3478H1616H8453H8432H5221H5315H7684H5127 16"But if someone strikes and kills another person with a piece of iron, it is murder, and the murderer must be executed.H5221H3627H1270H4191H7523H7523H4191H4191 17Or if someone with a stone in his hand strikes and kills another person, it is murder, and the murderer must be put to death.H5221H3027H68H4191H4191H7523H7523H4191H4191 18Or if someone strikes and kills another person with a wooden object, it is murder, and the murderer must be put to death.H5221H3027H3627H6086H4191H4191H7523H7523H4191H4191 19The victim's nearest relative is responsible for putting the murderer to death. When they meet, the avenger must put the murderer to death.H1350H1818H4191H7523H6293H1931H4191 20So if someone hates another person and pushes him or throws a dangerous object at him and he dies, it is murder.H1920H8135H7993H6660H4191 21Or if someone hates another person and hits him with a fist and he dies, it is murder. In such cases, the avenger must put the murderer to death when they meet.H342H5221H3027H4191H5221H4191H4191H7523H1350H1818H4191H7523H6293 22"But suppose someone pushes another person without having shown previous hostility, or throws something that unintentionally hits another person,H1920H6621H3808H342H7993H3627H6660 23or accidentally drops a huge stone on someone, though they were not enemies, and the person dies.H68H4191H7200H3808H5307H4191H341H1245H7451 24If this should happen, the community must follow these regulations in making a judgment between the slayer and the avenger, the victim's nearest relative.H5712H8199H5221H1350H1818H4941 25The community must protect the slayer from the avenger and must escort the slayer back to live in the city of refuge to which he fled. There he must remain until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the sacred oil.H5712H5337H7523H3027H1350H1818H5712H7725H5892H4733H5127H3427H4194H1419H3548H4886H6944H8081 26"But if the slayer ever leaves the limits of the city of refuge,H7523H3318H3318H1366H5892H4733H5127 27and the avenger finds him outside the city and kills him, it will not be considered murder.H1350H1818H4672H2351H1366H5892H4733H1350H1818H7523H7523H1818 28The slayer should have stayed inside the city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest, the slayer may return to his own property.H3427H5892H4733H4194H1419H3548H310H4194H1419H3548H7523H7725H776H272 29These are legal requirements for you to observe from generation to generation, wherever you may live.H2708H4941H1755H4186 30"All murderers must be put to death, but only if evidence is presented by more than one witness. No one may be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.H5221H5315H7523H7523H6310H5707H259H5707H6030H5315H4191 31Also, you must never accept a ransom payment for the life of someone judged guilty of murder and subject to execution; murderers must always be put to death.H3947H3724H5315H7523H7563H4191H4191H4191 32And never accept a ransom payment from someone who has fled to a city of refuge, allowing a slayer to return to his property before the death of the high priest.H3947H3724H5127H5892H4733H7725H3427H776H4194H3548 33This will ensure that the land where you live will not be polluted, for murder pollutes the land. And no sacrifice except the execution of the murderer can purify the land from murder.H2610H776H1818H2610H776H776H3722H1818H8210H1818H8210 34You must not defile the land where you live, for I live there myself.
