Numbers 33 · Parashat Masei

These are the journeys of the children of Yisra᾽el, who went out of the land of Miżrayim with their armies under the hand of Moshe and Aharon.

And Moshe wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the Lord: and these are their journeys according to their goings out.

And they departed from Ra῾meses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Yisra᾽el went out with a high hand in the sight of all Miżrayim.

And Miżrayim was burying all their firstborn, whom the Lord had smitten among them: upon their gods also the Lord executed judgments.

And the children of Yisra᾽el removed from Ra῾meses, and pitched in Sukkot.

And they departed from Sukkot, and pitched in Etam, which is in the edge of the wilderness.

And they removed from Etam, and turned back to Pi-haĥirot, which is before Ba῾al-żefon: and they pitched before Migdol.

And they departed from before Pi-haĥirot, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etam and pitched in Mara.

And they removed from Mara, and came to Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees; and they pitched there.

And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Sea of Suf.

And they removed from ῾Eżyon-gever, and pitched in the wilderness of Żin, which is Qadesh.

And they removed from Qadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.

And Aharon the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the Lord, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Yisra᾽el were come out of the land of Miżrayim, in the first day of the fifth month.

And Aharon was a hundred and twenty three years old when he died in mount Hor.

And the Kena῾anite king of ῾Arad, who dwelt in the Negev in the land of Kena῾an, heard of the coming of the children of Yisra᾽el.

And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Żalmona.

And they departed from Żalmona, and pitched in Punon.

And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Ovot.

And they departed from Ovot, and pitched in ῾Iyye-ha῾avarim, in the border of Mo᾽av.

And they removed from ῾Almon-divlatayema, and pitched in the mountains of ῾Avarim, before Nevo.

And they departed from the mountains of ῾Avarim, and pitched in the plains of Mo᾽av by Yarden near Yereĥo.

And they pitched by the Yarden, from Bet-hayeshimot to Avel-hashshittim in the plains of Mo᾽av.

And the Lord spoke to Moshe in the plains of Mo᾽av by the Yarden near Yereĥo, saying,

Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, When you pass over the Yarden into the land of Kena῾an;

then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured pavements, and destroy all their molten images, and devastate all their high places:

and you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell in it: for I have given you the land to possess it.

And you shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance: every man’s inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falls; according to the tribes of your fathers you shall inherit.

But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those whom you allow to remain of them shall be as thorns in your eyes, and stings in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein you dwell.

Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do to you, as I thought to do to them.
