Dual PanelThe Journey from Egypt to Moab
1The following account gives the names of the places where the Israelites set up camp after they left Egypt in their tribes under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.
2At the command of the LORD, Moses wrote down the name of the place each time they set up camp.
3The people of Israel left Egypt on the fifteenth day of the first month of the year, the day after the first Passover. Under the LORD's protection they left the city of Rameses in full view of the Egyptians,
4who were burying the first-born sons that the LORD had killed. By doing this, the LORD showed that he was more powerful than the gods of Egypt.
5The people of Israel left Rameses and set up camp at Sukkoth.
6Their next camp was at Etham on the edge of the desert.
7From there they turned back to Pi Hahiroth, east of Baal Zephon, and camped near Migdol.
8They left Pi Hahiroth and passed through the Red Sea into the desert of Shur; after a three days' march they camped at Marah.
9From there they went to Elim, where they camped, because there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees there.
10They left Elim and camped near the Gulf of Suez.
11Their next camp was in the desert of Sin.
12Then they camped at Dophkah,
13and after that at Alush.
14Next was Rephidim, where there was no water for them to drink.
15From Rephidim to Mount Hor they set up camp at the following places: the Sinai Desert, Kibroth Hattaavah (or “Graves of Craving”), Hazeroth, Rithmah, Rimmon Perez, Libnah, Rissah, Kehelathah, Mount Shepher, Haradah, Makheloth, Tahath, Terah, Mithkah, Hashmonah, Moseroth, Bene Jaakan, Hor Haggidgad, Jotbathah, Abronah, Eziongeber, the wilderness of Zin (that is, Kadesh), and Mount Hor, at the edge of the land of Edom.

Instructions before Crossing the Jordan
50There in the plains of Moab across the Jordan from Jericho the LORD gave Moses
51the following instructions for Israel: “When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
52you must drive out all the inhabitants of the land. Destroy all their stone and metal idols and all their places of worship.
53Occupy the land and settle in it, because I am giving it to you.
54Divide the land among the various tribes and clans by drawing lots, giving a large piece of property to a large clan and a small one to a small clan.
55But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those that are left will be as troublesome as splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they will fight against you.
56If you do not drive them out, I will destroy you, as I planned to destroy them.”
