Dual Panel1These are the camping sites in the journey of the People of Israel after they left Egypt, deployed militarily under the command of Moses and Aaron.
2Under GOD's instruction Moses kept a log of every time they moved, camp by camp:
3They marched out of Rameses the day after the Passover. It was the fifteenth day of the first month. They marched out heads high and confident.

48After they left the mountains of Abarim they camped on the Plains of Moab at Jordan-Jericho.
49On the Plains of Moab their camp stretched along the banks of the Jordan from Beth Jeshimoth to Abel Shittim (Acacia Meadow).
50GOD spoke to Moses on the Plains of Moab at Jordan-Jericho:
51"Tell the People of Israel, When you cross the Jordan into the country of Canaan,
52drive out the native population before you, destroy their carved idols, destroy their cast images, level their worship-mounds
53so that you take over the land and make yourself at home in it; I've given it to you. It's yours.
54"Divide up the land by lot according to the size of your clans: Large clans will get large tracts of land, small clans will get smaller tracts of land. However the lot falls, that's it. Divide it up according to your ancestral tribes.
55"But if you don't drive out the native population, everyone you let stay there will become a cinder in your eye and a splinter in your foot. They'll give you endless trouble right in your own backyards.
56And I'll start treating you the way I planned to treat them."
