Números 33
Traducción en lenguaje actual
El recorrido de los israelitas
33 1-50 El día quince del mes de Abib,[a] un día después de la Pascua, los israelitas salieron triunfalmente de Egipto, ante la mirada de todos los egipcios. Ese mismo día, los egipcios estaban enterrando a sus hijos mayores, pues Dios les había quitado la vida para castigar a los dioses de Egipto.
Los israelitas marcharon por el camino como un ejército bien organizado, bajo las órdenes de Moisés y de Aarón. Dios le mandó a Moisés que hiciera una lista de todos los lugares por donde pasaran, y éstos son los lugares por donde pasaron y acamparon desde que salieron de la ciudad de Ramsés, en Egipto:
Sucot,
Etam, donde termina el desierto,
Pi-hahirot, al este de Baal-sefón,
Migdol,
el Mar de los Juncos,
el desierto de Etam,
Mará,
Elim, donde había doce fuentes de agua y setenta palmeras,
el desierto de Sin,
Dofcá,
Alús,
Refidim, donde no tuvieron agua para beber,
el desierto de Sinaí,
Quibrot-hataavá,
Haserot,
Ritmá,
Rimón-peres,
Libná,
Risá,
Quehelata,
Séfer,
Haradá,
Maquelot,
Táhat,
Térah,
Mitcá,
Hasmoná,
Moserot,
Bené-jaacán,
Hor de Guidgad,
Jotbata,
Abroná,
Esión-guéber,
Cadés,
el monte Hor, donde empieza el territorio de Edom,
Salmoná,
Punón,
Obot,
Iié-abarim, en la frontera con Moab,
Dibón-gad,
Almón-diblataim,
los montes de Abarim, al este del monte Nebo y
las llanuras de Moab.
En ese recorrido, al llegar al monte Hor, Dios le ordenó al sacerdote Aarón que subiera al monte, y allí murió Aarón, a la edad de ciento veintitrés años. Esto sucedió el primer día del mes de Ab,[b] cuarenta años después de la salida de Egipto.
También fue aquí, al llegar al monte Hor, que Arad, el rey de los cananeos, que vivía en el desierto del sur de Canaán, supo que los israelitas se acercaban a su territorio.
Las llanuras de Moab están junto al río Jordán y frente a la ciudad de Jericó. Cuando los israelitas acamparon allí, su campamento era tan grande que empezaba en Bet-jesimot y llegaba hasta Abel-sitim.
Distribución del territorio en la región de Canaán
Estando allí, en las llanuras de Moab, Dios le dijo a Moisés:
51 «Diles a los israelitas que, cuando crucen el río Jordán y entren a la región de Canaán, 52 deben echar fuera a la gente que vive allí. También deben destruir todas las figuras de piedra que adoran, las estatuas y los altares donde las adoran.
53 »Yo, su Dios, les doy esa región para que vivan en ella. Por eso deben conquistarla y quedarse a vivir allí. 54 Para repartir esa región entre los distintos grupos familiares, haz un sorteo. A las familias más grandes les darás un terreno grande; a las familias pequeñas, un terreno pequeño. El terreno que le toque a cada familia será suyo. La región se repartirá por tribus.
55 »Pero si ustedes no sacan de la región a los que viven ahora en ella, yo haré que esa gente les sea tan molesta como si tuvieran ustedes astillas en los ojos o espinas en el cuerpo. 56 Y a ustedes les haré el daño que pensaba hacerle a esa gente».

50 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
52 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
53 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
54 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

New King James Version
Israel’s Journey from Egypt Reviewed
33 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, who went out of the land of Egypt by their armies under the (A)hand of Moses and Aaron. 2 Now Moses wrote down the starting points of their journeys at the command of the Lord. And these are their journeys according to their starting points:
3 They (B)departed from Rameses in (C)the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out (D)with boldness in the sight of all the Egyptians. 4 For the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, (E)whom the Lord had killed among them. Also (F)on their gods the Lord had executed judgments.
5 (G)Then the children of Israel moved from Rameses and camped at Succoth. 6 They departed from (H)Succoth and camped at Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness. 7 (I)They moved from Etham and turned back to Pi Hahiroth, which is east of Baal Zephon; and they camped near Migdol. 8 They departed [a]from before Hahiroth and (J)passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, went three days’ journey in the Wilderness of Etham, and camped at Marah. 9 They moved from Marah and (K)came to Elim. At Elim were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees; so they camped there.
10 They moved from Elim and camped by the Red Sea. 11 They moved from the Red Sea and camped in the (L)Wilderness of Sin. 12 They journeyed from the Wilderness of Sin and camped at Dophkah. 13 They departed from Dophkah and camped at Alush. 14 They moved from Alush and camped at (M)Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.
15 They departed from Rephidim and camped in the (N)Wilderness of Sinai. 16 They moved from the Wilderness of Sinai and camped (O)at [b]Kibroth Hattaavah. 17 They departed from Kibroth Hattaavah and (P)camped at Hazeroth. 18 They departed from Hazeroth and camped at (Q)Rithmah. 19 They departed from Rithmah and camped at Rimmon Perez. 20 They departed from Rimmon Perez and camped at Libnah. 21 They moved from Libnah and camped at Rissah. 22 They journeyed from Rissah and camped at Kehelathah. 23 They went from Kehelathah and camped at Mount Shepher. 24 They moved from Mount Shepher and camped at Haradah. 25 They moved from Haradah and camped at Makheloth. 26 They moved from Makheloth and camped at Tahath. 27 They departed from Tahath and camped at Terah. 28 They moved from Terah and camped at Mithkah. 29 They went from Mithkah and camped at Hashmonah. 30 They departed from Hashmonah and (R)camped at Moseroth. 31 They departed from Moseroth and camped at Bene Jaakan. 32 They moved from (S)Bene Jaakan and (T)camped at Hor Hagidgad. 33 They went from Hor Hagidgad and camped at Jotbathah. 34 They moved from Jotbathah and camped at Abronah. 35 They departed from Abronah (U)and camped at Ezion Geber. 36 They moved from Ezion Geber and camped in the (V)Wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh. 37 They moved from (W)Kadesh and camped at Mount Hor, on the boundary of the land of Edom.
38 Then (X)Aaron the priest went up to Mount Hor at the command of the Lord, and died there in the fortieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, on the first day of the fifth month. 39 Aaron was one hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor.
40 Now (Y)the king of Arad, the Canaanite, who dwelt in the South in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
41 So they departed from Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah. 42 They departed from Zalmonah and camped at Punon. 43 They departed from Punon and (Z)camped at Oboth. 44 (AA)They departed from Oboth and camped at Ije Abarim, at the border of Moab. 45 They departed from [c]Ijim and camped (AB)at Dibon Gad. 46 They moved from Dibon Gad and camped at (AC)Almon Diblathaim. 47 They moved from Almon Diblathaim (AD)and camped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. 48 They departed from the mountains of Abarim and (AE)camped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho. 49 They camped by the Jordan, from Beth Jesimoth as far as the (AF)Abel Acacia Grove[d] in the plains of Moab.
Instructions for the Conquest of Canaan
50 Now the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho, saying, 51 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: (AG)‘When you have crossed the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52 (AH)then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their engraved stones, destroy all their molded images, and demolish all their [e]high places; 53 you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to (AI)possess. 54 And (AJ)you shall divide the land by lot as an inheritance among your families; to the larger you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller inheritance; there everyone’s inheritance shall be whatever falls to him by lot. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers. 55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall be (AK)irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land where you dwell. 56 Moreover it shall be that I will do to you as I thought to do to them.’ ”
