Chapter 33

Stages of Israel’s Journey.[a] These are the journeys of the people of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the leadership of Moses and Aaron. At the command of the Lord, Moses recorded the stages of their journeys. These are their journeys by stages: the people of Israel left Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month, the day after Passover. They went out triumphantly in the sight of the Egyptians. This was while the Egyptians were burying their firstborn whom the Lord had slain. The Lord also executed judgment upon their gods.

The people of Israel set out from Rameses, and they camped in Succoth. They set out from Succoth and they camped in Etham, which is on the fringes of the desert. They left Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, to the east of Baal-zephon. They camped near Migdol. They left Pi-hahiroth and crossed over through the midst of the sea into the desert. They traveled for three days in the Desert of Etham, camping in Marah. They left Marah and came to Elim. There are twelve springs and seventy palm trees there, so they camped there. 10 They left Elim and camped by the Red Sea.

11 They left the Red Sea and camped in the Desert of Sin. 12 They left the Desert of Sin and camped in Dophkah. 13 They left Dophkah and camped in Alush. 14 They left Alush and camped in Rephidim. (There was no water there for the people to drink.) 15 They left Rephidim and camped in the Sinai Desert. 16 They left the Sinai Desert and camped in Kibroth-hattaavah. 17 They left Kibroth-hattaavah and camped in Hazeroth. 18 They left Hazeroth and camped in Rithmah. 19 They left Rithmah and camped in Rimmon-perez. 20 They left Rimmon-perez and camped in Libnah. 21 They left Libnah and camped in Rissah. 22 They left Rissah and camped in Kehelathah. 23 They left Kehelathah and camped at Mount Shepher. 24 They left Mount Shepher and camped in Haradah. 25 They left Haradah and camped in Makheloth. 26 They left Makheloth and camped in Tahath. 27 They left Tahath and camped in Terah. 28 They left Terah and camped in Mithkah. 29 They left Mithkah and camped in Hashmonah. 30 They left Hashmonah and camped in Moseroth. 31 They left Moseroth and camped in Bene-jaakan. 32 They left Bene-jaakan and camped in Hor-haggidgad. 33 They left Hor-haggidgad and camped in Jotbathah. 34 They left Jotbathah and camped in Abronah. 35 They left Abronah and camped in Ezion-geber.[b] 36 They left Ezion-geber and camped in Kadesh, which is in the Desert of Zin. 37 They left Kadesh and camped at Mount Hor, on the border of Edom.

38 Then Aaron the priest went up Mount Hor following the Lord’s command. He died there in the fortieth year after the people of Israel came out 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 The Canaanite king of Arad who dwelt in the Negeb in the land of Canaan heard that the people of Israel were coming.

41 They left Mount Hor and camped in Zalmonah. 42 They left Zalmonah and camped in Punon. 43 They left Punon and camped in Oboth. 44 They left Punon and camped in Iye-abarim on the border of Moab. 45 They left Iye-abarim, and camped in Dibon-gad. 46 They left Dibon-gad and camped in Almon-diblathaim. 47 They left Almon-diblathaim and camped in the mountains of Abarim near Nebo. 48 They left the mountains of Abarim and camped in the plain of Moab near the Jordan, across from Jericho. 49 There on the plain of Moab they camped near the Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth to Abel-shittim.

50 Possession and Division of Canaan. On the plain of Moab near the Jordan, across from Jericho, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 51 “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan 52 drive out the inhabitants of the land before you. Destroy all of their carved images[c] and all of their cast idols. Demolish all of their high places. 53 Take possession of the land and live in it, for I have given you the land to possess. 54 Distribute the land by lot among your families. Give a larger inheritance to those that are larger and a smaller inheritance to those that are smaller. Wherever the lot falls, give it to them. Distribute it according to your ancestral tribes. 55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, then those whom you leave will become splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land in which you dwell.’ ”

Chapter 33

Stages of the Journey. The following are the stages by which the Israelites went out by companies from the land of Egypt under the guidance of Moses and Aaron.[a] Moses recorded the starting points of the various stages at the direction of the Lord. These are the stages according to their starting points: They set out from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the day after the Passover the Israelites went forth in triumph, in view of all Egypt, while the Egyptians buried those whom the Lord had struck down, every firstborn; on their gods, too, the Lord executed judgments.(A)

From Egypt to Sinai. Setting out from Rameses, the Israelites camped at Succoth. Setting out from Succoth, they camped at Etham near the edge of the wilderness. Setting out from Etham, they turned back to Pi-hahiroth, which is opposite Baal-zephon, and they camped opposite Migdol.(B) Setting out from Pi-hahiroth, they crossed over through the sea into the wilderness,(C) and after they traveled a three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham, they camped at Marah. Setting out from Marah, they came to Elim; at Elim there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there.(D) 10 Setting out from Elim, they camped beside the Red Sea. 11 Setting out from the Red Sea, they camped in the wilderness of Sin. 12 Setting out from the wilderness of Sin, they camped at Dophkah. 13 Setting out from Dophkah, they camped at Alush. 14 Setting out from Alush, they camped at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.(E) 15 Setting out from Rephidim, they camped in the wilderness of Sinai.(F)

From Sinai to Kadesh. 16 Setting out from the wilderness of Sinai, they camped at Kibroth-hattaavah. 17 Setting out from Kibroth-hattaavah, they camped at Hazeroth.(G) 18 Setting out from Hazeroth, they camped at Rithmah. 19 Setting out from Rithmah, they camped at Rimmon-perez. 20 Setting out from Rimmon-perez, they camped at Libnah. 21 Setting out from Libnah, they camped at Rissah. 22 Setting out from Rissah, they camped at Kehelathah. 23 Setting out from Kehelathah, they camped at Mount Shepher. 24 Setting out from Mount Shepher, they camped at Haradah. 25 Setting out from Haradah, they camped at Makheloth. 26 Setting out from Makheloth, they camped at Tahath. 27 Setting out from Tahath, they camped at Terah. 28 Setting out from Terah, they camped at Mithkah. 29 Setting out from Mithkah, they camped at Hashmonah. 30 [b]Setting out from Hashmonah, they camped at Moseroth. 31 Setting out from Moseroth, they camped at Bene-jaakan. 32 Setting out from Bene-jaakan, they camped at Mount Gidgad. 33 Setting out from Mount Gidgad, they camped at Jotbathah. 34 Setting out from Jotbathah, they camped at Abronah. 35 Setting out from Abronah, they camped at Ezion-geber.[c] 36 Setting out from Ezion-geber, they camped in the wilderness of Zin, that is, Kadesh.(H)

From Kadesh to the Plains of Moab. 37 Setting out from Kadesh, they camped at Mount Hor on the border of the land of Edom.

38 Aaron the priest ascended Mount Hor(I) at the Lord’s direction, and there he died in the fortieth year after the departure of the Israelites from the land of Egypt, on the first day of the fifth month. 39 Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor.

40 [d]When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who ruled over the Negeb in the land of Canaan, heard that the Israelites were coming….

41 [e]Setting out from Mount Hor, they camped at Zalmonah. 42 Setting out from Zalmonah, they camped at Punon. 43 Setting out from Punon, they camped at Oboth. 44 Setting out from Oboth, they camped at Iye-abarim on the border of Moab. 45 Setting out from Iye-abarim, they camped at Dibon-gad. 46 Setting out from Dibon-gad, they camped at Almon-diblathaim. 47 Setting out from Almon-diblathaim, they camped in the Abarim range opposite Nebo. 48 Setting out from the Abarim range, they camped on the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho. 49 They camped by the Jordan on the plains of Moab extended from Beth-jeshimoth to Abel-shittim.

Conquest and Division of Canaan. 50 The Lord spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho: 51 Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you go across the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52 dispossess all the inhabitants of the land before you; destroy all their stone figures, destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places.(J)

53 You will take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess. 54 You will apportion the land among yourselves by lot, clan by clan, assigning a large heritage to a large clan and a small heritage to a small clan.(K) Wherever anyone’s lot falls, there will his possession be; you will apportion these shares within your ancestral tribe.

55 But if you do not dispossess the inhabitants of the land before you, those whom you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they will harass you in the land where you live,(L) 56 and I will treat you as I had intended to treat them.

  1. 33:1–3 According to v. 2, this list of camping sites was drawn up by Moses as an itinerary recording Israel’s trek through the wilderness. Comparison with the more detailed accounts of the journey as given elsewhere suggests that the list is not necessarily comprehensive. It records just forty camping sites, not counting the starting place, Rameses, and the terminus, the plains of Moab. This number, which corresponds exactly to the forty years of wandering in the wilderness, is probably a schematic device. Moreover, it seems that in its present form the order of some of the names here has been disturbed. Several names listed here are not recorded elsewhere.
  2. 33:30–36 Moseroth is mentioned in Dt 10:6 (in the form of “Moserah”) as the place where Aaron died, apparently a variant of the tradition here in v. 38 regarding the place of Aaron’s death; so also Nm 20:22–24 and Dt 32:50. Perhaps Moseroth was close to Mount Hor.
  3. 33:35 Ezion-geber: Solomon conducted sea trade with Ophir from this port (1 Kgs 9:26), today probably identified on the northern coast of the Gulf of Elath between the Jordanian city of Aqabah and the Israeli city of Elath.
  4. 33:40 The verse repeats almost verbatim the same introduction to the account of the victory over Arad as is given in 21:1–3, where it also follows the account of Aaron’s death. Perhaps the isolated verse here is intended by the editor(s) of Numbers to point the reader to the fuller account given there.
  5. 33:41b–49 It seems that this section stood originally immediately after v. 36a.

De Ramsés al Jordán

33 Estas son las jornadas de los israelitas, que salieron de la tierra de Egipto por sus ejércitos, bajo la dirección de Moisés y Aarón(A). Moisés anotó los puntos de partida según sus jornadas, por el mandamiento del Señor, y estas son sus jornadas, conforme a sus puntos de partida. El mes primero salieron de Ramsés(B) el día quince del mes primero; el día después de la Pascua, los israelitas marcharon con mano poderosa a la vista de todos los egipcios(C), mientras los egipcios sepultaban a todos sus primogénitos, a quienes el Señor había herido entre ellos. El Señor también había ejecutado juicios contra sus dioses(D).

Entonces los israelitas salieron de Ramsés y acamparon en Sucot(E). Salieron de Sucot y acamparon en Etam, que está en el extremo del desierto(F). Salieron de Etam, se volvieron a Pi Hahirot, frente a Baal Zefón, y acamparon delante de Migdol(G). Salieron de delante de Hahirot y cruzaron por en medio del mar hasta el desierto(H); y anduvieron tres días en el desierto de Etam y acamparon en Mara(I). Salieron de Mara y llegaron a Elim; y en Elim había doce fuentes de agua y setenta palmeras; y acamparon allí(J). 10 Salieron de Elim y acamparon junto al mar Rojo.

11 Salieron del mar Rojo y acamparon en el desierto de Sin(K). 12 Salieron del desierto de Sin y acamparon en Dofca. 13 Salieron de Dofca y acamparon en Alús. 14 Salieron de Alús y acamparon en Refidim; allí fue donde el pueblo no tuvo agua para beber(L). 15 Salieron de Refidim y acamparon en el desierto de Sinaí(M). 16 Salieron del desierto de Sinaí y acamparon en Kibrot Hataava(N).

17 Salieron de Kibrot Hataava y acamparon en Hazerot(O). 18 Salieron de Hazerot y acamparon en Ritma. 19 Salieron de Ritma y acamparon en Rimón Peres. 20 Salieron de Rimón Peres y acamparon en Libna(P). 21 Salieron de Libna y acamparon en Rissa. 22 Salieron de Rissa y acamparon en Ceelata.

23 Salieron de Ceelata y acamparon en el monte Sefer. 24 Salieron del monte Sefer y acamparon en Harada. 25 Salieron de Harada y acamparon en Macelot. 26 Salieron de Macelot y acamparon en Tahat. 27 Salieron de Tahat y acamparon en Tara. 28 Salieron de Tara y acamparon en Mitca.

29 Salieron de Mitca y acamparon en Hasmona. 30 Salieron de Hasmona y acamparon en Moserot(Q). 31 Salieron de Moserot y acamparon en Bene Jaacán. 32 Salieron de Bene Jaacán(R) y acamparon en Hor Haggidgad[a]. 33 Salieron de Hor Haggidgad y acamparon en Jotbata(S).

34 Salieron de Jotbata y acamparon en Abrona. 35 Salieron de Abrona y acamparon en Ezión Geber(T). 36 Salieron de Ezión Geber y acamparon en el desierto de Zin, esto es, Cades(U). 37 Salieron de Cades y acamparon en el monte Hor(V), al extremo de la tierra de Edom(W).

38 Entonces el sacerdote Aarón subió al monte Hor por mandato del Señor, y allí murió(X), el año cuarenta después que los israelitas habían salido de la tierra de Egipto, el primer día del mes quinto. 39 Aarón tenía 123 años de edad cuando murió en el monte Hor.

40 Y el cananeo, el rey de Arad que habitaba en el Neguev[b], en la tierra de Canaán, oyó de la llegada de los israelitas(Y).

41 Entonces partieron del monte Hor y acamparon en Zalmona. 42 Salieron de Zalmona y acamparon en Punón. 43 Salieron de Punón y acamparon en Obot(Z). 44 Salieron de Obot y acamparon en Ije Abarim, en la frontera con Moab. 45 Salieron de Ije Abarim y acamparon en Dibón Gad. 46 Salieron de Dibón Gad y acamparon en Almón Diblataim. 47 Salieron de Almón Diblataim y acamparon en los montes de Abarim(AA), frente a Nebo. 48 Partieron de los montes de Abarim y acamparon en las llanuras de Moab, junto al Jordán, frente a Jericó(AB). 49 Y acamparon junto al Jordán, desde Bet Jesimot hasta Abel Sitim(AC), en las llanuras de Moab.

50 Entonces el Señor habló a Moisés en las llanuras de Moab, junto al Jordán, frente a Jericó: 51 «Habla a los israelitas, y diles: “Cuando crucen el Jordán a la tierra de Canaán(AD), 52 expulsarán a todos los habitantes de la tierra delante de ustedes, y destruirán todas sus piedras grabadas, y destruirán todas sus imágenes fundidas, y demolerán todos sus lugares altos(AE); 53 y tomarán posesión de la tierra y habitarán en ella(AF), porque les he dado la tierra para que la posean. 54 Heredarán la tierra por sorteo, por sus familias; a las más grandes darán más heredad, y a las más pequeñas darán menos heredad. Donde la suerte caiga a cada uno, eso será suyo. Heredarán conforme a las tribus de sus padres(AG). 55 Pero si no expulsan de delante de ustedes a los habitantes de la tierra, entonces sucederá que los que de ellos dejen serán como aguijones en sus ojos y como espinas en sus costados(AH), y los hostigarán en la tierra en que habiten. 56 Y sucederá que como pensaba hacerles a ellos, así les haré a ustedes”».

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.
