These are the journeys of the children of Israel ,

And Moses 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 Rameses in the first month ,
on the fifteenth day of the first month ;
on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians .
*
For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn ,
which the LORD had smitten among them :
upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments .
*
And the children of Israel removed from Rameses ,

And they departed from Ebronah ,
and encamped at Eziongaber .
*
And they removed from Eziongaber ,
and pitched in the wilderness of Zin ,
which is Kadesh .
*
And they removed from Kadesh ,
and pitched in mount Hor ,
in the edge of the land of Edom .
*
And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD ,
and died there ,
in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt ,
in the first day of the fifth month .
*
And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor .
*
And king Arad the Canaanite ,
which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan ,
heard of the coming of the children of Israel .

*
And they departed from the mountains of Abarim ,
and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho .
*
And they pitched by Jordan ,
from Bethjesimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
and say unto them ,
When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan ;
*
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 :
*
And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land ,
and dwell therein :
for I have given you the land to possess it .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Moreover it shall come to pass ,
that I shall do unto you ,
as I thought to do unto them .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Command the children of Israel ,
and say unto them ,
When ye come into the land of Canaan ; (
this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance ,
even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof :)
*
Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom ,
and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward :
*
And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim ,
and pass on to Zin :
and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea ,
and shall go on to Hazaraddar ,
and pass on to Azmon :
*
And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt ,
and the goings out of it shall be at the sea .
*
And as for the western border ,
ye shall even have the great sea for a border :
this shall be your west border .
*
And this shall be your north border :
from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor :
*
From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath ;
and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad :
*
And the border shall go on to Ziphron ,
and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan :
this shall be your north border .
*
And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham :
*
And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah ,
on the east side of Ain ;
and the border shall descend ,
and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward :
*
And the border shall go down to Jordan ,
and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea :
this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about .
*
And Moses commanded the children of Israel ,
saying ,
This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot ,
which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes ,
and to the half tribe :
*
For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers ,
and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers ,
have received their inheritance ;
and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance :
*
The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward ,
toward the sunrising .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you :
Eleazar the priest ,
and Joshua the son of Nun .
*
And ye shall take one prince of every tribe ,
to divide the land by inheritance .
*
And the names of the men are these :
Of the tribe of Judah ,
Caleb the son of Jephunneh .
*
And of the tribe of the children of Simeon ,
Shemuel the son of Ammihud .
*
Of the tribe of Benjamin ,
Elidad the son of Chislon .
*
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan ,
Bukki the son of Jogli .
*
The prince of the children of Joseph ,
for the tribe of the children of Manasseh ,
Hanniel the son of Ephod .
*
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim ,
Kemuel the son of Shiphtan .
*
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun ,
Elizaphan the son of Parnach .
*
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar ,
Paltiel the son of Azzan .
*
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher ,
Ahihud the son of Shelomi .
*
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali ,
Pedahel the son of Ammihud .
*
These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho ,
saying ,
*
Command the children of Israel ,
that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in ;
and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them .
*
And the cities shall they have to dwell in ;
and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle ,
and for their goods ,
and for all their beasts .
*
And the suburbs of the cities ,
which ye shall give unto the Levites ,
shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about .
*
And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits ,
and on the south side two thousand cubits ,
and on the west side two thousand cubits ,
and on the north side two thousand cubits ;
and the city shall be in the midst :
this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities .
*
And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge ,
which ye shall appoint for the manslayer ,
that he may flee thither :
and to them ye shall add forty and two cities .
*
So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities :
them shall ye give with their suburbs .
*
And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel :
from them that have many ye shall give many ;
but from them that have few ye shall give few :
every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
and say unto them ,
When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan ;
*
Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you ;
that the slayer may flee thither ,
which killeth any person at unawares .
*
And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger ;
that the manslayer die not ,
until he stand before the congregation in judgment .
*
And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge .
*
Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan ,
and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan ,
which shall be cities of refuge .
*
These six cities shall be a refuge ,
both for the children of Israel ,
and for the stranger ,
and for the sojourner among them :
that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither .
*
And if he smite him with an instrument of iron ,
so that he die ,
he is a murderer :
the murderer shall surely be put to death .
*
And if he smite him with throwing a stone ,
wherewith he may die ,
and he die ,
he is a murderer :
the murderer shall surely be put to death .
*
Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood ,
wherewith he may die ,
and he die ,
he is a murderer :
the murderer shall surely be put to death .
*
The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer :
when he meeteth him ,
he shall slay him .
*
But if he thrust him of hatred ,
or hurl at him by laying of wait ,
that he die ;
*
Or in enmity smite him with his hand ,
that he die :
he that smote him shall surely be put to death ;
for he is a murderer :
the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer ,
when he meeteth him .
*
But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity ,
or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait ,
*
Or with any stone ,
wherewith a man may die ,
seeing him not ,
and cast it upon him ,
that he die ,
and was not his enemy ,
neither sought his harm :
*
Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments :
*
And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood ,
and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge ,
whither he was fled :
and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest ,
which was anointed with the holy oil .
*
But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge ,
whither he was fled ;
*
And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge ,
and the revenger of blood kill the slayer ;
he shall not be guilty of blood :
*
Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest :
but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession .
*
So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings .
*
Whoso killeth any person ,
the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses :
but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die .
*
Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer ,
which is guilty of death :
but he shall be surely put to death .
*
And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge ,
that he should come again to dwell in the land ,
until the death of the priest .
*
So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are :
for blood it defileth the land :
and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein ,
but by the blood of him that shed it .
*
Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit ,
wherein I dwell :
for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel .
*
And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead ,
the son of Machir ,
the son of Manasseh ,
of the families of the sons of Joseph ,
came near ,
and spake before Moses ,
and before the princes ,
the chief fathers of the children of Israel :
*
And they said ,
The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel :
and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters .
*
And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel ,
then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers ,
and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received :
so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance .
*
And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be ,
then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received :
so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers .
*
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD ,
saying ,
The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well .
*
This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad ,
saying ,
Let them marry to whom they think best ;
only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry .
*
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe :
for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers .
*
And every daughter ,
that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel ,
shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father ,
that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers .
*
Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe ;
but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance .
*
Even as the LORD commanded Moses ,
so did the daughters of Zelophehad :
*
For Mahlah ,
Tirzah ,
and Hoglah ,
and Milcah ,
and Noah ,
the daughters of Zelophehad ,
were married unto their father '
s brothers '
sons :
*
And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph ,
and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father .
*
These are the commandments and the judgments ,
which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho .
