Numbers 33:40-56

Numbers 33:40-56 AMP

The Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev (the South country) in the land of Canaan, heard that the sons of Israel were coming. They moved out from Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah. Then they moved out from Zalmonah and camped at Punon. They moved out from Punon and camped at Oboth. They moved out from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim, on the border of Moab. They moved out from Iyim (Iye-abarim) and camped at Dibon-gad. They moved out from Dibon-gad and camped at Almon-diblathaim. They moved out from Almon-diblathaim and camped in the mountains of Abarim, before [Mount] Nebo. They moved out from the mountains of Abarim and camped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho [their last stop on the journey to Canaan]. They camped by the Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab. Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, saying, “Say to the children of Israel, ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you and destroy all their sculpted images, and destroy all their cast idols and completely eliminate all their [idolatrous] high places, and you shall take possession of the land and live in it, for I have given the land to you to possess. You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the large tribe you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the small tribe you shall give a smaller inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to any man, that shall be [the location of] his [inheritance]. According to the tribes of your fathers (ancestors) you shall inherit. But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those you let remain of them will be like pricks in your eyes and like thorns in your sides, and they will attack you in the land in which you live. And as I [the LORD] planned to do to them, so I will do to you.’ ”
