1 When Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go, as at ^sother times, to look for omens, but set his face toward the wilderness. 2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel ^tcamping tribe by tribe. And ^uthe Spirit of God came upon him, 3 and he ^vtook up his discourse and said,

10 And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he ⁱstruck his hands together. And Balak said to Balaam, ^j“I called you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them these three times. 11 Therefore now flee to your own place. I said, ^k‘I will certainly honor you,’ but the Lord has held you back from honor.” 12 And Balaam said to Balak, “Did I not tell your messengers whom you sent to me, 13 ^l‘If Balak should give me his house full of silver and gold, I would not be able to go beyond the word of the Lord, to do either good or bad ^mof my own will. What the Lord speaks, that will I speak’? 14 And now, behold, I am going to my people. Come, ⁿI will let you know what this people will do to your people ^oin the latter days.”

15 ^pAnd he took up his discourse and said,

20 Then he looked on Amalek and ^ytook up his discourse and said,

21 And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his discourse and said,

23 And he took up his discourse and said,

25 Then Balaam rose and ^dwent back to his place. And Balak also went his way.

1 Then drew near the daughters of ^xZelophehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, from the clans of Manasseh the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 2 And they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the chiefs and all the congregation, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying, 3 “Our father ^ydied in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the Lord ^zin the company of Korah, but ^adied for his own sin. And he had no sons. 4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from his clan because he had no son? ^bGive to us a possession among our father’s brothers.”

5 Moses ^cbrought their case before the Lord. 6 And the Lord said to Moses, 7 “The daughters of Zelophehad ^dare right. ^eYou shall give them possession of an inheritance among their father’s brothers and transfer the inheritance of their father to them. 8 And you shall speak to the people of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter. 9 And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers. 11 And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the nearest ^fkinsman of his clan, and he shall possess it. And it shall be for the people of Israel ^ga statute and rule, as the Lord commanded Moses.’”

12 The Lord said to Moses, “Go up into ^hthis mountain of Abarim and see the land that I have given to the people of Israel. 13 When you have seen it, you also ⁱshall be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was, 14 ^jbecause you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin when the congregation quarreled, failing ^kto uphold me as holy at the waters before their eyes.” (These are ^lthe waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.) 15 Moses spoke to the Lord, saying, 16 “Let the Lord, ^mthe God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation 17 who ⁿshall go out before them and come in before them, who shall lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be ^oas sheep that have no shepherd.” 18 So the Lord said to Moses, “Take ^pJoshua the son of Nun, a man ^qin whom is the Spirit, and ^rlay your hand on him. 19 Make him stand before Eleazar the priest and all the congregation, and you shall ^scommission him in their sight. 20 You shall invest him with some of your authority, ^tthat all the congregation of the people of Israel may obey. 21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him ^uby the judgment of the Urim before the Lord. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the people of Israel with him, the whole congregation.” 22 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua and made him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation, 23 and he laid his hands on him and ^scommissioned him as the Lord directed through Moses.

1 These are the stages of the people of Israel, when they went out of the land of Egypt by their companies under the leadership of Moses and Aaron. 2 Moses wrote down their starting places, ^lstage by stage, by command of the Lord, and these are their stages according to their starting places. 3 They ^mset out from Rameses in ⁿthe first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the day after the Passover, the people of Israel went out ^otriumphantly in the sight of all the Egyptians, 4 while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, ^pwhom the Lord had struck down among them. ^qOn their gods also the Lord executed judgments.

5 So the people of Israel set out from Rameses and camped at ^rSuccoth. 6 And they set out from Succoth and camped at ^sEtham, which is on the edge of the wilderness. 7 And they set out from Etham and turned back to ^tPi-hahiroth, which is east of Baal-zephon, and they camped before Migdol. 8 And they set out from before Hahiroth¹ and ^upassed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and they ^vwent a three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham and camped at Marah. 9 And they set out from Marah and came to ^wElim; at Elim there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there. 10 And they set out from Elim and camped by the Red Sea. 11 And they set out from the Red Sea and camped in ^xthe wilderness of Sin. 12 And they set out from the wilderness of Sin and camped at Dophkah. 13 And they set out from Dophkah and camped at Alush. 14 And they set out from Alush and camped at ^yRephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink. 15 And they set out from Rephidim and camped in the ^zwilderness of Sinai. 16 And they set out from the wilderness of Sinai and camped at ^aKibroth-hattaavah. 17 And they set out from Kibroth-hattaavah and camped at ^bHazeroth. 18 And they ^cset out from Hazeroth and camped at Rithmah. 19 And they set out from Rithmah and camped at Rimmon-perez. 20 And they set out from Rimmon-perez and camped at Libnah. 21 And they set out from Libnah and camped at Rissah. 22 And they set out from Rissah and camped at Kehelathah. 23 And they set out from Kehelathah and camped at Mount Shepher. 24 And they set out from Mount Shepher and camped at Haradah. 25 And they set out from Haradah and camped at Makheloth. 26 And they set out from Makheloth and camped at Tahath. 27 And they set out from Tahath and camped at Terah. 28 And they set out from Terah and camped at Mithkah. 29 And they set out from Mithkah and camped at Hashmonah. 30 And they set out from Hashmonah and camped at Moseroth. 31 And they set out from Moseroth and camped at ^dBene-jaakan. 32 And they set out from Bene-jaakan and camped at ^eHor-haggidgad. 33 And they set out from Hor-haggidgad and camped at ^eJotbathah. 34 And they set out from Jotbathah and camped at Abronah. 35 And they set out from Abronah and camped at ^fEzion-geber. 36 And they set out from Ezion-geber and camped in the ^gwilderness of Zin (that is, Kadesh). 37 And they set out from ^hKadesh and camped at ⁱMount Hor, on the edge of the land of Edom.

38 And Aaron the priest went up ^jMount Hor at the command of the Lord and died there, in the fortieth year after the people of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, on the first day of the fifth month. 39 And Aaron was ^k123 years old when he died on Mount Hor.

40 And ^lthe Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negeb in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the people of Israel.

41 And they set out from Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah. 42 And they set out from Zalmonah and camped at Punon. 43 And they set out from Punon and camped at ^mOboth. 44 And they set out from Oboth and camped at ⁿIye-abarim, in the territory of Moab. 45 And they set out from Iyim and camped at ^oDibon-gad. 46 And they set out from Dibon-gad and camped at Almon-diblathaim. 47 And they set out from Almon-diblathaim ^pand camped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. 48 And they set out from the mountains of Abarim and camped in ^qthe plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho; 49 they camped by the Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth as far as ^rAbel-shittim in the plains of Moab.

50 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 51 “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, ^sWhen you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52 then ^tyou shall drive out ^uall the inhabitants of the land from before you and destroy all their ^vfigured stones and destroy all their metal images and demolish all their high places. 53 And you shall take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it. 54 ^wYou shall inherit the land by lot according to your clans. ^xTo a large tribe you shall give a large inheritance, and to a small tribe you shall give a small inheritance. Wherever the lot falls for anyone, that shall be his. According to the tribes of your fathers you shall inherit. 55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those of them whom you let remain shall be as ^ybarbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall trouble you in the land where you dwell. 56 And I will do to you ^zas I thought to do to them.”
