These are the journeys of the Beni Israel who came out from Mizraim by their hosts, after the miracles had been wrought for them by the hand of Mosheh and Aharon.
And Mosheh recorded their outgoings by their journeys by the Word of the Lord; and these are their journeys by their goings forth.
They departed from Pelusin in the month of Nisan, on the fifteenth day of the month; after they had eaten the sacrifice of the Pascha did the children of Israel go forth, with uncovered head, in sight of all the Mizraee.
And the Mizraee buried those whom the Lord had killed among them, even all the first-born; and upon their idols did the Word of the Lord do judgments; their molten idols were dissolved, their idols of stone were mutilated, their idols of earthenware broken in pieces, their wooden idols turned to ashes, and their cattle gods were slain with death.
And the sons of Israel went forth from Pelusin, and encamped in Sukkoth, a place where they were protected by seven glorious clouds.
And they removed from Sukkoth, and encamped in Etham, on the side of the wilderness.
They removed from Etham, and returned unto Pumey Hiratha, which lie in front of the idol of Zephon, and encamped before Migdol.
And from the caravansaries of Hiratha they removed, and passed through the midst of the sea, and went upon the shore of the sea, collecting onyx stones and pearls. Afterwards they proceeded three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah.
And they removed from Marah, and came to Elim; in Elim were twelve fountains of water for the twelve tribes, and seventy palm trees, answering to the seventy sages; and they encamped there by the waters.
And they removed from Elim, and camped on the banks of the Sea of Suph;
and they removed from the banks of the sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin;
thence to Dopheka,
Kerak Takiph (the strong tower),
Rephidim, where, because their hands were (raphin) neglectful of the words of the law, there was no water for the people to drink;
thence to the wilderness of Sinai;
thence to the Graves of those who desired flesh;
thence to Hazeroth, where Miriam the prophetess was struck, with leprosy;
thence to Rithema, the place of many juniper trees;
thence to Rumana, whose fruit is hard;
thence to Libnah, whose borders are built of bricks (Iibnetha);
thence to Beth Rissa;
thence to Kehelath, where Korach and his companions banded together against Mosheh and Aharon;
thence to the mountain whose fruit is good;
thence to Harada, where they were confounded by the evil plague;
thence to Makheloth, the place of congregation;
thence to the lower Makheloth;
thence to Tharach,
and Muka, whose waters were sweet;
thence to Hasmona;
thence to Meredotha, the place of rebellion (or chastisement);
thence to Bere-Haktha,
Gudgad, at the Rocks,
Jotebath, a good and quiet place;
thence to the Fords;
thence to Tarnegolla, the tower of the cock;
thence to the wilderness of Zin; at the Iron Mount, which is Rekem;
thence to Mount Umano, on the borders of the Land of Edom.
And Aharon the priest went up to Mount Umano by the Word of the Lord, and died there, in the fortieth year from the going out of the children of Israel from Mizraim, in the fifth month, on the first of the month.
And Aharon was one hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Umano.
And Amalek the wicked, who was combined with the Kenaanites, and reigned in Arad,-the house of his abode was in the land of the south,-heard that the sons of Israel were coming to wage war against them, and utterly to destroy their cities.
And they removed from Mount Umano, and encamped in Zalmona, a place of thorns, and narrow (or squalid), in the land of the Edomaee; and there the soul of the people was distressed on account of the way;
thence to Punon, where the Lord sent burning serpents among them, and their cry went up to heaven.
And they removed to Oboth;
thence to the passage of the Fords, on the border of the Moabaee;
thence to Dibon, the place of fortune;
thence to Almon Diblathaimah, where the well was hidden from them, because they had forsaken the words of the law, which are as delicious as figs (diblatha);
thence to the Mount Ibraee, in front of the place of the burial of Mosheh;
thence they removed and encamped in the fields of Moab, by Jordan, near Jericho;
and they encamped by the Jordan, from Bethjeshimon unto the plain of Sillan in the fields of Moab.
And the Lord spake with Mosheh, in the fields of Moab, at the Jordan, by Jericho, saying:
Speak with the sons of Israel, and say to them: When you have passed over the Jordan into the land of Kenaan,
you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the country from before you, and lay waste all the houses of their worship, destroy all their molten images, and overthrow all their high places.
And you shall drive out the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein, for I have given you the land to possess it.
And you shall inherit the land by lots, according to your families; to the tribe whose people are many you shall enlarge, and to the tribe whose people are few, you shall diminish. According to the place where one's lot falleth, there shall his place be; you shall inherit by the tribes of your fathers.
But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, it will be that the residue whom you have spared looking at you with an evil eye will surround you as shields (terisin) on your sides, and afflict you in the land wherein you dwell;
and it shall be that as I had thought to do to them I will do to you.
