the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD and
died there, even in the fortieth year, after the children of Israel
were come out of the land of Egypt, and in the first day of the fifth
month. And Aaron was an hundred and thirty three years old when he died
in mount Hor. And king Erad the Cananite which dwelt in the south of
the land of Canaan, heard that the children of Israel were come. And
they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmona. And they departed
from Zalmona, and pitched in Phimon, and they departed from Phimon, and
pitched in Oboth. And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Igim
Abarim {Iehabarim} in the borders of Moab. And they departed from Igim,
{Iehabarim} and pitched in Dibon Gad. And they removed from Dibon Gad,
and lay in Almon Diblathama. And they removed from Almon Diblathama,
and pitched in the mountains of Abarim before Nibo. And they departed
from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the fields of Moab fast by
Iordan nye to Iericho. And they pitched upon Iordan, from Beth
Haiesmoth unto the plain of Sitim {Abelsatim} in the fields of Moab.
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the fields of Moab by Iordan nye unto
Iericho, saying: speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them:
when ye are come over Iordan into the land of Canaan, see that ye drive
out all the inhabiters of the land before you, and destroy their
imaginations {chapels} and all their Images of Metal, and pluck down
all their altars built on hills: And possess the land and dwell
therein, for I have given you the land to enjoy it. And ye shall divide
the inheritance of the land by lot among your kindreds, and give to the
more the more inheritance, and to the fewer the less inheritance. And
your inheritance shall be in the tribes of your fathers, in the place
where every man's lot falleth. But and if ye will not drive out the
inhabiters of the land before you, then these {those} which ye let
remain of them, shall be thorns in your eyes and darts in your sides,
and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell. Moreover it will come
to pass, that I shall do unto you as I thought to do unto them.
