"But if you won't do so, look out! You will be sinning against the LORD. Be certain of this, that your sin will catch up to you!

Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:

but thy servants will pass over, every one armed for war, before Jehovah to battle, as my lord says.

And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben pass with you over the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;

But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.

And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.

And Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran: walled towns and shut-in places for sheep.

and Nebo, and Baal-Meon (changed in name), and Shibmah, and they call by these names the names of the cities which they have built.

And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.

and Moses giveth Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwelleth in it.

And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

These are the journeys of the children of Israel, when they went forth out of the land of Egypt by their hosts under the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Moses wrote down their movements according to their journeys on the command of Yahweh, and these [are] their journeys according to their movements.

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.

and the Egyptians are burying those whom Jehovah hath smitten among them, every first-born, and on their gods hath Jehovah done judgments --

And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.

And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.

and they journey from Etham, and turn back on Pi-Hahiroth, which is on the front of Baal-Zephon, and they encamp before Migdol.

And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.

And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.

And they went on from Elim and put up their tents by the Red Sea.

And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.

And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.

And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.

And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah.

And they journeyed from Libnah, and encamped in Rissah.

And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.

And they journeyed from Jotbathah, and encamped in Abronah.

And they journeyed from Abronah, and encamped in Ezion-geber.

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 mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.

And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.

And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab.

And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.

And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim.

And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

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;

see that ye drive out all the inhabiters of the land before you, and destroy their imaginations and all their images of metal, and pluck down all their altars built on hills:

and ye have possessed the land, and dwelt in it, for to you I have given 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.

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:)

Your southern side will be from the Wilderness of Zin along the boundary of Edom. Your southern border on the east will begin at the east end of the Dead Sea.

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 for your limit on the west you will have the Great Sea and its edge: this will be your limit on the west.

And your limit on the north will be the line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor:

from mount Hor ye mark out to go in to Hamath, and the outgoings of the border have been 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 on the east, your limit will be marked out from Hazar-enan 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:

Then the border will go down to the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea. This will be your land defined by its borders on all sides.”

So Moses commanded the {Israelites}, saying, "This [is] the land that you will obtain as an inheritance for yourself by lot, which Yahweh commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes.

for the tribe of the children of Reuben have received, in the households of their fathers; and the tribe of the children of Gad in their fathers' households; and the half 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.

“These are the names of the men who are to distribute the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.

whose names are these: in the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;

and in the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud;

and in the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon;

and in the tribe of the children of Dan, the lord Bukki the son of Jogli;

and among the children of Joseph: in the tribe of the children of Manasseh, the lord Hanniel the son of Ephod;

and in the tribe of the children of Ephraim, the lord Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;

and in the tribe of the sons of Zebulon, the lord Elizaphan the son of Parnach;

and in the tribe of the children of Issachar, the lord Paltiel the son of Azzan;

and in the tribe of the sons of Asher, the lord Ahihud the son of Shelomi;

and in the tribe of the children of Naphtali, the lord 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.

The pasturelands of the cities you are to give the Levites will extend from the city wall 500 yards on every side.

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.

[Among] the cities which you give to the Levites shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall provide for the one who commits manslaughter to flee to; and in addition to them you shall give forty-two cities [to the Levites].

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.
