The Wilderness Years

And they journeyed from Iyim, and encamped in Dibon-gad.

And they journeyed from Dibon-gad, and encamped in Almon-diblathaim.

And they journeyed from Almon-diblathaim, and encamped in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

And they journeyed from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

And they encamped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth even unto Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.

And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured stones, and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places:

and ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein; for unto you have I given the land to possess it.

And ye shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance: wheresoever the lot falleth to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye inherit.

But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then shall those that ye let remain of them be as pricks in your eyes, and as thorns in your sides, and they shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.

And it shall come to pass, that, as I thought to do unto them, so will I do unto you.

And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

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 according to the borders thereof),

then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward;

and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon;

and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be at the sea.

And for the western border, ye shall have the great sea and the borderthereof: this shall be your west border.

And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor;

from mount Hor ye shall mark out unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;

and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.

And ye shall mark out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham;

and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;

and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about.

And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which Jehovah hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe;
