The Wilderness Years

And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibon-gad.

And they remooued from Dibon-gad, and lay in Almon-diblathaim.

And they remooued from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the mountaines of Abarim before Nebo.

And they departed from the mountaines of Abarim, and pitched in the plaine of Moab, by Iorden toward Iericho.

And they pitched by Iorden, from Bethieshimoth vnto Abel-shittim in the playne of Moab.

And the Lord spake vnto Moses in the playne of Moab, by Iorden towarde Iericho, saying,

Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye are come ouer Iorden to enter into the land of Canaan,

Ye shall then driue out all the inhabitants of the land before you, and destroy all their pictures, and breake asunder all their images of metall, and plucke downe all their hie places.

And ye shall possesse the lande and dwell therein: for I haue giue you ye land to possesse it.

And ye shall inherite the land by lot according to your families: to the more yee shall giue more inheritance, and to the fewer the lesse inheritance. Where the lot shall fall to any man, that shall be his: according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye inherite.

But if ye will not driue out the inhabitants of the land before you, then those which yee let ramaine of them, shalbe prickes in your eyes, and thornes in your sides, and shall vexe you in the land wherein ye dwell.

Moreouer, it shall come to passe, that I shall doe vnto you, as I thought to do vnto them.

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

Commande the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When yee come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall vnto your inheritance: that is, the land of Canaan with the coastes thereof.

And your Southquarter shalbe from the wildernesse of Zin to the borders of Edom: so that your Southquarter shall be from the salt Sea coast Eastwarde:

And the border shall compasse you from the South to Maaleh-akrabbim, and reach to Zin, and goe out from the South to Kadesh-barnea: thence it shall stretch to Hazar-addar, and go along to Azmon.

And the border shall compasse from Azmon vnto the riuer of Egypt, and shall goe out to the Sea.

And your Westquarter shall bee the great Sea: euen that border shalbe your Westcoast.

And this shall bee your Northquarter: yee shall marke out your border from the great Sea vnto mount Hor.

From mount Hor ye shall point out till it come vnto Hamath, and the end of the coast shall be at Zedad.

And the coast shall reach out to Ziphron, and goe out at Hazar-enan. this shalbe your Northquarter.

And ye shall marke out your Eastquarter from Hazar-enan to Shepham.

And the coast shall goe downe from Shepham to Riblah, and from the Eastside of Ain: and the same border shall descend and goe out at the side of the sea of Chinneereth Eastward.

Also that border shall goe downe to Iorden, and leaue at the salt Sea. this shalbe your land with the coastes thereof round about.

Then Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the lande which yee shall inherite by lot, which the Lord commanded to giue vnto nine tribes and halfe the tribe.
