And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who was dwelling in the Negev in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

And they journeyed from Mount Hor and encamped at Zalmonah.

And they journeyed from Zalmonah and encamped at Punon.

And they journeyed from Punon and encamped at Oboth.

And they journeyed from Oboth and encamped at Iye-abarim on the border of Moab.

And they journeyed from Iyim and encamped at 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 the Abarim before Nebo.

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

And they encamped beside the Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.

Then Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,

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

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

And you shall take possession of the land and dwell in it, for to you I have given the land to possess it.

And you shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the larger you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that shall be his. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers.

But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those whom you let remain of them will become as splinters in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you are dwelling.

And just as I thought to do to them, so will I do to you.

Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Command the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to its borders.

And your southern section shall be from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall begin from the end of the Salt Sea on the east.
