33:8a As in many Hebrew manuscripts, Samaritan Pentateuch,

read left from in front of Hahiroth. 33:8b Hebrew the
sea. 33:10 Hebrew sea of reeds; also in 33:11. 33:11 The

37 They
left Kadesh and camped at Mount Hor,
at the border of Edom. 38 While they were
at the foot of Mount Hor, Aaron the priest
was directed by the Lord to go up the
mountain, and there he died. This happened
in midsummer, on the first day of the fifth
month* of the fortieth year after Israel’s
departure from Egypt. 39 Aaron was 123 years
old when he died there on Mount Hor.

50 While they were camped near the Jordan
River on the plains of Moab opposite Jericho,
the Lord said to Moses, 51 “Give the following
instructions to the people of Israel: When you
cross the Jordan River into the land of Canaan,
52 you must drive out all the people living there.
You must destroy all their carved and molten
images and demolish all their pagan shrines.
53 Take possession of the land and settle in it, because I have given it to you to occupy. 54 You must

and a smaller portion will be allotted to each of
