Numbers 8

Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Switch Version:

¹ So Moses gave to them, to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, the king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan, the land with its cities and territories, the cities of the surrounding land.

² The sons of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,

³ Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,

⁴ Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fortified (walled) cities, and sheepfolds for sheep.

⁵ The sons of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,

⁶ Nebo, and Baal-meon (their names being changed) and Sibmah; and they gave other names to the cities which they built.

⁷ The sons of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and took it, and drove out the Amorites who were in it.

⁸ So Moses gave Gilead to [the tribe of] Machir the son of Manasseh, and they settled in it.

⁹ [The sons of] Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its towns (tent villages) and called them Havvoth-jair.

¹⁰ Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah after his own name.

¹¹ These are the stages of the journeys of the Israelites, by which they came out of the land of Egypt by their [tribal] armies, under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.

¹² Moses recorded their points of departure, as the LORD commanded, stage by stage; and these are their journeys according to their points of departure:

¹³ They set out from Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Passover the Israelites moved out triumphantly in the sight of all the Egyptians,

¹⁴ while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn whom the LORD had struck down among them. Upon their gods the LORD also executed judgments.

¹⁵ Then the Israelites moved out from Rameses [where they had all joined together], and camped in Succoth.

¹⁶ They moved out from Succoth and camped in Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness.

¹⁷ They moved out from Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, east of Baal-zephon, and they camped before Migdol.

¹⁸ They moved out from before Pi-hahiroth and passed through the midst of the [Red] Sea into the wilderness; and they went a three days' journey in the Wilderness of Etham and camped at Marah.

¹⁹ They moved out from Marah and came to Elim; in Elim there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there.

²⁰ They moved out from Elim and camped by the Red Sea (Sea of Reeds).

²¹ They moved out from the Red Sea and camped in the Wilderness of Sin.

²² They moved out from the Wilderness of Sin and camped at Dophkah.

²³ They moved out from Dophkah and camped at Alush.

²⁴ They moved out from Alush and camped at Rephidim; now it was there that the people had no water to drink.

²⁵ They moved out from Rephidim and camped in the Wilderness of Sinai [where they remained for about a year].

²⁶ They moved out from the Wilderness of Sinai and camped at Kibroth-hattaavah.
