Its primary content is an exhaustive list of the forty-odd campsite stations the Israelites occupied during their journey from Ramesses in Egypt to the plains of Moab opposite Jericho, presented as a record Moses wrote down by divine command. The passage notes the departure date (the fifteenth day of the first month, the day after Passover) and includes the death of Aaron at Mount Hor in the fortieth year of the exodus, at the age of 123. The list's relentless, formulaic repetition (\"they departed from X and encamped at Y\") gives the text the character of an official register or chronicle rather than a narrative, emphasizing the scope and orderly providence of the journey. It concludes with a striking shift in register: God commands Moses to instruct the Israelites to exterminate the inhabitants of Canaan, destroy their cult objects and standing stones, and divide the land by tribal lot \u2014 warning that any inhabitants left alive will become \"thorns in your eyes and spears in your sides.\" The text is notable for combining dry administrative enumeration with a theologically charged conquest mandate, presenting territorial displacement as divine inheritance.","tags":["Book of Amos","Greek Old Testament","Septuagint"],"text":null,"title":"Septuagint: Numbers: Numbers Chapter 33","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":840}
