At the LORD's command Aaron the priest went up Mount Hor, and there he died, in the fortieth year after the Israelites came out of Egypt, on the first day of the fifth month.

There on the plains of Moab they camped along the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth to Abel-shittim.
"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

Take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess.
You shall apportion the land by lot according to your clans: give a larger inheritance to a larger clan and a smaller one to a smaller clan. Whatever falls to anyone by lot shall be his. You shall divide it according to your ancestral tribes.
But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land where you live,
