1 Ovo su postaje Izraelaca što ih prijeđoše kad iziđoše iz zemlje egipatske u svojim četama pod vodstvom Mojsijevim i Aronovim.

2 Na zapovijed Jahvinu Mojsije je bilježio polazne točke njihova putovanja. Ovo su njihove postaje prema njihovim polaznim točkama.

3 Iz Ramsesa krenuše u prvome mjesecu. Bio je petnaesti dan prvoga mjeseca - sutradan poslije Pashe - kad se Izraelci zaputiše uzdignutih pesnica i naočigled sviju Egipćana,

4 dok su Egipćani pokopavali one koje je Jahve između njih pobio, to jest sve prvorođence, i tako nad njihovim božanstvima izvršio pravdu.

5 Krenu dakle Izraelci iz Ramsesa i utabore se u Sukotu.

6 Zatim odu iz Sukota i utabore se u Etamu, baš na rubu pustinje.

7 Pođu iz Etama, a onda okrenu prema Pi Hahirotu, koji se nalazi nasuprot Baal Sefona. Tabore postave pred Migdolom.

9 Zatim odu iz Mare i stignu u Elim. U Elimu je bilo dvanaest izvor-voda i sedamdeset palma. Tu su se utaborili.

13 Otišavši iz Dofke, utabore se u Alušu.

37 Iz Kadeša krenu te se utabore na brdu Horu, na granici zemlje edomske.

38 Na zapovijed Jahvinu svećenik se Aron pope na brdo Hor i tu umre na prvi dan petoga mjeseca, u četrdesetoj godini nakon izlaska Izraelaca iz egipatske zemlje.

39 Aronu je bilo stotinu dvadeset i tri godine kad je preminuo na brdu Horu.

40 Aradski kralj, Kanaanac, koji je živio u kanaanskom kraju Negebu, čuo je o dolasku Izraelaca.

48 Odu s Abarimskih bregova i utabore se na Moapskim poljanama, uz Jordan, nasuprot Jerihonu;

49 taborovali su uz Jordan od Bet Haješimota sve do Abel Hašitima na Moapskim poljanama.

50 Na Moapskim poljanama uz Jordan, nasuprot Jerihonu, Jahve reče Mojsiju:

51 "Ovako reci Izraelcima: 'Kad prijeđete preko Jordana u zemlju kanaansku,

52 potjerajte ispred sebe sve stanovnike te zemlje, uništite sve njihove slike; uništite sve njihove salivene kumire i sve njihove uzvišice porušite.

53 Onda zaposjednite zemlju i u njoj se nastanite, jer sam vam je predao da je zaposjednete.

54 Zemlju razdijelite kockom među svoje rodove. Brojnijem povećajte dio, a manjem smanjite. Gdje god kocka padne, bilo za koga, neka je to njegovo, a prema otačkim plemenima dijelite im baštinu.

55 Ako stanovnike zemlje ispred sebe ne potjerate, onda će oni koje od njih na životu ostavite biti trnje u vašim očima i bodljike u vašim bokovima; dosađivat će vam u zemlji u kojoj budete živjeli

56 i postupit ću s vama kako sam mislio postupiti s njima.'"

560. And there were stings in their tails.- That this signifies the craftiness of deceiving by means of them, is evident from the signification of stings, as denoting their craftiness and shrewdness in persuasion on behalf of falsities, therefore it follows, that there was in them the power of hurting men, for he who deceives by craft and shrewdness is specially injurious. Stings were in their tails, because they deceive by means of scientifics sensually perceived, both by means of scientifics from the Word, and scientifics (scientifica) from the world on which human erudition is based. They deceive by means of scientifics from the Word, by explaining it sensually according to the letter, and not according to its interior sense; and by means of scientifics from the world, by using them for confirmation. It must be observed, that sensual men are more crafty and shrewd than others, and consequently in shrewdly deceiving. For as spiritual men are intelligent and prudent, so those who are sensual and in falsities are cunning and crafty, because in evil resides all cunning, and in good, all intelligence.

[2] It is believed in the world, that the crafty and shrewd, are also prudent and intelligent; but craftiness and cunning are not prudence and intelligence, but, in themselves, are insanity and folly. For such persons cut themselves off from eternal happiness, and cast themselves into eternal unhappiness, which is an evidence not of prudence and intelligence, but of insanity and folly. Moreover, all things pertaining to heavenly and angelic wisdom are with such in dense darkness, and where that wisdom is thick darkness, there is folly. That sensual men are crafty and shrewd, is evident from those who are in hell, where all are merely natural and sensual; in these there is so much craftiness and shrewdness as can scarcely be believed by any one; as may be seen in Heaven and Hell 576-581), where the cunning and wicked arts of the infernal spirits are treated of.

[3] That stings signify craftiness, is evident without confirmation from the Word, for in common discourse the crafty devices in speech by which men are deceived are called stings, and the discourse itself is called keen. But stings specifically signify interior falsities, which are such that they cannot be shaken off, because they arise from the scientifics and fallacies of the senses. That these falsities are signified by stings is evident from representatives in the spiritual world. Interior falsities are there represented in various ways by things of a sharp nature, as by the sharp points of swords, by darts, and by pointed things in various forms, and this when the intention is to hurt. For this reason also it is there forbidden to exhibit such things to view, for spirits, at the sight of such things, become furious with a desire of hurting.

[4] These falsities are also signified by stings in Amos:

"Behold the days shall come upon you, in which they will draw you out with stings, and your posterity with fishhooks" (4:2).

By drawing them out with stings is signified to lead them away from truths by scientifics from the Word and the world falsely applied; and to draw away their posterity with fishhooks signifies to do the same thing, by means of the fallacies of the senses, from which the sensual man reasons.

[5] And in Moses:

"If ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, those which ye let remain of them shall be thorns in your eyes, and stings in your sides" (Num. 33:55).

The inhabitants of the land whom they were to expel, signify the evils and falsities of religion, and of doctrine, for these were signified in the abstract sense by the nations of the land of Canaan. Therefore by their being thorns in their eyes, is signified the injury that would be done to the truths of the church by pernicious falsities, and by their being stings in their sides, is signified the injury that would be done by pernicious falsities to the goods of the church. Eyes in the Word, signify the understanding of truth, and sides the things of charity, consequently goods.
