This chapter presents a review of Israel’s 40-year journey from the old slavery of Egypt to the new freedom of Canaan.
From the many events of that generation, a few are highlighted:
- The exodus began after the first passover (Numbers 33:3-4)
- The crossing of the Red Sea (Numbers 33:8)
- The oasis of Elim (Numbers 33:9)
- The lack of water at Rephidim (Numbers 33:14)
- The death of Aaron in the 40th year of their wandering (Numbers 33:38-39)
- The notice that a Canaanite king takes of the approaching nation (Numbers 33:40)
- The encampment near Jericho and God’s charge to take the land (Numbers 33:50-56)
- drive out all the inhabitants of the land (Numbers 33:52)
- destroy all their pictures, images and high places
- dispossess the inhabitants of the land (Numbers 33:53)
- dwell in the land that I have given you
- divide the land by lot (Numbers 33:54)
- do not fail to obey, or I will do to you as I thought to do to them (Numbers 33:55-56)

51Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
52Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
53And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
54And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
55But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
56Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
