אלה מסעי. כאשר חנו בני ישראל בערבות מואב וישבו שם חדשים עד שבנו הערים הנזכרים ולא זזו משם כי אם אחרי מות אהרן כתב משה כל המסעים: THESE ARE THE STAGES. Moses recorded all the journeys of the Israelites when the children of Israel camped in the plains of Moab1Verse 48. and stayed there for a number of months, until the afore-mentioned cities2The cities mentioned in Num. 32:33-42. were built. They did not move from there until Aaron died.3This appears to be an error, for Aaron died at Mount Hor before Israel came to the plains of Moab. See Num. 20:22-29. The proper reading should be, until Moses died.
