Chapter. 7 The knowledgyng of sinne. 8 The cleansyng of sinne. 12 The lawe of gelousie. A   

1   &rhand; And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:

2   Commaunde the children of Israel that they ^note put out of the hoast euery leper, and euery one that hath an issue, ∧ whosoeuer is defiled by the dead:

3   Both male and female shal ye put out, euen out of the hoast shall ye put them, that they defile not their ^note tentes, among which I dwell.

4   And the children of Israel dyd so, and put them out of the hoast: euen as the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, so dyd the children of Israel.

5   And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:

6   Speake vnto the children of Israel: When a man or woman shall commit any sinne that men c&obar;mit, and trespasse agaynst the Lorde: when that person shall trespasse, B   

7   Then they shall knowledge their sinne which they haue done, and let hym restore againe the hurt that he hath done, with his principall, and put the fift part of it more therto, and geue it vnto hym whom he hath trespassed agaynst.

8   But and if the man haue no ^note kinseman to restore the hurt vnto, let the trespasse be made good vnto the Lorde, and it shalbe the priestes, beside the Ramme of the attonement, wherby an attonement shalbe made for hym.

9   And euery heaue offering that is made of the holy thynges of the children of Israel which they bring vnto the priest, shalbe his.

10   And euery mans halowed thynges shalbe his: whatsoeuer any man geueth the priest, it shalbe his.

11   And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:

12   Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them: If any mans wyfe go aside, and trespasse agaynst hym,

13   So that another man lye with her fleshly, and it be hid from the eyes of her husbande, and is kept close that she is defyled, and there is no witnesse against her, neither she taken with the maner,

14   And the spirite of gelousie commeth vpon hym, so that he is gelous ouer his wyfe which is defyled: or if the spirite of gelousie come vpon hym, so that he is gelous ouer his wyfe which is yet vndefyled:

15   Then let the man bring his wyfe vnto the priest, and bring her offeryng with her, the tenth part of an ^note Epha of barly meale: but let hym put no oyle vpon it, nor put frankensence theron, for it is an offeryng of gelousie, an offeryng for a remembraunce, causyng the sinne to be thought vpon.

16   And the priest shall bryng her, and set her before the Lorde.

17   And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and of the dust that is in the floore of the tabernacle, the priest shal take it, and put it into þe; water.

18   And let the priest set the woman before the Lorde, and vncouer the womans head, and put the offering of memoriall in her handes, which is the gelousie offeryng: and the priest shall haue bytter and cursed water in his hande.

19   And the priest shall charge her by an othe, and say vnto the woman: If no man haue lyen with thee, neither hast gone aside to vncleannesse without thy husbande, then haue thou no harme of this bitter and cursed waters.

20   But and if thou hast gone aside from thyne husbande, and art defiled, and some man hath lyen with thee beside thyne husbande:

Offeringes.

21   (Then þe; priest shal charge the woman with an othe of cursing, ∧ the priest shall say vnto the woman) the Lorde make thee accursed and detestable for the othe among the people, when the Lord doth make thy thigh to rot, ∧ thy belly swell.

22   These cursed waters go into the bowels of thee, that they may make thy belly swell, and thy thigh to rotte. And let the woman say, Amen amen. D   

23   And let the priest write these curses in a booke, and shall blot them out with the bitter waters:

24   And geue the woman those bitter and cursed waters to drinke, þt; those cursed and bitter waters may enter into her.

25   And then the priest shall take the gelousie offeryng out of the womans hande, and waue it before the Lorde, and bryng it vnto the aulter.

26   And the priest shall take an handfull of the offeryng for a memoriall, ∧ burne it vpon the aulter, and then make the woman drynke the waters:

27   And when he hath made the woman drynke the waters, if she be defiled and haue trespassed agaynst her husbande, then shall the cursed and bytter waters go into her, and her belly shal swell, and her thigh shall rotte: and the woman shalbe a curse among her people.

28   And yf the woman be not defiled, but is cleane, she shall haue no harme, but shall conceaue and beare.

29   This is the lawe of gelousie, when a wyfe goeth aside from her husbande, and is defiled:

30   Or when the spirit of gelousie c&obar;meth vpon a man, and he beyng gelous ouer his wyfe, doth bryng her before þe; Lord: And the priest shall do to her accordyng vnto all this lawe,

31   And the man shalbe giltlesse, and this woman shall beare her sinne. &lhand; ¶2; The .vi. Chapter. 2 The lawe of the consecration of the Nazarites. 24 The blessyng of the people. A   

1   &rhand; And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:

2   Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them: Wh&ebar; either man or woman doth seperate them selues to vowe a vowe of ^note a Nazarite, to seperate them selues vnto the Lorde:

3   He shall seperate him selfe from wine and strong drynke, and shall drynke no vineger of wine or of strong drinke, nor shall drinke whatsoeuer is pressed out of grapes, and shall eate no freshe grapes, neither yet dried.

4   As long as his abstinence endureth, shall he eate nothyng that is made of the vine tree, or of the cornels, or of the huske of the grape.

5   And as long as he voweth and is seperated, there shall not rasure come vpon his head, vntyll his dayes be out in the which he seperateth hym selfe vnto the Lorde, he shalbe holy, and shall let the lockes of his heere growe. B   

6   As long as he seperateth hym selfe vnto the Lorde, he shall come at no dead body.

7   He shall not make hym selfe vncleane at the death of his father, mother, brother, or sister: because that the consecration of his God is vpon his head,

8   All the dayes of his seperation, he is holy vnto the Lorde.

9   And if any man dye sodenly before him, or he be ware, the head of his consecration shalbe defiled: ^note and he shall shaue his head the day of his cleansyng, euen the seuenth day shall he shaue it.

10   And the eyght day he shall bryng two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, before the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation.

11   And the priest shall offer the one for a sinne offeryng, and the other for a burnt offeryng: and make an attonement for hym as concernyng that he sinned by the dead, and shall halowe his head the same day.

12   And he shall consecrate vnto the Lord the tyme of his seperation, ∧ shall bring a lambe of a yere olde for a trespasse offeryng: but the dayes that were before are lost, because his consecration was defiled.

13   This is the lawe of the Nazarite: when the tyme of his consecration is out, he shalbe brought vnto the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation:

14   And he shall bryng his offeryng vnto the Lorde, an hee lambe of a yere olde without blemishe for a burnt offeryng,

Ceremonies. and a shee lambe of a yere olde without blemishe for a sinne offering, ∧ a ramme without blemishe also for peace offerynges,

15   And a basket of vnleauened bread, euen cakes of fine floure mingled with oyle, and wafers of vnleauened bread annoynted with oyle, with their meate offerynges and drynke offerynges.

16   And the priest shall bryng them before the Lorde, and offer his sinne offeryng and his burnt offeryng.

17   And shall prepare the ramme for a peace offering vnto the Lorde, with the basket of vnleauened bread: and the priest shall make also his meat offeryng and his drynke offeryng.

18   And the Nazarite shal shaue the head of his consecration at the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shal take the heere of the head of his consecration, and put it in the fire which is vnder the peace offeryng.

19   And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ramme, and one vnleauened cake out of the basket, and one vnleauened wafer also, and put them vpon the handes of the Nazarite, after he hath shauen his consecration. D   

20   And the priest shall waue them before the Lorde: And these holy thynges shalbe the priestes, with the waue brest and the heaue shoulder: and then the Nazarite may drynke wine.

21   This is the lawe of the Nazarite which hath vowed his offeryng vnto the Lorde for his consecration, besides those thynges that his hande can get: according to the vowe which he vowed, euen so he must do after the lawe of his consecration.

22   And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:

23   Speake vnto Aaron and his sonnes, saying: On this wyse ye shall blesse the chyldren of Israel, and say vnto them:

24   The Lorde blesse thee, and kepe thee:

25   The Lorde make his face shine vpon thee, and be mercyfull vnto thee:

26   The Lorde lyft vp his countenaunce vpon thee, and geue thee peace.

27   And they shall put my name vpon the chyldren of Israel, and I wyll blesse them. &lhand; ¶2; The .vij. Chapter. 2 The offeryng of the lordes and heades of Israel. 89 God speaketh from the mercie seate to Moyses. A   

1   &rhand; And when ^note Moyses had full set vp the tabernacle, ∧ annoynted and sanctified it, and all the instrumentes therof, the aulter also ∧ all the vessels therof: and had annoynted them ∧ sanctified them.

3   And brought their sacrifice before the Lorde, sixe couered charettes, ∧ twelue oxen: one charet for two lordes, and for one an oxe, and they brought them before the tabernacle.

4   And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:

5   Take it of them, that they may be to do the seruice of the tabernacle of the congregation, and thou shalt geue them vnto the Leuites, to euery man accordyng vnto his office.

6   And Moyses toke the charettes and the oxen, ∧ gaue them vnto the Leuites.

7   Two charettes and foure oxen he gaue vnto the sonnes of Gerson, accordyng vnto their office.

8   And foure charettes ∧ eyght oxen he gaue vnto the sonnes of Merari, according vnto their offices, vnder þe; hande of Ithamar the sonne of Aaron the priest.

8   And Moyses sayd vnto them: Stande styll, and I wyll heare what the Lorde wyll commaunde concernyng you.

9   And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:

12   Let them leaue none of it vnto the morning, ^note nor breake any bone of it: But accordyng to all the ordinaunce of the Passouer, let them kepe it. C   

13   But the man that is cleane, and is not in a iourney, and yet was negligent to kepe the Passouer: the same soule shalbe cut of from his people, because he brought not the offeryng of the Lorde in his due season, that man shall beare his sinne.

18   At the mouth of the Lorde the childr&ebar; of Israel iourneyed, and at the mouth of the Lorde they pitched: And as long as the cloude abode vpon the tabernacle, they lay styll: D   

19   And when the cloude taryed styll vpon the tabernacle long tyme, the children of Israel kept the watche of the Lorde, and iourneyed not.

20   And when the cloude abode a fewe dayes vpon the tabernacle, they abode in their tentes, accordyng to the commaundement of the Lorde: and they iourneyed also at the commaundement of the Lorde.

21   And when the cloude abode vpon the tabernacle from euen vnto the mornyng, ∧ was taken vp in the mornyng, then they iourneyed: Whether it was by day or by nyght that the cloude was taken vp, they iourneyed.

22   Or if the cloude taryed two dayes, or a moneth, or a yere vpon the tabernacle and remayned theron, the children of Israel remayned styll and iourneyed not: And assoone as the cloude was taken vp, they iourneyed.

3   And when they shal blowe with them, all the multitude shall resort to thee before the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation.

4   And if they blowe but one trumpet, then the princes which are heades ouer the thousandes of Israel shall come vnto thee.

5   But if ye blowe an alarme, the hoastes that lye on the east partes shall go forwarde.

6   And if ye blowe the alarme the second tyme, the hoast that lyeth on the south side shall take their iourney: for they shall blowe an alarme when they take their iourneyes.

7   But when the congregation is to be gathered together, they shall blowe without an alarme.

8   And the sonnes of Aaron the priestes shall blowe with their trumpettes, and ye shall haue them as a lawe for euer in your generations.

9   And if ye go to warre in your lande agaynst your enemies that vexe you, ye shall blowe an alarme with the trumpettes, and ye shalbe remembred before the Lorde your God, to be saued from your enemies. B   

10   Also in the day of your gladnesse, and in your feast dayes, ∧ in the begynnyng of your monethes, ye shall blowe the trumpettes ouer your burnt sacrifices and peace offerynges, that they may be a remembraunce for you before your God: I am the Lorde your God.

11   And it came to passe the twentith day of the seconde moneth in the seconde yere, that the cloude was taken vp from of the tabernacle of the testimonie.

12   And the children of Israel toke their iourney out of the desert of Sinai, and the cloude rested in the wildernesse of Pharan.

28   These are the iourneys of the chyldren of Israel throughout their armies, and thus the hoastes remoued.

29   And Moyses sayde vnto Hobab the sonne of Raguel the Madiamte, which was Moyses father in lawe: We go vnto the place of whiche the Lorde sayde, I wyll geue it you. Come thou therefore with vs, and we wyll do thee good: for the Lorde hath promised good vnto Israel.

30   And he aunswered hym: I wyll not go, but wyl depart to mine owne lande, and to my kinred.

31   He said: Oh nay, leaue vs not, for thou knowest our mansions in the wyldernesse, and thou mayest be to vs in steade of eyes.

32   And if thou go with vs, looke what goodnesse the Lorde sheweth vnto vs, the same wyll we shewe vnto thee.

33   And they departed from the mount of the Lorde three dayes iourney, and the arke of the couenaunt of the Lorde went before them in þe; three dayes iourney, to search out a resting place for th&ebar;.

34   And the cloude of the Lorde was vppon them by day, when they went out of the campe.

35   And when þe; arke went foorth, Moyses sayde: ^note Rise vp Lorde, and let thine enemies be scattered, and let them that hate thee, flee before thee.

36   And when the arke rested, he sayde: Returne O Lord, vnto the many thousandes of Israel. ‘ &lhand; ¶2; The .xj. Chapter. 1 The people murmureth. 4 They desire fleshe. 6 They lothe Manna. 11 The wauering fayth of Moyses. 16 The Lorde deuideth the burthen of Moyses to seuentie of the auncientes, and they prophesie. 31 It raigneth quayles. 33 The fleshe raueners are punished. A   

1   And when ^note the people dyd wickedly, it was a displeasure in the eares of the Lorde: And when the Lorde hearde it, his countenaunce was prouoked to wrath, and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were the vttermost of the hoast.

2   And the people cryed vnto Moyses: And when Moyses made intercession vnto the Lorde, the fire quenched.

3   And he called the name of the place Taberah, because the fire of the Lorde burnt among them.

4   And a number of people that was among them fell a lustyng, and turned them selues, and wept (euen as dyd also the chyldren of Israel) and sayd: who shall geue vs fleshe to eate?

5   We remember the fishe which we did eate in Egypt for naught, ∧ the cucumbers, ∧ melons, leekes, onions ∧ garleck.

6   But now our soule is dryed away: for we can see nothing els, saue Manna.

9   And when the deawe fell downe vpon the hoast in the nyght, the Manna fell vpon it.

10   And when Moyses hearde the people weepe throughout their housholdes, euery man in the doore of his tent, the wrath of the Lord was kindeled exceedingly, and it greeued Moyses also.

11   And Moyses sayde vnto the Lorde: Wherefore hast thou dealt cruelly with thy seruaunt? And wherefore haue I not founde fauour in thy sight, seyng that thou puttest the wayght of all this people vpon me?

12   Haue I conceaued all this people? Or haue I begotten them, that thou shouldest say vnto me, Cary them in thy bosome as a nurse beareth the suckyng chylde, vnto the lande which thou swarest vnto their fathers?

13   Where shoulde I haue fleshe to geue vnto all this people, whiche weepe before me, saying: Geue vs fleshe that we may eate. C   

14   I am not able to beare all this people alone, seyng it is to heauie for me.

15   If thou deale thus with me, kyll me I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in thy sight, þt; I see not my wretchednesse.

16   And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: ^note Gather vnto me threscore and ten men of the elders of Israel, which thou knowest that they are the elders of the people ∧ officers ouer them: and thou shalt bryng them vnto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stande there with thee:

17   And I wyll come downe, and talke with thee there, and take of the spirite which is vpon thee, and put vpon them, and they shall beare the burthen of the people with thee, lest thou be constrayned to beare it alone.

18   And say thou vnto the ^note people, Be halowed agaynst to morowe, and ye shall eate fleshe: for your whyning is in the eares of the Lorde, seyng ye sayd, Who shall geue vs fleshe to eate? we were happy in Egypt: Therefore the Lorde wyll geue you fleshe, and ye shall eate.

19   Ye shall not eate one day nor two, nor fiue dayes, neither ten, nor twentie dayes:

20   But euen a moneth long, vntill it come out at the nostrels of you, and it shalbe lothsome vnto you, because that ye haue cast the Lorde aside whiche is among you, and haue wept before hym, saying: Why came we thus out of Egypt? D   

21   And Moyses sayde: ^note Sixe hundred thousand footemen are there of the people, among which I am: And thou hast sayd, I wyll geue them flesh, that they may eate a moneth long.

22   Shall the sheepe ∧ the oxen be slayne for them, to finde them? either shall all the fishe of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffise them?

23   And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Shall ^note the Lordes hande be waxed short? Thou shalt see now whether my word shal come to passe vnto thee or not.

24   And Moyses went out, and tolde the people the saying of the Lorde: and gathered the threscore and ten elders of the people, and set them rounde about the tabernacle.

25   And the Lord came downe in a cloude, and spake vnto him, and toke of the spirite that was vpon him, and gaue it vnto the threscore ∧ ten elders: And when the spirite rested vpon them, they prophesied, and dyd not ceasse.

26   But there remayned two of the men in the hoast, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: And the spirite rested vpon them, (and thei were of them that were written, and went not out vnto the tabernacle) and they prophesied in the hoast.

27   And there ran a young man, and tolde Moyses, and sayd: Eldad and Medad do prophesie in the hoast. E   

28   And Iosuah the sonne of Nun the seruaunt of Moyses, one of his young men aunswered, and sayde: My lorde Moyses, ^note forbyd them.

29   And Moyses sayd vnto hym: Enuiest thou for my sake? ^note woulde God that all the Lordes people could prophesie, and that the Lorde woulde put his spirite vpon them.

30   And Moyses gate hym into the hoast, he and the elders of Israel.

31   And there went foorth a wynde from the Lorde, and ^note brought quayles from the sea, ∧ let them fall about the hoast, euen a dayes iourney rounde about on euery side of the hoast, and [they did flee in the ayre] as it were two cubites hye ouer the earth.

32   And the people stoode vp all that day, and all that nyght, and all the next day, and they gathered quayles: And he that gathered litle, gathered ten homers ful: And they spread them abrode for their vse, rounde about the hoast.

33    ^noteAnd whyle the fleshe was yet betweene their teeth, ∧ yer it was chewed vp, the wrath of the Lorde was kindled against the people, ∧ the Lorde ^note smote the people with an exceedyng great plague.

34   And he called the name of the place, The graues of lust: because the buried the people that lusted there.

35   And the people toke their ^note iourney from the graues of lust vnto Hazeroth, and abode at Hazeroth. ¶2; The .xij. Chapter. 1 Aaron and Miriam grudge agaynst Moyses. 10 Miriam is strycken with leprosie, and healed at the prayer of Moyses. A   

1   And ^note Miriam and Aaron spake agaynst Moyses, because of the women of Ethiopia whiche he had taken: for he had tak&ebar; to wife one of Ethiopia.

2   And they sayde: Hath the Lorde in deede spoken onlye through Moyses? Hath he not spoken also by vs? And the Lorde hearde it.

3   (But Moyses was a very ^note meeke man, aboue all the men of the earth.)

4   And the Lorde spake at once vnto Moyses, vnto Aaron, and to Miriam: Come out ye three vnto ^note the tabernacle of the congregation. And they came out all three.

5   And the Lorde came downe in the ^note pyller of the cloude, and stoode in the doore of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they went out both of them.

6   And he sayde, Heare my wordes: If there be a prophete of the Lordes among you, I wyll be knowen of him in a vision, and wyll speake vnto hym in a dreame. B   

7   My seruaunt Moyses is not so, which is faythfull in all myne house.

8   Unto hym wyll I speake ^note mouth to mouth in a vision, not in darke speaches and similitudes of the Lord shall he see: Wherfore then were ye not afrayde to speake against my seruaunt Moyses?

9   And the Lord was moued vnto wrath agaynst them, and he went his way.

10    ^noteAnd the cloude departed from the tabernacle, and beholde Miriam was become leprous, as it were snowe: And Aaron looked vpon Miriam, and beholde, she was leprous.

11   And Aaron saide vnto Moyses: Alas my Lorde, I beseche thee put not the sinne vpon vs whiche we haue foolishlye committed and sinned.

12   Oh, let her not be as one dead, of wh&obar; the fleshe is halfe consumed when he commeth out of his mothers whom.

13   And Moyses cryed vnto the Lorde, saying: Heale her nowe, O God, I beseche thee. C   

14   And þe; Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: If her father had ^note spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seu&ebar; dayes? Let her be shut out of the hoast seuen dayes, and after that, let her be receaued in againe.

15   And Miriam was shut out of the hoast seuen dayes: and the people remoued not, tyll she was brought in agayne.

16    ^noteAnd afterwarde the people remoued from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wyldernesse of Pharan. ¶2; The .xiij.
