And the Lorde talked with Moses saynge:
speake vnto Aar&obar; and vnto his sonnes
and vnto all the childern of Israel &abar;d saye
-- --
vnto them, this is the thynge which the Lorde
charged saynge: whatsoeuer he be of the housse
of Israel that kylleth an oxe, lambe or goote
in the hoste or out of the hoste and bryngeth
th&ebar; not vnto the dore of the tabernacle of witnesse,
to offer an offerynge vnto the Lorde before
the dwellynge place of the Lorde, bloude
shalbe imputed vnto that man / as though he
had shed bloude / and that man shall perysh
from amonge his people.
Wherfore let the childern of Israel brynge
their offerynges they offer in the wyde felde /
vnto the Lorde: euen vnto the dore of the tabernacle
of witnesse and vnto the preast / and
offer th&ebar; for peaseofferynges vnto the Lorde.
And the preast shall sprinkle the bloude apon
the alter of the Lorde in the dore of the tabernacle
of wytnesse / and burne the fatt to be a
swete sauoure vnto the Lorde. And let them
nomoare offer their offerynges vnto deuyls / after
whom thy goo an whoorynge. And this
shalbe an ordyna&ubar;ce for euer vnto you thorow
out youre generacyons.
And thou shalt saye vnto them: what soeuer
man it be of the housse of Israel or of the
straungers that sogeorne amonge you that offereth
a burntofferynge or any other offerynge
and bryngeth it not vnto the dore of the tabernacle
-- --
of wytnesse to offer vnto the Lorde, that
felow shall perysh from amonge his people.
And what soeuer man it be of the housse of
Israel or of the straungers that soiourne amonge
you that eateth any maner of bloude / I will
set my face agaynst that soule that eateth bloude,
and will destroy him from amonge his people.
for the life of the flesh is in the bloude, and
I haue geuen it vnto you apon the alter, to make
an attonement for youre soules, for bloude
shall make an attonem&ebar;t for the soule. And therfore
I sayde vnto the childern of Israel: se that
no soule of you eate bloude / nor yet any straunger
that soiourneth amonge you.
What soeuer man it be of the childern of Israel
or of the straungers that soiurne amonge
you that honteth and catcheth any beest or foule
that maye be eat&ebar;, he shall poure out the bloude
&abar;d couer it with erthe. for the life of all flesh
is in the bloude, therfore I sayde vnto the childern
of Israel, ye shall eate the bloude of no maner
of flesh. for the life of all flesh is in his bloude,
and whosoeuer therfore eateth it shall perysh.
And what soeuer soule it be that eateth
that which dyed alone or that which was torne
with wylde beestes: whether it be one of
youre selues or a straunger, he shall wasshe his
-- --
clothes &abar;d bathe him selfe in water, &abar;d shalbe
vncleane vnto the eu&ebar;, &abar;d th&abar; is he cleane. But
&abar;d yf he wasshe them not nor wasshe his flesh
he shall beare his synne.
