CAP. XVII.
1 And the Lord spak to Moises, and seide,
Speke thou to Aaron,
2 and to hise sones,
-- --
and to alle the sones of Israel, and seie
thou to hem, This is the word which the
Lord comaundide,
3 and seide, Ech man of
the hows of Israel schal be gilti of blood,
if he sleeth an oxe note, ether a scheep, ethir
a geet in the castels, ethir out of the castels,
4 and offrith not an offryng to the
Lord at the dore of the tabernacle; as he
schedde mannus blood, so he schal perische
fro the myddis of his puple.
5 Therfor the
sones of Israel owen to offre her sacrifices
to the preest, whiche thei sleen in the feeld,
that tho be halewid to the Lord, bifor the
dore of the tabernacle of witnessyng, and
that thei offre tho pesible sacrifices to the
Lord.
6 And the preest schal schede the
blood on the auter of the Lord, at the
dore of the tabernacle of witnessyng; and
he schal brenne the ynnere fatnesse in
to odour of swetnesse to the Lord.
7 And
thei schulen no more offre her sacrifices
to fendis, with whiche thei diden fornycacioun;
it schal be a lawful thing euerlastynge
to hem, and to the aftircomeris
`of hem.
8 And thou schalt seie to hem, A
man of the hows of Israel, and of the
comelyngis that ben pilgryms among &yogh;ou,
that offrith a brent sacrifice, ethir a slayn
sacrifice,
9 and bryngith it not to the dore
of the tabernacle of witnessyng, that it be
offrid to the Lord, schal perische fro his
puple.
10 If ony man of the sones of Israel,
and of comelyngis that ben pilgryms
among &yogh;ou, etith blood note, Y schal sette
faste my face a&yogh;ens `the soule of hym,
and Y schal leese hym fro his puple;
11 for
the lijf of fleisch is in blood, and Y &yogh;af
that blood to &yogh;ou, that &yogh;e clense on myn
auter `for &yogh;oure soulis, and that the blood
be for the synne of soule.
12 Therfor Y
seide to the sones of Israel, Ech lyuynge
man of &yogh;ou schal not ete blood, nethir of
the comelyngis that ben pilgryms among
-- --
&yogh;ou.
13 What euer man of the sones of Israel,
and of the comelyngis that ben pilgryms
anentis &yogh;ou, takith a wielde beeste, ethir
a brid, whiche it is leueful to ete, whether
bi huntyng, whether bi haukyng, schede
the blood therof, and hile it with erthe;
14 for the lijf of ech fleisch is in blood.
Wherfor Y seide to the sones of Israel, &YOGH;e
schulen not ete the blood of ony fleisch,
for the lijf of fleisch is in blood, and who
euer etith blood, schal perische.
15 A man
that etith a thing deed note bi it silf, ethir
takun of a beeste, as wel of men borun
in the lond, as of comelyngis, he schal
waische hise clothis and hym silf in watir,
and he schal be `defoulid til to euentid;
and by this ordre he schal be maad cleene;
that if he waischith not his clothis,
16 ether
his bodi, he schal bere his wickidnesse.
