But þe; Leuites were not nombred in þe; summe

And so they pitched vnder their baners,

The III. Chapter.
AThese are the generacions of Aaron ∧
Moses, whan þe; LORDE spake vnto
Moses at þe; same tyme vpon mount
Sinai. And these are þe; names of the sonnes
of Aron. noteThe firstborne, Nadab: then Abihu,
Eleasar ∧ Ithamar. These are þe; names
of the sonnes of Aaron, note which were anoynted
to be prestes, ∧ their handes fylled for þe;
presthode. noteBut Nadab ∧ Abihu dyed before
þe; LORDE, wh&abar; they offred stra&ubar;ge fyre before
þe; LORDE, in þe; wildernesse of Sinai, ∧ had
no sonnes. But Eleasar and Ithamar executed
þe; prestes office &wt; their father Aaron.
noteAnd the LORDE spake vnto Moses, ∧ sayde:
Bringe hither the trybe of Leui, and set
them before Aaron the prest, þt; they maye serue
&wt; him, ∧ wayte vpon him ∧ vp&obar; the whole

and execute the seruyce of the habitacion,
and kepe all the apparell of the Tabernacle

of Israel, to mynistre in the seruyce of
the habitacion.
B And thou shalt geue þe; Leuites vnto Aaron
and his sonnes for a gift, vnto euery one
his awne, from amonge the children of Israel.
As for Aaron ∧ his sonnes, thou shalt
appoynte them to wayte on their prestes office.
Yf another preasse therto, he shal dye.
noteAnd the LORDE spake vnto Moses, and
saide Beholde, I haue tak&ebar; the Leuites fr&obar;
amonge the childr&ebar; of Israel, for all the first
borne that open the Matrix amonge the
children of Israel, so that the Leuites shalbe
myne. noteFor the firstborne are myne, sence þe;
tyme that I smote all the first borne in þe; lande
of Egipte, wh&abar; I sanctified vnto me all
the first borne in Israel, from m&ebar; vnto catell,
that they shulde be myne. I the LORDE.
C And the LORDE spake vnto Moses in
the wyldernesse of Sinai, and sayde: Nombre
the children of Leui after their fathers
houses and kynreds, all that are males of a
moneth olde and aboue.
So Moses nombred them acordinge to
the worde of the LORDE, as he had commaunded.
And these were the children of Leui
with their names: Gerson, Rahath, Merari.
noteThe names of the children of Gerson
in their kynreds, were: Libni and Semei.
The childr&ebar; of Rahath in their kynreds
were, Amram, Iezehar, Hebron and Vsiel.
The children of Merari in their kynreds,
were Maheli and Musi. These are the kynreds
of Leui after their fathers houses.
D These are þe; kynreds of Gerson: The Libnites
and Semeites, the summe was founde
in nombre, seuen thousande and fyue hundreth,
of all that were males of a moneth olde
and aboue. And the same kynreds of the
Gersonites shal pitche behinde the Habitacion
on the west syde: Let Eliasaph the sonne
of Lael be their ruler. And they shal waite
vpon the Tabernacle of wytnesse, of the
habitacion, and of the tent, and couerynges
therof, and the hangynge in the dore of the
Tabernacle of wytnesse, the hangynge aboute
the courte, ∧ the hangynge in þe; courtedore,
which (courte) goeth aboute the habitacion
and the altare, and the cordes of it,
∧ all that belongeth to the seruyce therof.
These are the kynreds of Rahath: The
Amramites, the Iezeharites, the Hebronites,
and Vsielites, all that were males of a
moneth olde ∧ aboue, in nombre eight thousande
and sixe hundreth, waytinge vpon the
Tabernacle of the Sanctuary, ∧ shal pitch
on the south syde of þe; Habitacion: Let Elisaphan
the sonne of Vsiel be their ruler. E And
they shal kepe the Arke, the table, the candilsticke,
the altare and all the vessels of the
Sanctuary, to do seruyce in, and the vayle,
and all that belongeth to the seruice therof.
But the chefe of all the rulers of the Leuites,
shalbe Eleasar the sonne of Aron the
prest, ouer them that are apoynted to kepe
the watch of the Sanctuary.
These are þe; kynreds of Merari: The Mabelites
-- --
and Musites, which were in nombre
sixe thousande and two h&ubar;dreth, all that were
males of a moneth olde and aboue: Let
Zuriel þe; sonne of Abihail be their ruler, and
they shall pitche vpon the north syde of the
Habitacion. And their office shalbe to kepe
the bordes, and barres, and pilers, and sokettes
of the Habitacion, and all the apparell
therof and that serueth therto: þe; pilers
also aboute þe; courte, with the sokettes, and
nales, and cordes.
F But before the Habitacion and before þe;
Tabernacle on the East syde shal Moses ∧
Aaron ∧ his sonnes pytche, that they maye
wayte vpon the Sanctuary, ∧ the children
of Israel. noteYf eny other preasse therto, he
shal dye.
noteAll the Leuites in the summe, whom Moses
and Aaron nombred after their kynreds,
acordinge to the worde of the LORDE, all
that were males, of a moneth olde and aboue,
were two and twentye thousande.
And þe; LORDE saide vnto Moses: Nombre
all the first borne, that are males amonge
the children of Israel, of a moneth olde
and aboue, and take the nombre of their names.
noteAnd þe; Leuites shalt thou take out vnto
me the LORDE, for all þe; first borne of þe;
childr&ebar; of Israel, ∧ the catell of the Leuites
for all the first borne amonge the catell of þe;
children of Israel. And Moses nombred all
the first borne am&obar;ge the childr&ebar; of Israel,
as the LORDE commaunded him. G And in
the nombre of the names of all the first borne,
that were males of a moneth olde ∧ aboue,
in their summe, there were fo&ubar;de two and
twentye thousande, two hundreth, and thre
and seuentye.
And the LORDE spake vnto Moses, ∧ sayde:
Take the Leuites for all þe; first borne amonge
the childr&ebar; of Israel, ∧ the catell of þe;
Leuites for their catell, þt; the Leuites maye
be myne the LORDES. noteBut the redempcion
money of the two hundreth thre ∧ seuentye
þt; remayne of the first borne of the children
of Israel, aboue the nombre of the Leuites,
shalt thou take, euen fyue Sycles of euery
heade, after the Sycle of the Sanctuary
note (one Sycle is worth twentye Geras) ∧ the
money þt; remayneth ouer their n&obar;bre, shalt
thou geue vnto Aaron and his sonnes.
Then toke Moses þe; redempcion money
(that remayned ouer aboue the nombre of
the Leuites) from þe; first borne of the childr&ebar;
of Israel, euen a thousande, thre hundreth,
and fyue and thre score Sycles, after þe; Sycle
of the Sanctuary, ∧ gaue it vnto Aaron
and his sonnes, acordinge to the worde of
the LORDE, as the LORDE commaunded
Moses.
The IIII. Chapter.
AAnd the LORDE spake vnto Moses ∧
Aaron, ∧ sayde: Take þe; summe of the
childr&ebar; of Rahath from amonge the
childr&ebar; of Leui, after their kynreds ∧ fathers
houses note from thirtie yeare and aboue vntill
fiftye yeare, all that are mete for the warre,
that they maye do the worke in the Tabernacle
of witnesse. This shal be the office of
the children of Rahath in the Tabernacle
of wytnesse, which is most holy.
Whan the hoost breaketh vp, Aaron and
his sonnes shall go in, and take downe the
vayle, and couer the Arke of wytnesse therwith,
and laye the couerynge of doo skynnes
vpon it, and sprede a whole yalowe clothe
aboue theron, and put his staues therin.
And vpon the shewe table they shal sprede
a yalowe clothe also, and set ther on the disshes,
spones, flatpeces and pottes to poure
out and in, and the daylie bred shal lye vpon
it, and they shall sprede a purple clothe ther
ouer, and couer it with a couerynge of doo
skynnes, and put the staues of it therin.
And they shal take a yalowe clothe, and
couer the c&abar;dilsticke of light therwith, and
his lampes, with his snoffers and outquenchers,
and all the oyle vessels that belonge
to the seruyce, and aboute all this shal they
put a couerynge of doo skynnes, and put it
vpon staues.
B So shal they sprede a yalowe clothe ouer
the golden altare also, and couer the same
with a couerynge of doo skynnes, and put
it vpon staues. All the vessels that they occupye
in the Sanctuary, shal they take, and
put a yalowe clothe ther ouer, ∧ couer them
with a couerynge of doo skynnes, and put
them vpon staues. They shal swepe the asshes
also from the altare, and sprede a clothe
of scarlet ouer it, and set all his vessels theron,
that they occupye vpon it: colepames,
fleshokes, shouels, basens, with all the apparell
of the altare, and they shal sprede a couerynge
of doo skynnes theron, and put his
staues therto.
Now whan Aaron and his sonnes haue
done this, and haue couered the Sanctuary
∧ all the ornam&ebar;tes therof, whan the hoost
breaketh vp, note then shal the children of Rahath
go in, that they maye beare it, and the
Sanctuary shall they not touche, note lest they
dye. This is the charge of the childr&ebar; of Rahath
in the Tabernacle of wytnesse.
-- --
C And Eleasar the sonne of Aaron þe; prest,
shal haue the office, to prepare the oyle for
the light, and the spyces for the incense, and
the daylie meatofferynge, and the anoyntinge
oyle, to order the whole habitacion, ∧ all
that therin is, in the Sanctuary and the ornamentes
therof.
And the LORDE spake vnto Moses and
Aaron, ∧ sayde: Ye shal not destroye the trybe
of the kynred of the Rahathites am&obar;ge
the Leuites, but this shal ye do with them,
þt; they maye lyue ∧ not dye, yf they touche
the most holy. Aaron and his sonnes shal go
in, and appoynte euery one vnto his office
∧ charge. But they shal not go in, presumptuously
to loke vp&obar; þe; Sanctuary, lest they
die. And þe; LORDE spake vnto Moses and
Aaron ∧ sayde: Take the summe of the children
of Gerson also, after their fathers house

The V. Chapter.
AAnd þe; LORDE spake vnto Moses, and
sayde: Commaunde the children of Israel,
þt; they put out of the hoost note all þe;
lepers, and all that haue yssues, and that are
defyled vpon the deed, both men and wom&ebar;
shall they putt out of the hoost, that they
defyle not their tentes, wherin I dwell
-- --
amonge them. And þe; children of Israel dyd
so, and put them out of the hoost, as þe; LORDE
had sayde vnto Moses.
And the LORDE talked with Moses, and
sayde: Speake vnto the children of Israel ∧
saye vnto them: Whan a man or woman
doth a synne to eny body, and offendeth therwith
agaynst the LORDE, then hath that
soule a trespace vpon it. noteAnd they shall
knowlege their synne, that they haue done,
and shall make amendes for their trespace,
euen with the whole summe, and put þe; fifth
parte more therto, and geue it vnto him, agaynst
whom they haue trespaced. But yf
there be noman to make the amendes vnto
for the offence þt; he hath trespaced agaynst
him, then shal the reconcylynge be made vnto
the LORDE for the prest, besydes the
ramme of the attonem&ebar;t, wherwith he shalbe
reconcyled.
B Likewyse all the Heueofferynges of all
that the children of Israel halowe vnto the
LORDE, and offre vnto the prest, shall be
his. And who so haloweth eny thinge, it shalbe
his. And who so geueth the prest eny thinge,
it shal be his also.
And the LORDE talked with Moses, and
sayde: Speake to the children of Israel, and
saye vnto them: Whan eny mans wife goth
asyde, and trespaceth agaynst him, ∧ eny m&abar;
lye with her fleshlye, and the thinge be yet
hyd from his eyes, and is not come to light
that she is defiled, and he can brynge no witnesse
agaynst her (for she was not tak&ebar; therin)
and the sprete of gelousye kyndleth him,
so that he is gelous ouer his wife: whether
she be vncleane or not vncleane, then shal he
brynge her vnto the prest, and brynge an offerynge
for her, euen the tenth parte of an
Epha of barlye meele, and shal poure no oyle
theron, ner put frankensence vpon it: for it
is an offerynge of gelousy, and an offeringe
of remembraunce, that remembreth synne.
C Then shall the prest brynge her, and sett
her before the LORDE, and take of the note holy
water in an earthen vessell, and put of þe; dust
that is on the floore of the habitacion, in to
the water. And he shal set the wife before þe;
LORDE, and vncouer hir heade, and the offeringe
of remembraunce which is an offeringe
of gelousy, shall he laye vpon hir handes.
And the prest shal haue in his hande bytter
cursinge water, and shal coniure the wife, ∧
saye vnto her: Yf no man haue ly&ebar; with the,
and thou hast not gone asyde from thy hu&esset;bande,
to defyle thy self, then shall not these
bytter cursinge waters hurte the. But yf
thou hast gone asyde from thy hu&esset;bande, so
that thou art defyled, and some other man
hath lyen with the besyde thy hu&esset;bande,
then shall the prest coniure the wife with
this curse, and shal saye vnto her: The LORDE
sett the to a curse and a coniuracion amonge
thy people, so that the LORDE make
thy thye rotte, and thy wombe to berst. So
go this cursed water in to thy body, that þi;
wombe berst, and thy thye rotte. And the wife
shal saye: Amen Amen.
D So the prest shall wryte this curse in a
byll, and wash it out with the water, and
shall geue the wife of the bytter cursinge
waters to drynke. And wh&abar; the cursinge water
is gone in her, so þt; it is bytter vnto her
then shal the prest take the gelousy offerynge
out of the wyues hande, and waue it for
a meatofferynge before the LORDE, and offre
it vpon the altare: namely, he shall take
an handfull of the meatofferynge for hir rem&ebar;braunce,
∧ burne it vp&obar; the altare, ∧ then
geue the wife the water to drinke. And wh&abar;
she hath dronken the water, yf she be defyled
and haue trespaced agaynst hir hu&esset;bande,
then shal the cursinge water go in to her,
and be so bytter, that hir wombe shal berst,
and hir thye shall rotte, and the wife shal be
a curse amonge hir people. But yf the same
wife be not defyled, but is cleane, then shall
it do her no harme, so that she maye be with
childe.
This is the lawe of gelousy, whan a wyfe
goeth asyde from hir hu&esset;bande, and is defyled:
Or whan þe; sprete of gelousy kyndleth
a man, so that he is gelous ouer his wyfe, þt;
he brynge her before the LORDE, and that þe;
prest do all &wt; her acordinge vnto this lawe.
And þe; man shalbe giltlesse of the synne, but
the wife shall beare hir my&esset;dede.
The VI. Chapter.
AAnd the LORDE talked with Moses,
and sayde: Speake vnto the children
of Israel, and saye vnto them: Whan
a man or woman separateth them selues, to
vowe a vowe of abstinence vnto the LORDE,
he shal absteyne from wyne and str&obar;ge
drynke. noteVyneger of wyne ∧ of stronge drynke
shal he not drynke, ner that is pressed out
of grapes: he shall nether eate fresh ner drye
grapes, so longe as his abstinence endureth.
Morouer he shall eate nothinge that is made
of the vyne tre, from the wyne cornels vnto
the hulle.
As longe as the vowe of his abstynence
endureth, there shall no rasoure come vpon
his heade, tyll the tyme be out which he absteyneth
-- --
vnto the LORDE, for he is holy.
And he shall let the heer of his heade
growe, and stonde bare openly. All the tyme
ouer þt; he absteyneth vnto the LORDE, shal
he go to no deed. Nether shal he defyle him
self at þe; death of his father, of his mother,
of his brother, or of his sister. For the abstinence
of his God is vpon his heade, and þe;
whole tyme of his abstinence shall he be holy
vnto the LORDE.
B And yf it chaunce eny man to dye sodenly
before him, then shal þe; heade of his abstynence
be defyled. Therfore shal he shaue
his heade in the daye of his clensynge, that
is vpon the seuenth daye: and vpon þe; eight
daye shall he brynge two turtill doues, or
two yonge pigeons, vnto the prest before
þe; dore of the Tabernacle of wytnesse. And
the prest shall make the one a synofferynge,
and the other a burntofferynge, and make
an attonement for him, because he defyled
himself vpon þe; deed, and so shal he halowe
his heade the same daye, that he maye holde
out the tyme of his abstinence vnto the
LORDE, and he shall brynge a lambe of a
a yeare olde for a trespaceofferynge. But þe;
daies afore shal be but lost, because his abstinence
was defyled.
C This is the lawe of the absteyner. Whan
the tyme of his abstinence is out, he shal be
brought before the dore of the Tabernacle
of wytnesse. And he shal brynge his offeringe
vnto the LORDE, euen an he lambe of a
yeare olde without blemysh for a burntofferinge,
∧ a she lambe of a yeare olde without
blemysh for a synofferynge, and a ramme &wt;
out blemish for an healthofferynge, ∧ a ma&ubar;de
&wt; vnleuended cakes of fyne floure myngled
with oyle, and swete wafers anoynted
with oyle, ∧ their meatofferinges ∧ drynkofferynges.
And the prest shall brynge it before the
LORDE, and shal make his synofferynge
and his burntofferynge, and þe; ramme shal
he make an healthofferynge vnto the LORDE,
with þe; maunde of the vnleuended bred.
His meatofferynge and drinkofferinge shal
he make also. And he shall shaue the heade
of the absteyners abstinence before the dore
of the Tabernacle of wytnesse, and shall
take the heade heer of his abstinence, and
cast it vpon the fyre that is vnder þe; healthofferynge.
D And the sodden shulder of the ramme
shall he take, and an vnleuended cake out
of the maunde, and a swete wafer, and laye
them vpon the handes of the absteyner:
(after that he hath shauen of his abstinence.)
And he shal Waue them before the LORDE.
This is holy for the prest with the Wauebrest,
and Heueshulder. After that, maye
the absteyner drynke wyne. This is the lawe
of the absteyner, which voweth his offeringe
vnto the LORDE for his abstynence, besydes
that, which his hande can get. As he
hath vowed, so shall he do acordinge to the
lawe of his abstinence.
And the LORDE talked with Moses, and
sayde: Speake vnto Aaron and his sonnes,
and saye: Thus shal ye saye vnto the childr&ebar;
of Israel, whan ye blesse them.
The LORDE make his face to shyne vp&obar;
the, and be mercifull vnto the.
The LORDE lift vp his countenaunce
vpon the, and geue the peace.
For they shal put my name vp&obar; the children
of Israel, that I maye blesse them.
The VII. Chapter.
AnoteAnd whan Moses had set vp the Habitacion
and anoynted it, and sanctifyed
it with all the apparell therof:
and had anoynted and halowed the altare
also with all his vessels, Then offred the

And the LORDE sayde vnto Moses: Take
it of them, that it maye serue for the mynistracion
of the Tabernacle of wytnesse,
and geue it vnto the Leuites, vnto euery one
acordinge to his office. Then toke Moses

Two charettes and foure oxen gaue he
vnto þe; children of Gerson acordinge to their

shall laye their handes vpon the Leuites.
And Aaron shal waue þe; Leuites before the
LORDE for the children of Israel, that they
maye mynistre in the seruyce of the LORDE.
And the Leuites shall laye their handes
vpon the heedes of the bullockes, and the one
shalbe made a synnofferynge, the other a
burntofferinge vnto the LORDE, to make
an attonement for the Leuites. And thou
shalt set the Leuites before Aaron and his
sonnes, and waue them before the LORDE,
and so shalt thou separate them from þe; children
of Israel, that they maye be myne. Th&ebar;
shall they go in, that they maye do seruyce
in the Tabernacle of witnesse. Thus shalt
thou clense th&ebar;, ∧ waue them: for they are my
gifte of the children of Israel, note and I haue
taken them vnto me for all that openeth the
Matrix, namely for the first borne of all the
children of Israel.
CnoteFor euery first borne amonge the children
of Israel is myne, both of men and of catell,
sens the tyme that I smote all the first borne
in the lande of Egipte, and sanctified them
vnto myself, and toke the Leuites for all the
first borne amonge the childr&ebar; of Israel, and
gaue them for a gifte vnto Aar&obar; and his sonnes
from amonge the children of Israel, þt;
they shulde do the seruyce of the children of
Israel in the Tabernacle of witnesse, to make
attonem&ebar;t for the children of Israel, that
there be not a plage amonge the children of
Israel, yf they wyll come nye þe; Sanctuary.
And Moses with Aaron and the whole
congregaci&obar; of the childr&ebar; of Israel, dyd &wt;
the Leuites all as the LORDE had comma&ubar;ded
Moses. And they purified the Leuites,
and wa&esset;shed their clothes. And Aaron waued
them before the LORDE, and made attoment
for them, that they might be cleane.
D After that wente they in, to do their office
in the Tabernacle of witnesse before Aaron
and his sonnes: as the LORDE comma&ubar;ded
Moses concernynge the Leuites, euen so
dyd they with them.
And the LORDE spake vnto Moses ∧ sayde:
This is it that belongeth vnto the Leuites:
note From fyue and twentye yeare and aboue,
shal they go in to the office of the Tabernacle
of witnesse. But fr&obar; fyftie yeare forth,
they shal ceasse from the waitinge of the seruyce
therof, and shall mynister nomore, but
shal appoynte their brethren to waite and to
serue in the Tabernacle of wytnesse: but the
office shal not they execute. Thus shalt thou
do with the Leuites in their seruyces, that euery
one maye wayte vpon his awne charge.
The IX. Chapter.
AAnnd the LORDE spake vnto Moses
in the wildernesse of Sinai, in þe; first
moneth of the seconde yeare that they
were departed out of the lande of Egipte, ∧
sayde: note Let the children of Israel kepe Easter
in his season, euen vpon the fourtene daye of
this moueth at euen, in his season shall they
kepe it, acordynge to all the statutes ∧ lawes
therof. And Moses spake to þe; childr&ebar; of Israel,
þt; they shulde kepe Easter. And they kep
Easter vp&obar; the fourtene daye of the first moneth
at euen in the wildernes of Sinai. Acordinge
to all that the LORDE c&obar;maunded Moses,
euen so dyd the children of Israel.
Then were there certayne men defyled of
a deed man, so that they coulde not kepe Easter
vpon that daye: these came before Moses
and Aaron the same daye, and sayde vnto
him: We are defiled of a deed m&abar;: wherfore
shulde we be despysed, that we must not
bringe oure giftes in his season amonge the
children of Israel? Moses sayde vnto them:
Stonde styll, I wil heare what the LORDE
commaundeth you.
B And the LORDE spake vnto Moses, and
sayde: Speake vnto the children of Israel, ∧
saie: note Wh&abar; eny man is defyled of a deed coarse,
or is gone farre from you ouer the felde, or
is amonge youre kyn&esset;folkes, yet shall he kepe
Easter, but in the seconde moneth vp&obar; þe;
fourtene daye at euen, and they shal eate it
with vnleuended bred and sowre sawse, and
shall leaue none of it vntyll the mornynge,
note ner breake eny bone therof, and shal kepe
it acordinge to all þe; maner of þe; Easter.
But he that is cleane, and not gone in a
iourney, and is negligent to kepe the Easter,
the same soule shal be roted out from am&obar;ge
-- --
his people: because he brought not his gifte
to the LORDE in his season, he shal beare his
synne. And whan there dwelleth a straunger
amonge you, he shal kepe Easter also vnto
the LORDE, ∧ shal holde it acordinge to þe;
ordinaunce and lawe of þe; Easter. This statute
shal be vnto you alike, to the straunger
as to him that is borne in the londe.
CnoteAnd þe; same daye þt; the Habitacion was
set vp, a cloude couered it vp&obar; the Tabernacle
of witnesse, ∧ at euen there was a symilitude
of fyre vpon the Habitacion vntill the
mornynge. So came it to passe allwaye, þt;
the cloude couered it by daye, ∧ the symilitude
of fyre by night. And whan the cloude
was tak&ebar; vp from the Habitacion, then the
children of Israel wente on their iourney.
And loke in what place the cloude abode,
there the childr&ebar; of Israel pitched their tentes.
Acordinge to the worde of the LORDE
toke the children of Israel their iourney, and
acordinge to his worde pitched they their
tentes. So longe as the cloude abode vpon
the Habitacion, they laye styll. And whan
the cloude taried many dayes vpon the Habitacion,
the childr&ebar; of Israel wayted vpon
the LORDE, ∧ wente not on their iourney.
D And whan it chaunced that the cloude
abode vp&obar; þe; Habitacion eny space of dayes,
then pitched they acordinge to the worde of
the LORDE, ∧ after the worde of the
