A   These are the generacyons of Aar&obar; and Moses, in þe; daye that the Lord spake &wt; Moses in mount Synai, ∧ these are the names of the sonnes of Aaron: Nadad the eldest sone, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. ^noteThese are the names of the sonnes of Aaron which were ^note Preastes anoynted, ∧ whose hande was consecrated to minystre. ^noteAnd Nadab and Abihu dyed before the Lorde whan they offred straunge fyre before the Lorde in the wyldernesse of Synai, and had no chyldren. And Eleazar and Ithamar mynistred in the syght of Aaron their father.

And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, sayinge: brynge the trybe of Leui, and set them before Aar&obar; the Preast ^note that they maye serue hym and wayte vpon hym and vpon all the multitude, before the tabernacle of witnesse, to do the seruyce of þe; habitacy&obar;. They shall kepe all þe; apparell of the tabernacle of wytnesse, and wayte vp&obar; the chyldren of Israel, to do the seruyce of the habitacion. And thou shalt geue the Leuites vnto Aaron and hys sonnes, for they are geu&ebar; and delyuered vnto him of the chyldren of Israel. And thou shalt appoynte Aar&obar; ∧ hys sonnes to wayte on their Preastes offyce: and the straunger that commeth nye, shall be slayne.

And the Lord spake vnto Moses sayinge: beholde I haue taken the Leuites fr&obar; amonge þe; chyldr&ebar; of Israell ^note for all the fyrst borne þt; openeth the matrice amonge þe; chyldren of Israel, and the Leuites shalbe myne: because all the fyrst borne are myne: for the same daye þt; I smote all the fyrst borne in the lande of Egypte, I halowed vnto me all the fyrstborne in Israel, both man ∧ beast, and myne they shalbe: I am the Lorde.

And the Lorde spake vnto Moses in the wyldernesse of Synai sayinge: Nombre the chyldren of Leui after the houses of their fathers in their kynredes. All that are males, from a moneth olde and aboue shalt þu; nombre. And Moses nombred them, accordynge to the c&obar;maundement of the Lord, and as he had c&obar;maunded. ^noteAnd these were the chyldren of Leui in their names: Gerson, ∧ Cahath and Merari. And these are the names of the chyldren of Gerson in their kynredes: Libni and Semei. The sonnes of Cahath in their kynredes: Amram, Iezehar, Hebron ∧ Oziel. And the sonnes of Merari in their kynredes Maheli and Musi. These are the kynredes of the Leuites, accordynge to the houses of their fathers.

D   Of Gerson came the kynred of the Libnites and the kynred of the Semeites. These are the kynredes of the Gersonites. And the summe of th&ebar; (after the n&obar;bre of all the males from a moneth olde and aboue) was .vii. thousande and fyue hundred. And the kynredes of the Gersonytes shall pitche behynde the habitacyon west warde. The captayne ∧ most aunci&ebar;t of the house of the Gersonites, was Eliasaph the sonne of Lael. And vnder the kepynge of the chyldren of Gerson in the tabernacle of witnesse was &rhand; the habitacyon and the tente, the couerynge therof, and the hangynge of the dore of the tabernacle of

The offyces of the Leuites wytnesse, and the hangynges of the courte, and the curtayne of the dore of the courte: which is rounde about the Tabernacle, and the alter, and the cordes of it for all the seruyce therof. And of Cahath came the kynred of the Amramites, and þe; kynred of the Iezeharites: the kynred of the Hebronites, and the kynred of the Ozielites: These are the kynredes of the Cahathites. And the nombre of all the males from a moneth olde and aboue, was .viij. thousande and syxe h&ubar;dred: and these shall kepe the thynges that are to be kepte in the holy place. And the kynred of the chyldren of Cahath shall pytche on the southsyde of the Tabernacle. The captayne and most auncient of the house of the kynred of the Cahathites, was Elisaphan the sonne of Oziel, and vnder their kepynge was the arcke, the table, the candelstyck, and the alters, and all the vessels of the sanctuary þt; they mynistre in, and the vayle, and whatsoeuer belonged to the mynistracyon therof. And Eleazar the sonne of Aar&obar; the Preaste, was captayne ouer all the captaynes of the Leuites, and had the ouersyghte of th&ebar; that wayted vpon the sanctuary.

E   And of Merari came the kynred of the Mahelites, and the kynred of the Musites: These are the kynredes of Merari. And the summe of them accordynge to the nombre of all the males, from a moneth olde and aboue was .vj thousande and .ij. hundred. The captayne and the most auncient of their house that were of the kynred of Merari, was Zuriel the sonne of Abihael: and these shall pitche on the north syde of the tabernacle. And vnder the custody of the sonnes of Merari shalbe the bordes of the dwellynge, and the barres, pyllers and sockettes therof, all the vessell therof, and all that serueth therto: ∧ the pyllers of the courte rounde aboute with their sockettes, their pynnes ∧ their cordes. But on the forefront of the habitacyon before the Tabernacle of wytnesse eastwarde, shall Moses ∧ Aaron and his sonnes pytche, and wayte to kepe the sanctuary, and to kepe the chyldren of Israel. And þe; straunger that commeth nye, shall be slayne. And the hole summe of þe; Leuites whych Moses and Aaron F    nombred, at the commaundement of the Lorde thorowe out their kynredes (euen all the males from a moneth olde and aboue) was ^note &rhand; xxij. thousande.

And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: Nombre all the fyrst borne that are males am&obar;ge tbe chyldren of Israel (from a moneth olde and aboue) and take the nombre of their names. And thou shalt apoynte the Leuites to me (for I am the Lorde,) for all þe; fyrstborne of the chyldren of Israel, and the catell of the Leuites, for all the fyrst gendred of the catell of the chyldren of Israel. And Moses nombred The offyces of the Leuites as the Lorde commaunded hym, all the fyrst borne of the chyldren of Israel. And all the fyrst borne males rehearsed by their names, (from a moneth olde and aboue, accordynge to their nombre) were .xxij. thousande ij. hundred and .lxxiij.

G   And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayinge: take the Leuites for all the fyrst borne of the chyldren of Israel, and the catell of þe; Leuites for their catell: and the Leuites shalbe myne. I am the Lorde. And for þe; redemynge of the two hundred and .lxxiij. (whych are moo then the Leuites in þe; fyrst borne of the chyldren of Israel,) take .v. sycles of euery &rhand; heade, after the weyght of þe; Sanctuary ^note the Sycle conteynynge twenty halfpens. And geue the money wher with the odde n&obar;bre of them is redemed, vnto Aaron and his sonnes. And Moses toke þe; redempcyon money, of the ouerplus that were moo then the Leuites: of the fyrst borne of the chyldren of Israel toke he thys money: euen a thousande iij. hundred and .lxv. sycles, after the sycle of the Sanctuary. And Moses gaue the money of them that were redemed, vnto Aar&obar; and his sonnes accordynge to þe; worde of þe; Lord, euen as the Lorde commaunded Moses. ¶ The .iiij. Chapter. ¶ The offyces of the Leuites.

A   And the Lorde spake vnto Moses and Aaron sayinge: Take the summe of the chyldr&ebar; of Cahath from amonge the sonnes of Leui, after theyr kynredes and houses of their fathers, (from .xxx. yere and aboue vntyll fyftie) all that are able to go furth to the warre, for to do the worke in the tabernacle of wytnesse. The offyce of the chyldren of kahath in the tabernacle of wytnesse, &rhand; is moost holy. And when the hoste remoueth, Aaron ∧ hys sonnes shall come ∧ take doune the vayle, that h&abar;geth betwene, ∧ wrappe þe; Arke of wytnesse in it: and shall put theron a couerynge of taxus skynnes, ∧ shall sprede vp&obar; it a cloth that is altogether of yelow silke, and put in the barres therof. And vpon the shewe table, they shall sprede abrode a cloth of yelowe sylke, ∧ put theron the dysshes, spones, flatpeces, and pottes to powre wyth, and there shalbe breed theron continually: ∧ they shall spreade vpon them a couerynge of purple, and couer the same with a couerynge of taxus skynnes, and put in the barres therof.

And they shall take a cloth of yelow silke, and couer the c&abar;delstycke of lyght, with his lampes, t&obar;ges, and snoffers, and all the oyle vessels which they occupye aboute it, ∧ they shall put both it, and all the vessell therof within a couerynge of taxus skynnes, ∧ put it vpon a barre. And vpon the golden alter they shall sprede a cloth of yelowe sylke, and

Ceremonyes couer it with a couerynge of taxus skynnes, ∧ put in þe; barres therof. And they shall take all the thynges (whych they occupye to mynistre with in þe; holy place) and put a cloth of yelowe sylke vpon them, and couer them &wt; a couerynge of taxus skynnes, and put them on a barre. B   And they shall take awaye the asshes from þe; alter, and sprede a purple cloth theron: and put vp&obar;it all the vessels therof, that they mynistre wythall: euen þe; cole pannes, the fleshe hokes, the shouels, the basens and þe; other vessels of þe; alter, and they shall sprede vp&obar; it a couerynge of taxus skynnes, and put in the barres of it. And when Aaron and hys sonnes haue made an ende of couerynge the holy thinges, and all the vessels of the sanctuarye (agaynst that the hoste remoue) then the sonnes of Cahath shall come in for to beare, but they shall not touche any holy thynge, least they dye. And thys is the charge of the sonnes of Cahath in the Tabernacle of wytnesse. And to the offyce of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the Preaste pertayneth the oyle for the lyghte, the swete cens, the dayly meatoffrynge, ∧ the anoyntynge oyle, and the ouersyghte of all the tabernacle, and of all that therin is, both in the sanctuary and in all the vessels therof.

C   And the Lorde spake vnto Moses and Aaron, sayinge: &rhand; Ye shall not destroye the trybe of the kynred of the Cahathites, from amonge þe; Leuites. But thus do vnto them, that they maye lyue and not dye, when they go vnto the most holy thynges: Let Aaron and his sonnes go in, and take them downe, to euery one after hys seruyce, and after hys charge. But let them not go in, to se when þe; the holy thynges are folden vp, lest they dye.

And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayinge. Take also the summe of the chyldren of Gerson, thorowe out the houses of their fathers, and thorowe out their kynredes: from xxx. yere and aboue, vntyll .l. shalt thou n&obar;bre them, all that are able to goo forth to the warre for to do seruyce in the tabernacle of wytnesse. And this is the seruyce of the kynred of the Gersonites, to serue and to beare. They shall beare the curtaynes of the dwellynge, and the rouffe of the Tabernacle of wytnesse, hys couerynge, ∧ the couerynge of taxus skynnes, that is an hye aboue vp&obar; it, and the hangynge of the dore which is in the tabernacle of wytnesse: ∧ the hangynges of the courte, ∧ the hangynge that is in the entrynge in of the gate of þe; courte ro&ubar;de about the dwellynge ∧ the altare, with the cordes, ∧ all the instrumentes that serue vnto them, and all that is made for to serue them. At the mouth of Aaron and hys sonnes, shall all the seruyce of the chyldren of the Gersonytes be done, in all their charges and in all their seruyce, and ye &rhand; shall nombre vnto them all their burthens to kepe. And thys is the seruyce of the kynred of the chyldren of Gerson in the Tabernacle of wytnesse, ∧ their watche shalbe vnder the hande of Ithamar the sonne of Aaron the Preaste.

And thou shalt nombre the sonnes of Merari after their kynredes, ∧ after the houses of their fathers: from .xxx. yeres ∧ aboue vnto .l shalt thou nombre them, euery one that is able to go forth to the warre, to do the seruyce of þe; Tabernacle of wytnesse. And thys is the charge that they must wayte vp&obar;, accordynge to all their seruyce in the tabernacle of wytnesse. The bordes of þe; dwellynge, with the barres, pyllers, ∧ sockettes therof, and the pyllers that are rounde aboute the courte, &wt; their sockettes, pynnes ∧ cordes, ∧ withall the instrumentes of it, for all their seruyce. And by name ye shall reken þe; thynges þt; they must wayte vpon to beare. D   This is the seruice of the kynredes of the sonnes of Merari accordynge to all their offyce in the Tabernacle of wytnesse vnder the hande of Ithamar the sonne of Aaron the Preaste.

And Moses ∧ Aaron ∧ the prynces of the multitude n&obar;bred þe; sonnes of þe; Cahathites, after their kynredes and houses of their fathers from .xxx. yere ∧ aboue vnto fyftie, all that were able to go forth to the warre, to do seruyce in the tabernacle of wytnesse. And þe; n&obar;bres of them thorowe out their kynredes were two thousande, seuen h&ubar;dred ∧ .l. This is the n&obar;bre of the kynredes of Cahath: namely, all that myght do seruyce in the tabernacle of wytnesse, which Moses and Aaron dyd nombre, accordynge to the comma&ubar;dement of the Lorde by the hande of Moses.

These are þe; n&obar;bres of the sonnes of Gerson thorowe out their kynredes ∧ houses of their fathers, from .xxx. yere vp vnto fyftie all þt; were able to go forth to the warre, for to do seruyce in the Tabernacle of witnesse. And þe; n&obar;bres of th&ebar; thorowe out their kynredes: and houses of their fathers, were two thousande .vj. h&ubar;dred ∧ .xxx. Thys is the n&obar;bre of the kynredes of the sonnes of Gerson, of all þe; dyd seruyce in the tabernacle of wytnesse, which Moses ∧ Aar&obar; dyd n&obar;bre accordynge to the commaundement of the Lorde.

And these are þe; n&obar;bres of the kynredes of þe; sonnes of Merari thorowe out their kynredes ∧ houses of their fathers, fr&obar; .xxx. yere vp vnto fyftie: all þt; wente forth to þe; warre, ∧ seruyd in the tabernacle of wytnesse. And þe; n&obar;bres of them after their kynredes were, thre thous&abar;de ∧ two h&ubar;dred. This is þe; summe of the kynredes of the sonnes of merari, whiche Moses ∧ Aar&obar; n&obar;bred accordynge to the worde of þe; Lorde, by þe; hande of Moses.

And so all the nombres of the Leuites which Moses, Aaron, and the Lordes of Israell n&obar;bred, after their kynredes and housholdes

Offerynges of their fathers, from .xxx. yere vp vnto .l, euery one that came to do hys offyce and seruyce and to beare hys burthen in the Tabernacle of wytnesse: were (whan they were nombred.) viij. thousande, fyue hundred and .lxxx. &club; Accordynge to the worde of the Lorde dyd (Aaron) nombre them by the hande of Moses, euery one accordynge to their seruyce and charge, and accordynge to their offyces: as the Lorde commaunded Moses. ¶ The .v. Chapter. ¶ The knowlesynge of synne. The cleansynge of synne. The lawe of the fyrst frutes, and of gelousye.

A   And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, sayinge: commaunde the children of Israel that they ^note put &rhand; out of the hoste, euery leper and euery one that hath an yssue, and whosoeuer is &rhand; defyled vpon a soule. Both male ∧ female shall ye put out: eu&ebar; out of the hoost shall ye put them, that they defyle not the tentes amonge which I dwell. And the chyldren of Israel dyd so, and put them out of the hoste, eu&ebar; as the Lorde spake vnto Moses, so dyd the chyldren of Israel.

And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, sayinge: speake vnto the chyldren of Israel: whether it be ^note man or woman. Yf they haue c&obar;mytted any synne that a man doeth, and haue trespaced agaynst the Lorde, that soule hath done amisse: Therfore they shall knowledge their synne, whyche they haue done, and let hym restore agayne the hurte that he hath done in the hole, and put the fyft parte of it moare thereto, ∧ geue it vnto hym wh&obar; he hath trespaced agenste. But and yf there be not a man to restore the hurte vnto, B   ner a kynsman of hys, let þe; trespace be made good vnto the Lorde, and it shalbe the Preastes, besyde the ram &rhand; of the attonement wherby an attonement shalbe made for him. And euery heue offeringe that is made of the holy thynges of the chyldr&ebar; of Israel whych they brynge vnto the Preaste, shall be hys: and euery mans halowed thinges shalbe his: and whatsoeuer any man geueth the Preaste, it shalbe hys.

And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, sayinge: Speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and saye vnto them: If any mans wyfe goo asyde, and trespace agaynst hym, so that another man lye wyth her fleshely, and it be hyd from the eyes of her husbande, and is not come to lyghte that she is defyled and ther is no wytnesse agaynst her, neyther she taken with the maner, and the sprete of gelousye c&obar;meth vpon hym, so that he is gelouse ouer hys wyfe whych is defyled: or yf the sprete of gelousye come vpon hym, so that he is gelouse ouer his wyfe whych is yet vndefyled: then let the man brynge his wyfe vnto the Preaste, and brynge wyth her an offerynge for her: þe; tenthe parte of an Epha of barlye meale, but let him powre none oyle vpon it, nor put frankencens theron: for it is an offerynge of gelousye, an offerynge for a rem&ebar;brauce, causynge þe; synne to be thought vp&obar;.

And the Preaste shall brynge her and set her before the Lorde, and let him ^note &rhand; take holy water in an erthen vessell, ∧ of the dust that is in the floore of the habitacyon, and put it into the water. C   And let the Preaste set the woman before the Lorde, and vncouer the womans head, and put the memoryall of the offerynge in her handes whyche is the gelousye offerynge, and þe; Preaste shall haue bytter and cursyd water in hys hande, ∧ the prest shall charge her, and saye vnto the woman. If no man haue lyen wyth the, nether haste gone asyde to vnclennesse without thy husbande, then haue thou no arme of thys bytter, and cursyd waters.

But and yf thou hast gone asyde behynde thyne husb&abar;de, and art defyled, and some other man hath lyen with the besyde thyne husbande. (∧ the preaste shall charge the woman with an horible curse, ∧ the preste shall saye vnto the woman) the Lorde make the to be an abhominacyon and a curse amonge thy people: when the Lorde doth make thy thye rotte, and thy bely swell: These cursyd waters goo into the bowels of the that they maye make thy bely swell, ∧ thy thye rotte, and let the woman &rhand; saye, Amen Amen.

D   And let the Preaste wryte these curses: And whan they be clensed, let him cast them in to bytter waters, ∧ geue the woman those bytter ∧ cursed waters to drincke, that those cursed ∧ bytter waters maye entre into her, And then the Preaste shall take the gelousy offrynge out of the womans hande, ∧ waue it before the Lord, ∧ brynge it vnto the alter ∧ the preste shall take an handefull of the offerynge for a memoryall, ∧ burne it vp&obar; the alter, ∧ then make the woman drynke þe; water: ∧ when he hath made the woman drinke the waters (yf she be defyled ∧ haue trespaced agaynst her husb&abar;de:) then shall the cursyd ∧ bytter waters goo into her, ∧ her bely shall swell, ∧ her thye shall rotte, ∧ þe; woman shalbe a curse amonge her people. And yf the woman be not defiled but is cleane, she shall haue no harme, but shall conceaue and beare.

Thys is the lawe of gelousye, wh&ebar; a wyfe goeth a syde behynde hyr husbande, and is defyled, or when the spryte of gelousye commeth vpon a man, ∧ he beynge gelouse ouer hys wyfe, doth brynge her before the Lorde, And the preaste shall do accordynge vnto all this lawe: and the man shalbe gyltlesse, ∧ the woman shall beare her synne. ¶ The .vj.

Ceremonyes

A   And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, sayinge: speake vnto the children of Israel, and saye vnto them: when ether m&abar; or woman doth separate them selues to vowe a vowe of &rhand; an absteiner, and appoynte them selues vnto the Lorde, he shall separate hym selfe from ^note wyne and stronge dryncke, and shall dryncke no vynagre of wyne nor of str&obar;ge drynke, nor shall drynke whatsoeuer is pressed out of grapes: ∧ shall eate no freshe grapes nether yet dryed. As l&obar;ge as hys abstin&ebar;ce endureth, shall he eate nothynge that is made of the vyne tre, or of the cornels, or of the huske of the grape.

B   And as longe as he voweth, and is separated, there shall no rasure come apon hys heed: But vntyll hys dayes be out, in the which he separateth him selfe vnto the Lorde, he shalbe holy, and shall let the lockes of hys heere growe. As longe as he consecrateth hym selfe vnto the Lorde, he shall come at no deed bodye: he shall not make hym selfe vncleane at the death of hys father, mother, brother or syster: because that the vowe of the abstinence of hys God is vpon hys heade. All the dayes of hys abstinence he is holy vnto the Lorde.

And yf it fortune that any man by chaunce dye sodenly before hym, the heed of hys abstinence shalbe defyled, and he shall ^note shaue hys heed the daye of hys clensynge: euen the seuenth daye he shall shaue it. And the eyght daye he shall brynge two turtels or two yonge pigeons to the Preaste, before the dore of the Tabernacle of wytnesse. And the Preaste shall offer the one for synne and the other for a burnt offerynge, and make an attonement for hym, as concernynge that he synned vpon a soule, and shall halowe hys heed the same daye, and he shall consecrate hym selfe vnto the Lorde (þe; tyme of hys abstinencye) and shall brynge a lambe of a yere olde &rhand; for trespace: but the dayes that were before are lost, because hys abstin&ebar;cie was defyled. C   Thys is the lawe of the absteyner, when the tyme of hys abstinence is out, he shalbe broughte vnto the dore of the tabernacle of wytnesse, and he shall brynge hys offerynge vnto the Lorde: an he lambe of a yere olde without blemyshe for a burntofferynge, and a she lambe of a yere olde without blemyshe for synne, a ram wythout blemyshe also for a peace offerynge, and a basket of swete breed, eu&ebar; cakes of fyne floure myngled with oyle, and wafers of swete bread anoynted wyth oyle wyth their meatofferynges and drynk offerynges.

And the Preaste shall brynge hym before the Lord, and offer hys synofferynge and his burntofferynge, and shall offer the ram for a peaceofferynge vnto the Lorde, wyth the basket of swete breed, and the Preaste shall offer also his meat offerynge and his drinckofferynge. And he shall shaue the heed of the absteyner in the dore of the Tabernacle of wytnesse: euen the heed of his abstinence, and shall take the heere of his sober heed, and put it in the fyre, which is vnder the peaceofferynge. And the preaste shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one swete cake out of the basket, and one swete wafer also, and put them vpon the handes of the absteyner (after he hath shau&ebar; his abstin&ebar;ce of) and the Preaste shall (take them of hym, and) waue th&ebar; before the Lorde. D   And these holy thynges shalbe the prestes, wyth the wauebrest and heue shoulder: and then the absteyner maye drynke wyne. Thys is the lawe of the absteyner whych hath vowed his offrynge vnto the Lorde for his consecracyon: Besydes &rhand; those thynges that hys hande can gett, accordynge to the vowe whych he vowed, euen so he must do after the lawe of hys abstinence.

And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, sayinge: speake vnto Aaron and his sonnes sayinge: of thys wyse ye shall blesse the chyldren of Israel, and saye vnto them.

The Lorde blesse the, and kepe the.

The Lorde &rhand; make hys face shyne vp&obar; the, and be mercyfull vnto the.

A   And it fortuned in þt; daye, when ^note Moses had full sett vp the habitacyon ∧ anoynted it ∧ sanctifyed it, ∧ all þe; apparell thereof, the alter also and all the vessels thereof: and had anointed them ∧ sanctifyed them, then the princes of Israell heedes ouer the houses of their fathers whych were the Lordes of the trybes, stondynge in their offices, offered ∧ brought their sacrifices before þe; Lorde: syxe couered charettes ∧ .xij. oxen: one charet for two Lordes, ∧ for one, an oxe, ∧ they broughte them before the habitacyon.

And þe; Lorde spake vnto Moses sayinge take it of them, that they maye be to do the seruice of the tabernacle of wytnesse, ∧ thou shalt geue them vnto the Leuites, to euery man accordynge vnto his offyce. And Moses toke the charettes ∧ the oxen, ∧ gaue them vnto the leuites .ij. charettes ∧ .iiij. oxen he gaue vnto the sonnes of Gerson accordynge vnto their office.

B   And the prynces offered for the dedycatynge of the alter (in the daye that it was anoynted) and brought theyr sacrifyces before the alter. And þe; Lorde sayde vnto Moses: The prynces shall brynge theyr offerynges, euery daye one prynce, for the dedycatynge of the alter.

And so on the fyrst daye dyd Nahesson the sonne of Aminadab of the trybe of Iuda offre hys sacrifyce: And hys offerynge was a syluer charger, of an hundred and xxx. sycles: a syluer boule of .lxx. sycles after the weyght of the Sanctuary: and they were both full of fyne wheten floure, myngled with oyle for a meat offerynge: a spone of ten sycles of golde, full of cens: a bullock, a ram, a lambe of a yere olde for a burnt offerynge: an he goate for a synofferynge: and (for a peace offerynge) two oxen, fyue r&abar;mes, fyue he goates and fyue lambes of a yere olde: thys was the gyfte of Nahesson the sonne of Aminadab. ^note

And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of wytnesse, to speke wyth hym, he harde the voyce of one speakynge vnto hym from of the mercyseate, that was vpon the arke of wytnesse betwene þe; two cherubyns, and he talked with hym. ¶ The .viij. Chapter. ¶ The order of the lampes. The forme of the candelstyck. The cle&abar;synge ∧ offrynge of the Leuites.

A   And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, sayinge: speake vnto Aaron, and saye vnto hym: ^note when thou puttest on the lampes, the same seu&ebar; lampes shall geue lyght towarde the forefr&obar;t of the candelstycke. And Aaron dyd euen so, and lyghtted þe; l&abar;pes towarde the forefront of the candelstycke, as þe; Lorde commaunded Moses, and the worke of the candelsticke was &rhand; of styffe golde, both the shaft and the floures therof: accordinge vnto þe; visy&obar; whiche the Lord had shewed Moses euen so he made the c&abar;delsticke.

And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, sayinge: take the Leuites from amonge the chyldren of Israel, and cleanse them. But thus shalt thou do vnto them, when thou cleansest th&ebar;: sprynckle water of purifyenge vpon them, B   and let them make a rasure to runne alonge vpon all the fleshe of them, and let them washe their clothes, and so make them selues cleane. Then let them take a bullocke with his meatoffrynge: eu&ebar; fyne floure myngled wyth oyle: and another bullocke shalt thou take for synne.

And whan thou doest brynge the Leuites before the tabernacle of wytnesse, thou shalt gether the hole multitude of the chyldren of Israel together, and brynge the Leuites before the Lorde, and þe; chyldren of Israel shall put their handes vpon the Leuites. And Aaron &rhand; shall waue þe; Leuites before the Lorde, for a waue offerynge of the chyldr&ebar; of Israel, that they maye execute the minystracy&obar; of the seruyce of the Lorde.

And the Leuytes shall put their handes vpon the heedes of the bullockes, and thou shalt offer the one for synne, and the other for a burnt offerynge vnto the Lorde, that thou mayest make an attonem&ebar;t for þe; Leuites.

Ceremonies And thou shalt sett þe; Leuites before Aaron and his sonnes, ∧ waue them for a waueofferynge before the Lorde. And thus thou shalt separate the Leuites from amonge the chyldren of Israel, and the Leuites shall be myne: after that, shall the Leuites go in, to do the seruyce of the tabernacle of wytnesse. And thou shalt cleanse them and waue th&ebar;, for they are geuen and delyuered vnto me C    from amonge the chyldren of Israel, for such as open euery wombe: eu&ebar; for the fyrst borne of all the chyldren of Israel haue I taken th&ebar; vnto me.

^noteFor all the fyrstborne of the chyldren of Israel are myne both man and beest: sens the daye that I smote euery fyrst borne in þe; lande of Egypte, I sanctifyed them for my selfe: and I haue taken the Leuites for all the fyrst borne of the chyldr&ebar; of Israel, and haue geuen the Leuites as a gyfte vnto Aaron ∧ hys sonnes from amonge the chyldren of Israel, to do the seruyce of the chyldren of Israel in the Tabernacle of wytnesse, to make an attonement for the chyldren of Israel, that there be no plage amonge the chyldren of Israel, yf the chyldren of Israel come nye vnto the holy thynges.

D   And Moses and Aaron and all the congregacyon of che chyldr&ebar; of Israel dyd with the Leuytes, accordynge vnto all that the Lorde commaunded Moses c&obar;cernynge the Leuytes: euen so dyd the chyldren of Israel vnto them. And the Leuites were purifyed, and washed their clothes. And Aaron waued them before the Lorde, and made an attonement for them, and cleansed them. After that went the Leuytes into do theyr seruyce in the tabernacle of wytnesse, before Aaron and hys sonnes: as the Lord had commaunded Moses concernynge the Leuytes, eu&ebar; so they dyd vnto them.

And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayinge: thys is it that belongeth vnto the Leuytes: ^note from .xxv. yere vpwarde they shall go in to wayte vpon the seruyce of the tabernacle of wytnesse, and from the age of fyftye yeare, they shall ceasse waytynge vpon the seruice therof, ∧ shall serue no moare: &rhand; but shall mynistre vnto theyr brethren in the tabernacle of wytnesse, to wayte, but shall do no moare seruyce. Thus therfore shalt thou do vnto the Leuites in their watche. ¶ The .ix. Chapter. ¶ The passeouer. Of the cloude.

A   And the Lorde vnto Moses in þe; wyldernesse of Synay, in the fyrste moneth of the sec&obar;de yere, after they ^note were come out of the lande of Egypte, sayinge: let the chyldren of Israel offre Passeouer in hys season: eu&ebar; the .xiiij. daye of thys moneth at euen let them kepe it in hys season, accordynge to all the ceremonyes of it, and accordynge to all the maners therof. And Moses spake vnto the chyldren of Israel, that they shulde offer Passeouer, and they offered Passeouer the .xiiij. daye of the fyrst moneth at euen in þe; wyldernesse of Synai: accordynge to all that the Lorde commaunded Moses, euen so dyd the chyldren of Israel.

And certayne men were defyled &rhand; vp&obar; the soule of a man, that they myght not offer Passeouer the same daye. And they came before Moses and Aaron the same daye. And þe; men sayde vnto hym: We are defyled vpon þe; soule of a man: wherfore are we kepte backe, that we maye not offer an offerynge vnto the Lorde in the due season, amonge þe; chyldr&ebar; of Israel? And Moses sayde vnto th&ebar;: Stond styll, ∧ I wyll heare what the Lorde will c&obar;maunde c&obar;cernynge you. And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayinge: speake vnto þe; chyldren of Israell and saye: If any man amonge you or youre chyldren after you be vncleane by the reason of a coarse, or is in the waye farre from you, and will offer Passeouer vnto the Lorde: the .xiiij. daye of the sec&obar;de moneth at eu&ebar; let them offre it, and eate it with swete breed and sowre herbes: let them leaue none of it vnto the mornynge ^note nor breake any bone of it: But accordynge to all the ordinaunce of the Passeouer let them offer it.

But the man that is cleane and is not in a iourney, ∧ yet was neglig&ebar;t to offer Passeouer: the same soule shall peryshe from hys people, because he brought not the offerynge of the Lord in hys due season: C   that man shall bere hys synne. And yf a straunger dwell amonge you, and wyll offer Passeouer vnto the Lorde, accordynge to the ordinaunce of Passeouer and maner therof, he shall offre it thus: Ye shall haue one lawe both for þe; straunger, and for hym that was borne at home in the lande.

And the same daye that the Tabernacle was reared vp, a ^note cloude couered the habitacyon, whych was as a tabernacle of the wytnesse: and at euen there was vp&obar; the habitacy&obar;, as it were the similitude of fyre vntyll the mornynge. So it was alwaye, the cloude couered it by daye, and the similitude of fyre by nyghte. And when the cloude was taken vp fr&obar; of the tabernacle, then the chyldr&ebar; of Israel iourneyed: and where the cloude abode there the chyldren of Israel pitched theyr tentes. At the &rhand; mouthe of the Lorde the chyldren of Israell iourneyed, and at the mouth of the Lorde they pytched. And as l&obar;ge as the cloude abode vpon the habitacyon they laye styll: D   and when the cloude taryed styll vpon the habitacyon longe tyme, the chyldren of Israell kepte the watche of the Lorde, and iourneyed not.

The siluer tr&obar;pettes.

And it chaunced þt; wh&abar; the clowde abode a few dayes vpon the habitacy&obar;, they abode in their tentes, according to the comma&ubar;dement of the Lorde: and they iorneyed also at the c&obar;maundment of the Lorde. And it happened that whan the cloude abode vpon the habitacion fr&obar; euen vnto the mornyng, and was tak&ebar; vp in that morning, then they iorneyed. Whether it was by daye or by night that the cloude was tak&ebar; vp, they iorneyed. Or yf the cloud taryed two dayes or a moneth, or a longe ceason vp&obar; the habitacyon, and remayned theron, the chyldren of Israel abode styll, and iorneyed not. And assone as the cloude was taken vp, they iorneyed. At the mouth of the Lorde, they rested in the t&ebar;tes, and at the commaundment of the Lord, they iorneyed, keping þe; watche of the Lord, at the commaundement of the Lorde by the hande of Moses. ¶ The .x. Chapter. ¶ The trompettes of syluer. The Israelites departe from Sinai. The captaynes of the host are nombred. Hobab refuseth to go with Moses.

A   And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, saying: Make the two trompettes of syluer: of an whole pece shalt thou make th&ebar;, þt; thou mayst vse them to call the congregacyon together, and when the hoost shall iorneye. Therfore shall they blowe with th&ebar;, that all the multitude maye resorte to the before the dore of the tabernacle of witnes. And yf they blowe but one trompet, then the princes which are heedes ouer þe; thousandes of Israel shall come vnto the. But yf ye trompe, the hostes þt; lye on the east partes shall go forward. And ye trompe the second tyme, the hoost þt; lyeth on the south syde shall take their iorneye: for they shall trompe when they take their iorneyes. But when the congregacion is to be gathred together they shall blowe only, and not tr&obar;pe. And the sonnes of Aaron þe; preast shal blowe &wt; their tr&obar;pettes, ∧ ye shall haue th&ebar; as a lawe for euer in your generacions.

B   And yf ye go to warre in your l&abar;de against your enemyes that vexe you, ye shall blowe with the trompettes: and ye shalbe remembred before the Lorde your God, to be saued from your enemies. Also in the daye of your gladnes, and in your feaste dayes, and in the begynning of your monethes, ye shall blow the trompettes ouer your burntsacrifyces ∧ peaceoffringes, that they maye be a remembraunce for you before youre God. I am the Lorde youre God.

And it came to passe the tw&ebar;tyth daye of the second moneth in the second yeare, that þe; cloude was taken vp from of the habitacion of wytnesse. And the chyldren of Israel toke their iorney out of the desert of Sinai, ∧ the cloude rested in the wyldernesse of Pharan. And the fyrst toke their iorney at the mouth of the Lorde, by the hande of Moses. In the first place went the standart of the hooste of Iuda, according to their armies, whose captayne was Nahasson the sonne of Aminadab. And ouer the hoost of the tribe of þe; children of Isachar, was Nathanel the sonne of Zuar. And ouer the hooste of the trybe of the children of Zabulon, was Eliab the sonne of Helon. And the habitacyon was tak&ebar; downe: and the sonnes of Gerson ∧ Merari went forth bearyng the habitacyon.

C   And the hoost of Ruben went forth with their standart and armyes, whose captayne was Elizur the sonne of Sedeur. And ouer the hooste of the trybe of the chyldren of Sime&obar; was Salamiel the s&obar;ne of Suri Saddai. And ouer the hoost of the trybe of þe; children of Gad was Eliasaph the sonne of Deguel. The Cahathites also went forewarde and bare the sanctuarye, &rhand; and the other dyd set vp the habitaci&obar; agaynst they came. And the standart of the hoost of the children of Ephraim went forth accordynge to theyr armyes, whose captayne was Elisama the sonne of Amiud. And ouer the hoost of the tribe of the sonnes of Manasse, was Gamaliel the s&obar;ne of Pedazur. And ouer the hoost of the trybe of the sonnes Ben Iamin was Abidan the sonne of Gedeoni.

And the standart of the hoost of the chyldr&ebar; of Dan came forth (hauing all the hostes together) thorowout their armyes: whose captayne was Ahiezer the sonne of Ammi Saddai. And ouer the hooste of the trybe of the chyldr&ebar; of Aser, was Pagiel the sonne of Ochram. And ouer the hooste of the trybe of the chyldren of Nephtali, was Ahira þe; s&obar;ne of En&abar;. These are the iorneyes of the chyldr&ebar; of Israel thorowout theyr armyes: and thus the hoostes remoued.

D   And Moses sayde vnto &rhand; Hobab the sonne of Raguel the Madianite: which was Moses father in lawe: we go vnto the place of which the Lorde sayd: I wyll geue it you. Come thou therfore with vs, ∧ we wyll do the good: for the Lorde hath promysed good vnto Israel. And he answered hym: I wyll not go: but will departe to myne awne land and to my kynred. He sayde: Oh naye, leaue vs not: for thou knowest oure mansyons in the wyldernesse: and thou hast bene to vs in steade of &rhand; eyes. And yf thou go with vs loke what goodnesse the Lorde sheweth vnto vs, the same wyll we shewe vnto the.

And they departed from the mount of the Lorde, thre dayes iorneye: and the arcke of the testament of the Lord went before them in the thre dayes iorneye, to serche oute a restyng place for them. And the Lorde made a shadowe for th&ebar; thorowe the cloude by day, when they went out of the tentes.

The people murmur.

And it fortuned, that wh&abar; the arck went forth, Moses sayde: ^note Ryse vp Lorde, and let thyne enemyes be scatered: and let them that hate the, flye before the. And when the arck rested, he sayde: Returne O Lorde vnto the many thousandes of Israel. ¶ The .xi. Chapter. ¶ The people murmureth. They desyre fleshe. They sothe manna. The waueryng fayth of Moses. The Lord deuydeth the burden of Moses to seuentye of the auncyentes, and they prophesye. It rayneth quayles. The flesh rauenuers are punysheth.

A   And it fortuned, þt; whan ^note &club; the people dyd wykedlye, it was a dyspleasure in the eares of the Lord. And wh&ebar; the Lord heard it, &rhand; his co&ubar;tena&ubar;ce was prouoked to wrath, ∧ the fier of the Lord burnt among th&ebar;, ∧ c&obar;sumed th&ebar; þt; were the vttemost of þe; hoste. And þe; people cried vnto Moses. And wh&abar; Moses made intercessi&obar; vnto þe; Lord, þe; fier qu&ebar;ched. And þe; name of þe; place was called &rhand; Thaberah, because þe; fier of the Lord burnt among them.

B   And the rascall people that was amonge them, fell a lustyng, and turned them selues and wepte (euen as dyd also the chyldren of Israel) and sayde: who shall geue vs flesh to eate? we remembre the fyshe which we dyd eate in Egipt for naught, ∧ the Cucumbers, and melons, lekes, onyons ∧ garleke. But nowe oure soule is dryed awaye, for we can se nothyng els, saue Manna.

The manna was as ^note coriander seed, and (to se to) lyke Bedelli&obar;. And the people w&ebar;t about and gathered it, and gro&ubar;de it in milles, or bet it in morters, and baked it in pannes, and made kakes of it. And the taist of it was like vnto the taist of an oyle kake. And whan the dewe fell downe vpon the hooste in the nyght, the Manna fell vpon it.

C   And whan Moses herde the people wepe thorowout theyr housholdes, euery m&abar; in þe; dore of his tent, &rhand; þe; face of the Lord was prouoked vnto wrath exceadingly: ∧ it greued Moses also. And Moses sayde vnto the Lord: wherfore hast thou dealt cruelly with thy serua&ubar;t? And wherfore haue I not fo&ubar;d fauour in thy syght, seyng that thou puttest the weyght of all this people vpon me? haue I conceaued all thys people? Or haue I begott&ebar; th&ebar;: ? hat þu; shuldest saye vnto me? carie them in they bosome (as a nurse beareth the suckynge chylde) vnto the lande, which thou swarest vnto their fathers? where shulde I haue fleshe, to geue vnto all thys people, which wepe before me, saying: geue vs flesh that we maye eate? I am not able to beare all thys people alone, seying it is to heuy for me. If thou deale thus with me, kyll me, I praye the, yf I haue founde fauour in thy syght, that I se not my wrechednes.

D   And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses, ^note gather The people murmur. vnto me .lxx. m&ebar; of the elders of Israel, which thou knowest, that they are þe; elders of the people and officers ouer th&ebar;: and thou shalt bryng th&ebar; vnto the tabernacle of witnesse, that they maye stande there with the: And &rhand; I will come downe, and talke with the there, and &rhand; take of the sprete which is vpon the, and put vp&obar; them, and they shall beare the burthen of the people with the, lest thou be constrayned to beare it alone.

And saye thou vnto the ^note people: be halowed agaynst tomorowe, and ye shall eate flesh: for your whyning is in the eares of the Lorde, seing ye sayd: who shall geue vs flesh to eate? we were happye in Egipt: therfore the Lorde wyll geue you flesh, and ye shall eate. Ye shall not eate one daye nor two, nor fyue dayes, neyther ten, nor twentye dayes: but euen a moneth longe, vntyll it come out at the nastrels of you: and make you to parbrake, because that ye haue cast the Lorde asyde which is amonge you: and haue wepte before hym, saying: why came we thus oute of Egipte?

E   And Moses sayde: ^note syxe hundred thousande fotmen are there of the people, among which I am. And thou hast sayd: I wyll geue them flesh, that they maye eate a moneth l&obar;ge. Shall the shepe ∧ the ox&ebar; be slayne for them, to fynde them? ether, shall all the fysh of the see be gathered together for th&ebar; to serue them? And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: Shall ^note the Lordes hande be waxed shorte? Thou shalt se nowe whither my word shall come to passe vnto the, or not.

And Moses went out, and tolde the people the saying of the Lorde, and gathred the lxx. elders of the people, and set them rounde aboute the tabernacle. And the Lorde came downe in a cloud, and spake vnto hym, and toke of the sprete that was vpon hym, and gaue it vnto the .lxx. elders. F   And it fortuned that when the sprete rested vpon them, they &pro;phecied, ∧ did not ceasse. But there remayned two of the men in the hoost: the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of þe; other Medad. And the sprete rested vpon them, and they were of them that were wrytten, and went not out vnto the tabernacle, but prophecied in the hoost. And there ran a y&obar;g man, and tolde Moses and sayd: Eldad and Medad do prophecye in the hooste. And Iosua the sonne of Nun the seruaunt of Moses &club; one of hys yonge men, answered ∧ sayde: master Moses, ^note forbyd them. And Moses sayde vnto hym: enuyest thou for my sake? ^note wolde God þt; all the Lordes people coulde prophecye, and that the Lorde wold put hys sprete vpon them. And Moses gat him into the hoost, he and the elders of Israel.

And there went forth a wynde from the Lorde: and ^note brought quayles from the see:

Mir Iam is leprous. and let th&ebar; fall about the hoost, euen a daies iorney ro&ubar;de about on euery syde of þe; hoost, and (they dyd flye in the ayre) as it were two cubites hye ouer the erth. And the people stode vp, and all that day and all þe; nyght, and on the morowe they gathered quayles. And he that gathred a lytle, gathred ten homers ful. And they spred them abrode rounde aboute the hoost. ^noteAnd whyle the flesh was yet betwene their teth, and yer it was chewed vp: beholde, the countenaunce of the Lorde was moued agaynst þe; people, ∧ the Lord ^note slewe the people with an exceadynge great plage. And the name of the place was called, the graues of lust, because they buryed the people that lusted, there. And the people toke their ^note iorneye from the graues of lust vnto Hazeroth, and bode at Hazeroth. ¶ The .xij. Chapter. ¶ Aaron ∧ Mir Iam grudge agaynst Moses. MirIam is stricken with leprosy, and healed at the prayer of Moses.

A   And ^note Mir Iam and Aar&obar; spake agaynst Moses, because of þe; woman of Inde which he had taken: for he had taken to wyfe one of Inde. And they sayde: Hath the Lorde in dede spoken only thorow Moses? Hath he not spok&ebar; also by vs? And the Lorde hearde it. But Moses was a very ^note meke m&abar;, aboue all the men of the earth. And the Lorde spake at once vnto Moses vnto Aaron and to Mir Iam: come out ye thre vnto ^note the tabernacle of witnes, and they came out all thre.

And the Lorde came downe in the ^note pyller of the cloude, and stode in the ^note dore of the tabernacle, B   and called Aaron and MirIam: And they went out both of th&ebar;. And he said: heare my wordes. If there be a prophete of the Lordes amonge you, I wylbe knowne of him in a visy&obar;: and wyll speake vnto him in slepe. My serua&ubar;t Moses is not so, which is faithfull in all myne house. Unto him wil I speake ^note mouth to mouth in a visyon: but in rydels and symylitudes doth not he se the Lord. C   Wherfore then were ye not afrayed to speake agaynst my seruaunt Moses? And the Lorde was moued vnto wrath agaynst them, and he went his waye: and the cloude departed from the tabernacle. And beholde, Mir Iam was become ^note leprous, as it were snowe. And Aaron looked vpon Mir Iam, and beholde, she was leprous, and Aaron sayde vnto Moses: I besech the my Lorde, put not the synne vpon vs, which we haue folishly commytted and synned. Oh, let her not be as one that commeth out of hys mothers wombe, and whose halfe flesh is eaten awaye.

D   And Moses cryed vnto the Lorde, saying: Heale her, O God, I beseche the. And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: If her father had &rhand; spyt in her face, shulde she not be ashamed seuen dayes? let her be shutte out of the hoost seuen dayes, and after that, let her be receaued in agayne. And Mir Iam was shut out of the hoost seu&ebar; dayes: and the people remoued not, tyll she was brought in agayn. ^noteAnd afterward the people remoued from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wyldernes of Pharan. ¶ The .xiij. Chapter. ¶ Certayne men are sent to searche the lande of Canaan.

A   And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saying: ^note Sende m&ebar; out to searche the lande of Canaan, which I geue vnto the chyldren of Israel: of euery trybe of their fathers shall ye sende a man, and let them all be suche as are rulars among them. And Moses at the commaundement of the Lorde sent forth out of the wyldernes of Pharan suche men as were all heades of the chyldren of Israel: Their names are these.

Of the trybe of Ruben, Sammua the sonne of Zacur. Of the trybe of Symeon, Saphat the sonne of Hori. Of the trybe of Iuda, Caleb the sonne of Iephune. Of the trybe of Isachar, Igeal the sonne of Ioseph. Of the tribe of Ephraim, &rhand; Osea the sonne of Nun. Of þe; trybe of Ben Iamin, Palthi the sonne of Raphu. Of the trybe of Zabulon, Gadiel the sonne of Sodi. Of the tribe of Ioseph, namelye of the trybe of Manasse, Gaddi the sonne of Susi. B   Of the trybe of Dan, Amiel the sonne of Gemali. Of the trybe of Aser, Sethur the sonne of Michael. Of the trybe of Nephtali, Nahebi the sonne of Uaphsi. Of the trybe of Gad, Guel the sonne of Machi. These are the names of the men, which Moses sent to spye oute the lande. And Moses called the name of Osea the sonne of Nun, Iosua.

And Moses sent them forth to spye oute the lande of Canaan, and sayde vnto them: get you vp thys waye southwarde, that ye maye go vp into the hye contrey, and se the lande what maner thyng it is, ∧ the people that dwelleth therin: whyther they be str&obar;ge or weake, ether fewe or many, and what the lande is þt; they dwell in, whyther it be good or bad: and what maner of cyties they be, þt; they dwell in, whyther they dwell in tentes or walled townes: and what maner of l&abar;de it is: whether it be fat or leane, and whether there be trees therin or not. Be of a good corage, and brynge of the frute of the lande. And it was about the tyme that grapes are fyrst rype.

C   And so they went vp, ∧ searched out the lande from the wildernesse of Zin vnto Rehob, as men come to Hemath, ∧ they ascended vnto the south, and came vnto Hebron, where Ahim&abar; was ∧ Sesai ∧ Thalmani,

The people murmur. the sonnes of Enack. Hebron was buylt seuen yere before &rhand; Zoan in Egipt. And they came vnto þe; ryuer of Escol, and cut downe there a braunch with one cloustre of grapes and twayne bare it vpon a staffe: and they brought also of the pomgranates and of the fygges. And the place was called the ryuer Escol: because of þe; cloustre of grapes which the children of Israel cut downe thence.

D   And they turned back agayne from searchynge of the lande after fourty dayes. And they went and came to Moses and Aaron, and vnto all the multitude of the chyldren of Israel, in the wildernes of Pharan: which is Cades, and brought them worde, and also vnto all the c&obar;gregacion, and shewed th&ebar; the frute of the lande. And they tolde hym, and sayde: we came vnto the lande whether thou sendedst vs, and surely it floweth with mylke and honye: and here is of the frute of it. Neuerthelesse, the people be stronge that dwell in the lande, and the cityes are walled and exceadynge greate: and moreouer, we sawe the chlldr&ebar; of Enack there. The Amaleckes dwell in the south contrey, and the Hethites, Iebusites, ∧ the Amorites dwell in the mountaynes, ∧ the Cananites dwell by the see, and by the coaste of Iordan.

And Caleb stylled the (murmur that was raysed vp.) of the people before Moses, saying: we wyll go vp, and conquerre it: for we be able to ouercome it. But the men that went vp with hym, sayde: We be not able to go vp against þe; people: for they are str&obar;ger th&abar; we. And they brought vp an euell reporte of the lande which they had searched, saying vnto the children of Israel: The land which we haue gone thorowe to searche it out, is a lande that &rhand; eateth vp the inhabiters therof: and the people that we sawe in it, are m&ebar; of a greate stature. And there we sawe also gyauntes, the chyldren of Enack, which come of the gyauntes. And we semed in oure syght as it were greshoppers, and so we did in theyr syght. ¶ The .xiij. Chapter. ¶ The people murmur agaynst God, and wolde haue stoned Caleb ∧ Iosue. The searchers of the lande dye. Amalech kylleth the Israelites.

A   And all the multitude of þe; people cryed out, and wepte thorowout that nyght, and all the chyldren of Israel murmured agaynst Moses and Aaron.

And the whole congregacyon sayde vnto them: wolde God that we hadd dyed in the lande of Egypte, eyther that we had dyed in thys wildernes. Wherfore hath the Lorde brought vs vnto thys lande to fall vpon the swearde: and that our wyues, and oure children shulde be a praye? Were it not better, that we retourne vnto Egypte The people murmur. agayne? And they sayde one to another: We wyll make a captayne, and retourne vnto Egipt agayne.

B   But Moses and Aaron fell on theyr faces before all the congregacyon and multytude of the chyldren of Israel. And Iosua the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephune (which were of them that searched the lande) rent theyr clothes, and spake vnto all the companye of the chyldren of Israel, sayinge: The lande which we walked thorowe to searche it, is a very good lande. If the Lorde hath lust to vs, he wyll brynge vs into this lande and geue it vs, which is such a lande as floweth with mylke and honye, But in any wyse rebell not ye agaynst the Lorde. ^noteNeyther nede ye to feare the people of the lande: for they are but &rhand; bread for vs. Theyr &rhand; &club; shadowe is departed from them, and the Lorde is with vs, feare them not therfore.

But all they which were in that multytude, bade stone them with stones. And the glorye of the Lorde appeared in the tabernacle of wytnesse, before all the chyldren of Israel. And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: How longe do this people prouoke me, C   and howe longe will it be yer they beleue me: for all þe; signes which I haue shewed am&obar;g th&ebar;? I wyll smyte them with the pestilence and destroie them: and wyll make of the a greater nacion and a myghtier then they.

And Moses sayde vnto the Lorde: then the Egipcyans shall heare it, for þu; broughtest thys people in thy myght from amonge them. And it wylbe tolde to the inhabyters of this lande also: for they haue hearde lykewyse, that thou Lorde art amonge this people: and that thou Lorde art sene face to face, and that thy cloude standeth ouer them, and that ^note thou goest before them by daye tyme in a pyller of a cloude, and in a pyller of fyer by nyght. If thou shalt kyll all thys people as they were but one man, then the nacyons which haue hearde the fame of the, wyll saye: The Lorde is not able to brynge in this people into the lande which he sware vnto them: but hath slayne them in the wildernesse.

And nowe I besech the, let the power of my Lorde be greate, accordyng as thou hast spoken, saying: the Lorde is longe yer he be angrye, and full of mercy, and suffereth iniquitie, and synne, and &club; &rhand; leaueth no man innocent, and visiteth the vnryghteousnesse of the fathers vpon the chyldren, D   in the third and fourth generacyon: be mercyfull I beseche the vnto the synne of thys people, accordynge vnto thy greate mercye, as thou hast forgeuen this people from Egipt, euen vntyll nowe.

And the Lorde sayde: I haue forgeuen

The people murmur. it, according to thy request. But &rhand; as truly as I lyue, all the erth shalbe &rhand; fylled &wt; the glorye of the Lorde. But all those men which haue sene my glory and my miracles which I dyd in Egipt and in the wildernes and haue tempted me nowe thys .x. tymes, and will not herk&ebar; vnto my voyce, shall not se the lande which I sware vnto their fathers: nether shall any of them that prouoked me se it. But my seruaunt ^note Caleb: with wh&obar; there was another maner of sprete: and because he hath folowed me vnto þe; vtmost, hym will I brynge into the lande whiche he hath walked in, and his seed shall inheret it, and also þe; Amalekites ∧ Cananites whiche dwell in the playne contreye. E   Tomorowe turne you, and get you into the wildernesse: euen by the waye of the redd see.

And the Lorde spake vnto Moses ∧ Aaron, saying: howe longe doth this euell multitude murmur agaynst me? I haue heard þe; murmuringes of the chyldr&ebar; of Israel with the which they murmur agaynst me. Tell them therfore: As truly as I lyue (sayth the Lorde) I will do vnto you, euen as ye haue spoken in myne eares. Youre carkasses shall lye in this wildernes. And all you that were tolde thorowout your nombres, from .xx. yeare and aboue (which haue murmured against me) shalt not come into the land, ouer which &rhand; I lyfted vp myne hande, to make you dwell therin, F   saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, and Iosua the sonne of Nun.

But your children which ye saye shulde be a praye, them I will bring in, ∧ they shall knowe the land which ye haue refused, and your carkasses shall lye in this wyldernesse. And your children shall wander in this wildernes .xl. yeres, ∧ suffer for your &rhand; whordom, vntyll your carkasses be wasted in the wildernes, after the nombre of the dayes in which ye searched out the lande euen fourty daies, ^note euery daye for a yeare shall ye beare your vnrighteousnes euen .xl. yeare, &club; and ye shall knowe my displeasure. I the Lorde haue sayde that I wyll do it vnto all thys euell congregacion that are gathered together agaynst me. For in this wildernes they shalbe consumed, and here they shall dye.

And the men which Moses sent to search the l&abar;de, ∧ which (when they came agayne) made all the people to murmure &rhand; before hym, and brought vp a sclaunder vpon the lande, euen those men that did bring vp that scla&ubar;der vpon it, as though it had bene euell dyed in a greate ^note plage before þe; Lord. But Iosua the sonne of Nun ∧ Calleb the sonne of Iephune which were of the men þt; wente to search the lande, lyued styll. And Moses tolde these sayinges vnto all the chyldren of Israel, and the people toke great sorowe.

G   And they rose vp early in the morninge, and gat them vp into the toppe of the mo&ubar;tayne, sayinge: ^note lo, we be here, and wyll go vp vnto the place of which the Lorde sayde vnto vs, for we haue synned. And Moses sayde: wherfore wyll ye go on thys maner, beyonde the worde of the Lorde? it will not come well to passe: go not vp therfore: (for the Lorde is not amonge you) that ye be not slayne before your enemyes. For the Amaleckytes and the Cananites are there before you, and ye will fall vpon the sweard, &club; because ye are turned awaye fr&obar; the Lord, and and the Lorde will not be with you.

But they &club; presumed obstinatly to go vp into the hyll top. Neuerthelater, the arck of the testament of the Lorde, and Moses departed not out of the hoost. Then the Amaleckites and the Cananites which dwelt in that hyll, came downe, and smote th&ebar;, and hewed them euen vnto Horma. ¶ The .xv. Chapter. ¶ The drynckofferinges of them that enter into the lande. The punyshement of hym that synneth of arrogancye or pryde.

And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, sayinge: speake vnto the children of Israel and saye vnto A    them: ^note when ye be come into the lande of your habitaci&obar;s, which I geue vnto you, ∧ wyll offer an offerynge vnto the Lorde. Namely, a burntoffering or a speciall sacrifyce, eyther of a vowe or of a wyllinge mynde, and &rhand; in youre princypall feastes, to make a swete fauoure vnto the Lorde, of the oxen or of the flocke.

Then ^note lett hym that offereth hys offeryng vnto the Lorde, bring also a meatofferinge of a tenth deale of floure, myngled &wt; the fourth parte of an hin of oyle, ∧ þe; fourth part of an hin of wyne for a drynckoffering, and offer with þe; burntofferyng or any other offeryng: when it is a lambe. Or yf it be a ram, thou shalt offer for a meate offerynge, two tenth deales of floure, myngled with þe; thyrd part of an hin of oyle: and for a drinkofferynge, thou shalt offer the thyrde parte of an hyn of wyne for a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde.

B   And when thou offerest a bullocke for a burntoffring or for a speciall vowe or peace offering vnto the Lorde, let him bring with a bullock a meateoffering of .iij. tenth deales of floure myngled with halfe an hin of oyle. And thou shalt bryng for a drinckofferynge euen halfe an hin of wyne, for an offering of a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde. After thys maner, shall it be done for an oxe, or for a ram, or for a l&abar;be or a kyd. Loke what nombre thou makest in these, such a n&obar;bre shalt þu; make in th&ebar; also. And according to the n&obar;bre of suche offeringes, thou shalt encrease þe; meatofferynges and the drynckofferinges.

The man stoned to death.

All that are of your selues shall do these thinges after this maner, to offer an offeringe of swete sauour vnto the Lorde. And yf a straunger sogeorne with you, or whoso euer be amonge you in your generaci&obar;s, and will offer an offering of a swete sauour vnto the Lorde: euen as ye do, so he shall do. One ordinaunce shalbe both for you of the congregacion, and also for the straunger. It shalbe an ordinaunce for euer in your generacions, both vnto you and to the straunger before the Lorde. One lawe and one maner shall serue, both for you and for the straunger that sogeorneth with you.

C   And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, sayinge: speake vnto the children of Israel, and saye vnto them: ^note When ye become into the lande to the which I bring you, then wh&ebar; ye will eate of the bread of the lande, ye shall take vp an heueoffering vnto the Lorde. Ye shall take vp a cake of the fyrst of your dow for an heueoffering, ^note as ye do the heueoffering of the barne, euen so ye shall heue it. Of the fyrst of your dowe ye shall geue vnto the Lorde an heueoffering in your generacions.

And yf ye ouerse your selues, and obserue not all these commaundementes, which the Lorde hath spoken vnto Moses: euen all that the Lorde hath commaunded you by the hande of Moses, from the fyrst daie that the Lorde commaunded Moses, and hence forwarde amonge youre generacions. Yf it happen that ought is commytted ignorantlye of the congregacion, all the multitude shall offer a bullocke for a burntofferyng, to be a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde, with the meatoffering and drynckoffering therto, acdynge to the maner, and an he goate for synne. And the preast shall make an atonement for all the multitude of the children of Israel, and it shalbe forgeu&ebar; them: for it is ignoraunce. And they shall brynge theyr offeryng for a sacrifyce vnto the Lorde: ∧ theyr synofferynge before the Lorde for their ignoraunce. And it shalbe forgeuen vnto all the multitude of the chyldren of Israel, and vnto the straunger that dwelleth amonge you: seinge all the people were in ignora&ubar;ce. ^noteIf any one soule synne thorow ignoraunce, he shall brynge a she goate of a yeare olde for synne. D   And the preaste shall make an atonem&ebar;t for the soule that synned ignorauntly, with the synneofferynge before the Lorde to reconcyle hym: and that it maye be forgeuen hym. And both thou that art borne of the children of Israel and the straunger that dwelleth amonge you, shall haue both one lawe, whoso doeth synne thorowe ignoraunce.

But the soule that doeth ought presumptuouslye, whyther he be an Israelite or a straunger, the same blasphemeth the Lorde. The man stoned to death. And that soule shalbe roted out from am&obar;g his people, because he hath despysed þe; word of the Lorde, and hath broken hys c&obar;maundement, that soule therfore shall perish, and his synne shalbe vpon him.

And whyle the chyldren of Israel were in the wyldernesse, they founde a man that &rhand; gathered styckes vpon the ^note Sabboth daye. And they that founde him gatherynge styckes, brought hym vnto Moses and Aaron and vnto all the congregacyon: ^note and they put him inwarde, seyng it was not declared what shulde be done vnto him. And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: Let the man die: and let all the multitude stone him with stones without the hoost. And all the multitude brought him without the hoost, ∧ stoned him with stones, and he dyed as þe; Lord commaunded Moses.

And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, saying: speake vnto the children of Israel and byd them: that they ^note make them gardes in the quarters of theyr garmentes thorow out their generacions, and put vp&obar; the garde of the quarters a ryband of yelow sylke: And the garde shalbe vnto you to loke vp&obar; it, that ye maye remembre all the comma&ubar;dementes of the Lorde, and do them: and &club; that ye seke not after youre awne hert or youre awne eyes: after the which ye vse to go a whoring: but ye shall remembre rather and do all my c&obar;maundementes, and be holy vnto youre God: I am the Lorde youre God, which broughte you oute of the lande of Egypte, for to be youre God. I am the Lorde youre God. ¶ The .xvj. Chapter. ¶ The rebellyon of Corah, Dathan and Abyram.
