1   And our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:

2   Speake to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shal be entred into the Land of your habitation, which I wil geue you,

3   and shal make oblation to the Lord for an holocaust, or victime, paying vowes, or voluntarily offering giftes, or in your solemnities burning a sweete sauour vnto the Lord, of oxen or of sheepe:

4   whosoeuer immolateth the victime, shal offer a sacrifice of flowre, the tenth part of an ephi tempered with oyle, which shal haue in measure the fourth part of an hin:

5   and wine of the same measure to powre the libamentes shal he geue for the holocaust or for the victime. For euerie lambe

6   and ramme there shal be a sacrifice of flowre of two tenthes, which shal be tempered with oile the third part of the an hin:

7   and wine for the libamente, the third part of same measure, shal he offer for a sweete sauour to the Lord.

8   But when thou makest an holocaust or hoste of oxen, to fulfil thy vow or for pacifique victimes,

9   thou shalt geue for euerie oxe three tenthes of flowre tempered with oile, which shal haue halfe the measure of a hin:

10   and wine to powre libamentes of the same measure for an oblation of most sweete sauour to the Lord.

11   So shalt thou doe

12   for euerie oxe and ramme and lambe and buckegoate.

13   As wel they that are borne in the countrie as the strangers

14   after one rite shal offer sacrifices.

Precepts.

15   There shal be al one precept and iudgement as wel to your selues as to the strangers of the land.

16   Our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:

17   Speake to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them:

18   When you are come into the land, which I wil geue you,

19   and shal eate of the breades of that countrie, you shal separate first fruites to the Lord

20   of your meates. As of your barne floores you separate first fruites,

21   so of your pastes shal you geue first fruites to the Lord.

22   And if through ignorance you omitte any of these thinges, which the Lord hath spoken to Moyses,

23   and by him hath commanded you, from the day that he beganne to command and so forward,

24   and the multitude haue forgotten to do it: they shal offer a calfe out of the heard, an holocauste for a most sweete sauour to the Lord, and the sacrifice and libamentes therof, as the ceremonies require, and a buckegoate for sinne:

25   and the priest shal pray for al the multitude of the children of Israel: and it shal be forgeuen them, because they sinned not wittingly, offering notwithstanding burnt sacrifice to the Lord for them selues and for their sinne and errour:

26   and it shal be forgeuen al the people of the children of Israel, and the strangers, that seiourne among them: because it is the fault of al the people through ignorance.

27   But if one soule shal sinne vnwitting, he shal offer a she goate of a yeare old for his sinne:

28   and the priest shal pray for him, because he sinned vnwitting before the Lord: and he shal obteine him pardon, and it shal be forgeuen him.

29   As wel to them that are borne in the countrie as to the strangers one law shal be for al, that sinne by ignorance.

30   But the soule, that ^note through pride committeth any thing, whether he be borne in the countrie, or a stranger, (because he hath bene rebellious against the Lord) shal perish out of his people:

31   for he hath contemned the word of the Lord, and made his precept of no effect: therfore shal he be destroyed, and shal beare his iniquitie.

32   And it came to passe, when the children of Israel were in the wildernesse, and had found a man gathering stickes on the Sabbath day,

33   they presented him to Moyses and Aaron and the whole multitude.

34   Who shut him into prison, not knowing what they should doe with him.

35   And our Lord said to Moyses, ^note dying let this man die, let al the multitude stone him without the campe,

36   And when they had brought him out, they stoned

Schisme. him, and he died as our Lord had commanded.

37   Our Lord also said to moyses:

38   Speake to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, that they make them selues ^note fringes in the corners of their garmentes, putting in them ribandes of hyacinth:

39   which when they shal see, they may rem&ebar;ber al the commandements of the Lord, and not folow their owne cogitations and eies fornicating after diuers thinges,

40   but rather mindful of the preceptes of the Lord may do them, and be holie to their God.

41   I the Lord your God, that brought you out of the Land of Ægypt, that I might be your God.
