And the girdle of fine twined linen, and of blew silke, and purple, and skarlet, euen of needle worke, as the Lord had commanded Moses.


text:
Finally they made the plate for the holy crowne of fine golde, and wrote vpon it a superscription like to the grauing of a signet, HOLINES TO THE LORD.


text:
And they tied vnto it a lace of blewe silke to fasten it on hie vpon the miter, as the Lorde had commanded Moses.


text:
Thus was all the worke of the Tabernacle, euen of the Tabernacle of the Congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to al that the Lord had commanded Moses: so dyd they.


text:
Afterwarde they brought the Tabernacle vnto Moses, the Tabernacle and al his instruments, his taches, his boards, his barres, and his pillers, and his sockets,

Finally, the ministring garmentes to serue in the Sanctuarie, and the holy garmentes for Aaron the Priest, and his sonnes garmentes to minister in the Priestes office.


text:
According to all that the LORD <n>Signifying that in God's matters man may neither add, nor diminish.</n> commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.


text:
And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses <n>Praised God for the peoples diligence and prayed for them.</n> blessed them.


text:
On the <n>After that Moses had been 40 days and 40 nights in the mountain, that is, from the beginning of August to the tenth of September, he came down, and caused this work to be done: which when finished, was set up in Abib, half March and half April.</n> first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.


text:
Also thou shalt bring in the Table, and set it in order as it doth require: thou shalt also bring in the Candlesticke, and light his lampes,


text:
And thou shalt set the altar <n>That is, the altar of perfume, or to burn incense on.</n> of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the <n>This hanging or veil was between the sanctuary and the court.</n> hanging of the door to the tabernacle.


text:
Moreouer, thou shalt set the burnt offering Altar before the doore of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation.


text:
And thou shalt set the Lauer betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and put water therein.


text:
After, thou shalt take the anoynting oyle, and anoynt the Tabernacle, and all that is therein, and halowe it with all the instruments thereof, that it may be holy.


text:
And thou shalt anoynt the Altar of the burnt offring, and all his instrumentes, and shalt sanctifie the Altar, that it may bee an altar most holie.


text:
Then thou shalt bring Aaron &amp; his sonnes vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and wash them with water.


text:
And thou shalt put vpon Aaron the holy garmentes, and shalt anoynt him, and sanctifie him, that he may minister vnto me in the Priestes office.


text:
And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing <n>Till both the priesthood and the ceremonies should end, which is at Christ's coming.</n> shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.


text:
And it came to pass in the first month in <n>After they came out of Egypt, (Num_7:1).</n> the second year, on the first [day] of the month, [that] the tabernacle was reared up.


text:
Then Moses reared vp the Tabernacle and fastened his sockets, and set vp the boardes thereof, and put in the barres of it, and reared vp his pillars.


text:
And he spred the couering ouer the Tabernacle, and put the couering of that couering on hie aboue it, as the Lorde had commaunded Moses.


text:
And he took and put the <n>That is, the tables of the law; (Exo_31:18, Exo_34:29).</n> testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:


text:
He brought also the Arke into the Tabernacle, and hanged vp the couering vaile, and couered the Arke of the Testimonie, as the Lord had commanded Moses.


text:
Furthermore he put the Table in the Tabernacle of the Congregation in the Northside of the Tabernacle, without the vaile,


text:
Also he put the Candlesticke in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, ouer against the Table toward ye Southside of the Tabernacle.


text:
And he set up the hanging [at] the <n>Between the sanctuary and the court.</n> door of the tabernacle.


text:
After, he set the burnt offring Altar without the doore of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and offered the burnt offering and the sacrifice thereon, as the Lord had commanded Moses.


text:
Likewise he set the Lauer betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and powred water therein to wash with.


text:
When they went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and when they approched to the Altar, they washed, as the Lord had commanded Moses.


text:
Finally, he reared vp the court rounde about the Tabernacle and the Altar, and hanged vp the vaile at the court gate: so Moses finished the worke.


text:
Then the cloud couered the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the glorie of the Lorde filled the Tabernacle.


text:
So Moses could not enter into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, because the cloude abode thereon, and the glorie of the Lorde filled the Tabernacle.


text:
Nowe when the cloude ascended vp from the Tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward in all their iourneyes.


text:
For <n>Thus the presence of God preserved and guided them night and day, till they came to the land promised.</n> the cloud of the LORD [was] upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.


text:
And the <n>By this Moses declares that he taught nothing to the people but that which he received from God.</n> LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, <n>The Argument - As God daily by most singular benefits declared himself mindful of his Church: he did not want them to have opportunity to trust either in themselves, or to depend on others, either for lack of physical things, or anything that belonged to his divine service and religion. Therefore he ordained various kinds of duties and sacrifices, to assure them of forgiveness for their offences (if they offered them in true faith and obedience.) Also he appointed the priests and levites, their apparel, offices, conversation and portion; he showed what feasts they should observe, and when. Moreover, he declares by these sacrifices and ceremonies that the reward of sin is death, and that without the blood of Christ the innocent Lamb, there can be no forgiveness of sins. Because they should not give priority to their own inventions (which God detested, as appears by the terrible example of Nadab and Abihu) he prescribed even to the least things, what they should do, what beasts they should offer and eat, what diseases were contagious and to be avoided, how they should purge all types of filthiness and pollution, whose company they should flee, what marriages were lawful, and what customs were profitable. After declaring these things, he promised favour and blessing to those who keep his laws, and threatened his curse to those who transgressed them.</n>

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the <n>So they could offer of no other sort, but of those who were commanded.</n> cattle, [even] of the herd, and of the flock.

If his offering [be] a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the <n>Meaning, within the court of the tabernacle.</n> tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.


text:
And he shall put his hande vpon the head of the burnt offering, and it shalbe accepted to the Lorde, to be his atonement.


text:
And <n>A priest of the Levites.</n> he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the <n>Of the burnt offering, (Exo_27:1).</n> altar that [is by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.


text:
So the sonnes of Aaron the Priest shall put fire vpon the altar, and lay the wood in order vpon the fire.


text:
Then the Priestes Aarons sonnes shall lay the parts in order, the head &amp; the kall vpon the wood that is in the fire which is vpon the altar.


text:
But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, [to be] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour <n>Or a savour of rest, which pacifies the anger of the Lord.</n> unto the LORD.


text:
And if his sacrifice for the burnt offering be of the flocks (as of the sheepe, or of the goats) he shall offer a male without blemish,


text:
<n>Read (Lev_1:5).</n>And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward <n>Before the altar of the Lord.</n> before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.


text:
And he shall cut it in pieces, separating his head and his kall, and the Priest shall lay them in order vpon the wood that lyeth in the fire which is on the altar:


text:
But he shall wash the inwardes, and the legges with water, and the Priest shall offer the whole &amp; burne it vpon the altar: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire for a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde.


text:
And if his sacrifice be a burnt offring to the Lord of ye foules, then he shall offer his sacrifice of the turtle doues, or of the yong pigeons.


text:
And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and <n>The Hebrew word signifies to pinch off with the nail.</n> wring off his head, and burn [it] on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:


text:
And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the <n>On the side of the court gate in the pans which stood with ashes; (Exo_27:3).</n> east part, by the place of the ashes:


text:
And he shall cleaue it with his wings, but not deuide it asunder: and the Priest shall burne it vpon the altar vpon the wood that is in the fire: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire for a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde.


text:
And when any will offer a <n>Because the burnt offering could not be without the meat offering.</n> meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be [of] fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:


text:
And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and <n>The priest.</n> he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the <n>To signify that God remembers him that offers.</n> memorial of it upon the altar, [to be] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:


text:
And the remnant of the meat offering [shall be] Aaron's and his sons': [it is] a thing <n>Therefore no one could eat of it but the priest.</n> most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.


text:
If thou bring also a meate offring baken in the ouen, it shalbe an vnleauened cake of fine floure mingled with oyle, or an vnleauened wafer anointed with oyle.


text:
And if thy oblation [be] a <n>Which is a gift offered to God to pacify him.</n> meat offering [baken] in a pan, it shall be [of] fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.


text:
And if thy meate offring be an oblation made in the caldron, it shalbe made of fine floure with oyle.


text:
After, thou shalt bring the meate offering (that is made of these things) vnto the Lord, and shalt present it vnto the Priest, and he shall bring it to the altar,


text:
And the Priest shall take from the meate offring a memoriall of it, and shall burne it vpon the altar: for it is an oblation made by fire for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord.


text:
But that which is left of the meate offring, shalbe Aarons and his sonnes: for it is most holy of the offrings of the Lorde made by fire.


text:
All the meate offrings which ye shall offer vnto the Lorde, shalbe made without leauen: for ye shall neither burne leauen nor honie in any offring of the Lorde made by fire.


text:
As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer <n>That is, fruits which were sweet as honey, ye may offer.</n> them unto the LORD: but they shall not be burnt <n>But reserved for the priests.</n> on the altar for a sweet savour.


text:
And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the <n>Which they were bound (as by covenant) to use all sacrifices, (Num_18:19; 2Ch_13:5; Eze_43:24) or it means a sure and pure covenant.</n> covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.


text:
If then thou offer a meate offring of thy first fruites vnto the Lorde, thou shalt offer for thy meate offering of thy first fruites eares of corne dryed by the fire, and wheate beaten out of the greene eares.


text:
And the Priest shall burne the memoriall of it, euen of that that is beaten, and of the oyle of it, with all the incense thereof: for it is an offring vnto the Lorde made by fire.


text:
And if his oblation [be] a sacrifice of <n>A sacrifice of thanksgiving offered for peace and prosperity, either generally or particularly.</n> peace offering, if he offer [it] of the herd; whether [it be] a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD.

He shall also take away the two kidneis, &amp; the fat that is on them, and vpon the flankes, and the kall on the liuer with the kidneis.


text:
And Aarons sonnes shall burne it on the altar, with the burnt offering, which is vpon the wood, that is on the fire: this is a sacrifice made by fire for a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde.


text:
And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto the LORD [be] of the flock; <n>In the peace offering either male or female could be offered, but in the burnt offering only the male: so here no birds can be offered, but in the burnt offering they might: there all was consumed with fire, and in the peace offering divided.</n> male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.

And lay his hand vpon the head of his offring, &amp; shall kill it before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and Aarons sonnes shall sprinckle the blood thereof round about vpon the altar.

And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering <n>The burnt offering was completely consumed, and of the offering made by fire only the inner parts were burnt: the shoulder and breast, with the two jaws and the stomach were the priests, and the rest his that offered.</n> an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat thereof, [and] the whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the backbone; and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that [is] upon the inwards,

Also hee shall take away the two kidneis, with the fat that is vpon them, &amp; vpon the flankes, and the kall vpon the liuer with the kidneis.

Then the Priest shall burne it vpon the altar, as the meat of an offring made by fire vnto the Lord.


text:
And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before <n>Meaning, at the north side of the altar, (Lev_1:1).</n> the tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about.

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through <n>That is, of negligence or ignorance, especially in the ceremonial law: for otherwise the punishment for a crime is determined according to the transgression, (Num_15:22).</n> ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD [concerning things] which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:

If <n>Meaning, the high priest.</n> the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.

He shall take away also the two kidneis, and the fat that is vpon them, and vpon the flankes, and the kall vpon the liuer with the kidneis,

And the Priest shal doe with this bullocke, as he did with the bullocke for his sinne: so shall he do with this: so the Priest shal make an atonement for them, and it shalbe forgiuen them.

For he shal carie the bullocke without the hoste, and burne him as he burned the first bullock: for it is an offring for the sinne of the Congregation.

But if he be not able to bring a sheepe, he shall bring for his trespas which he hath committed, two turtle doues, or two yong pigeons vnto the Lord, one for a sinne offring, and the other for a burnt offring.

And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon <n>Upon his secret parts, (Exo_28:42).</n> his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the <n>In the ash pans appointed for that use.</n> altar.


text:
After, he shal put off his garments, and put on other raiment, and cary the ashes foorth without the hoste vnto a cleane place.


text:
But the fire vpon the altar shall burne thereon and neuer be put out: wherefore the Priest shall burne wood on it euery morning, and lay the burnt offering in order vpon it, and he shall burne thereon the fat of the peace offrings.


text:
Also this is the lawe of the meate offring, which Aarons sonnes shall offer in the presence of the Lorde, before the altar.

He shall euen take thence his handfull of fine flowre of the meate offring and of the oyle, &amp; all the incense which is vpon the meat offring, and shall burne it vpon the altar for a sweete sauour, as a memoriall therefore vnto the Lorde:

But the rest thereof shall Aaron and his sonnes eate: it shalbe eaten without leauen in the holy place: in the court of the Tabernacle of the Congregation they shall eate it.


text:
It shall not be <n>Or, kneaded with leaven and baked.</n> baken with leaven. I have given it [unto them for] their portion of my offerings made by fire; it [is] most holy, as [is] the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.

Likewise this [is] the law of the <n>Which is for the smaller sins, and such as are committed by ignorance.</n> trespass offering: it [is] most holy.

In the place <n>At the court gate.</n> where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar.


text:
And <n>the high priest.</n> he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards,

After he shall take away the two kidneis, with the fat that is on them &amp; vpon the flankes, and the kall on the liuer with the kidneis.

Then the Priest shall burne them vpon the altar, for an offring made by fire vnto the Lorde: this is a trespasse offring.


text:
All the males among the Priestes shall eate thereof, it shalbe eaten in the holy place, for it is most holy.


text:
As the sin offering [is], so [is] the trespass offering: [there is] one <n>The same ceremonies, even though this word trespass signifies less then sin.</n> law for them: the priest that maketh atonement <n>Meaning, the rest which is left and not burnt.</n> therewith shall have [it].


text:
Also the Priest that offereth any mans burnt offring, shall haue the skinne of the burnt offring which he hath offered.


text:

text:
Also the flesh of his peace offerings, for thankesgiuing, shalbe eaten the same day that it is offered: he shall leaue nothing thereof vntill the morning.

But if the sacrifice of his offering [be] a <n>If he makes a vow to offer: or else the flesh of the peace offerings must be eaten the same day.</n> vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:


text:
And if [any] of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall <n>The sin for which he offered shall remain.</n> bear his iniquity.


text:
And the flesh that toucheth any unclean <n>After it is sacrificed.</n> [thing] shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and <n>Of the peace offering that is clean.</n> as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof.

Speake vnto the children of Israel, &amp; say, Hee that offereth his peace offerings vnto the Lorde, shall bring his gifte vnto the Lorde of his peace offerings:

His own <n>And should not send it by another.</n> hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved [for] a wave offering before the LORD.

Then the Priest shall burne the fatte vpon the Altar, and the breast shall be Aarons and his sonnes.


text:
The same that offreth the blood of ye peace offrings, and the fatte, among the sonnes of Aaron, shall haue the right shoulder for his parte.


text:
For the breast shaken to and fro, and the shoulder lifted vp, haue I taken of the children of Israel, euen of their peace offrings, and haue giuen them vnto Aaron the Priest and vnto his sonnes by a statute for euer from among the children of Israel.


text:
This [is the portion] of the <n>that is, his privilege, reward and portion.</n> anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day [when] he presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest's office;


text:
The which portions the Lorde commanded to giue them in the day that he anointed them from among the children of Israel, by a statute for euer in their generations.


text:
This [is] the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the <n>Which sacrifice was offered when the priests were consecrated, (Exo_29:22).</n> consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;


text:
Which the Lorde commaunded Moses in the mount Sinai, when he commanded the children of Israel to offer their giftes vnto the Lorde in the wildernesse of Sinai.


text:
Take Aaron and his sonnes with him, and the garments and the anointing oyle, and a bullocke for the sinne offring, &amp; two rammes, and a basket of vnleauened bread,


text:
So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him, &amp; the companie was assembled at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.


text:
And put vpon him the coate, and girded him with a girdle, &amp; clothed him with the robe, and put the Ephod on him, which he girded with the broydred garde of the Ephod, and bounde it vnto him therewith.


text:
And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, [even] upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the <n>So called, because this superscription, «holiness to the Lord» was graven in it.</n> holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses.


text:
And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the <n>That is, the holiest of holies, the sanctuary and the court.</n> tabernacle and all that [was] therein, and sanctified them.


text:
And sprinkled thereof vpon the altar seuen times, and anointed the altar and all his instruments, and the lauer, and his foote, to sanctifie them)


text:
After, Moses brought Aarons sonnes, and put coates vpon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonets vpon their heades, as the Lorde had commanded Moses.


text:
Then he brought the bullocke for the sinne offring, and Aaron and his sonnes put their handes vpon the head of the bullocke for the sinne offring.


text:
And he slew [it]; and Moses took the blood, and put [it] upon the horns of the <n>Of the burnt offering.</n> altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified <n>To offer for the sins of the people.</n> it, to make reconciliation upon it.


text:
Then he tooke all the fatte that was vpon the inwardes, and the kall of the liuer and the two kidneis, with their fat, which Moses burned vpon the Altar.


text:
But the bullock, and his <n>In other burnt offerings, which are not of consecration, or offering for himself, the priest has the skin, (Lev_7:8).</n> hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.


text:
Also hee brought the ram for the burnt offring, and Aaron and his sonnes put their hands vpon the head of the ramme.


text:
And washed the inwardes and the legges in water: so Moses burnt the ram euery whit vpon ye Altar: for it was a burnt offring for a sweete sauour, which was made by fire vnto the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.


text:
After, he brought the other ram, the ram of consecrations, and Aaron and his sonnes layed their handes vpon the head of the ram,


text:
And he <n>Moses did this because the priests were not yet established in their office.</n> slew [it]; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put [it] upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.


text:
Then Moses brought Aarons sonnes, and put of the blood on the lap of their right eares, and vpon the thumbes of their right handes, and vpon the great toes of their right feete, and Moses sprinckled the rest of the blood vpon the Altar round about.


text:
And he tooke the fat &amp; the rumpe and all the fat that was vpon the inwards, and the kall of the liuer, and the two kidneis with their fat, &amp; the right shoulder.


text:
Also he tooke of ye basket of ye vnleauened bread that was before the Lorde, one vnleauened cake and a cake of oiled bread, &amp; one wafer, and put them on the fat, &amp; vpon the right shoulder.


text:
So hee put all in Aarons handes, and in his sonnes handes, and shooke it to and fro before the Lord.


text:
After, Moses tooke the out of their hands, &amp; burnt them vpon the altar for a burnt offring: for these were consecrations for a sweete sauour which were made by fire vnto the Lord.


text:
Likewise Moses tooke the breast of the ram of consecrations, &amp; shooke it to and fro before the Lord: for it was Moses portion, as the Lord had commanded Moses.


text:
Also Moses tooke of the anointing oyle, and of the blood which was vpon the Altar, and sprinkled it vpon Aaron, vpon his garments, and vpon his sonnes, and on his sonnes garments with him: so hee sanctified Aaron, his garments, &amp; his sonnes, and his sonnes garments with him.


text:
And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh [at] the door of the <n>At the door of the court.</n> tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that [is] in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.


text:
And ye shall not depart from the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation seuen dayes, vntill the dayes of your consecrations bee at an ende: for seuen dayes, saide the Lorde, shall hee consecrate you,


text:
Therefore shall yee abide at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation day and night, seuen dayes, and shall keepe the watch of the Lord, that ye dye not: for so I am commanded.


text:
So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the <n>By commission given to Moses.</n> hand of Moses.


text:
And it came to pass on the <n>After their consecration: for the seven days before, the priests were consecrated.</n> eighth day, [that] Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;


text:
And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a <n>Aaron enters into the possession of the priesthood: and offers the four principal sacrifices, the burnt offering, the sin offering, the peace offering, and the meat offering.</n> sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer [them] before the LORD.


text:
And vnto the children of Israel thou shalt speake, saying, Take yee an hee goate for a sinne offring, and a calfe, and a lambe, both of a yeere olde, without blemish for a burnt offring:


text:
Also a bullock, and a ramme for peace offringes, to offer before the Lorde, and a meate offring mingled with oyle: for to day the Lorde will appeare vnto you.


text:
And they brought [that] which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the <n>Before the altar where his glory appeared.</n> LORD.


text:
(For Moses had sayde, This is the thing, which the Lord commaunded that ye should do, and the glory of the Lord shal appeare vnto you)


text:
And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for <n>Read for the understanding of this peace, (Heb_4:5, Heb_7:27).</n> thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.


text:
Aaron therefore went vnto the Altar, and killed the calfe of the sinne offring, which was for himselfe.


text:
And the sonnes of Aaron brought ye blood vnto him, and he dipt his finger in the blood, and put it vpon the hornes of the Altar, and powred the rest of the blood at the foote of the Altar.


text:
But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he <n>That is, he laid them in order, and so they were burnt when the Lord sent down fire.</n> burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.


text:
After, he slewe the burnt offering, and Aarons sonnes brought vnto him the blood, which he sprinckled round about vpon the Altar.


text:
Also they brought the burnt offring vnto him with the pieces thereof, and the head, and he burnt them vpon the Altar.


text:
And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and <n>All this must be understood of the preparation of the sacrifices which were burnt after, (Lev_9:24).</n> burnt [them] upon the burnt offering on the altar.


text:
Then he offred the peoples offring, and tooke a goate, which was the sinne offring for the people, and slewe it: and offred it for sinne, as the first:


text:
He presented also the meate offring, &amp; filled his hand thereof, and beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning he burnt this vpon the Altar.


text:
He slewe also the bullock, and the ram for the peace offrings, that was for the people, and Arons sonnes brought vnto him the blood, which he sprinkled vpon the Altar round about,


text:
With the fat of the bullocke, and of the ram, the rumpe, and that which couereth the inwards and the kidneis, and the kall of the liuer.


text:
And the <n>Of the bullock and the ram.</n> breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved [for] a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.


text:
And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and <n>Because the altar was near the sanctuary, which was the upper end, therefore he is said to come down.</n> came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.


text:
And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and <n>Or prayed for the people.</n> blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.


text:
And there came a fire out from the Lord and consumed vpon the Altar the burnt offring and the fatte: which when all the people sawe, they gaue thankes, and fell on their faces.


text:
And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered <n>Not taken from the altar, which was sent from heaven, and endured till the captivity of Babylon.</n> strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.


text:
Then Moses said unto Aaron, This [is it] that the LORD spake, saying, I will be <n>I will punish them that serve me in other ways than I have commanded, not sparing the chief, that the people may fear and praise my judgments.</n> sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.


text:
And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan the sonnes of Vzziel, the vncle of Aaron, &amp; saide vnto them, Come neere, cary your brethre from before the Sanctuarie out of the hoste.


text:
And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, <n>As though you lamented for them, preferring your carnal affection to God's just judgment; (Lev_19:18; Deu_14:1).</n> Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath <n>In destroying Nadab and Abihu the chief, and menacing the rest, unless they repent.</n> kindled.


text:
And go not yee out from the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, least ye dye: for the anointing oyle of the Lorde is vpon you: and they did according to Moses commaundement.


text:
Thou shalt not drinke wine nor strong drinke, thou, nor thy sonnes with thee, when yee come into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, lest ye die: this is an ordinance for euer throughout your generations,


text:
That ye may put difference betweene the holy and the vnholy, and betweene the cleane and the vncleane,


text:
And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lorde hath commaunded them by the hand of Moses.


text:
Then Moses saide vnto Aaron and vnto Eleazar and to Ithamar his sonnes that were left, Take the meate offring that remaineth of the offrings of the Lorde, made by fire, and eate it without leauen beside ye altar: for it is most holy:


text:
And ye shall eate it in the holy place, because it is thy duetie and thy sonnes duety of the offringes of the Lorde made by fire: for so I am commannded.


text:
And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy <n>For the breast and shoulders of the peace offerings might be brought to their families, so that their daughters might eat of them, as also of the offerings of first fruits, the first born, and the Easter lamb, (Lev_22:12-13).</n> daughters with thee: for [they be] thy due, and thy sons' due, [which] are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.


text:
The heaue shoulder, and the shaken breast shall they bring with the offringes made by fire of the fat, to shake it to and fro before the Lord, and it shalbe thine and thy sonnes with thee by a lawe for euer, as the Lord hath commaunded.


text:
And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron [which were] <n>And not consumed as Nadab and Abihu.</n> left [alive], saying,


text:
Wherfore haue ye not eaten the sinne offring in the holy place, seeing it is most Holie? &amp; God hath giuen it you, to beare the iniquitie of the Congregation, to make an atonement for them before the Lorde.


text:
Beholde, the blood of it was not brought within the holy place: ye should haue eaten it in the holy place, as I commaunded.


text:
And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day <n>That is, Nadab and Abihu.</n> have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and [if] I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD?


text:
And when Moses heard [that], he was <n>Moses bore with his infirmity, considering his great sorrow, but does not leave an example to forgive them that maliciously transgress the commandment of God.</n> content.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These [are] the beasts which ye <n>Or, of which ye may eat.</n> shall eat among all the beasts that [are] on the earth.


text:
Whatsoever parteth the <n>He notes four types of beasts, some that chew the cud only, and some that only have the hoof cleft. Others neither chew the cud, nor have the hoof cleft, and the fourth both chew the cud and have the hoof divided, which may be eaten.</n> hoof, and is clovenfooted, [and] cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.


text:
But of them that chewe the cud, or deuide the hoofe onely, of them yee shall not eate: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, &amp; deuideth not ye hoofe, he shall be vncleane vnto you.


text:
Likewise the conie, because he cheweth the cud and deuideth not the hoofe, he shall bee vncleane to you.


text:
And the swine, because he parteth ye hoofe and is clouen footed, but cheweth not the cud, he shalbe vncleane to you.


text:
Of their <n>God would that by this for a time they should be discerned as his people from the Gentiles.</n> flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they [are] unclean to you.


text:
These shall ye eate, of all that are in the waters: whatsoeuer hath finnes &amp; skales in ye waters, in the seas, or in the riuers, them shal ye eate.


text:
And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that <n>As little fish begotten in the slime.</n> move in the waters, and of any <n>As they which come of generation.</n> living thing which [is] in the waters, they [shall be] an abomination unto you:


text:
They, I say, shalbe an abomination to you: ye shall not eate of their flesh, but shall abhorre their carkeis.


text:
These shal ye haue also in abomination among the foules, they shal not be eaten: for they are an abomination, the egle, and the goshauke, and the osprey:


text:
Yet these shal ye eate: of euery foule that creepeth, and goeth vpon all foure which haue their feete and legs all of one to leape withal vpon the earth,


text:
[Even] these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the <n>These were certain types of grasshoppers, which are not now properly known.</n> bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.


text:
And whosoever <n>Out of the camp.</n> beareth [ought] of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.


text:
Euery beast that hath clawes deuided, and is not clouen footed, nor cheweth the cud, such shalbe vncleane vnto you: euery one that toucheth them, shalbe vncleane.


text:
And whatsoeuer goeth vpon his pawes among all maner beastes that goeth on all foure, such shalbe vncleane vnto you: who so doth touch their carkeis shalbe vncleane vntil the euen.


text:
And he that beareth their carkeis, shal wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntill the euen: for such shalbe vncleane vnto you.


text:
These also [shall be] unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the <n>The green frog that sits on the bushes.</n> tortoise after his kind,


text:
These shall be vncleane to you among all that creepe: whosoeuer doeth touch them when they be dead, shalbe vncleane vntil the euen.


text:
And upon whatsoever [any] of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether [it be] any vessel of wood, or raiment, or <n>As a bottle or bag.</n> skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel [it be], wherein [any] work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.


text:
But euery earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoeuer is within it shalbe vncleane, and ye shal breake it.


text:
Al meate also that shalbe eaten, if any such water come vpon it, shalbe vncleane: &amp; all drinke that shalbe drunke in al such vessels shalbe vncleane.


text:
And euery thing that their carkeis fall vpon, shalbe vncleane: the fornais or the pot shalbe broken: for they are vncleane, &amp; shalbe vncleane vnto you.


text:
Nevertheless a fountain or pit, [wherein there is] plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which <n>So much of the water as touched it.</n> toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.


text:
But if [any] <n>He speaks of seed that is laid to sleep before it is sown.</n> water be put upon the seed, and [any part] of their carcase fall thereon, it [shall be] unclean unto you.


text:
If also any beast, whereof ye may eate, die, he that toucheth the carkeis thereof shal be vncleane vntil the euen.


text:
And he that eateth of the carkeis of it, shal wash his clothes and be vncleane vntil the euen: he also that beareth the carkeis of it, shal wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntil the euen.


text:
Euery creeping thing therefore that creepeth vpon the earth shalbe an abomination, and not be eaten.


text:
Whatsoeuer goeth vpon the breast, and whatsoeuer goeth vpon al foure, or that hath many feete among all creeping thinges that creepe vpon the earth, ye shal not eate of them, for they shalbe abomination.


text:
Ye shall not pollute your selues with any thing that creepeth, neither make your selues vncleane with them, neither defile your selues thereby: ye shal not, I say, be defiled by them,


text:
For I [am] the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be <n>He shows why God chose them to be his people, (1Pe_1:15).</n> holy; for I [am] holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.


text:
For I am the Lorde that brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to be your God, and that you should be holy, for I am holy.


text:
This is the law of beasts, and of foules, and of euery liuing thing that moueth in the waters, and of euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth:


text:
That there may be a difference betweene the vncleane and cleane, and betweene the beast that may be eaten, and the beast that ought not to be eaten.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean <n>So that her husband for that time could not have relations with her.</n> seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.

And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three <n>Besides the first seven days.</n> and thirty days; she shall touch no <n>As sacrifice, or such like.</n> hallowed thing, nor come into the <n>That is, into the court gate till after forty days.</n> sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.

But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two <n>Twice as long as if she gave birth to a boy.</n> weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.


text:
And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the <n>Where the burnt offerings were wont to be offered.</n> tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:


text:
Who shal offer it before the Lord, &amp; make an atonement for her: so she shalbe purged of the issue of her blood this is the law for her that hath borne a male or female.


text:
But if she bee not able to bring a lambe, she shall bring two turtles, or two yong pigeons: the one for a burnt offring, and the other for a sinne offring: and the Priest shall make an atonement for her: so she shal be cleane.


text:
When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh <n>That it may be suspected to be leprosy.</n> [like] the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:


text:
And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and [when] the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight [be] <n>That is, shrunken in, and be lower than the rest of the skin.</n> deeper than the skin of his flesh, it [is] a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.


text:
But if the white spot be in the skinne of his flesh, and seeme not to bee lower then the skin, nor the heare thereof be turned vnto white, then the Priest shall shut vp him that hath the plague, seuen dayes.


text:
After, the Priest shall looke vpon him the seuenth day: and if the plague seeme to him to abide still, and the plague growe not in the skin, the Priest shal shut him vp yet seuen dayes more.


text:
And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, [if] the plague [be] somewhat <n>As having the skin drawn together, or blackish.</n> dark, [and] the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it [is but] a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.


text:
But if the skab growe more in the skinne, after that he is seene of ye Priest for to be purged, he shall be seene of the Priest yet againe.


text:
And [if] the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him <n>Concerning his bodily disease: for his disease was not imputed to him for sin before God even though it were the punishment of sin.</n> unclean: it [is] a leprosy.


text:
And the Priest shall see him: and if the swelling be white in ye skin, &amp; haue made ye heare white, and there be rawe flesh in the swelling,


text:
It is an old leprosie in the skin of his flesh: and the Priest shall pronounce him vncleane, and shall not shut him vp, for he is vncleane.


text:
Also if the leprosie breake out in the skin, and the leprosie couer all the skin of the plague, from his head euen to his feete, wheresoeuer the Priest looketh,


text:
Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, [if] the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce [him] <n>For it is not that contagious leprosy that infects, but a form of scales which does not leave the skin raw as leprosy does.</n> clean [that hath] the plague: it is all turned white: he [is] clean.


text:
And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: [for] the raw flesh [is] <n>That is, declares that the flesh is not found, but is in danger of being leprous.</n> unclean: it [is] a leprosy.


text:
And the Priest shal beholde him and if the sore be changed into white, then the Priest shall pronounce the plague cleane, for it is cleane.


text:
And in ye place of the bile there be a white swelling, or a white spot somewhat reddish, it shal be seene of the Priest.


text:
And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it [be] in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him <n>No one was exempted, but if the priest pronounced him unclean, he was put out from among the people: as appears by the example of Mary the prophetess, (Num_12:14) and by king Uzziah, (2Ch_26:20).</n> unclean: it [is] a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.


text:
But if the Priest looke on it, &amp; there be no white heares therein, and if it bee not lower then the skin, but be darker, then the Priest shall shut him vp seuen dayes.


text:
But if the spot continue in his place, and growe not, it is a burning bile: therefore the Priest shall declare him to be cleane.


text:
Or if there be [any] flesh, in the skin whereof [there is] a hot burning, and the quick [flesh] that burneth have a <n>If he has a white spot in the place where the burning was and was later healed.</n> white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;


text:
Then the Priest shall looke vpon it: and if the heare in that spot be changed into white, and it appeare lower then the skin, it is a leprosie broken out in the burning therefore the Priest shall pronounce him vncleane: for it is the plague of leprosie.


text:
But if the Priest looke on it, and there be no white heare in the spot, and be no lower then the other skinne, but be darker, then the Priest shall shut him vp seuen dayes.


text:
After, the Priest shall looke on him the seuenth day: if it be growen abroad in the skinne, then the Priest shall pronounce him vncleane: for it is the plague of leprosie.


text:
And if the spot abide in his place, not growing in the skin, but is darke, it is a rising of the burning: the Priest shall therefore declare him cleane, for it is the drying vp of the burning.


text:
Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it [be] in sight deeper than the skin; [and there be] in it a yellow thin <n>Which was not wont to be there, or else smaller than in any other part of the body.</n> hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a dry scall, [even] a leprosy upon the head or beard.


text:
And if the Priest looke on the sore of the blacke spotte, and if it seeme not lower then the skinne, nor haue any blacke heare in it, then the Priest shall shut vp him, that hath the sore of the blacke spot, seuen dayes.


text:
After, in the seuenth day the Priest shall looke on the sore: and if the blacke spot growe not, and there be in it no yelowe heare, and the blacke spot seeme not lower then the skinne,


text:
Then he shalbe shauen, but the place of the blacke spot shall he not shaue: but the Priest shall shut vp him, that hath the blacke spot, seuen dayes more.


text:
And the seuenth day the Priest shall looke on the blacke spot: and if the blacke spot growe not in the skinne, nor seeme lower then the other skinne, then the Priest shall clense him, and hee shall wash his clothes, and be cleane.


text:
Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not <n>He shall not care whether the yellow hair is there or not.</n> seek for yellow hair; he [is] unclean.


text:
But if ye blacke spot seeme to him to abide, and that blacke heare growe therein, the blacke spot is healed, he is cleane, and the Priest shall declare him to be cleane.


text:
Then the Priest shall consider: and if the spots in the skin of their flesh be somewhat darke and white withall, it is but a white spot broken out in the skin: therefore he is cleane.


text:
And he that hath his <n>By sickness or any other inconvenience.</n> hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he [is] forehead bald: [yet is] he clean.


text:
But if there be in the balde head, or in the balde forehead a white reddish sore, it is a leprosie springing in his balde head, or in his balde forehead.


text:
Therefore the Priest shall looke vpon it, &amp; if the rising of the sore bee white reddish in his balde head, or in his bald forehead, appearing like leprosie in the skin of the flesh,


text:
He is a leper and vncleane: therefore the Priest shall pronounce him altogether vncleane: for the sore is in his head.


text:
And the leper in whom the plague [is], his clothes shall be <n>In sign of sorrow and lamentation.</n> rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper <n>Either in token of mourning, or for fear of infecting others.</n> lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.


text:
As long as the disease shall be vpon him, he shalbe polluted, for he is vncleane: he shall dwell alone, without the campe shall his habitation be.


text:
Also the garment that the plague of leprosie is in, whether it be a wollen garment or a linen garment,


text:
Whether it bee in the warpe or in ye woofe of linen or of wollen, either in a skin, or in any thing made of skin,


text:
And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of <n>Whether it be garment, vessel, or instrument.</n> skin; it [is] a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:


text:
And shall looke on the plague the seuenth day: if the plague growe in the garment or in the warpe, or in the woofe, or in the skinne, or in any thing that is made of skin, that plague is a fretting leprosie and vncleane.


text:
And hee shall burne the garment, or the warpe, or the woofe, whether it bee wollen or linen, or any thing that is made of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a freating leprosie, therefore it shalbe burnt in the fire.


text:
And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not <n>But abide still in one place, as in (Lev_13:37).</n> spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;


text:
Then the Priest shall commaunde them to wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it vp seuen dayes more.


text:
And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, [if] the plague have not changed his <n>But remain as it did before.</n> colour, and the plague be not spread; it [is] unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it [is] fret inward, <n>Or, whether it be in any bare place before, or behind.</n> [whether] it [be] bare within or without.


text:
And if the Priest see that the plague bee darker, after that it is washed, he shall cut it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warpe, or out of the woofe.


text:
And if it appeare stil in ye garment or in the warpe, or in the woofe, or in any thing made of skin, it is a spreading leprie: thou shalt burne the thing wherein the plague is, in the fire.


text:
And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin [it be], which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed <n>So that he might be sure that the leprosy was departed, and that all opportunity for infection might be taken away.</n> the second time, and shall be clean.


text:
This is the lawe of the plague of leprosie in a garment of wollen or linnen, or in the warpe, or in the woofe, or in any thing of skin, to make it cleane or vncleane.


text:
This shall be the <n>Or, the ceremony which shall be used in his purgation.</n> law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:


text:
And the Priest shall go out of the campe, &amp; the Priest shall consider him: and if the plague of leprosie be healed in the leper,


text:
Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive [and] <n>Of birds which were permitted to be eaten.</n> clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:


text:
And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over <n>Running water, or of the fountains.</n> running water:


text:
After, he shall take the liue sparowe with the cedar wood, and the skarlet lace, and the hyssope, and shall dip them and the liuing sparowe in the blood of the sparowe slaine, ouer the pure water,


text:
And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall <n>Signifying that he that was made clean was set free, and restored to the company of others.</n> let the living bird loose into the open field.


text:
Then he that shall be clensed, shall wash his clothes, and shaue off all his heare, and wash himselfe in water, so he shalbe cleane: after that shall he come into the host, but shall tary without his tent seuen dayes.


text:
So in the seuenth day hee shall shaue off all his heare, both his head, and his beard, and his eye browes: euen all his heare shall he shaue, and shall wash his clothes and shall wash his flesh in water: so he shalbe cleane.


text:
And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without <n>Which has no imperfection in any part.</n> blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour [for] a meat offering, mingled with oil, <n>This quantity in Hebrew is called a Log, and holds six eggs in measure.</n> and one log of oil.


text:
And the Priest that maketh him cleane shal bring the man which is to bee made cleane, and those things, before the Lord, at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.


text:
Then the Priest shall take one lambe, and offer him for a trespasse offering, and the pint of oyle, and shake the to and fro before the Lord.


text:
And hee shall kill the lambe in the place where the sinne offring and the burnt offring are slaine, euen in the holy place: for as the sinne offring is the Priests, so is the trespasse offring: for it is most holy.


text:
So the Priest shal take of the blood of the trespasse offring, and put it vpon the lappe of the right eare of him that shalbe clensed, and vpon the thumbe of his right hand, and vpon the great toe of his right foote.


text:
And the Priest shal dip his right finger in the oyle that is in his left hand, &amp; sprinkle of the oyle with his finger seuen times before the Lord.


text:
And of the rest of the oyle that is in his hand, shal the Priest put vpon the lap of the right eare of him that is to bee clensed, and vpon the thumbe of his right hand, and vpon the great toe of his right foote, where the blood of the trespasse offring was put.


text:
But the remnant of the oyle that is in the Priests hand, he shal powre vpon the head of him that is to be clensed: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord.


text:
And the Priest shal offer the sinne offring and make an atonement for him that is to bee clensed of his vncleannesse: then after shall he kill the burnt offring.


text:
So the Priest shal offer ye burnt offring and the meat offring vpon ye altar and the Priest shall make an atonement for him: so he shalbe cleane.


text:
And if he [be] poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb [for] a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one <n>Which is an Omer, (Exo_16:16).</n> tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil;


text:
Also two turtle doues, or two yong pigeons, as he is able, whereof the one shalbe a sinne offering, and the other a burnt offring,


text:
And he shall bring them the eight day for his clensing vnto the Priest at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before ye Lord.


text:
And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall <n>Or, shall offer them as the offering that is shaken to and fro.</n> wave them [for] a wave offering before the LORD:


text:
And he shall kil the lambe of the trespasse offering, and the Priest shall take of the blood of the trespasse offring, and put it vpon the lap of his right eare that is to be clensed, &amp; vpon ye thumbe of his right hande, and vpon the great toe of his right foote.


text:
So ye Priest shal with his right finger sprinkle of the oyle that is in his left hand, seuen times before the Lord.


text:
Then the Priest shall put of the oyle that is in his hande, vpon the lap of the right eare of him that is to bee clensed, and vpon the thumbe of his right hande, and vpon the great toe of his right foote: vpon the place of the blood of the trespasse offring.


text:
But ye rest of the oyle that is in the Priests hand, he shall put vpon the head of him that is to be clensed, to make an atonement for him before the Lord.


text:
And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, <n>whether of them he can get.</n> such as he can get;


text:
Such, I say, as he is able, the one for a sinne offring, and the other for a burnt offring with the meate offring: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him that is to bee clensed before the Lord.


text:
This [is] the <n>This order is appointed for the poor man.</n> law [of him] in whom [is] the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get [that which pertaineth] to his cleansing.


text:
When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I <n>This declares that no plague nor punishment comes to man without God's providence and his sending.</n> put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;


text:
Then he that oweth the house, shall come and tell the Priest, saying, Me thinke there is like a plague of leprosie in the house.


text:
Then the Priest shall commande them to emptie the house before the Priest goe into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made vncleane, and then shall the Priest goe in to see the house,


text:
And hee shall marke the plague: and if the plague be in the walles of the house, &amp; that there be deepe spots, greenish or reddish, which seeme to be lower then the wall,


text:
Then the Priest shall goe out of the house to the doore of the house, and shall cause to shut vp the house seuen dayes.


text:
So the Priest shall come againe ye seuenth day: and if he see that the plague bee increased in the walles of the house,


text:
Then the Priest shall commande them to take away the stones wherein the plague is, and they shall cast them into a foule place without the citie.


text:
And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into <n>Where trash was cast, and other filth, that the people might not be infected by them.</n> an unclean place:


text:
And they shall take other stones, and put them in the places of those stones, and shall take other mortar, to plaister the house with.


text:
But if the plague come againe and breake out in the house, after that he hath taken away ye stones, and after that hee hath scraped and playstered the house,


text:
Then the Priest shall come and see: and if the plague growe in the house, it is a freating leprosie in the house: it is therefore vncleane.


text:
And he shall <n>That is, he shall command it to be pulled down, as in (Lev_14:40).</n> break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry [them] forth out of the city into an unclean place.


text:
Moreouer he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut vp, hee shall bee vncleane vntill the euen.


text:
Hee also that sleepeth in the house shall wash his clothes: he likewise that eateth in the house, shall wash his clothes.


text:
But if the Priest shall come and see, that the plague hath spread no further in the house, after the house be plaistered, the Priest shall pronounce that house cleane, for the plague is healed.


text:
And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and <n>It seems that this was a lace or string to bind the hyssop to the wood, and so was made a sprinkle: the apostle to the Hebrews calls it scarlet wool, (Heb_9:19).</n> scarlet, and hyssop:


text:
And shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssope, and the skarlet lace with the liue sparow, and dip them in the blood of the slayne sparow, and in the pure water, and sprinkle the house seuen times:


text:
So shall hee clense the house with ye blood of the sparowe, &amp; with the pure water, and with the liue sparowe, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssope, and with the skarlet lace.


text:
Afterwarde he shal let go the liue sparowe out of the towne into the broad fieldes: so shal he make atonement for the house, and it shal be cleane.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his <n>Whose seed either in sleeping or else of weakness of nature issues at his secret part.</n> flesh, [because of] his issue he [is] unclean.


text:
And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it [is] <n>Of the thing of which he shall be unclean.</n> his uncleanness.


text:
Euery bed whereon he lyeth that hath the issue, shall be vncleane, and euery thing whereon he sitteth, shalbe vncleane.


text:
Whosoeuer also toucheth his bed, shal wash his clothes, and wash himselfe in water, and shall be vncleane vntill the euen.


text:
And he that sitteth on any thing, whereon he sate that hath the issue, shall wash his clothes, and wash himselfe in water, and shalbe vncleane vntill the euen.


text:
Also he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue, shal wash his clothes, &amp; wash himselfe in water, &amp; shalbe vncleane vntil the euen.


text:
And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then <n>Of whom the unclean man did spit.</n> he shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even.


text:
And what <n>The word signifies every thing on which a man rides.</n> saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean.


text:
And whosoeuer toucheth any thing that was vnder him, shall be vncleane vnto the euen: and he that beareth those things, shall wash his clothes, and wash himselfe in water, and shall be vncleane vntill the euen.


text:
Likewise whomesoeuer hee toucheth that hath the issue (and hath not washed his handes in water) shal wash his clothes and wash himselfe in water, and shalbe vncleane vntill the euen.


text:
And the vessel of earth that he toucheth, which hath the issue, shalbe broken: and euery vessel of wood shalbe rinsed in water.


text:
And when he that hath an issue is <n>That is, be restored to his old state, and be healed of it.</n> cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.


text:
Then the eight day he shall take vnto him two Turtle doues or two yong pigeons, and come before the Lorde at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shall giue them vnto the Priest.


text:
And the Priest shall make of the one of them a sinne offring, &amp; of the other a burnt offering: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord, for his issue.


text:
And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his <n>Meaning, all his body.</n> flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.


text:
And euery garment, &amp; euery skinne whereupon shalbe issue of seede, shall be euen washed with water, and be vncleane vnto the euen.


text:
If he that hath an issue of seede, do lie with a woman, they shall both wash themselues with water, and be vncleane vntill the euen.


text:
Also when a woman shal haue an issue, and her issue in her flesh shalbe blood, she shalbe put apart seuen dayes: and whosoeuer toucheth her, shalbe vncleane vnto the euen.


text:
And every thing that she lieth upon in <n>That is, when she has her period, by which she is separate from her husband, from the tabernacle and from touching any holy thing.</n> her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.


text:
Whosoeuer also toucheth her bedde, shall wash his clothes, and wash himselfe with water, &amp; shalbe vncleane vnto the euen.


text:
And whosoeuer toucheth any thing that she sate vpon, shal wash his clothes, and wash him selfe in water, &amp; shalbe vncleane vnto the euen:


text:
So that whether he touche her bed, or any thing whereon shee hath sit, he shalbe vncleane vnto the euen.


text:
And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers <n>If any of her uncleanness touched him in the bed: for else the man that companied with such a woman should die, (Lev_20:18).</n> be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.


text:
Also when a womans issue of blood runneth long time besides the time of her floures, or when she hath an issue, longer then her floures, all the dayes of the issue of her vncleannesse shee shalbe vncleane, as in the time of her floures.


text:
Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the <n>Shall be unclean as the bed on which she lay when she had her natural disease.</n> bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.


text:
And whosoeuer toucheth these things, shal be vncleane, &amp; shal wash his clothes, &amp; wash him selfe in water, &amp; shalbe vncleane vnto the euen.


text:
But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall <n>After the time that she is recovered.</n> number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.


text:
And in the eight day shee shall take vnto her two Turtles or two yong pigeons, and bring them vnto the Priest at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.


text:
And the Priest shall make of ye one a sinne offring, and of the other a burnt offring, and the Priest shal make an atonement for her before the Lord, for the issue of her vncleannes.


text:
Thus shall ye <n>Seeing that God required purity and cleanliness of his own: we cannot be his, unless our filth and sins are purged with the blood of Jesus Christ, and so we learn to detest all sin.</n> separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that [is] among them.


text:
This is the lawe of him that hath an issue, and of him from whome goeth an issue of seede whereby he is defiled:


text:
Also of her that is sicke of her floures, and of him that hath a running issue, whether it bee man or woman, and of him that lyeth with her which is vncleane.


text:
Fvrthermore the Lord spake vnto Moses, after the death of the two sonnes of Aaron, whe they came to offer before the Lord, and dyed:


text:
And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at <n>The high priest entered into the holiest of holies just once a year in the month of September.</n> all times into the holy [place] within the vail before the mercy seat, which [is] upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.


text:
After this sort shall Aaron come into the Holy place: euen with a yong bullocke for a sinne offring, and a ramme for a burnt offring.


text:
He shal put on the holy linnen coate, and shal haue linnen breeches vpon his flesh, &amp; shal be girded with a linnen girdle, and shal couer his head with a linnen miter: these are the holy garments: therefore shal hee wash his flesh in water, when he doeth put them on.


text:
And hee shal take of the Congregation of the children of Israel, two hee goates for a sinne offring, and a ramme for a burnt offring.


text:
Then Aaron shal offer the bullocke for his sinne offring, and make an atonement for himselfe, and for his house.


text:
And he shal take the two hee goates, and present them before the Lord at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.


text:
And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the <n>In Hebrew it is called Azazel, which some say is a mountain near Sinai, where this goat was sent. Rather it is called the scapegoat because it was not offered but sent into the desert, as in (Lev_16:11).</n> scapegoat.


text:
But the goate, on which the lot shal fall to be the Scape goate, shalbe presented aliue before the Lord, to make reconciliation by him, &amp; to let him go (as a Scape goate) into the wildernes.


text:
Thus Aaron shal offer the bullocke for his sinne offring, and make a reconciliation for himselfe, and for his house, and shal kill the bullocke for his sinne offring.

Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of <n>For if they did not offer sacrifice for their error, the people by their example might commit the same offence.</n> trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.


text:
Speake vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, and to all the children of Israel, and say vnto them, Whosoeuer he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his sacrifice for all their vowes, and for all their free offrings, which they vse to offer vnto the Lorde for a burnt offring,


text:
Yee shall offer of your free minde a male without blemish of the beeues, of the sheepe, or of the goates.


text:
And whosoeuer bringeth a peace offring vnto ye Lord to accomplish his vowe, or for a free offring, of the beeues, or of the sheepe, his free offring shall bee perfect, no blemish shalbe in it.


text:
Blinde, or broken, or maimed, or hauing a wenne, or skiruie, or skabbed: these shall yee not offer vnto the Lord nor make an offring by fire of these vpon the altar of the Lorde.


text:
Yet a bullocke, or a sheepe that hath any member superfluous, or lacking, such mayest thou present for a free offring, but for a vowe it shall not be accepted.


text:
Ye shall not offer vnto ye Lord that which is bruised or crusshed, or broken, or cut away, neither shal ye make an offring thereof in your land,


text:
Neither <n>You shall not receive any imperfect thing from a stranger, to make it the Lord's offering: which he calls the bread of the Lord.</n> from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption [is] in them, [and] blemishes [be] in them: they shall not be accepted for you.


text:
When a bullocke, or a sheepe, or a goate shal be brought foorth, it shalbe euen seuen daies vnder his damme: and from the eight day forth, it shalbe accepted for a sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord.


text:
Neither shall ye <n>For whoever does otherwise than God commands pollutes his Name.</n> profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I [am] the LORD which hallow you,


text:
Speake vnto the children of Israel, &amp; say vnto them, The feastes of ye Lord which yee shall call ye holie assemblies, euen these are my feasts.


text:
Six daies shall worke be done, but in the seuenth day shalbe the Sabbath of rest, an holie conuocation: ye shall do no worke therein, it is the Sabbath of the Lorde, in all your dwellings.


text:
These [are] the feasts of the LORD, [even] holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their <n>For the sabbath was kept every week, and these others were kept only once every year.</n> seasons.


text:
In the first moneth, and in the fourteenth day of the moneth at euening shalbe ye Passeouer of the Lord.


text:
And on the fifteenth day of this moneth shalbe the feast of vnleauened bread vnto the Lord: seuen dayes ye shall eate vnleauened bread.


text:
In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no <n>Or, bodily labour, save about that which one must eat, (Exo_12:16).</n> servile work therein.


text:
But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the <n>The first day of the feast and the seventh were kept holy: in the rest they might work, except any feasts that were together, as were the feast of unleavened bread and the feast of sheaves which were on the fifteenth and sixteenth days.</n> seventh day [is] an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work [therein].


text:
Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye be come into ye land which I giue vnto you, and reape the haruest thereof, then ye shal bring a sheafe of the first fruites of your haruest vnto the Priest,


text:
And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the <n>That is, the second sabbath of the Passover.</n> sabbath the priest shall wave it.


text:
And that day when yee shake the sheafe, shall yee prepare a lambe without blemish of a yeere olde, for a burnt offring vnto the Lord:


text:
And the meat offering thereof [shall be] two <n>Which is, the fifth part of an Ephah, or two Omers: read (Exo_16:16).</n> tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD [for] a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof [shall be] of wine, the fourth [part] <n>Read (Exo_29:40).</n> of an hin.


text:
And ye shal eat neither bread nor parched corne, nor greene eares vntill the selfe same day that ye haue brought an offring vnto your God: this shalbe a lawe for euer in your generations and in all your dwellings.


text:
And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the <n>That is, the seventh day after the first sabbath of the Passover.</n> sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:


text:
Vnto ye morow after the seuenth Sabbath shall ye nomber fiftie dayes: then yee shall bring a newe meate offring vnto the Lord.


text:
Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with <n>Because the priest should eat them, as in (Lev_7:13), and they should not be offered to the Lord on the altar.</n> leaven; [they are] the firstfruits unto the LORD.


text:
Also yee shall offer with the bread seuen lambes without blemish of one yeere olde, and a yong bullocke and two rams: they shalbe for a burnt offring vnto the Lorde, with their meate offrings and their drinke offrings, for a sacrifice made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lord.


text:
Then ye shall prepare an hee goate for a sinne offring, and two lambes of one yeere olde for peace offrings.


text:
And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits [for] a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the <n>That is, offered to the Lord, and the rest should be for the priest.</n> priest.


text:
So ye shall proclayme the same day, that it may be an holie conuocation vnto you: ye shall doe no seruile worke therein: it shalbe an ordinance for euer in al your dwellinges, throughout your generations.


text:
And when you reape the haruest of your land, thou shalt not rid cleane the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou make any aftergathering of thy haruest, but shalt leaue them vnto the poore and to the stranger: I am the Lord your God.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the <n>That is, about the end of September.</n> seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye <n>Or, a holy day to the Lord.</n> have a sabbath, a memorial of <n>Which blowing was to remind them of the many feasts that were in that month, and of the Jubile.</n> blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.


text:
Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there shall be] a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall <n>By fasting and prayer.</n> afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.


text:
And ye shall doe no worke that same day: for it is a day of reconciliation, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.


text:
And euery person that shall doe any work that same day, the same person also will I destroy from among his people.


text:
Ye shall do no maner worke therefore: this shalbe a law for euer in your generations, throughout all your dwellings.


text:
It [shall be] unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth [day] of the month at even, from <n>Which contains a night and a day: yet they took it as their natural day.</n> even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.


text:
Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, In the fifteenth day of this seueth moneth shalbe for seuen dayes the feast of Tabernacles vnto the Lorde.


text:
Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it [is] a <n>Or, a day in which the people refrain from all work.</n> solemn assembly; [and] ye shall do no servile work [therein].


text:
These [are] the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim [to be] holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a <n>Or, peace offering.</n> sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:


text:
Beside the Sabbaths of the Lorde, and beside your giftes, and beside al your vowes, and beside all your free offrings, which ye shal giue vnto the Lorde.


text:
Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day [shall be] a <n>Or, a solemn feast.</n> sabbath, and on the eighth day [shall be] a sabbath.


text:
And yee shall take you in the first day the fruite of goodly trees, branches of palme trees, &amp; the boughes of thicke trees, and willowes of the brooke, and shall reioyce before the Lorde your God seuen daies.


text:
So ye shall keepe this feast vnto the Lorde seuen daies in the yere, by a perpetuall ordinance through your generations: in the seuenth moneth shall you keepe it.


text:
That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in <n>In the wilderness, in that they would not believe Joshua and Caleb, when they returned from spying the land of Canaan.</n> booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.


text:
<n>Read (Exo_27:20).</n>Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.


text:
Without the vail <n>Which separated the holiest of holies, where the ark of the testimony from the sanctuary was.</n> of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the LORD continually: [it shall be] a statute for ever in your generations.


text:
And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two <n>That is, two omers, read (Exo_16:16).</n> tenth deals shall be in one cake.


text:
And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon [each] row, that <n>For it was burnt every sabbath, when the bread was taken away.</n> it may be on the bread for a memorial, [even] an offering made by fire unto the LORD.


text:
Euery Sabbath hee shall put them in rowes before the Lord euermore, receiuing them of the children of Israel for an euerlasting couenant.


text:
And the bread shalbe Aaros &amp; his sonnes, and they shall eate it in the holie place: for it is most holie vnto him of the offrings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetuall ordinance.


text:
And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father [was] an Egyptian, went <n>Meaning, out of his tent.</n> out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish [woman] and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;


text:
And the Israelitish woman's son <n>By swearing or despising God.</n> blasphemed the name [of the LORD], and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name [was] Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)


text:
Bring the blasphemer without the hoste, and let all that heard him, put their handes vpon his head, and let all the Congregation stone him.


text:
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall <n>Shall be punished.</n> bear his sin.


text:
And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shalbe put to death: all the Congregation shall stone him to death: aswell the stranger, as he that is borne in the lande: when he blasphemeth the name of the Lorde, let him beslaine.


text:
Breache for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: such a blemish as he hath made in any, such shalbe repayed to him.


text:
Ye shall haue one lawe: it shalbe aswel for the stranger as for one borne in the countrey: for I am the Lorde your God.


text:
And <n>Because the punishment was not yet appointed by the law for the blasphemer, Moses consulted with the Lord, and told the people what God commanded.</n> Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.


text:
Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye shall come into the lande which I giue you, the lande shall keepe Sabbath vnto the Lorde.


text:
<n>The Jews began to count the year in September: for then all the fruits were gathered.</n>Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;


text:
But the seuenth yeere shalbe a Sabbath of rest vnto the lande: it shall be the Lordes Sabbath: thou shalt neither sowe thy fielde, nor cut thy vineyarde.


text:
That which groweth of its <n>Because of the corn that fell out of the ears the previous year.</n> own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine <n>Or, which you have separated from yourself, and consecrated to God for the poor.</n> undressed: [for] it is a year of rest unto the land.


text:
And the <n>That which the land brings forth in her rest.</n> sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,


text:
And for thy cattell, and for the beastes that are in thy lande shall all the encrease thereof be meate.


text:
Also thou shalt number seuen Sabbaths of yeeres vnto thee, euen seuen times seuen yeere: and the space of the seuen Sabbaths of yeeres will be vnto thee nine and fourtie yeere.


text:
<n>In the beginning of the 50 years was the Jubile, so called, because the joyful tidings of liberty were publicly proclaimed by the sound of a cornet.</n>Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth [day] of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.


text:
And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the <n>Which were in bondage.</n> inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his <n>Because the tribes should neither have their possessions diminished nor confounded.</n> possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.


text:
This fiftieth yeere shalbe a yeere of Iubile vnto you: ye shall not sowe, neither reape that which groweth of it selfe, neither gather the grapes thereof, that are left vnlaboured.


text:
For it is the Iubile, it shall be holy vnto you: ye shall eate of the encrease thereof out of the fielde.


text:
And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest [ought] of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall <n>By deceit, or otherwise.</n> not oppress one another:


text:
According to the number of <n>If the Jubile to come is near, you would be better to sell cheaply. If it is far off, sell at a higher price.</n> years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, [and] according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:


text:
According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for [according] to the number [of the years] of the <n>And not the full possession of the land.</n> fruits doth he sell unto thee.


text:
Oppresse not ye therefore any man his neighbour, but thou shalt feare thy God: for I am the Lorde your God.


text:
Wherefore ye shall obey mine ordinances, and keepe my lawes, and do them, and ye shall dwell in the land in safetie.


text:
And if ye shall say, What shall we eate the seuenth yeere, for we shall not sowe, nor gather in our increase?


text:
I will sende my blessing vpon you in the sixt yeere, and it shall bring foorth fruite for three yeeres.


text:
And ye shall sowe the eight yeere, &amp; eate of the olde fruite vntill the ninth yeere: vntill the fruite thereof come, ye shall eate the olde.


text:
The land shall not be sold <n>It could not be sold for ever, but must return to the family in the Jubile.</n> for ever: for the land [is] mine; for ye [are] strangers and sojourners with me.


text:
And in all the land of your possession ye shall <n>You shall sell it on the condition that it may be redeemed.</n> grant a redemption for the land.


text:
If thy brother be impouerished, and sell his possession, then his redeemer shall come, euen his neere kinsman, and bye out that which his brother solde.


text:
Then let him <n>Deducting money for the years past, and paying for the rest of the years to come.</n> count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.


text:
But if he be not able to restore [it] to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go <n>From his hand that bought it.</n> out, and he shall return unto his possession.


text:
Likewise if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled citie, he may bye it out againe within a whole yeere after it is solde: within a yeere may he bye it out.


text:
And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that [is] in the walled city shall be established <n>That is, for ever, read (Lev_25:23).</n> for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.


text:
But the houses of villages, which haue no walles round about them, shalbe esteemed as the fielde of the countrey: they may be bought out againe, and shall goe out in the Iubile.


text:
Notwithstanding, the cities of the Leuites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Leuites redeeme at all seasons.


text:
And if a man purchase of the Leuites, the house that was solde, and the citie of their possession shall goe out in the Iubile: for the houses of the cities of the Leuites are their possession among the children of Israel.


text:
But the field of the <n>Where the Levites kept their cattle.</n> suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it [is] their perpetual possession.


text:
And if thy brother be waxen poor, and <n>In Hebrew it is, if his hand shake: meaning if he stretch forth his hand for help as one in misery.</n> fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: [yea, though he be] a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.


text:
Thou shalt take no vsurie of him, nor vantage, but thou shalt feare thy God, that thy brother may liue with thee.


text:
I am the Lorde your God, which haue brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to giue you the lande of Canaan, and to be your God.


text:
If thy brother also that dwelleth by thee, be impouerished, and be sold vnto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serue as a bond seruant,


text:
But as an hired seruant, and as a soiourner he shalbe with thee: he shall serue thee vnto the yeere of the Iubile.


text:
Then shall he depart from thee, both hee, and his children with him, and shall returne vnto his familie, and vnto the possession of his fathers shall he returne:


text:
For they [are] my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not <n>To perpetual servitude.</n> be sold as bondmen.


text:
Thy bond seruant also, &amp; thy bond maid, which thou shalt haue, shalbe of the heathen that are rounde about you: of them shall ye bye seruants and maydes.


text:
Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that [are] with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your <n>For they shall not be bought out at the Jubile.</n> possession.


text:
So ye shall take them as inheritance for your children after you, to possesse them by inheritance, ye shall vse their labours for euer: but ouer your brethren the children of Israel ye shall not rule one ouer another with crueltie.


text:
If a soiourner or a stranger dwelling by thee get riches, &amp; thy brother by him be impouerished, and sell him selfe vnto the stranger or soiourner dwelling by thee, or to the stocke of the strangers familie,


text:
Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or [any] that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or <n>If he be able.</n> if he be able, he may redeem himself.


text:
And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of <n>Which remains yet to the Jubile.</n> years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.


text:
If there be many yeeres behind, according to them he shall giue againe for his deliuerance, of the money that he was bought for.


text:
If there remaine but fewe yeeres vnto the yeere of Iubile, then he shall count with him, and according to his yeeres giue againe for his redemption.


text:
[And] as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: [and the other] shall not rule with rigour over him in thy <n>You shall not allow him to treat him severely, if you know it.</n> sight.


text:
And if he be not redeemed thus, he shal go out in the yeere of Iubile, he, and his children with him.


text:
For vnto me the children of Israel are seruants: they are my seruants, who I haue brought out of the land of Egypt: I am ye Lord your God.


text:
Ye shall make you none idoles nor grauen image, neither reare you vp any pillar, neither shal ye set any image of stone in your land to bow downe to it: for I am the Lord your God.


text:
Then I will give you <n>By promising abundance of earthly things, he stirs the mind to consider the rich treasures of the spiritual blessings.</n> rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.


text:
And your threshing shall reache vnto the vintage, and the vintage shall reache vnto sowing time, and you shall eate your bread in plenteousnesse, and dwell in your land safely.


text:
And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make [you] afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the <n>You shall have no war.</n> sword go through your land.


text:
And fiue of you shall chase an hundreth, and an hundreth of you shall put ten thousande to flight, and your enemies shall fall before you vpon the sworde.


text:
For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and <n>Perform that which I have promised.</n> establish my covenant with you.


text:
And I will set my <n>I will be daily present with you.</n> tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.


text:
I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the <n>I have set you at full liberty, while before you were as beasts tied in bands.</n> bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.


text:
And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, [but] that ye break my <n>Which I made with you in choosing you to be my people.</n> covenant:


text:
Then wil I also do this vnto you, I wil appoint ouer you fearefulnes, a consumption, and the burning ague to consume the eyes, and make the heart heauie, and you shall sowe your seede in vaine: for your enemies shall eate it:


text:
And I will set <n>Read (Lev_17:10).</n> my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.


text:
And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you <n>That is, more extremely.</n> seven times more for your sins.


text:
And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as <n>You shall have drought and barrenness.</n> iron, and your earth as brass:


text:
And your strength shalbe spent in vaine: neither shall your lande giue her increase, neither shall the trees of the land giue their fruite.


text:
And if ye walk <n>Or as some read, by fortune, imputing my plagues to chance and fortune.</n> contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.


text:
I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall <n>Read (2Ki_17:25).</n> rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your <n>Because no one dares to pass by it for fear of the beasts.</n> [high] ways shall be desolate.


text:
And I wil send a sword vpon you, that shal auenge the quarel of my couenant: and when ye are gathered in your cities, I wil send the pestilence among you, and ye shall be deliuered into the hand of the enemie.


text:
[And] when I have broken the <n>That is, the strength by which life is sustained, (Eze_4:16, Eze_5:16).</n> staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one <n>One oven will be sufficient for ten families.</n> oven, and they shall deliver [you] your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.


text:
Then will I walke stubburnly in mine anger against you, and I will also chastice you seuen times more according to your sinnes.


text:
I will also destroy your hye places, &amp; cut away your images, and cast your carkeises vpon the bodies of your idoles, and my soule shall abhorre you.


text:
And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I <n>I will not accept your sacrifices.</n> will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.


text:
I will also bring the land vnto a wildernes, and your enemies, which dwell therein, shalbe astonished thereat.


text:
Also I wil scatter you among the heathen, and will drawe out a sworde after you, &amp; your land shalbe waste, &amp; your cities shalbe desolate.


text:
Then shall the land inioy her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth voide, and yee shalbe in your enemies land: then shall the land rest, and enioy her Sabbaths.


text:
As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your <n>Which I commanded you to keep.</n> sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.


text:
And upon them that are left [alive] of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall <n>As if their enemies chased them.</n> flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.


text:
They shall fall also one vpon another, as before a sword, though none pursue them, and ye shall not be able to stand before your enemies:


text:
And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with <n>In that, as they are blameworthy of their fathers faults, they shall be punished as well as their fathers.</n> them.


text:
Then they shall confesse their iniquitie, &amp; the wickednes of their fathers for their trespasse, which they haue trespassed against mee, and also because they haue walked stubburnly against me.


text:
Therefore I wil walke stubburnly against them, and bring them into the land of their enemies: so then their vncircumcised hearts shalbe humbled, and then they shalt willingly beare the punishment of their iniquitie.


text:
Then I will remember my couenant with Iaakob, and my couenant also with Izhak, and also my couenant with Abraham will I remember, and will remember the land.


text:
<n>While they are captives, and without repentance.</n>The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.


text:
Yet notwithstanding this, when they shalbe in the lande of their enemies, I wil not cast them away, neither will I abhorre them, to destroy them vtterly, nor to breake my couenant with them: for I am the Lord their God:


text:
But I will for their sakes remember the <n>Made to their forefathers.</n> covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I [am] the LORD.


text:
These [are] the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount <n>Fifty days after they came out of Egypt.</n> Sinai by the hand of Moses.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a <n>As of his son or daughter.</n> singular vow, the persons [shall be] for the LORD by <n>Who art the priest.</n> thy estimation.


text:
And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty <n>Read the value of the shekel in (Exo_30:13).</n> shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.


text:
And from fiue yere old to twentie yere olde thy valuation shall be for the male twentie shekels, and for the female ten shekels.


text:
And if [it be] from a <n>He speaks of those vows by which the fathers dedicated their children to God who were not of such force; but they might be redeemed from them.</n> month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation [shall be] three shekels of silver.


text:
And from sixty yeere olde and aboue, if he be a male, then thy price shalbe fifteene shekels, and for the female ten shekels.


text:
But if he be poorer <n>If he is not able to pay according to your estimate.</n> than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.


text:
And if [it be] a <n>Which is clean, (Lev_11:2).</n> beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that [any man] giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.


text:
He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be <n>That is, consecrate to the Lord.</n> holy.


text:
And if it be any vncleane beast, of which men do not offer a sacrifice vnto the Lorde, hee shall then present the beast before the Priest.


text:
And the Priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: and as thou valuest it, which art the Priest, so shall it bee.


text:
Also whe a man shall dedicate his house to be holy vnto the Lorde, then the Priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad, and as ye Priest shall prise it, so shall the value be.


text:
But if he that sanctified it, will redeeme his house, then hee shall giue thereto the fift part of money more then thy estimation, &amp; it shalbe his.


text:
And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD [some part] of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an <n>Homer is a measure containing ten ephahs, read of an ephah in (Exo_16:16, Exo_16:36).</n> homer of barley seed [shall be valued] at fifty shekels of silver.


text:
If he dedicate his field immediately from the yeere of Iubile, it shall bee worth as thou doest esteeme it.


text:
But if hee dedicate his fielde after the Iubile, then the Priest shall recken him the money according to ye yeeres that remaine vnto the yere of Iubile, and it shalbe abated by thy estimation.


text:
And if he that dedicateth it, will redeeme the fielde, then he shall put the fift parte of the price, that thou esteemedst it at, thereunto, and it shall remaine his.


text:
And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have <n>For their own necessity or godly uses.</n> sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.


text:
But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be <n>That is, who dedicate to the Lord with a curse to him that turns it to his private use, (Num_21:2; Deu_13:15; Jos_9:17).</n> holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.


text:
If a man also dedicate vnto ye Lord a fielde which he hath bought, which is not of the groud of his inheritance,


text:
Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, [even] unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give <n>The priests evaluation.</n> thine estimation in that day, [as] a holy thing unto the LORD.


text:
But in the yeere of Iubile, the fielde shall returne vnto him, of whome it was bought: to him, I say, whose inheritance the land was.


text:
And all thy valuation shall bee according to the shekel of the Sanctuarie: a shekel conteyneth twenty gerahs.


text:
Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD'S firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether [it be] ox, or sheep: it [is] the <n>It was the Lord's already.</n> LORD'S.


text:
But if it be an vncleane beast, then he shall redeeme it by thy valuation, and giue the fift part more thereto: &amp; if it be not redeemed, then it shalbe solde, according to thy estimation.


text:
Notwithstanding, nothing separate from the common vse that a man doeth separate vnto the Lord of all that he hath (whether it bee man or beast, or lande of his inheritance) may be solde nor redeemed: for euery thing separate from the common vse is most holy vnto the Lorde.


text:
None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; [but] shall surely be <n>It shall remain without redemption.</n> put to death.


text:
Also all the tithe of the lande both of the seede of the ground, and of the fruite of the trees is the Lords: it is holy to the Lorde.


text:
And if a man will at all redeem [ought] of his tithes, he shall add thereto the <n>Besides the value of the thing itself.</n> fifth [part] thereof.


text:
And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, [even] of whatsoever passeth under the <n>All that which is numbered: that is, every tenth as he falls by tale without exception or respect.</n> rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.


text:
He shal not looke if it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: els if he change it, both it, and that it was changed withall, shalbe holy, and it shall not be redeemed.


text:
These are the commaundements which the Lord commaunded by Moses vnto the children of Israel in mount Sinai.


text:
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of <n>In the place in the wilderness that was near mount Sinai.</n> Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first [day] of the <n>Which is part of April and part of May.</n> second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, <n>The Argument - In that as God has appointed that his Church in this world shall be under the cross, both so they could learn not to put their trust in worldly things, and also feel his comfort, when all other help fails: he did not immediately bring his people, after their departure out of Egypt, into the land which he had promised them: but led them to and fro for the space of forty years, and kept them in continual exercises before they enjoyed it, to try their faith, teach them to forget the world, and to depend on him. Which trial greatly profited, to discern the wicked and the hypocrites from the faithful and true servants of God, who served him with pure heart, while the other, preferring their earthly lusts to God's glory, and making religion to serve their purpose, complained when they lacked enough to satisfy their lusts, and despised those who God had appointed as rulers over them. By reason of which they provoked God's terrible judgments against them, and are set forth as a notable example for all ages, to beware how they abuse God's word, prefer their own lusts to his will, or despise his ministers. Nonetheless, God is always true to his promise, and governs his by his Holy Spirit, that either they fall not to such inconveniences, or else return to him quickly in true repentance: and therefore he continues his graces toward them, he gives them ordinances and instructions, as well for religion, as outward policy: he preserves them against all deceit and conspiracy, and gives them many victories against their enemies. To avoid all controversies that might arise, he takes away the occasions, by dividing among all the tribes, both the land which they had won, and that also which he had promised, as seemed best to his godly wisdom.</n>

According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the LORD commanded <n>So that Moses neither added, nor diminished from that which the Lord commanded him.</n> Moses.


text:
Commaund the children of Israel that they put out of the hoste euery leper, and euery one that hath an issue, and whosoeuer is defiled by the dead.


text:
Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the <n>There were three types of tents: of the Lord, of the Levites, and of the Israelites.</n> midst whereof I dwell.


text:
And the children of Israel did so, and put them out of the host, euen as the Lord had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin <n>Commit any fault willingly.</n> that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;


text:
Then they shall confesse their sinne which they haue done, and shall restore the domage thereof with his principall, and put the fift part of it more thereto, and shall giue it vnto him, against whom he hath trespassed.


text:
But if the <n>If he is dead to whom the wrong is done and also has no relatives.</n> man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, [even] to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.


text:
And every offering of all the <n>Or, things offered to the Lord, as first fruits, etc.</n> holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.


text:
And euery mans halowed things shall bee his: that is, whatsoeuer any man giueth the Priest, it shalbe his.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife <n>By breaking the band of marriage, and playing the harlot.</n> go aside, and commit a trespass against him,


text:
So that an other man lie with her fleshly, and it bee hid from the eyes of her husbande, and kept close, and yet she be defiled, and there be no witnesse against her, neither she taken with the maner,


text:
If he be moued with a ielous minde, so that he is ielous ouer his wife, which is defiled, or if he haue a ielous minde, so that he is ielous ouer his wife, which is not defiled,


text:
Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth [part] of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no <n>Only in the sin offering, and so this offering of jealousy were neither oil nor incense offered.</n> oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it [is] an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to <n>Or, making the sin known, and not purging it.</n> remembrance.


text:
And the priest shall take <n>Which also is called the water of purification of sprinkling, read (Num_19:9).</n> holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put [it] into the water:


text:
And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which [is] the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the <n>It was so called by the effect, because it declared the woman to be accursed, and turned to her destruction.</n> curse:


text:
And the Priest shall charge her by an oth, and say vnto the woman, If no man haue lien with thee, neither thou hast turned to vncleannesse from thine husbande, be free from this bitter and cursed water.


text:
But if thou hast turned fro thine husband, and so art defiled, and some man hath lyen with thee beside thine husband,


text:
Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a <n>Both because she had committed so heinous a fault, and forswore herself in denying the same.</n> curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;


text:
And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make [thy] belly to swell, and [thy] thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, <n>That is, may it be as you wished, as in (Psa_41:13; Deu_27:15).</n> Amen, amen.


text:
And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall <n>Shall wash the curses, which are written, into the water in the vessel.</n> blot [them] out with the bitter water:


text:
And shal cause the woman to drinke ye bitter and cursed water, and the cursed water, turned into bitternesse, shal enter into her.


text:
Then the Priest shall take the ielousie offring out of the womans hand, and shal shake the offring before the Lord, and offer it vpon ye altar.


text:
And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, [even] the memorial thereof, and burn [it] upon the <n>Where the incense was offered.</n> altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.


text:
When yee haue made her drinke the water, (if she bee defiled and haue trespassed against her husband) then shall the cursed water, turned into bitternesse, enter into her, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot, and the woman shal be accursed among her people.


text:
Or when a man is moued with a ielous minde being ielous ouer his wife then shall he bring the woman before the Lord, and the Priest shal do to her according to al this lawe,

Then shall the man be <n>The man might accuse his wife on suspicion and not be reproved.</n> guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate [themselves] to vow a vow of a <n>Who separated themselves from the world, and dedicated themselves to God: a figure which was accomplished in Christ.</n> Nazarite, to separate [themselves] unto the LORD:


text:
He shall absteine fro wine &amp; strong drinke, and shal drinke no sowre wine nor sowre drinke, nor shall drinke any licour of grapes, neither shal eate fresh grapes nor dryed.


text:
As long as his abstinence endureth, shall hee eat nothing that is made of the wine of the vine, neither the kernels, nor the huske.


text:
While hee is separate by his vowe, the rasor shall not come vpon his head, vntill the dayes be out, in the which he separateth him selfe vnto the Lord, he shalbe holy, and shall let the lockes of the heare of his head growe.


text:
All the days that he separateth [himself] unto the LORD he shall come at no <n>As at burials, or mournings.</n> dead body.


text:
He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God [is] upon <n>In that he allowed his hair to grow, he signified that he was consecrated to God.</n> his head.


text:
And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the <n>Whose long hair is a sign that he is dedicated to God.</n> head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.


text:
And in the eight day hee shall bring two turtles, or two yong pigeons to the Priest, at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.


text:
And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by <n>By being present where the deceased was.</n> the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.


text:
And he shall <n>Beginning at the eighth day, when he is purified.</n> consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the <n>So that he shall begin his vow anew.</n> days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.


text:
This then is the lawe of the Nazarite: When the time of his consecration is out, he shall come to the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,


text:
And hee shall bring his offering vnto the Lorde, an hee lambe of a yeere olde without blemish for a burnt offering, and a shee lambe of a yere olde without blemish for a sinne offring, and a ramme without blemish for peace offrings,


text:
And a basket of vnleauened bread, of cakes of fine floure, mingled with oyle, and wafers of vnleauened bread anointed with oile, with their meate offring, and their drinke offrings:


text:
The which the Priest shal bring before the Lorde, and make his sinne offering and his burnt offering.


text:
He shal prepare also the ram for a peace offring vnto the Lorde, with the basket of vnleauened bread, and the Priest shal make his meate offring, and his drinke offring.


text:
And the Nazarite shall shave the head <n>In token that his vow is ended.</n> of his separation [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and <n>For the hair which was consecrated to the Lord, might not be cast into any profane place.</n> put [it] in the fire which [is] under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.


text:
Then the Priest shall take ye sodden shoulder of the ramme, and an vnleauened cake out of the basket, and a wafer vnleauened, and put them vpon the hands of the Nazarite, after he hath shauen his consecration.


text:
And the Priest shal shake them to &amp; fro before the Lorde: this is an holy thing for the Priest besides the shaken breast, and besides the heaue shoulder: so afterwarde the Nazarite may drinke wine.


text:
This [is] the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, [and of] his offering unto the LORD for his separation, <n>At the least he shall do this, if he is not able to offer more.</n> beside [that] that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.


text:
Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall <n>That is, pray for them.</n> bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,


text:
And they shall put my <n>They shall pray in my Name for them.</n> name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.


text:
Nowe when Moses had finished the setting vp of the Tabernacle, and anointed it &amp; sanctified it, and all the instrumentes thereof, and the altar with al the instruments thereof, and had anoynted them and sanctified them,


text:
Then the princes of Israel, heads ouer the houses of their fathers (they were the princes of the tribes, who were ouer them that were nombred) offred,


text:
And they brought their offering before the LORD, six <n>Like horse litters, to keep the things that were carried in them from the weather.</n> covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.


text:
Take [it] of them, that they may be to do the <n>That is, to carry things.</n> service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.


text:
Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, <n>For their use to carry with.</n> according to their service:


text:
And foure charets and eight oxen hee gaue to the sonnes of Merari according vnto their office, vnder the hand of Ithamar the sonne of Aaron the Priest.


text:
But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: <n>The holy thing of the sanctuary must be carried on their shoulders and not drawn with oxen, (Num_4:15).</n> because the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them [was that] they should bear upon their shoulders.


text:
And the princes offered for <n>That is, when the first sacrifice was offered on it by Aaron, in (Lev_9:1).</n> dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar.

And when Moses was gone into the <n>That is, the sanctuary.</n> tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that [was] upon the ark of testimony, from <n>According as he had promised in (Exo_25:22).</n> between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him.


text:
Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light <n>To that part which is in the forefront of the candlestick, (Exo_25:37).</n> over against the candlestick.


text:
And Aaron did so, lighting the lampes thereof towarde ye forefront of the Candlesticke, as the Lorde had commanded Moses.


text:
And this work of the candlestick [was of] beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, [was] beaten work: <n>And not set together of various pieces.</n> according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.


text:
And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle <n>In Hebrew it is called the water of sin, because it is made to purge sin, as in (Num_19:9).</n> water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and [so] make themselves clean.


text:
Then they shal take a yong bullocke with his meate offring of fine floure, mingled with oyle, and another yong bullocke shalt thou take for a sinne offring.


text:
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the <n>That you may do this in the presence of them all.</n> whole assembly of the children of Israel together:


text:
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the <n>Meaning, certain of them in the name of the whole.</n> children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:


text:
And Aaron shall offer the Leuites before the Lord, as a shake offring of ye childre of Israel, that they may execute the seruice of the Lorde.


text:
And the Leuites shall put their handes vpon the heades of the bullockes, and make thou the one a sinne offring, and the other a burnt offring vnto the Lorde, that thou mayest make an atonement for the Leuites.


text:
And thou shalt set the Leuites before Aaron and before his sonnes, &amp; offer the as a shake offring to the Lorde.

text:
For all the first borne of the children of Israel are mine, both of man and of beast: since the day that I smote euery first borne in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for my selfe.

And I have given the Levites [as] a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the <n>Which the Israelites should do.</n> children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the <n>Because the levites go into the sanctuary in their name.</n> sanctuary.

Then Moses and Aaron and all the Cogregation of the children of Israel did with the Leuites, according vnto all that the Lorde had commanded Moses concerning the Leuites: so did the children of Israel vnto them.

text:
This also belongeth to the Leuites: from fiue and twentie yeere olde and vpwarde, they shall goe in, to execute their office in the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.


text:
And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the <n>Such office as was painful, as to bear burdens and such like.</n> service [thereof], and shall serve no more:

But shall minister <n>In singing Psalms, instructing, counselling and keeping the things in order.</n> with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.


text:
And the Lorde spake vnto Moses in the wildernes of Sinai, in the first moneth of the second yeere, after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,


text:
In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to <n>Even in all points as the Lord has instituted it.</n> all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.


text:
And they kept the Passeouer in the fouretenth day of the first moneth at euen in the wildernesse of Sinai: according to all that the Lord had comanded Moses, so did ye children of Israel.


text:
And there were certain men, who were defiled <n>By touching a corpse, or being at the burial.</n> by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:


text:
And those men said unto him, We [are] defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not <n>Or, celebrate the Passover the fourteenth day of the first month.</n> offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?


text:
Then Moses saide vnto them, Stande still, and I will heare what the Lorde will commande concerning you.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or [be] in a journey afar off, yet <n>And cannot come where the tabernacle is, when others keep it.</n> he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.


text:
The fourteenth day of the <n>So that the unclean and those who are not at home, have a month longer granted to them.</n> second month at even they shall keep it, [and] eat it with unleavened bread and bitter [herbs].


text:
They shall leaue none of it vnto the morning, nor breake any bone of it: according to all the ordinance of the Passeouer shall they keepe it.


text:
But the man that [is] clean, and is not in a <n>When the Passover is celebrated.</n> journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.


text:
And if a stranger dwell among you, and wil keepe the Passeouer vnto the Lord, as the ordinance of the Passeouer, &amp; as the maner thereof is, so shall he do: ye shall haue one lawe both for the stranger, and for him that was borne in the same lande.


text:
And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, [namely], the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the <n>Like a pillar, read (Exo_13:21-22).</n> appearance of fire, until the morning.


text:
And when the cloude was taken vp from the Tabernacle, then afterwarde the children of Israel iourneyed: and in the place where the cloude abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.


text:
At the commandment of the <n>Who taught them what to do by the cloud.</n> LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.


text:
And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the <n>They waited when the Lord would signify either their departure, or their abode by the cloud.</n> charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.


text:
So when the cloud abode a few dayes vpon the Tabernacle, they abode in their tents according to the comandement of ye Lord: for they iourneyed at the commandement of the Lorde.


text:
And though the cloud abode vpo the Tabernacle from euen vnto the morning, yet if the cloude was taken vp in the morning, then they iourneyed: whether by daye or by night the cloude was taken vp, then they iourneyed.


text:
Or if the cloude taryed two dayes or a moneth, or a yeere vpon the Tabernacle, abiding thereon, the children of Israel abode still, and iourneyed not: but when it was taken vp, they iourneyed.


text:
At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the <n>Under the charge and government of Moses.</n> hand of Moses.


text:
Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a <n>Or, of work beaten out with the hammer.</n> whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.


text:
And when they shall blowe with them, all the Congregation shall assemble to thee before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Cogregation.


text:
But if they blowe with one, then the princes, or heades ouer the thousandes of Israel shall come vnto thee.


text:
When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the <n>That is, the host of Judah and they that are under his ensign.</n> east parts shall go forward.


text:
When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the <n>Meaning, the heart of Reuben.</n> south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.


text:
And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall <n>So that only the priests must blow the trumpets, as long as the priesthood lasted.</n> blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.


text:
And when ye goe to warre in your lande against the enemie that vexeth you, ye shall blowe an alarme with the trumpets, and ye shall bee remembred before the Lorde your God, and shalbe saued from your enemies.


text:
Also in the day of your <n>When you rejoice that God has removed any plague.</n> gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I [am] the LORD your God.


text:
And in the seconde yeere, in the seconde moneth, and in the twentieth day of the moneth the cloude was taken vp from the Tabernacle of the Testimonie.


text:
And ye children of Israel departed on their iourneys out of the desart of Sinai, &amp; the cloud rested in the wildernesse of Paran.


text:
And they <n>From Sinai to Paran, (Num_33:1).</n> first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.


text:
In the first place went the standerd of the hoste of the children of Iudah, according to their armies: and Nahshon the sonne of Amminabad was ouer his band.


text:
And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing <n>With all the belongings of it.</n> the tabernacle.


text:
After, departed the standerd of the hoste of Reuben, according to their armies, and ouer his band was Elizur the sonne of Shedeur.


text:
And the Kohathites set forward, <n>Upon their shoulders.</n> bearing the sanctuary: and <n>The Merarites and Gershonites.</n> [the other] did set up the tabernacle against they came.


text:
Then the standerd of the hoste of the children of Ephraim went forward according to their armies, and ouer his bande was Elishama the sonne of Ammiud.


text:
And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, [which was] the <n>Leaving none behind, nor any of the former that fainted in the way.</n> rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host [was] Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.


text:
<n>This was the order of their host when they travelled.</n>Thus [were] the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.


text:
And Moses said unto <n>Some think that Reuel, Jethro, Hobab, and Keni were all one: Kimhi says that Reuel was Jethro's father: so Hobab was Moses father-in-law, see (Exo_2:18, Exo_3:1, Exo_4:18, Exo_18:1; Jdg_4:11)</n> Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.


text:
Then he sayd, I pray thee, leaue vs not: for thou knowest our camping places in the wildernesse: therefore thou mayest be our guide.


text:
And they departed from the <n>Mount Sinai, or Horeb.</n> mount of the LORD three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.


text:
And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, <n>Declare your might and power.</n> Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.


text:
Vvhen the people became murmurers, it displeased the Lorde: and the Lorde heard it, therefore his wrath was kindled, and the fire of the Lorde burnt among them, and consumed the vtmost parte of the hoste.


text:
And the mixt <n>Which were of those strangers that came out of Egypt with them, (Exo_12:38).</n> multitude that [was] among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?


text:
We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt <n>For a final price, or good cheap.</n> freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:


text:
But now our soul [is] <n>For the greedy lust of flesh.</n> dried away: [there is] nothing at all, beside this manna, [before] our eyes.


text:
And the manna [was] as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of <n>Which is a white pearl, or precious stone.</n> bdellium.


text:
The people went about and gathered it, and ground it in milles, or beat it in morters, and baked it in a cauldron, and made cakes of it, and the taste of it was like vnto the taste of fresh oyle.


text:
Then Moses heard the people weepe throughout their families, euery man in the doore of his tent, and the wrath of the Lord was grieuously kindled: also Moses was grieued.


text:
And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found <n>Or, how have I displeased you?</n> favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?


text:
Have I <n>Am I their father, that no one may have charge of them but I?</n> conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the <n>Of Canaan promised by another to our fathers.</n> land which thou swarest unto their fathers?


text:
Where should I haue flesh to giue vnto al this people? For they weepe vnto me, saying, Giue vs flesh that we may eate.


text:
And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy <n>I would rather die than see my grief and misery daily increased by their rebellion.</n> sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.


text:
Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Gather vnto me seuetie men of ye Elders of Israel, whome thou knowest, that they are the Elders of the people, and gouernonrs ouer them, &amp; bring them vnto the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and let them stand there with thee,


text:
And I will come down and talk with thee there: <n>I will distribute my spirit among them, as I have done to you.</n> and I will take of the spirit which [is] upon thee, and will put [it] upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear [it] not thyself alone.


text:
And say thou unto the people, <n>Prepare yourselves that you may be clean.</n> Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for [it was] well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.


text:
[But] even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have <n>Or, cast him off, because you refused manna, which he appointed as most suitable for you.</n> despised the LORD which [is] <n>Who leads and governs you.</n> among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?


text:
And Moses said, The people, <n>Of whom I have charge.</n> among whom I [am], [are] six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.


text:
Shall the sheepe and the beeues be slaine for them, to finde them? Either shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them to suffice them?


text:
And the Lorde saide vnto Moses, Is the Lordes hand shortened? Thou shalt see now whether my word shal come to passe vnto thee, or no.


text:
So Moses went out, and told the people the wordes of the Lorde, and gathered seuentie men of the Elders of the people, and set them round about the Tabernacle.


text:
And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that [was] upon him, and gave [it] unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, [that], when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not <n>From that day the spirit of prophecy did not settle them.</n> cease.


text:
But there remained two of the men in the hoste: the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad, and the Spirit rested vpon them, (for they were of them that were written, and went not out vnto the Tabernacle) and they prophecied in the hoste.


text:
Then there ranne a yong man, and tolde Moses, and saide, Eldad and Medad doe prophesie in the hoste.


text:
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, [one] of his <n>Or, a young man whom he had chosen from his youth.</n> young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, <n>Such blind zeal was in the apostles, (Mar_9:38; Luk_9:44).</n> forbid them.


text:
But Moses saide vnto him, Enuiest thou for my sake? yea, would God that all the Lordes people were Prophets, and that the Lord woulde put his Spirit vpon them.


text:
Then there went foorth a winde from the Lorde, and brought quailes from the Sea, and let them fall vpon the campe, a dayes iourney on this side, and a dayes iourney on the other side, round about the hoste, and they were about two cubites aboue the earth.


text:
And the people stood up all that day, and all [that] night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten <n>Of Homer, read (Lev_27:16) also it signifies a heap, as in (Exo_8:14; Jdg_15:16).</n> homers: and they spread [them] all abroad for themselves round about the camp.


text:
While the flesh was yet betweene their teeth, before it was chewed, euen the wrath of the Lorde was kindled against the people, and the Lorde smote the people with an exceeding great plague.


text:
So the name of the place was called, Kibroth-hattaauah: for there they buried the people that fell a lusting.


text:
And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married <n>Zipporah, Moses' wife, was a Midianite, and because Midian bordered on Ethiopia, it is sometimes referred to in the scriptures by this name.</n> an Ethiopian woman.


text:
And they saide, What? hath the Lorde spoken but onely by Moses? hath he not spoken also by vs? and the Lord heard this.


text:
(Now the man Moses [was] very <n>And so endured their grudging, although he knew of them.</n> meek, above all the men which [were] upon the face of the earth.)


text:
And by and by the Lorde sayd vnto Moses, and vnto Aaron, and vnto Miriam, come out yee three vnto the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and they three came forth.


text:
Then the Lorde came downe in the pillar of the cloude, and stoode in the doore of the Tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam, &amp; they both came forth.


text:
And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, [I] the LORD will make myself known unto him in a <n>These were the two ordinary means.</n> vision, [and] will speak unto him in a dream.


text:
My servant Moses [is] not so, who [is] faithful <n>In all Israel which was his Church.</n> in all mine house.


text:
With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he <n>As far as any man was able to comprehend, which he calls his back parts, (Exo_33:23).</n> behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?


text:
And the cloud departed from off the <n>From the door of the tabernacle.</n> tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam [became] leprous, [white] as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, [she was] leprous.


text:
Then Aaron saide vnto Moses, Alas, my Lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sinne vpon vs, which we haue foolishly committed and wherein we haue sinned.


text:
Let her not be as one <n>As a child that is stillborn, as if it is only the skin.</n> dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.


text:
And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but <n>In his displeasure.</n> spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in [again].


text:
So Miriam was shut out of the hoste seuen dayes, and the people remooued not, till Miriam was brought in againe.


text:
And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of <n>That is, in Rithmah, which was in Paran, (Num_33:18).</n> Paran.


text:
<n>After the people had required it of Moses, as it is in (Deu_1:22) then the Lord told Moses to do it.</n>Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.


text:
{\cf2 (13:4)} Then Moses sent them out of the wildernesse of Paran at the commandement of the Lorde: all those men were heades of the children of Israel.


text:
These [are] the names of the <n>Which in number were twelve according to the twelve tribes.</n> men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.


text:
{\cf2 (13:18)} So Moses sent them to spie out the lande of Canaan, &amp; said vnto them, Go vp this way toward the South, and go vp into the moutaines,


text:
{\cf2 (13:19)} And consider the land what it is, and the people that dwel therein, whether they be strong or weake, either fewe or many,


text:
And what the land [is] that they dwell in, whether it [be] <n>Plentiful or barren.</n> good or bad; and what cities [they be] that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;


text:
{\cf2 (13:21)} And what the land is: whether it be fat or leane, whether there be trees therein, or not. And be of good courage, and bring of the fruite of the lande (for then was the time of the first ripe grapes)


text:
So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of <n>Which was in the wilderness of Paran.</n> Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.


text:
And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of <n>Which were a type of giant.</n> Anak, [were]. (Now <n>Declaring the antiquity of it: also Abraham, Sarah, Isaac and Jacob were buried there.</n> Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)


text:
{\cf2 (13:24)} Then they came to the riuer of Eshcol, and cut downe thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it vpon a barre betwene two, and brought of the pomegranates and of the figges.


text:
{\cf2 (13:25)} That place was called the riuer Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes, which the children of Israel cut downe thence.


text:
And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of <n>Called also Kadesh-barnea.</n> Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.


text:
And they told <n>That is, Moses.</n> him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this [is] the fruit of it.


text:
Nevertheless the people [be] strong that dwell in the land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and moreover we saw the <n>Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, whom Caleb slew afterward, (Jos_11:21-22).</n> children of Anak there.


text:
{\cf2 (13:30)} The Amalekites dwell in the South countrey, and the Hittites, and the Iebusites, &amp; the Amorites dwell in the mountaines, &amp; the Canaanites dwell by the sea, &amp; by the coast of Iorden.


text:
{\cf2 (13:31)} Then Caleb stilled the people before Moses, &amp; saide, Let vs go vp at once, and possesse it: for vndoubtedly we shall ouercome it.


text:
{\cf2 (13:32)} But the men, that went vp with him, saide, we be not able to goe vp against the people: for they are stronger then we.


text:
And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, [is] a land that <n>The giants were so cruel, that they spoiled and killed one another and those that came to them.</n> eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it [are] men of a great stature.


text:
{\cf2 (13:34)} For there we sawe gyants, the sonnes of Anak, which come of the gyants, so that we seemed in our sight like grashoppers: and so wee were in their sight.


text:
And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the <n>Those who were afraid at the report of the ten spies.</n> people wept that night.


text:
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron: and the whole assemblie said vnto them, Would God we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wildernesse: would God we were dead.


text:
And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be <n>To our enemies the Canaanites.</n> a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?


text:
Then Moses and Aaron <n>Lamenting the people, and praying for them.</n> fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.


text:
And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [which were] of them that searched the land, <n>For sorrow, hearing their blasphemy.</n> rent their clothes:


text:
And spake vnto all the assemblie of the childre of Israel, saying, The land which we walked through to search it, is a very good lande.


text:
If the Lorde loue vs, he will bring vs into this land, and giue it vs, which is a land that floweth with milke and honie.


text:
Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they [are] <n>We shall easily overcome them.</n> bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD [is] with us: fear them not.


text:
But all the congregation bade <n>This is the condition of those who would persuade in God's cause, to be persecuted by the multitude.</n> stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.


text:
And the Lord said vnto Moses, How long will this people prouoke me, and howe long will it be, yer they beleeue me, for al the signes which I haue shewed among them?


text:
I will smite them with the pestilence and destroy them, and will make thee a greater nation and mightier then they.


text:
But Moses saide vnto the Lorde, When the Egyptians shall heare it, (for thou broughtest this people by thy power from among them)


text:
Then they shall say to the inhabitants of this land, (for they haue heard that thou, Lorde, art among this people, and that thou, Lorde, art seene face to face, and that thy cloude standeth ouer them, and that thou goest before them by day time in a pillar of a cloude, and in a pillar of fire by night)


text:
Now [if] thou shalt kill [all] this people as <n>So that none shall escape.</n> one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,


text:
Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the lande, which he sware vnto them, therefore hath he slaine them in the wildernesse.


text:
The Lord is slowe to anger, and of great mercie, and forgiuing iniquitie, and sinne, but not making the wicked innocent, and visiting the wickednes of the fathers vpon the children, in the thirde and fourth generation:


text:
Be mercifull, I beseech thee, vnto the iniquitie of this people, according to thy great mercie, and as thou hast forgiuen this people from Egypt, euen vntill nowe.


text:
And the LORD said, I have pardoned <n>In that he did not utterly destroy them, but allowed their children and certain others to enter.</n> according to thy word:


text:
Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these <n>That is, various times and often.</n> ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;


text:
Certainely they shall not see the lande, whereof I sware vnto their fathers: neither shall any that prouoke me, see it.


text:
But my servant Caleb, because he had another <n>A meek and obedient spirit, and not rebellious.</n> spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.


text:
(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites <n>And lie in wait for you.</n> dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the <n>For I will not defend you.</n> wilderness by the way of the Red sea.


text:
How long shall I suffer this wicked multitude to murmure against me? I haue heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmure against me.


text:
Tell them, As I liue (saith the Lorde) I wil surely do vnto you, euen as ye haue spoken in mine eares.


text:
Your carkeises shall fall in this wildernes, and all you that were counted through all your nombers, from twentie yeere olde and aboue, which haue murmured against me,


text:
Ye shall not doubtles come into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hande, to make you dwell therein, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun.


text:
But your children, (which ye said shoulde be a pray) them will I bring in, and they shall knowe the lande which ye haue refused:


text:
And your children shall <n>The word signifies to be shepherds, or to wander like shepherds to and fro.</n> wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your <n>Your infidelity and disobedience against God.</n> whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.


text:
After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, [even] forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, [even] forty years, and ye <n>Whether my promise is true or not.</n> shall know my breach of promise.


text:
I the Lord haue said, Certainely I will doe so to all this wicked company, that are gathered together against me: for in this wildernesse they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.


text:
And the men which Moses had sent to search the land (which, when they came againe, made all the people to murmure against him, and brought vp a slander vpon the lande)


text:
Euen those men that did bring vp that vile slander vpon the land, shall die by a plague before the Lorde.


text:
But Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, of those men that went to search the land, shall liue.


text:
And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we [be here], and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have <n>They confessed their sin in rebelling against God, but did not consider their offence in going up without God's commandment.</n> sinned.


text:
But Moses said, Wherefore transgresse yee thus the commandement of the Lorde? it will not so come well to passe.


text:
For the Amalekites &amp; the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sworde: for in as much as ye are turned away from the Lord, the Lord also will not be with you.


text:
But they <n>They could not be stayed by any means.</n> presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.


text:
Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites, which dwelt in that mountaine, came downe &amp; smote them, &amp; consumed them vnto Hormah.


text:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the <n>Into the land of Canaan.</n> land of your habitations, which I give unto you,


text:
And will make an offring by fire vnto the Lorde, a burnt offring or a sacrifice to fulfil a vowe, or a free offring, or in your feastes, to make a sweete sauour vnto the Lord of the hearde, or of the flocke.


text:
Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth [part] of an <n>Read (Exo_29:40).</n> hin of oil.


text:
Also thou shalt prepare ye fourth part of an Hin of wine to be powred on a lambe, appointed for the burnt offring or any offring.


text:
And for a ram, thou shalt for a meat offring, prepare two tenth deales of fine floure, mingled with the third part of an Hin of oyle.


text:
And for a <n>The liquor was so called, because it was poured on the thing that was offered.</n> drink offering thou shalt offer the third [part] of an hin of wine, [for] a sweet savour unto the LORD.


text:
And when thou preparest a bullocke for a burnt offring, or for a sacrifice to fulfill a vowe or a peace offring to the Lord,


text:
Then let him offer with ye bullocke a meate offring of three tenth deales of fine floure, mingled with halfe an Hin of oyle.


text:
And thou shalt bring for a drinke offring halfe an Hin of wine, for an offring made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lord.


text:
According to the number <n>Every sacrifice of beasts must have their meat offering and drink offering according to this proportion.</n> that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.


text:
All that are borne of the countrey, shall do these things thus, to offer an offring made by fire of sweete sauour vnto the Lord.


text:
And if a stranger soiourne with you, or whosoeuer bee among you in your generations, and will make an offring by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lord, as ye do, so hee shall doe.


text:
One ordinace shalbe both for you of the Congregation, &amp; also for the stranger that dwelleth with you, euen an ordinance for euer in your generations: as you are, so shall the stranger bee before the Lord.


text:
Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye be come into the lande, to the which I bring you,


text:
Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your <n>Which is made from the first corn you harvest.</n> dough [for] an heave offering: as [ye do] the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.


text:
And if ye <n>By oversight or ignorance, read (Lev_4:2, Lev_4:13).</n> have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,


text:
Euen all that the Lorde hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the first day that the Lord commanded Moses, and hence forward among your generations:


text:
And if so be that ought be committed ignorantly of the Congregation, then all ye Congregatio shal giue a bullocke for a burnt offring, for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord, with the meat offring and drinke offring thereto, according to the maner, and an hee goate for a sinne offring.


text:
And the Priest shall make an atonement for al the Congregation of the children of Israel, and it shalbe forgiuen them: for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offring for an offring made by fire vnto the Lord, and their sinne offering before the Lord for their ignorance.


text:
Then it shalbe forgiuen all the Congregation of the children of Israel, &amp; the stranger that dwelleth among them: for all the people were in ignorance.


text:
But if any one person sinne through ignorance, then he shall bring a shee goate of a yeere olde for a sinne offring.


text:
And the Priest shall make an atonement for the ignorant person, when hee sinneth by ignorance before the Lord, to make reconciliation for him: and it shalbe forgiuen him.


text:
He that is borne among the children of Israel, and the stranger that dwelleth among them, shall haue both one lawe, who so doth sinne by ignorance.


text:
But the person that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be borne in the land, or a stranger, the same blasphemeth the Lord: therefore that person shalbe cut off from among his people,


text:
Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his <n>He shall sustain the punishment of his sin.</n> iniquity [shall be] upon him.


text:
And while the children of Israel were in the wildernesse, they found a man that gathered stickes vpon the Sabbath day.


text:
And they that found him gathering sticks, brought him vnto Moses and to Aaron, and vnto all the Congregation,


text:
Then the Lord said vnto Moses, This man shall dye the death: &amp; let al the multitude stone him with stones without the hoste.


text:
And all the Congregation brought him without the hoste, and stoned him with stones, and he died, as the Lord had commanded Moses.


text:
Speake vnto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes vpon the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and put vpon the fringes of the borders a ryband of blewe silke.


text:
And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a <n>By leaving God's commandments and following your own fantasies.</n> whoring:


text:
I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to bee your God: I am the Lord your God.


text:
Nowe Korah the sonne of Izhar, the sonne of Kohath, the sonne of Leui went apart with Dathan, and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab, &amp; On the sonne of Peleth, the sonnes of Reuben:


text:
And they rose vp against Moses, with certaine of the children of Israel, two hundreth and fiftie captaines of the assemblie, famous in the Congregation, and men of renoume,


text:
And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, <n>Or let it suffice you: meaning, to have abused them this long.</n> [Ye take] too much upon you, seeing all the congregation [are] holy, <n>All are equally holy: therefore no one should be preferred above other: thus the wicked reason against God's ordinance.</n> every one of them, and the LORD [is] among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?


text:
And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who [are] his, and [who is] holy; and will cause [him] to come near unto him: even [him] whom he hath <n>To be the priest and to offer.</n> chosen will he cause to come near unto him.


text:
And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be [that] the man whom the LORD doth choose, he [shall be] holy: <n>He lays the same to their charge justly, with which they wrongfully charged him.</n> [ye take] too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.


text:
Seemeth it a smal thing vnto you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel, to take you neere to himselfe, to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Lord, &amp; to stand before the Congregation and to minister vnto them?


text:
And he hath brought thee near [to <n>To serve in the congregation, as in the verse before.</n> him], and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?


text:
For which cause, thou, and all thy companie are gathered together against the Lord: and what is Aaron, that ye murmure against him?


text:
[Is it] a small thing that thou hast brought us up <n>Thus they spoke contemptuously, preferring Egypt to Canaan.</n> out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?


text:
Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou <n>Will you make those who searched the land believe that they did not see that which they saw?</n> put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.


text:
Then Moses waxed verie angry, and saide vnto the Lord, Looke not vnto their offring: I haue not taken so much as an asse from them, neither haue I hurt any of them.


text:
And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company <n>At the door of the tabernacle.</n> before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:


text:
And take euery man his censor, and put incense in them, and bring ye euery man his censor before the Lord, two hundreth and fiftie censors: thou also and Aaron, euery one his censor.


text:
So they tooke euery man his censor, and put fire in them, and laide incense thereon, and stoode in the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation with Moses and Aaron.


text:
And Korah gathered all the <n>All that were of their faction.</n> congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.


text:
And they fell vpon their faces and saide, O God the God of the spirits, of all fleshe, hath not one man onely sinned, and wilt thou bee wroth with all the Congregation?


text:
Speake vnto the Congregation &amp; say, Get you away from about the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.


text:
And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed <n>With them that have committed so many sins.</n> in all their sins.


text:
So they gate them away from the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram on euerie side: and Dathan, and Abiram came out &amp; stood in the doore of their tentes with their wiues, and their sonnes, and their little children.


text:
And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for [I have] not [done them] of mine own <n>I have not invented them from my own brain.</n> mind.


text:
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men, the Lord hath not sent me.


text:
But if the LORD make <n>Or, show a strange sight.</n> a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that [appertain] unto them, and they go down quick into <n>Or, deep and dark places of the earth.</n> the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.


text:
And assoone as he had made an ende of speaking all these wordes, euen the ground claue asunder that was vnder them,


text:
And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them vp, with their families, and all the men that were with Korah, and all their goods.


text:
So they and all that they had, went down aliue into the pit, and the earth couered them: so they perished from among the Congregation.


text:
And all Israel that were about them, fled at the crie of them: for they said, Let vs flee, least the earth swalow vs vp.


text:
But there came out a fire from the Lorde, and consumed the two hundreth and fiftie men that offred the incense.


text:
Speake vnto Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron the Priest, that he take vp the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire beyond the altar: for they are halowed,


text:
The censers of these sinners <n>Who caused their own death.</n> against their own souls, let them make them broad plates [for] a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a <n>Of God's judgments against rebels.</n> sign unto the children of Israel.


text:
Then Eleazar the Priest tooke the brasen censers, which they, that were burnt, had offred, and made broade plates of them for a couering of the Altar.


text:
[To be] a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which [is] not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as <n>Who presumed above his calling.</n> Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.


text:
But on the morowe all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses &amp; against Aaron, saying, Ye haue killed the people of the Lord.


text:
And when the Congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, then they turned their faces toward the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and beholde, the cloude couered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.


text:
Get you vp from among this Congregation: for I wil consume them quickly: then they fell vpon their faces.


text:
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the <n>For it was not lawful to take any other fire, but of the altar of burnt offering, (Lev_10:1).</n> altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.


text:
And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the <n>God had begun to punish the people.</n> plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.


text:
And he stood between the dead and the living; and the <n>God drew back his hand and stopped punishing them.</n> plague was stayed.


text:
So they died of this plague fourtene thousande and seuen hundreth, beside them that dyed in the conspiracie of Korah.


text:
And Aaro went againe vnto Moses before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the plague was stayed.


text:
Speake vnto the children of Israel, and take of euery one of them a rod, after the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the familie of their fathers, euen twelue rods: and thou shalt write euery mans name vpon his rod.


text:
And write Aarons name vpon the rod of Leui: for euery rodde shalbe for the head of the house of their fathers.


text:
And thou shalt put them in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before the Arke of the Testimonie, where I wil declare my selfe to you.


text:
And it shall come to pass, [that] the man's rod, whom I shall <n>To be the chief priest.</n> choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.


text:
And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, [even] twelve rods: and the rod <n>Though Joseph's tribe was divided into two in the distribution of the land, yet here it is but one and Levi makes a tribe.</n> of Aaron [was] among their rods.


text:
And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron <n>To declare that God chose the house of Levi to serve him in the tabernacle.</n> for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.


text:
Then Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lorde vnto all the children of Israel: and they looked vpon them, &amp; tooke euery man his rodde.


text:
And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their <n>Grudging that Aaron should be high priest.</n> murmurings from me, that they die not.


text:
And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, <n>The Chaldea text describes their complaining in this way; «We die by the sword, the earth swallows us up, the pestilence consumes us.»</n> we die, we perish, we all perish.


text:
Whosoeuer commeth neere, or approcheth to the Tabernacle of the Lorde, shal dye: shal we be consumed and dye?


text:
And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear <n>If you trespass in anything concerning the ceremonies of the sanctuary of your office, you will be punished.</n> the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.


text:
And bring also with thee thy brethren of the tribe of Leui of ye familie of thy father, which shalbe ioyned with thee, and minister vnto thee: but thou, and thy sonnes with thee shall minister before the Tabernacle of the Testimonie:


text:
And they shall <n>That is, the things which are committed to you, or, which you command them.</n> keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.


text:
And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a <n>Which was not of the tribe of Levi.</n> stranger shall not come nigh unto you.


text:
Therefore shall ye keepe the charge of the Sanctuarie, and the charge of the altar: so there shall fall no more wrath vpon the children of Israel.


text:
For lo, I haue taken your brethren the Leuites from among the children of Israel, which as a gift of yours, are giuen vnto the Lord, to do the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.


text:
But thou, and thy sonnes with thee shall keepe your Priestes office for all things of the altar, and within the vaile: therefore shal ye serue: for I haue made your Priestes office an office of seruice: therefore the stranger that cometh neere, shalbe slayne.


text:
And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave <n>As the first fruit, first born, and the tithes.</n> offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.


text:
This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved] from the <n>That which was not burned should be the priests.</n> fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, [shall be] most holy for thee and for thy sons.


text:
In the most <n>That is, in the sanctuary between the court and the holiest of holies.</n> holy [place] shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.


text:
And this [is] thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy <n>Read (Lev_10:14).</n> daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.


text:
All the <n>Or, fat; chiefest.</n> best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee.


text:
And the first ripe of al that is in their land, which they shal bring vnto Lord, shalbe thine: all the cleane in thine house shal eate of it.


text:
All that first openeth the matrice of any flesh, which they shal offer vnto the Lord, of man or beast, shalbe thine: but the first borne of man shalt thou redeeme, and the first borne of the vncleane beast shalt thou redeeme.


text:
And those that are to bee redeemed, shalt thou redeeme from the age of a moneth, according to thy estimation, for the money of fiue shekels, after the shekel of the Sanctuarie, which is twentie gerahs.


text:
But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not <n>Because they are appointed for sacrifice.</n> redeem; they [are] holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat [for] an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.


text:
All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it [is] a covenant <n>That is, sure, stable and incorruptible.</n> of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.


text:
And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their <n>Of Canaan.</n> land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I [am] thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.


text:
For beholde, I haue giuen the children of Leui all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their seruice which they serue in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.


text:
Neither must the children of Israel henceforth <n>To serve in it: for the Levites are put in their place.</n> come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.


text:
But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear <n>If they fail in their office, they will be punished.</n> their iniquity: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.


text:
For the tythes of the children of Israel, which they shal offer as an offring vnto the Lord, I haue giuen the Leuites for an inheritance: therfore I haue said vnto them, Among the children of Israel ye shal possesse none inheritance.


text:
Speake also vnto the Leuites and say vnto them, When ye shal take of the children of Israel the tithes, which I haue giuen you of them for your inheritance, then shal ye take an heaue offring of that same for the Lorde, euen the tenth part of the tithe.


text:
And [this] your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though [it were] the <n>As acceptable as the fruit of your own ground or vineyard.</n> corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.


text:
So ye shal also offer an heaue offring vnto the Lorde of all your tithes, which ye shal receiue of the children of Israel, and ye shal giue thereof the Lords heaue offring to Aaron the Priest.


text:
Out of all your <n>Which you have received from the children of Israel.</n> gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the <n>Read (Num_18:12).</n> best thereof, [even] the hallowed part thereof out of it.


text:
Therefore thou shalt say vnto them, When ye haue offred the fat thereof, then it shalbe couted vnto the Leuites, as the encrease of the corne floore, or as the encrease of the wine presse.


text:
And ye shall eat it in every <n>As in (Num_18:11).</n> place, ye and your households: for it [is] your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.


text:
And ye shall <n>You shall not be punished therefore.</n> bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy <n>The offerings which the Israelites have offered to God.</n> things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.


text:
<n>According to this law and ceremony you shall sacrifice the red cow.</n>This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein [is] no blemish, [and] upon which never came yoke:


text:
And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and <n>Another priest.</n> [one] shall slay her before his face:


text:
Then shall Eleazar the Priest take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle it before the Tabernacle of the Congregation seuen times,


text:
And cause the kow to be burnt in his sight: with her skinne, and her flesh, and her blood, &amp; her doung shal he burne her.


text:
Then shal the Priest take cedar wood, and hyssope &amp; skarlet lace, and cast them in the mids of the fire where the kow burneth.


text:
Then the <n>Meaning, Eleazar.</n> priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.


text:
And he that <n>The inferior priest who killed her, and burned her.</n> burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.


text:
And a man [that is] clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay [them] up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a <n>Or, the water of separation because they that were separate due to their uncleanness, were sprinkled with it and made clean, (Num_8:7). It is also called holy water, because it was ordained for a holy use, (Num_1:17).</n> water of separation: it [is] a purification for sin.


text:
Therefore he that gathereth the ashes of the kowe, shal wash his clothes, and remaine vncleane vntil euen: and it shalbe vnto the children of Israel, and vnto the stranger that dwelleth among them, a statute for euer.


text:
He shall purify himself <n>With the sprinkling of water.</n> with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.


text:
Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be <n>So that he should not be esteemed to be of the holy people, but as a polluted and excommunicated person.</n> cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness [is] yet upon him.


text:
This is the law, Whe a man dieth in a tent, all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shalbe vncleane seuen dayes,


text:
Also whosoeuer toucheth one that is slaine with a sworde in the fielde, or a dead person, or a bone of a dead man, or a graue, shall be vncleane seuen dayes.


text:
And for an unclean [person] they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for <n>Of the red cow burnt for sin.</n> sin, and <n>Water of the fountain or river.</n> running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:


text:
And a <n>One of the priests who is clean.</n> clean person shall take hyssop, and dip [it] in the water, and sprinkle [it] upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:


text:
And the clean [person] shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and <n>Because he had been among them that were unclean: or else had touched the water as in (Num_19:21).</n> wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.


text:
But the man that is vncleane and purifieth not himselfe, that person shalbe cut off fro among the Congregation, because hee hath defiled the Sanctuarie of the Lorde: and the sprinkling water hath not bene sprinkled vpon him: therefore shall he be vncleane.


text:
And it shalbe a perpetual lawe vnto them, that he that sprinkleth the sprinkling water, shall wash his clothes: also hee that toucheth the sprinkling water, shalbe vncleane vntill euen.


text:
And whatsoever the unclean [person] toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth <n>That is, unclean.</n> [it] shall be unclean until even.


text:
Then came the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first <n>This was forty years after their departure from Egypt.</n> month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and <n>Moses and Aaron's sister.</n> Miriam died there, and was buried there.


text:
And there was no water for the congregation: and they <n>Another rebellion was in Rephidim (Exo. 17:1-16), and this was in Kadesh.</n> gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.


text:
And the people chode with Moses, &amp; spake, saying, Would God we had perished, when our brethren died before the Lord.


text:
Why haue ye thus brought the Congregation of the Lorde vnto his wildernesse, that both we, and our cattell should die there?


text:
Wherefore nowe haue yee made vs to come vp from Egypt, to bring vs into this miserable place, which is no place of seede, nor figges, nor vines, nor pomegranates? Neither is there any water to drinke.


text:
Then Moses and Aaron went from the assemblie vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and fell vpon their faces: and the glory of the Lord appeared vnto them.


text:
Take the <n>With which you did miracles in Egypt and divided the sea.</n> rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.


text:
And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; <n>The punishment which followed declared that Moses and Aaron did not believe the Lord's promise as it appeared in (Num_20:12).</n> must we fetch you water out of this rock?


text:
Then Moses lift vp his hande, and with his rod he smote the rocke twise, and the water came out aboundantly: so the Congregation, and their beastes dranke.


text:
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to <n>That the children of Israel should believe and acknowledge my power and so honour me.</n> sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.


text:
This [is] the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he <n>By showing himself almighty and maintaining his glory.</n> was sanctified in them.


text:
And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of <n>Because Jacob or Israel was Esau's brother, who was called Edom.</n> Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:


text:
How our fathers went downe into Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time, where the Egyptians handled vs euill and our fathers.


text:
But when we cried vnto the Lord, he heard our voyce, and sent an Angel, and hath brought vs out of Egypt, and beholde, wee are in the citie Kadesh, in thine vtmost border.


text:
I pray thee that we may passe through thy countrey: we will not goe through the fieldes nor the vineyardes, neither will we drinke of the water of the welles: we will goe by the kings way, and neither turne vnto the right hand nor to the left, vntill we be past thy borders.


text:
Then the children of Israel said vnto him, We will goe vp by the hie way: and if I and my cattell drinke of thy water, I will then pay for it: I will onely (without any harme) goe through on my feete.


text:
Hee answered againe, Thou shalt not goe through. The Edom came out against him with much people, and with a mightie power.


text:
Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel <n>To pass by another way.</n> turned away from him.


text:
And when the children of Israel with al the Congregation departed from Kadesh, they came vnto the mount Hor.


text:
And the Lorde spake vnto Moses and to Aaron in the mount Hor neere the coast of the land of Edom, saying,


text:
Aaron shall be <n>Read (Gen_25:8).</n> gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.


text:
And cause Aaron to put off his garmentes and put them vpon Eleazar his sonne: for Aaron shall be gathered to his fathers, and shall die there.


text:
And Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went vp into the mount Hor, in the sight of all the Congregation.


text:
And Moses put off Aarons clothes, &amp; put them vpon Eleazar his sonne: so Aaron dyed there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came downe from off the mount.


text:
When al the Congregation sawe that Aaron was dead, al the house of Israel wept for Aaron thirtie dayes.


text:
And [when] king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the <n>By that way which their spies, that searched the dangers found to he most safe.</n> way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took [some] of them prisoners.


text:
So Israel vowed a vowe vnto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt deliuer and giue this people into mine hand, then I wil vtterly destroy their cities.


text:
And the Lord heard the voyce of Israel, and deliuered them the Canaanites: and they vtterly destroied them and their cities, and called ye name of the place Hormah.


text:
And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to <n>For they were forbidden to destroy it, (Deu_2:5).</n> compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.


text:
And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for [there is] no bread, neither [is there any] water; and our soul loatheth this light <n>Meaning manna, which they thought did not nourish.</n> bread.


text:
And the LORD sent <n>For they that were bitten by them were so inflamed by the poison of them, that they died.</n> fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.


text:
Therefore the people came to Moses &amp; said, We haue sinned: for wee haue spoken against the Lord, and against thee: pray to the Lorde, that he take away the serpents from vs: and Moses prayed for the people.


text:
And the Lord said vnto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it vp for a signe, that as many as are bitten, may looke vpon it, and liue.


text:
So Moses made a serpent of brasse, and set it vp for a signe: and when a serpent had bitten a man, then he looked to the serpent of brasse, and liued.


text:
And they departed from Oboth, &amp; pitched in lie-abarim, in the wildernesse, which is before Moab on the Eastside.


text:
Thence they departed, &amp; pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wildernesse, and commeth out of the coasts of the Amorites: (for Arnon is the border of Moab, betweene the Moabites and the Amorites)


text:
Wherefore it is said in the <n>Which seems to be the book of the Judges, or as some think, a book which is lost.</n> book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,


text:
And at the streame of the riuers that goeth downe to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth vpon the border of Moab.


text:
And from thence they turned to Beer: the same is the well where the Lord said vnto Moses, Assemble the people, and I wil giue them water.


text:
Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; <n>You that receive the convenience of it, give praise for it.</n> sing ye unto it:


text:
The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by [the direction of] the <n>Only Moses and Aaron, the heads of the people, struck the rock with the rod or staff, which gave water as a well that was deep digged.</n> lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness [they went] to Mattanah:


text:
And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the plaine of Moab, to the top of Pisgah that looketh toward Ieshimon.


text:
Let me goe through thy land: we wil not turne aside into the fieldes, nor into the vineyardes, neither drinke of the waters of ye welles: we will goe by the kings way, vntill we be past thy countrey.


text:
But Sihon gaue Israel no licence to passe through his countrey, but Sihon assembled all his people, and went out against Israel into the wildernesse: and he came to Iahoz, and fought against Israel.


text:
And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto <n>The river.</n> Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon [was] <n>For the people were tall and strong like giants; (Deu_2:20).</n> strong.


text:
And Israel tooke al these cities, &amp; dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites in Heshbon and in all the villages thereof.


text:
For <n>For if it had been the Moabites, the Israelites might not have possessed it, (Deu_2:9).</n> Heshbon [was] the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.


text:
Wherefore they that speake in prouerbes, say, Come to Heshbon, let the citie of Sihon bee built and repaired:


text:
For there is a <n>Meaning, wane.</n> fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, [and] the lords of the high places of Arnon.


text:
Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of <n>Chemosh was the idol of the Moabites, (1Ki_11:33) who was not able to defend his worshippers, who took the idol for their father.</n> Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.


text:
Their empire also is lost from Heshbon vnto Dibon, and wee haue destroyed them vnto Nophah, which reacheth vnto Medeba.


text:
And Moses sent to searche out Iaazer, and they tooke the townes belonging thereto, and rooted out the Amorites that were there.


text:
And they turned and went vp toward Bashan: and Og the King of Bashan came out against them, hee, and all his people, to fight at Edrei.


text:
Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Feare him not: for I haue deliuered him into thine hand and all his people, and his land: and thou shalt do to him as thou diddest vnto Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.


text:
They smote him therefore, and his sonnes, and all his people, vntill there was none left him: so they conquered his land.


text:
And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on <n>Being at Jericho, it was beyond the Jordan, but where the Israelites were, it was on this side.</n> this side Jordan [by] Jericho.


text:
And the Moabites were sore afraide of the people, because they were many, and Moab fretted against the children of Israel.


text:
And Moab said unto the <n>Who were the heads and governors.</n> elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all [that are] round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor [was] king of the Moabites at that time.


text:
He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which [is] by the <n>That is, Euphrates, upon which stood this city Pethor.</n> river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:


text:
Come now therefore, I pray thee, and curse me this people (for they are stronger then I) so it may be that I shall be able to smite them, and to driue them out of the land: for I knowe that hee, whome thou blessest, is blessed, and he whom thou cursest, shall be cursed.

And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with <n>Thinking to bribe him with gifts to curse the Israelites.</n> the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.


text:
And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and <n>Whom before he called elders: meaning the governors, and later calls them servants: that is, subjects to their king.</n> the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.


text:
Beholde, there is a people come out of Egypt and couereth the face of the earth: come nowe, curse them for my sake: so it may be that I shalbe able to ouercome them in battell, and to driue them out.


text:
And God <n>He warned him by a dream, that he should not consent to the kings wicked request.</n> said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they [are] blessed.


text:
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give <n>Or else he would have been willing, covetousness had so blinded his heart.</n> me leave to go with you.


text:
So the princes of Moab rose vp, and went vnto Balak, &amp; sayd, Balaam hath refused to come with vs.


text:
And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, <n>The wicked seek by all means to further their naughty enterprises, though they know that God is against them.</n> Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:


text:
For I wil promote thee vnto great honour, and wil do whatsoeuer thou sayest vnto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.


text:
And Balaam answered, and sayde vnto the seruants of Balak, If Balak woulde giue me his house full of siluer and golde, I can not goe beyonde the worde of the Lorde my God, to doe lesse or more.


text:
Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me <n>Because he tempted God to require him contrary to his commandment, his petition was granted, but it turned to his own condemnation.</n> more.


text:
And God came vnto Balaam by night, and sayd vnto him, If the men come to call thee, rise vp, and goe with them: but onely what thing I say vnto thee, that shalt thou doe.


text:
And God's anger was kindled because he <n>Moved rather with covetousness than to obey God.</n> went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants [were] with him.


text:
And when the asse saw the Angel of the Lord stand in the way, and his sworde drawen in his hand, the asse turned out of the way and went into the field, but Balaam smote the asse, to turne her into the way.


text:
<n>The second time.</n>But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall [being] on this side, and a wall on that side.


text:
And when the asse sawe the Angel of the Lord, she thrust her selfe vnto the wall, and dasht Balaams foote against the wall: wherefore hee smote her againe.


text:
Then the Angel of the Lord went further, &amp; stoode in a narowe place, where was no way to turne, either to the right hand, or to the left.


text:
And when the asse sawe the Angell of the Lorde, she lay downe vnder Balaam: therefore Balaam was very wroth, and smote the asse with a staffe.


text:
And the LORD <n>Gave her power to speak.</n> opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?


text:
And Balaam saide vnto the asse, Because thou hast mocked me: I woulde there were a sworde in mine hand, for nowe would I kill thee.


text:
And the ass said unto Balaam, [Am] not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever <n>Since you have been my master.</n> since [I was] thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.


text:
Then the LORD <n>For if the Lord does not open your eyes, you can see neither his anger or his love.</n> opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.


text:
And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because [thy] <n>Both your heart is corrupt and your enterprise wicked.</n> way is perverse before me:


text:
But the asse sawe me, and turned fro me now three times: for els, if she had not turned fro me, surely I had euen nowe slaine thee, and saued her aliue.


text:
Then Balaam saide vnto the Angel of the Lorde, I haue sinned: for I wist not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore if it displease thee, I will turne home againe.


text:
And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the <n>Because his heart was evil, his charge was renewed, that he should not pretend ignorance.</n> word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.


text:
And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which [is] in the <n>Near the place where the Israelites camped.</n> border of Arnon, which [is] in the utmost coast.


text:
Then Balak saide vnto Balaam, Did I not sende for thee to call thee? Wherefore camest thou not vnto me? am I not able in deede to promote thee vnto honour?


text:
And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say <n>On my own I can say nothing, I will only speak what God reveals, whether it is good or bad.</n> any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.


text:
Then Balak offred bullockes, and sheepe, and sent thereof to Balaam, &amp; to the princes that were with him.


text:
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of <n>Where the idol Baal was worshipped.</n> Baal, that thence he might see the utmost [part] of the people.


text:
And Balaam sayd vnto Balak, Builde me here seuen altars, and prepare me here seuen bullockes, and seuen rammes.


text:
And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and <n>For among the Gentiles the kings often used to sacrifice, as did the priests.</n> Balak and Balaam offered on [every] altar a bullock and a ram.


text:
Then Balaam sayde vnto Balak, Stande by the burnt offring, and I will goe, if so be that the Lorde will come and meete me: and whatsoeuer he sheweth me, I will tell thee: so he went forth alone.


text:
And God <n>Appeared to him.</n> met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon [every] altar a bullock and a ram.


text:
And the LORD <n>Taught him what to say.</n> put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.


text:
So when he returned vnto him, loe, hee stoode by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.


text:
And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, [saying], Come, curse me Jacob, and come, <n>Cause everyone to hate and detest them.</n> defy Israel.


text:
How shal I curse, where God hath not cursed? or howe shall I detest, where the Lorde hath not detested?


text:
For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the <n>But shall have religion and laws apart.</n> nations.


text:
Who can count the <n>The infinite multitude, as the dust of the earth.</n> dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth [part] of Israel? Let me <n>The fear of God's judgment caused him to wish to be joined to the household of Abraham: thus the wicked have their consciences wounded when they consider God's judgments.</n> die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!


text:
Then Balak saide vnto Balaam, What hast thou done vnto mee? I tooke thee to curse mine enemies, and beholde, thou hast blessed them altogether.


text:
And he answered, and said, Must I not take heede to speake that, which the Lord hath put in my mouth?


text:
And Balak sayde vnto him, Come, I pray thee, with mee vnto another place, whence thou mayest see them, &amp; thou shalt see but the vtmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: therefore curse them out of that place for my sake.


text:
And he brought him into Sede-sophim to the top of Pisgah, and built seuen altars, and offred a bullocke, and a ramme on euery altar.


text:
And the Lord mette Balaam, and put an answere in his mouth, and sayd, Goe againe vnto Balak, and say thus.


text:
And when he came to him, beholde, hee stoode by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him: so Balak sayde vnto him, What hath the Lord sayd?


text:
And he vttered his parable, and sayde, Rise vp, Balak, and heare: hearken vnto me, thou sonne of Zippor.


text:
<n>God's enemies are compelled to confess that his government is just, constant, and without change or repentance.</n>God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?


text:
He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God [is] with him, and the <n>They triumph as victorious kings over their enemies.</n> shout of a king [is] among them.


text:
Surely [there is] no enchantment against Jacob, neither [is there] any divination against Israel: <n>Considering what God will work this time for the deliverance of his people, all the world will wonder.</n> according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!


text:
Behold, the people shal rise vp as a lyon, &amp; lift vp himselfe as a yong lyon: hee shall not lye downe, till he eate of the pray, and till he drinke the blood of the slayne.


text:
But Balaam answered, &amp; saide vnto Balak, Tolde not I thee, saying, All that the Lorde speaketh, that must I do?


text:
And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another <n>Thus the wicked imagine of God that what he will not grant in one place, he will do in another.</n> place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.


text:
Then Balaam sayde vnto Balak, Make me here seuen altars, and prepare me here seuen bullocks, and seuen rammes.


text:
And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the <n>Where the Israelites camped.</n> wilderness.


text:
And Balaam lift vp his eyes, &amp; looked vpon Israel, which dwelt according to their tribes, and the Spirit of God came vpon him.


text:
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes <n>His eyes were shut up before in respect to the clear visions which he saw after.</n> are open hath said:


text:
He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, <n>Though he lay as in a sleep, yet the eyes of his mind were open.</n> falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:


text:
As the valleis, are they stretched forth, as gardes by the riuers side, as the aloe trees, which the Lorde hath planted, as the cedars beside the waters.


text:
He shall pour the <n>His prosperity and posterity will be very great.</n> water out of his buckets, and his seed [shall be] in many waters, and his king shall be higher than <n>Which name was common to the kings of Amalek.</n> Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.


text:
God brought him out of Egypt: his strength shalbe as an vnicorne: he shal eate the nations his enemies, and bruise their bones, &amp; shoote them through with his arrowes.


text:
He coucheth and lieth downe as a yong lion, and as a lion: who shall stirre him vp? blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.


text:
And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he <n>In token of anger.</n> smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed [them] these three times.


text:
Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the <n>Thus the wicked burden God when they cannot carry out their wicked enterprises.</n> LORD hath kept thee back from honour.


text:
If Balak would giue me his house ful of siluer and gold, I can not passe the commandement of the Lorde, to doe either good or bad of mine owne minde? what the Lord shall commaunde, the same will I speake.


text:
And now, behold, I go unto my people: come [therefore, and] I will <n>He gave also wicked counsel to cause the Israelites to sin, that God might forsake them, (Num_31:16).</n> advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.


text:
And he vttered his parable, and sayd, Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde, and the man whose eyes were shut vp, hath sayd,


text:
He hath said that heard the words of God, and hath the knowledge of the most High, and sawe the vision of the Almightie, and falling in a traunce had his eyes opened:


text:
I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a <n>Meaning Christ.</n> Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the <n>That is, the princes.</n> corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of <n>He shall subdue all that resist: for of Sheth came Noah, and of Noah all the world.</n> Sheth.


text:
And Edom shalbe possessed, and Seir shall be a possession to their enemies: but Israel shal do valiantly.


text:
Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the <n>Of the Edomites.</n> city.


text:
And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek [was] the <n>The Amalekites first made war against Israel, (Num_14:45).</n> first of the nations; but his latter end [shall be] that he perish for ever.


text:
And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou <n>Make yourself as strong as you can.</n> puttest thy nest in a rock.


text:
And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, <n>Some read, Oh who shall not perish when the enemy (that is, Antichrist) shall set himself up as God?</n> who shall live when God doeth this!


text:
And ships [shall come] from the coast of <n>The Grecians and Romans.</n> Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and <n>Meaning, Eber, or the Jews for rebelling against God.</n> he also shall perish for ever.


text:
And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the <n>With the women.</n> daughters of Moab.


text:
Which called the people vnto the sacrifice of their gods, and the people ate, &amp; bowed downe to their gods.


text:
And Israel <n>Worshipped the idol of the Moabites, which was in the hill Peor.</n> joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.


text:
And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD <n>Openly in the sight of all.</n> against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.


text:
And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his <n>Let him execute those that are under his charge.</n> men that were joined unto Baalpeor.


text:
And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, <n>Repenting that they had offended God.</n> who [were] weeping [before] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.


text:
And when Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the Priest sawe it, hee rose vp from the middes of the Congregation, &amp; tooke a speare in his hand,


text:
And followed ye man of Israel into the tent, and thrust them both through: to wit, the man of Israel, and the woman, through her belly: so the plague ceased from the children of Israel.


text:
Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he <n>He was zealous to maintain my glory.</n> was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.


text:
And he shall have it, and his seed after him, [even] the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an <n>He has pacified God's wrath.</n> atonement for the children of Israel.


text:
And the name of the Israelite thus slayne, which was killed with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri the sonne of Salu, prince of the familie of the Simeonites.


text:
And the name of the Midianitish woman, that was slayne, was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, who was head ouer the people of his fathers house in Midian.


text:
For they vex you with their <n>Causing you to commit both corporal and spiritual fornication by Balaam's counsel, (Num_31:16; Rev_2:14).</n> wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.


text:
And it came to pass after the <n>Which came because of their whoredom and idolatry.</n> plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,


text:
Take the nomber of all the Congregation of the children of Israel from twentie yeere olde and aboue throughout their fathers houses, all that go forth to warre in Israel.


text:
And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan <n>Where the river is near to Jericho.</n> [near] Jericho, saying,

text:
Wherefore should the name of our father be taken away from among his familie, because he hath no sonne? giue vs a possession among the brethren of our father.


text:
And Moses brought their <n>That is, their matter to be judged, to know what he should determine, as he did all hard matters.</n> cause before the LORD.


text:
The daughters of Zelophehad speake right: thou shalt giue them a possession to inherite among their fathers brethren, and shalt turne the inheritance of their father vnto them.


text:
Also thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die and haue no sonne, then ye shall turne his inheritaunce vnto his daughter.


text:
And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of <n>Meaning, an ordinance to judge by.</n> judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.

And set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation, and giue him a charge in their sight.


text:
And thou shalt <n>Commend him to the people as suitable for the office and appointed by God.</n> put [some] of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.


text:
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask [counsel] for him after the <n>According to his office: signifying that the civil magistrate could execute nothing but that which he knew to be the will of God.</n> judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, [both] he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.

So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him, and he tooke Ioshua, and set him before Eleazar the Priest, &amp; before all the Congregation.

Then the captaines which were ouer thousandes of the hoste, the captaines ouer the thousandes, and the captaines ouer the hundreds came vnto Moses:


text:
And saide to Moses, Thy seruants haue taken the summe of the men of warre which are vnder our authoritie, and there lacketh not one man of vs.


text:
<n>The captains by the free offering acknowledge the great benefit of God in preserving his people.</n>We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.

And all the golde of the offring that they offered vp to the Lorde (of the captaines ouer thousands and hundreds) was sixteene thousande seuen hundreth and fiftie shekels,

Wherefore, said they, if we haue foud grace in thy sight, let this lande be giuen vnto thy seruants for a possession, &amp; bring vs not ouer Iorde.

And Moses said vnto the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren goe to warre, and ye tary heere?

Wherefore now discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel, to goe ouer into the lande, which the Lorde hath giuen them?

text:
And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done <n>Because they complained and would not believe their report, which told the truth concerning the land.</n> evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

But if they will not goe ouer with you armed, then they shall haue their possessions amog you in the land of Canaan.

And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of <n>Which in the Gospel is called the lake of Gennesaret.</n> Chinnereth eastward:


text:
Also that border shall goe downe to Iorden, &amp; leaue at the salt Sea. this shalbe your land with the coastes thereof round about.


text:
Then Moses commaunded the children of Israel, saying, This is the lande which yee shall inherite by lot, which the Lord commaunded to giue vnto nine tribes and halfe the tribe.


text:
For the tribe of the children of Reuben, according to the housholdes of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad, according to their fathers housholdes, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh, haue receiued their inheritance.


text:
Two tribes and an halfe tribe haue receiued their inheritance on this side of Iorden toward Iericho full East.


text:
These are the names of the men which shall deuide ye land vnto you: Eleazar the Priest, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun.


text:
And ye shall take one <n>One of the heads or chief men of every tribe.</n> prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.


text:
Of the sonnes of Ioseph: of the tribe of the sonnes of Manasseh, the prince Hanniel the sonne of Ephod.


text:
These [are they] whom the LORD commanded to <n>And be judges over every piece of ground that should fall to any by lot, to the intent that all things might be done orderly and without contention.</n> divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.


text:
Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the <n>Because they had no inheritance assigned them in the land of Canaan.</n> Levites of the inheritance of their possession <n>God would have them scattered through all the land, because the people might be preserved by them in the obedience of God and his Law.</n> cities to dwell in; and ye shall give [also] unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.


text:
So they shall haue the cities to dwell in, &amp; their suburbes shall be for their cattell, and for their substance, and for all their beasts.


text:
And the suburbes of the cities, which ye shal giue vnto the Leuites, from the wall of the citie outward, shalbe a thousand cubites round about.


text:
And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side <n>So that in all were three thousand, and in the compass of these two thousand, they might plant and sow.</n> two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city [shall be] in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.


text:
And of the cities which yee shall giue vnto the Leuites, there shalbe sixe cities for refuge, which ye shal appoint, that he which killeth, may flee thither: and to them yee shall adde two and fourtie cities mo.


text:
All the cities which yee shall giue to the Leuites, shalbe eight and fourtie cities: them shal ye giue with their suburbes.


text:
And concerning the cities which yee shall giue, of the possession of the children of Israel: of many ye shall take mo, and of few ye shall take lesse: euery one shall giue of his cities vnto the Leuites, according to his inheritance, which hee inheriteth.


text:
Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye be come ouer Iorden into the land of Canaan,


text:
Ye shall appoint you cities, to bee cities of refuge for you, that the slayer, which slayeth any person vnwares, may flee thither.


text:
And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the <n>Meaning, from the next of the kindred, who ought to pursue the cause.</n> avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.


text:
Ye shall give three cities <n>Among the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, (Deu_4:41).</n> on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, [which] shall be cities of refuge.


text:
These six cities shalbe a refuge for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for him that dwelleth among you, that euery one which killeth any person vnwares, may flee thither.


text:
And if he <n>Wittingly, and willingly.</n> smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.


text:
And if he smite him with throwing a <n>That is, with a big and dangerous stone: in Hebrew, with a stone of his hand.</n> stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.


text:
Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may be slaine, if he die, he is a murtherer, and the murtherer shall die the death.


text:
The reuenger of the blood himselfe shall slay the murtherer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.


text:
Or smite him through enimitie with his hand, that he die, he that smote him shal die ye death: for hee is a murtherer: the reuenger of the blood shall slay the murtherer when he meeteth him.


text:
But if he pusshed him vnaduisedly, and not of hatred, or cast vpon him any thing, without laying of waite,


text:
Or any stone (whereby he might be slaine) and sawe him not, or caused it to fall vpon him, and he die, and was not his enemie, neither sought him any harme,


text:
Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the <n>That is, his next kinsman.</n> revenger of blood according to these judgments:


text:
And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the <n>Under this figure is declared, that our sins could not be remitted, but by the death of the high Priest Jesus Christ.</n> high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.


text:
And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the <n>By the sentence of the judge.</n> slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:


text:
Because he should haue remained in the citie of his refuge, vntill the death of the hie Priest: and after the death of the hie Priest, the slayer shal returne vnto the land of his possession.


text:
So these [things] shall be for a <n>A law to judge murders done either on purpose, or accidentally.</n> statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.


text:
Whosoeuer killeth any person, the Iudge shall slay the murtherer, through witnesses: but one witnesse shall not testifie against a person to cause him to die.


text:
Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which [is] <n>Who purposely committed murder.</n> guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.


text:
Also ye shall take no recompense for him that is fled to the citie of his refuge, that he should come againe, and dwell in the lande, before the death of the hie Priest.


text:
So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye [are]: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be <n>So God is mindful of the blood wrongfully shed, that he makes his dumb creatures demand vengeance of it.</n> cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.


text:
Defile not therefore the lande which yee shall inhabite, For I dwell in the middes thereof: for I the Lord dwel among the children of Israel.


text:
And the <n>It seems that the tribes contended who might marry these daughters to have their inheritance: and therefore the sons of Joseph proposed the matter to Moses.</n> chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:


text:
And they said, The LORD commanded <n>Meaning Moses.</n> my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.


text:
If they bee married to any of the sonnes of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and shalbe put vnto the inheritance of the tribe whereof they shalbe: so shall it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.


text:
And when the <n>Signifying that at no time could it return, for in the Jubile all things returned to their own tribes.</n> jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.


text:
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said <n>For the tribe could not have continued, if the inheritance which was the maintenance of it should have been alienated to others.</n> well.


text:
This is the thing that the Lorde hath commaunded, concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, They shall be wiues, to whome they thinke best, onely to the familie of the tribe of their father shall they marry:


text:
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remoue from tribe to tribe, for euery one of the children of Israel shal ioyne himselfe to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.


text:
And every daughter, that possesseth an <n>When there is no male to inherit.</n> inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.


text:
Neither shal the inheritance go about from tribe to tribe: but euery one of the tribes of the childre of Israel shal sticke to his own inheritace.


text:
For Mahlah, Tirzah, &amp; Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah the daughters of Zelophehad were married vnto their fathers brothers sonnes,


text:
They were wiues to certaine of the families of the sonnes of Manasseh the sonne of Ioseph: so their inheritance remained in the tribe of the familie of their father.


text:
These [are] the <n>Concerning the ceremonial and judicial laws.</n> commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.


text:
These [be] the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on <n>In the country of Moab.</n> this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain <n>So that the wilderness was between the sea and the plain of Moab.</n> over against the Red [sea], between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. <n>The Argument - The wonderful love of God toward his Church is actively set forth in this book. Even through their ingratitude and many rebellions against God, for the space forty years. (Deu_9:7) they deserved to have been cut off from the number of his people, and forever to have been deprived of the use of his holy word and ordinances: yet he ever preserved his Church even for his own mercy's sake, and would still have his name called upon among them. Wherefore he brings them into the land of Canaan, destroys their enemies, gives them their country, towns and goods, and exhorts them by the example of their fathers (whose infidelity, idolatry, adulteries, complaining and rebellions, he had most severely punished) to fear and obey the Lord, to embrace and keep his law without adding to it or diminishing from it. For by his word he would be known to be their God, and they his people, by his word he would govern his Church, and by the same they would learn to obey him: by his word he would discern the false prophet from the true, light form darkness, ignorance from knowledge, and his own people from all the other nations and infidels: teaching them by it to refuse and detest, destroy and abolish whatever is not agreeable to his holy will, seem it otherwise never so good or precious in the eyes of man. For this cause God promised to raise up kings and governors, for the setting forth of his word and preservation of his Church: giving to them a special charge for the executing of it: whom therefore he wills to exercise themselves diligently in the continual study and meditation of the same: that they might learn to fear the Lord, love their subjects, abhor covetousness and vices, and whatever offends the majesty of God. As he had before instructed their fathers in all things belonging both to his spiritual service and also for the maintenance of that society which is between men: so he prescribes here anew all such laws and ordinances, which either concern his divine service, or else are necessary for a common good: appointing to every estate and degree their charge and duty: as well, how to rule and live in the fear of God, as to nourish friendship toward their neighbours, and to preserve the order which God has established among men: threatening most horrible plagues to them that transgress his commandments, and promising blessings and happiness to those who observe and obey them.</n>

([There are] eleven days' [journey] from <n>In Horeb, or Sinai, forty years before the law was given: but because all that were then of age and judgment were now dead, Moses repeats the same to the youth who either then were not born, or had not judgment.</n> Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)


text:
And it came to passe in the first day of the eleuenth moneth, in the fourtieth yeere that Moses spake vnto the children of Israel according vnto all that the Lord had giuen him in commandement vnto them,


text:
After he had slain <n>By these examples of God's favour, their minds are prepared to receive the law.</n> Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:


text:
On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, <n>The second time.</n> began Moses to declare this law, saying,


text:
The LORD our God spake unto us in <n>In the second year and second month, (Num_10:11).</n> Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:


text:
Turne you and depart, and goe vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, and vnto all places neere thereunto in the plaine, in the mountaine, or in the valley: both Southwarde, and to the Sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and vnto Lebanon: euen vnto the great riuer, the riuer Perath.


text:
Beholde, I haue set the land before you: go in and possesse that land which the Lorde sware vnto your fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue vnto them and to their seede after them.


text:
And I spake <n>By the counsel of Jethro my father-in-law, (Exo_18:19).</n> unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:


text:
The LORD your God hath <n>Not so much by the course of nature, as miraculously.</n> multiplied you, and, behold, ye [are] this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.


text:
(The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many moe as ye are, and blesse you, as he hath promised you)


text:
How can I myself alone <n>Signifying how great a burden it is, to govern the people.</n> bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?


text:
Take you wise men, and understanding, and <n>Whose godliness and uprightness is known.</n> known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.


text:
So I took the chief of your tribes, <n>Declaring what sort of men ought to have a public charge, read (Exo_18:21).</n> wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.


text:
And I charged your iudges that same time, saying, Heare the controuersies betweene your brethren, and iudge righteously betwene euery man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.


text:
Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; [but] ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment [is] <n>You are his Lieutenants.</n> God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring [it] unto me, and I will hear it.


text:
Then we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wildernesse (as yee haue seene) by the way of the mountaine of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commaunded vs: and we came to Kadesh-barnea.


text:
And <n>So that the fault was in themselves, that they did not sooner possess the inheritance promised.</n> I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.


text:
Beholde, the Lord thy God hath layde the land before thee: go vp and possesse it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath saide vnto thee: feare not, neither be discouraged.


text:
<n>Read (Num_13:3).</n>And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.


text:
Who departed, and went vp into the mountaine, and came vnto the riuer Eshcol, and searched out the land.


text:
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought [it] down unto us, and brought us word again, and <n>That is, Caleb, and Joshua; Moses prefers the better part to the greater, that is, two to ten.</n> said, [It is] a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.


text:
Notwithstanding, ye would not go vp, but were disobedient vnto the commaundement of the Lord your God,


text:
And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD <n>Such was the Jews unthankfulness, that they counted God's special love, hatred.</n> hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.


text:
Whither shall we go up? our <n>The other ten, not Caleb and Joshua.</n> brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people [is] greater and taller than we; the cities [are] great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.


text:
The LORD your God <n>Declaring that to renounce our own force, and constantly to follow our calling, and depend on the Lord, is true boldness, and agreeable to God.</n> which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;


text:
And in the wildernesse, where thou hast seene how the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doeth beare his sonne, in all the way which ye haue gone, vntill ye came vnto this place.


text:
Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tentes in, in fire by night, that ye might see what way to goe, and in a cloude by day.


text:
Surely there shall not one of these men of this froward generation, see that good land, which I sware to giue vnto your fathers,


text:
Saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh: he shall see it, and to him will I giue the land that he hath troden vpon, and to his children, because he hath constantly followed the Lord.


text:
[But] Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth <n>Who minister to you.</n> before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.


text:
Moreover your <n>Who were under twenty years of age, (Num_14:31).</n> little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.


text:
Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, <n>This declares man's nature, who will do that which God forbids, and will not do that which he commands.</n> we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.


text:
And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I [am] <n>Signifying that man has no strength, but when God is at hand to help him.</n> not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.


text:
And when I told you, ye would not heare, but rebelled against the commaundement of the Lord, and were presumptuous, and went vp into the mountaine.


text:
Then the Amorites which dwelt in that mountaine came out against you, and chased you (as bees vse to doe) and destroied you in Seir, euen vnto Hormah.


text:
And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not <n>Because you rather showed your hypocrisy, than true repentance; rather lamenting the loss of your brethren, than repenting for your sins.</n> hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.


text:
Then <n>They obeyed, after God had chastised them.</n> we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir <n>Eight and thirty years, as in (Deu_2:14).</n> many days.


text:
And command thou the people, saying, Ye [are] to pass through the <n>This was the second time, before they had caused the Israelites to return, (Num_20:21).</n> coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:


text:
Ye shall not prouoke them: for I wil not giue you of their land so much as a foot breadth, because I haue giuen mount Seir vnto Esau for a possession.


text:
Ye shall buy meate of them for money to eate, and ye shall also procure water of them for money to drinke.


text:
For the LORD thy God hath <n>And given you means, with which you may make recompence: also God will direct you by his providence, as he has done.</n> blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God [hath been] with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.


text:
And when we were departed from our brethren the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plaine, from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and went by the way of the wildernes of Moab.


text:
And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land [for] a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children <n>Which were the Moabites and Ammonites.</n> of Lot [for] a possession.


text:
The <n>Signifying that as these giants were driven out for their sins: so the wicked when their sins are ripe, cannot avoid God's plagues.</n> Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;


text:
The Horims also dwelt in Seir before time, whome the children of Esau chased out and destroyed them before them, and dwelt in their steade: as Israel shall doe vnto the land of his possession, which the Lord hath giuen them.


text:
And the <n>He shows by this, that as God is true in his promise, so his threatenings are not in vain.</n> space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, [was] thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them.


text:
For indeed the <n>His plague and punishment to destroy all that were twenty years old and above.</n> hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.


text:
And thou shalt come neere ouer against the children of Ammon: but shalt not lay siege vnto them, nor moue warre against them: for I will not giue thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession: for I haue giuen it vnto the children of Lot for a possession.


text:
(That also was accounted a land <n>Who called themselves Rephaims: that is, preservers, or physicians to heal and reform vices: but were indeed Zamzummims, that is, wicked and abominable.</n> of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;


text:
A people that was great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims: but the Lord destroyed them before them, and they succeeded them in their inheritance, and dwelt in their stead:


text:
As he did to the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims before them, and they possessed them, and dwelt in their stead vnto this day.


text:
And the Auims which dwelt in Hazarim euen vnto Azzah, the Caphtorims which came out of Caphtor destroyed them, and dwelt in their steade.


text:
Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the <n>According to his promise made to Abraham, (Gen_15:16).</n> Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess [it], and contend with him in battle.


text:
This day will I <n>This declares that the hearts of men are in God's hands either to be made faint, or bold.</n> begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations [that are] under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.


text:
Then I sent messengers out of the wildernes of Kedemoth vnto Sihon King of Heshbon, with wordes of peace, saying,


text:
Let me passe through thy land: I will go by the hie way: I will neither turne vnto the right hand nor to the left.


text:
Thou shalt sell me meate for money, for to eate, and shalt giue me water for money for to drinke: onely I will go through on my foote,


text:
(As the <n>Because neither intreaty nor examples or others could move him, he could not complain of his just destruction.</n> children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.


text:
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God <n>God in his election and reprobation not only appoints the ends, but the means tending to the same.</n> hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as [appeareth] this day.


text:
And the Lorde sayd vnto me, Beholde, I haue begun to giue Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possesse and inherite his land.


text:
But the Lord our God deliuered him into our power, and we smote him, and his sonnes, and all his people.


text:
And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the <n>God had cursed Canaan, and therefore he did not want any of the wicked race to be preserved.</n> women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:


text:
From Aroer, which is by the banke of the riuer of Arnon, and from the citie that is vpon the riuer, euen vnto Gilead: there was not one citie that escaped vs: for the Lorde our God deliuered vp all before vs.


text:
Onely vnto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor vnto any place of the riuer Iabbok, nor vnto the cities in the mountaines, nor vnto whatsoeuer the Lorde our God forbade vs.


text:
Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan <n>Therefore aside from the commandment of the Lord, they had just cause to fight against him.</n> came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto me, Feare him not, for I will deliuer him, and all his people, and his land into thine hand, and thou shalt doe vnto him as thou diddest vnto Sihon King of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.


text:
So the Lorde our God deliuered also vnto our hand, Og the King of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him, vntill none was left him aliue,


text:
And we tooke all his cities the same time, neither was there a citie which we tooke not from them, euen three score cities, and all ye countrey of Argob, the kingdome of Og in Bashan.


text:
All these cities [were] fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside <n>As villages and small towns.</n> unwalled towns a great many.


text:
And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, <n>Because this was God's appointment, therefore it may not be judged cruel.</n> women, and children, of every city.


text:
Thus we tooke at that time out of the hand of two Kings of the Amorites, the land that was on this side Iorden from the riuer of Arnon vnto mount Hermon:


text:
All the cities of the plaine, and all Gilead, and all Bashan vnto Salchah, and Edrei, cities of the kingdome of Og in Bashan.


text:
For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his <n>The more terrible this giant was, the greater reason they had to glorify God for the victory.</n> bedstead [was] a bedstead of iron; [is] it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits [was] the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.


text:
And this land which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the riuer of Arnon, and halfe mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gaue I vnto the Reubenites and Gadites.


text:
And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdome of Og, gaue I vnto the halfe tribe of Manasseh: euen all the countrey of Argob with all Bashan, which is called, The land of gyants.


text:
Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashanhavothjair, unto <n>Meaning, when he wrote this history.</n> this day.


text:
And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river <n>Which separates the Ammonites from the Amorites.</n> Jabbok, [which is] the border of the children of Ammon;


text:
The plaine also and Iorden, and the borders from Chinnereth euen vnto the Sea of the plaine, to wit, the salt Sea vnder the springs of Pisgah Eastwarde.


text:
And I commanded <n>That is, the Reubenites, Gadites, and half Manasseh, as in (Num_32:32).</n> you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all [that are] meet for the war.


text:
Your wiues onely, and your children, and your cattel (for I know that ye haue much cattel) shall abide in your cities, which I haue giuen you,


text:
Vntill the Lorde haue giuen rest vnto your brethren as vnto you, and that they also possesse the lande, which the Lorde your God hath giuen them beyond Iorden: then shall ye returne euery man vnto his possession, which I haue giuen you.


text:
