Come on, let vs go downe, and confounde theyr language, that euery one perceaue not hys neyghbours speche.


text:
And so the Lorde scatred them from that place into the vpper face of all the erth. And they left of to buylde the cytie.


text:
And therfore is the name of it called Babel, because the Lorde dyd there confounde the language of all the erth. And from thence dyd the Lorde scater them abrode vpon the face of all the erth.


text:
These are the generacyons of Sem: Sem was an hundreth yeare olde, and begat Arphachsad two yeare after the floude.


text:
And Arphachsad lyued (after he begat Selah) foure hundreth & thre yeares, and begat sonnes & daughters.


text:
And Selah lyued (after he begat Eber) foure hundreth and thre yeares, and begat sonnes and daughters.


text:
And Eber lyued (after he begat Peleg) foure hundreth and thyrtye yeares, & begat sonnes and daughters.


text:
And Nahor lyued (after he begat Terah) an hundreth and nynetene yeares, and begat sonnes and daughters.


text:
And Haran dyed in the presence of Terah hys father, in the londe of hys natyuitye, euen in Ur of the Caldees.


text:
Abram and Nahor toke them wyues: The name of Abrams wyfe was Sarai, & the name of Nahors wyfe was Milca, the daughter of Haran the father of Milca & the father of Iisca.


text:
And Terah toke Abram his sonne, and Lot the sonne of Haran, hys sonnes sonne, & Sara hys daughter in lawe, hys sonne Abrams wyfe. And they departed together from Ur of the Caldees, that they myght go into the londe of Chanaan, & they came vnto Charan, & dwelt there.


text:
And the Lorde sayd vnto Abram: Get the out of thy countrey, & out of thy nacyon, and from thy fathers house, vnto a londe that I wyll shewe the.


text:
And I wyll make of the a greate people, and wyll blesse the, & make thy name greate, that thou mayest be euen a blessynge.


text:
I wyll also blesse them that blesse the, & cursse suche as curseth the, & in the shall all the kynreds of the erth be blessed.


text:
And so Abram departed euen as the Lorde spake vnto him, & Lot wente wyth hym. And Abram was seuentye & fyue yeares olde, whan he departed out of Haram.


text:
And Abram toke Sarai his wife & Lot his brothers sonne, & all theyr substaunce that they had in possessyon, & the soules that they had begotten in Haran. And they departed, that they myght come in to the londe of Chanaan,


text:
and in to the londe of Chanaan they came. Abram passed thorowe the londe vnto the place of Sichem, & vnto the playne of Moreh: And the Cananite was then in the londe.


text:
And the Lorde apearynge vnto Abram: sayd: Unto thy sede wyll I geue this londe. And there buylded he an altare vnto the lorde, euen where he had appeared vnto hym.


text:
And remouynge thence vnto a mountayne that was eastwarde from bethel, he pitched his tent, hauynge Bethel on the west syde, & Hai on the east. And he buyldynge an altare vnto the Lorde, dyd call on the name of the Lorde.


text:
But there was a derth in that londe, and therfore wente Abram downe in to Egypte, that he myght soiourne there, for there was a sore derth in the londe.


text:
And it happened whan he was come nere to entre in to Egypte, he sayde vnto Sarai hys wyfe: Beholde, I knowe, that thou art a fayre woman to loke vpon.


text:
Therfore shall it come to passe that whan the Egypcyans se the, they shall saye: She is hys wyfe. And they shall kyll me, but they shall saue the alyue.


text:
Saye (I praye the) that thou art my syster, that I maye fare well for thy sake, and that my soule maye lyue thorowe thy occasyon.


text:
And so it happened, whan Abram was come in to Egypte, the Egyptians behelde the woman, for she was very fayre.


text:
The prynces also of Pharao sawe her, and commended her before Pharao, and the woman was taken into Pharaos house.


text:
And he truly intreated Abram well for her sake, and he had shepe & oxen and he asses, men seruauntes and mayde seruauntes, she asses & camels.


text:
And Pharao callinge Abram, sayde Why hast thou done thys vnto me? Why dyddest thou not tell me, that she was thy wyfe?


text:
And Pharao gaue the men commaundement concernynge him and they conuayed him furth, and his wyfe, and all that he had.


text:
And so Abram gat him vp out of Egypte, he & his wyfe, & all that he had, & Lot wyth hym, towarde the south.


text:
And he wente furth on hys iourney from the south towarde Bethel, vnto the place where hys tent had bene at the begynnynge, betwene Bethel & Hai:


text:
Euen vnto the place of the altare which he had made there at the fyrst, and there Abram called on the name of the Lorde.


text:
& the lande was not able to receaue them that they myght dwell together, for the substaunce of their ryches was greate, & they coulde not dwell to gether.


text:
And there fell a stryfe betwene the herdmen of Abrams catell, & the herdmen of Lots catell. Moreouer the Cananytes and the Pheresytes dwelled at that tyme in the lande.


text:
Then sayde Abram vnto Lot: Let there be no stryfe (I praye the) betwene the and me & betwene my herdmen and thyne, for we be brethren.


text:
Is not all the hole lande before the? Departe I praye the fro me. If thou wilt take the lefte hande, I will go to the ryght: or yf thou departe to the ryght hande I will go to the left.


text:
And so Lot lyftynge vp hys eyes, beholde all the contre of Iordane, which was a plenteous contre of water euery where, before the Lord destroyed Sodome & Gomorra, euen as the garden of the Lorde, lyke the lande of Egypte as thou commest vnto Zoar.


text:
Than Lot chose all the playne countrey of Iordane & toke hys iourney from the east. And so departed the one brother from the other.


text:
Abram dwelled in the lande of Canaan: and Lot abode in the cyties of the playne, & tented vntyll Sodome.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Abram, after that Lot was departed from him. Lyfte vp thyne eyes nowe, & loke from the place where thou art, northwarde, southwarde, estwarde & westwarde,


text:
And I wyll make thy seed, as the dust of the erth: so that yf a man can nombre the dust of the erth, than shall thy seed also be nombred.


text:
Aryse and walke about in the lande, after the length of it & after the bredth therof, for I wyll geue it vnto the.


text:
And Abram takynge downe hys tente, came and dwelled in the okegroue of Mamre, namely in Ebron, and buylded there an alter vnto the Lorde.


text:
And it chaunsed in the dayes of Amraphael kynge of Synhar, Arioch kinge of Ellasar, kedorlaomor kynge of Elam, & Thydeall kynge of the nacions,


text:
and they made warre wyth Bera kynge of Sodome, & wyth Birsa kynge of Gomorra, and with Sineab kynge of Adama, and with Semeabar kynge of Zeboim, and with the kynge of Bela. The same is Zoar.


text:
But in the .xiiij. yere came kedorlaomor and the kynges that were wyth hym, and smote the Gyauntes in Astaroth karnaim and the Susyms in Ham, & the Emyms in the playne of kariathim,


text:
And they returnynge, came to En Mispat which is Cades, & smote all the countre of the Amalechytes, and also the Amorites that dwelt in Hazezon Thamar.


text:
And there went out the kynge of Sodome, & the kynge of Gomorra, and the kynge of Adama and the kynge of Zeboijm, and the kynge of Bela which is Zoar. And they stroke battell with them in the vale of Syddym, that is to saye,


text:
with kedorlaomor the kynge of Elam and wyth Thydeal kynge of the Nacyons, and wyth Amraphael kynge of Synhar. And with Arioch kynge of Ellasar: foure kynges agaynste fyue.


text:
And the vale of Syddym was full of slyme pyttes. And the kynge of Sodome and Gomorra fled, and fell there. And they that remayned, fled to the mountayne.


text:
And they caryed awaye Lot also Abrams brothers sonne and hys good (for he dwelled at Sodome) & departed.


text:
And there came one that had escaped, and tolde Abram the Hebrewe whiche dwelled in the okegroue of Mamre the Amoryte, brother of Eschol, and brother of Aner, which were confederate wt Abram.


text:
When Abram hearde that hys brother was taken, he harnessed hys freshe younge men borne in hys owne house thre hundred and eyghtene, and folowed on them vntyll Dan:


text:
And he was sett in Aray vpon them by nyght, he and his seruauntes, and smote them and pursued them vnto Hoba: which lyeth on the lefte hande of Damascos,


text:
and recouered all the goodes, and also brought agayne hys brother Lot, and his goodes, the women also and the people.


text:
After that he returned agayne from the slaughter of kedorlaomor & of the kynges that were with him, came the kynge of Sodome forth to mete him in the playne valeye, which is kynges dale.


text:
And Melchisedech kynge of Salem brought forth bread & wyne. For he was the Preste of the most hyghest God


text:
And blessed be the hye God which hath delyuered thyne enemyes in to thy hande. And Abram gaue him tythes of all.


text:
And Abram answered the kynge of Sodome: I haue lyfte vp my hande vnto the Lorde the hye God possessor of heauen and erth,


text:
that I wyll not take of all that is thyne so moche as a thred or shoulachet, lest thou shuldest saye, I haue made Abram ryche.


text:
Saue only that whyche the yonge men haue eaten and the partes of the men which went with me, Aner, Eschol, and Mamre which shall take their partes.


text:
After these thynges were done, the worde of the Lorde came vnto Abram in a vysyon sayinge, Feare not Abram, I am thy defence, and thy rewarde shall be exceadynge great.


text:
And Abram sayde: Lorde God what wilt thou geue me whan I go chyldlesse, and the chylde of the stewardship of my house is thys Eleazar of Damasco?


text:
And beholde, the worde of the Lorde came vnto hym sayinge: He shall not be thyne heyre, but one that shall come out of thyne awne body shalbe thyne heyre.


text:
And he brought him out & sayde: loke vp vnto heauen, and tell the starres, yf thou be able to nombre them. And he sayde vnto him Euen so shall thy seed be.


text:
And agayne he sayde vnto hym: I am the Lorde that brought the out of Ur of the Caldees to geue the thys lande, and that thou myghtest possesse it.


text:
He answered vnto hym: Take an heyffer of thre yere olde, and a she goate of thre yere olde, and a thre yere olde ram, a turtyll doue also and a yonge pigeon.


text:
He toke therfore all these vnto him, & deuyded them in the myddes, and layde euery pece, one agaynst another. But the foules deuyded he not.


text:
And when the sunne was downe, ther fell a slomber vpon Abram. And loo, a darke and great feare fell vpon hym.


text:
And he sayde vnto Abram: knowe thys of a suertye, that thy seed shalbe a straunger in a lande that perteyneth not vnto them. And shall serue them, & they shall entreate them euell .iiij. hundred yeares.


text:
But the nacyon whom they shall serue, wyll I iudge. And afterwarde shall they come out with great substaunce.


text:
But in the fourth generacyon they shall come hyther againe, for the wickednesse of the Amorites ys not yet full.


text:
And it came to passe that whan the sonne went downe, there was a dark cloude: beholde, ther was a smoking furnesse, & a fyre brande goinge betwene the sayde peces.


text:
In that same daye the Lorde made a couenaunte wt Abram sayinge: vnto thy seed haue I geuen thys lande, from the ryuer of Egypt, euen vnto the great ryuer the ryuer of Euphrates,


text:
And Sarai sayde vnto Abram Beholde the Lorde hath restrayned me, that I can not bere. I praye the go in vnto my mayde, perauenture I maye be edifyed by her. And Abram obeyed the voyce of Sarai


text:
And Sarai Abrams wyfe toke Hagar hyr mayde the Egyptian (after Abram had dwelled .x. yere in the lande of Canaan) and gaue her to hyr husbande Abram to be hys wyfe.


text:
Which whan he wente in vnto Agar, she conceaued. And when she sawe that she had conceyued, hyr mastresse was despysed in hyr eyes.


text:
And Sarai sayde vnto Abram: Thou dost me wronge: I haue geuen my mayde into thy bosome. Whych seynge that she hath conceaued, I am despysed in hyr eyes, the Lorde iudge betwene the and me.


text:
But Abram sayde to Sarai: beholde, thy mayde is in thy hande, do with hyr as it pleaseth the. And whan Sarai fared foule wyth her, she fled from the face of her.


text:
And the Angell of the Lorde founde her besyde a fountayne of water in the wyldernes: euen by the well that is in the waye to Sur.


text:
And he sayde: Hagar Sarais mayde, whence camest thou and whether wilt thou goo? She sayde: I flee from the face of my mastresse Sarai.


text:
And the angell of the Lorde sayde vnto her: returne to thy mastresse againe, & submytte thy selfe vnder her handes.


text:
And agayne, the angell of the Lorde sayde vnto her: In encreasinge I wyll encrease thy seed and it shall not be nombred for multitude.


text:
And the Lordes angell sayde vnto her, se, thou art with chylde and shalt bere a sonne, and shalt call hys name Ismael: because the Lorde hath herde thy tribulacyon.


text:
He also will be a wylde man, and hys hande will be agaynst euery man, and euery mans hande agaynst him. And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.


text:
And she called the name of the Lorde that spake vnto her: thou God lokest on me, for she sayde: haue I not sene here the backe partes of hym that seeth me?


text:
Wherfore the well was called, the well of him that lyueth & seeth me. And it is betwene Cades and Bared.


text:
Abram was nynetye yere olde & .ix. & the Lorde apeared to Abram & sayde vnto hym: I am the almyghtie God: walke before me and be thou perfecte.


text:
Neyther shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shalbe Abraham: for a father of many nacyons haue I made the,


text:
I will make the to growe excedyngly, and will make nacions of the: ye & kynges shall sprynge out of the.


text:
Moreouer I will make my bonde betwene me and the, and thy seed after the in theyr generacyons, by an euerlastynge testament, that I maye be God vnto the and to thy seed after the.


text:
And I wyll geue vnto the and to thy seed after the, the lande where in thou art a straunger: Euen all the lande of Canaan, for an euerlastynge possessyon, and wyll be their God.


text:
And God sayde agayne vnto Abraham: Se thou also kepe my testamente therfore both thou and thy seed after the in their generacyons.


text:
This is my testamente which ye shall kepe betwene me & you & thy seed after the. Euery manchylde amonge you shalbe circumcysed.


text:
ye shall circumcyse the fleshe of your foreskyne, and it shall be a token of the bonde betwyxte me and you.


text:
And euery manchylde of .viij. dayes olde shall be circumcysed amonge you, & suche as be in youre generacyons, and borne at home and he that is boughte wyth money of any straunger whych is not of thy seed. He that is borne in thy house, & he also that is bought wyth money, must nedes be circumcysed.


text:
And the vncircumcysed manchylde, in whose fleshe the forskynne is not circumcysed, that soule shall peryshe, from his people: because he hath broken my testament.


text:
And I will blesse her & haue geuen the a sonne of her, & wyll blesse her: people also, ye and kynges of people shall sprynge of her.


text:
But Abraham fell vpon his face and laughed, and sayde in hys harte: shall a chylde be borne vnto him that is an hundred yere olde, and shall Sara that is nynetie yere olde, bere?


text:
Unto whom God sayde: Sara thy wyfe shall bere the a sonne in dede, & thou shalt call his name Isahac. And I wyll make my bonde with him, for an euerlastynge bonde and with his seed after him.


text:
And as concernynge Ismael also, I haue herde the: for I haue blessed him, & wyll make him to encrease, & will multiplye him excedyngly. Twelue princes shal he begette, & I will make a great nacyon of him.


text:
Abraham toke Ismael his sonne and all suche as were borne in his house, and all that was bought wt money as many as were men chyldren which were amonge the men of Abrahams house, & circumcysed the flesshe of their foreskynne, euen in that selfe same daye, as God had sayde vnto him.


text:
Abraham also him selfe was nynetye yere olde & nyne, when the fleshe of his floreskynne was circumcysed.


text:
And all the men of hys house, borne in his house or bought with money (of straungers) were circumcysed with him.


text:
And the Lorde apeared vnto hym in the playne of Mamre and he sat in his tent dore in the heate of the daye.


text:
And he lifte vp his eyes and looked: & lo, thre men stode by him. And when he sawe them, he ran to mete them from the tent dore, and fell to the ground


text:
and sayde: Lorde (I beseche the) yf I haue founde fauoure in thy syght: goo not (I praye the) from thy seruaunte.


text:
And I wyll fett a morsell of breed, to comforte youre hartes withall. And than shall ye goo youre wayes, for euen therfore are ye come to youre seruaunte. And they sayde: Do euen so as thou hast sayde:


text:
And Abraham went a pase in to his tent vnto Sara, & sayde: make redy attonce thre peckes of fyne meale, kneade it, & make cakes.


text:
And Abraham rennynge vnto his beastes, fett a calfe tendre and good, & gaue it vnto a yonge man, & he hasted to make it redy attonce.


text:
And he toke butter & mylcke & the calfe whych he had prepared, & set it before them, and stode hym selfe by them vnder the tree whan they dyd eate.


text:
And he sayde in returnynge, I will come agayne vnto the, accordynge to the tyme of lyfe. And loo Sara thy wyfe shall haue a sonne. That hearde Sara, in the tent doore which was behinde him


text:
(Abraham and Sara were both olde & well stryken in age, & it ceased to be with Sara after the maner as it is wyth wemen)


text:
Therfore Sara laughed with in hyr selfe sayinge: Nowe I am waxed olde, shall I geue my selfe to lust, & my Lorde olde also?


text:
And God sayde vnto Abraham: wherfore dyd Sara laughe sayinge: shall I of a suertye bere a chylde which am olde?


text:
is any thynge wonderfull to God? Acordynge to the tyme appoynted will I returne vnto the, euen acordynge to the tyme of lyfe, & Sara shall haue a sonne.


text:
Than Sara denyed it sayinge: I laughed not, for she was afrayde. And he sayde: It is not so, but thou laughedst.


text:
And the men stondinge vp from thence, loked towarde Sodome. And Abraham went with them to brynge them on the waye.


text:
seynge that Abraham shall be a great and a myghtie people, and all the nacyons of the erth shalbe blessed in him?


text:
I knowe this also, that he will commaunde his chyldren and hys houshold after him, that they kepe the waye of the Lorde, and do after ryghte and conscyence, that the Lorde maye bringe vpon Abraham all that he hath spoken vnto him.


text:
I wyll go downe nowe and see whether they haue done all together accordynge to that crye which is come vnto me or not, that I maye knowe.


text:
parauenture there be .l. ryghtwes within the cytie, wylt thou destroye and not spare the place for the sake of .l. ryghtwes that are therin?


text:
That be farre from the, that thou shuldest do after thys sayinge, & sley the ryghtwes with the wicked, & that the ryghtwes shulde be as the wicked, that be farre from the. Shall not the iudge of all the worlde do accordynge to ryghte?


text:
And the Lorde sayde: If I fynde in Sodome .l. ryghtwes wythin the cytie, I will spare all the place for their sakes.


text:
And Abraham answerynge: sayde, Beholde, I haue taken vpon me to speake vnto the Lorde, which am but dust and asshes.


text:
perauenture there shall lacke fyue of fyftye ryghteous: wylt thou destroye all the cytie for lacke of fyue? And he sayde: yf I fynde there fourtye & fyue, I will not destroye them.


text:
And he proceaded to speake vnto hym agayne, & sayde, peraduenture there shalbe fourtye founde there. He answered: I will not do it for forties sake.


text:
He sayde vnto him agayne: O let not my Lord be angry that I speake: peraduenture there shall thyrtye be founde there. And he sayde: I will do nothynge yf I fynde thirtye there.


text:
He sayde agayne: O se, I haue taken vpon me to speake nowe also vnto my Lorde: peraduenture ther shalbe twentye founde there. He answered: I wyll not destroye them for twenties sake.


text:
And be sayde: O let not my Lorde he angry, & I wyll speake yet but this once. Perauenture there shall ten be founde there. He answered: I wyll not destroye them for tens sake.


text:
And the Lorde went his waye as soone as he had lefte commoninge with Abraham. And Abraham also returned vnto his place.


text:
And there came .ij. angels to Sodome at euen. And Lot sat at the gate of Sodome. And Lot seinge them, rose vp to mete them, and he bowed him selfe to the grounde wt his face.


text:
And he sayde: my Lordes, turne in I praye you in to youre seruauntes house & tary all nyghte & washe youre fete & ye shall ryse vp early to go on youre wayes. Whych sayde: nay, but we wyll byde in the streates all nyghte.


text:
And he in maner dyd euen compelle them violently. And they turnynge in vnto him entred in to his house, & he made them a feaste & did bake swete bred, & they did eat


text:
And before they went to rest, the men of the cytie (euen the men of Sodome) compassed the house rounde aboute both olde & yonge, all the people from all quarters.


text:
And they callynge vnto Lot, sayde vnto him: where are the men which came into the thys nyght? brynge them out vnto vs & we will knowe them.


text:
Beholde I haue two daughters which haue knowne no man, them will I brynge out nowe vnto you: & do with them as it semeth good in your eyes. Only vnto these men do nothinge, for therfore came they in vnder the shadowe of my rofe.


text:
And they sayde: stonde back. And they sayde: he came in as one to sciourne, & wyll he be nowe a iudge? we wyll suerly deale worse with the than with them. And they preased sore vpon the man, euen Lot: & came to breake vp the doore,


text:
And the men that were at the doore of the house, they smote with blyndnesse both small & greate: so that they faynted and coulde not fynde the doore.


text:
And the men sayde vnto Lot: If thou haue yet here any sonne in lawe or sonnes or daughters or what soeuer thou hast in the cytie, brynge it out of this place:


text:
for we must destroye this place, because the crye of them is great before the face of God: for the Lorde hath sent vs to destroye it.


text:
And Lot went out and spake vnto hys sonnes in lawe which maried his daughters sayinge: stonde vp: get yowe out of this place, for the Lorde will ouerthrowe this cytie. But he semed as though he had mocked, vnto his sonnes in lawe.


text:
And whan the morninge arose, the angels caused Lot to spede him sayinge: Stonde vp, take thy wyfe and thy two daughters at hande, lest thou peryshe in the synne of the cytie.


text:
And as he prolonged the tyme, the men caught both him, his wyfe & his two daughters by the handes, the Lorde beynge mercyfull vnto him, and they brought hym forth and sette hym without the cytie.


text:
It fortuned whan they had brought them out, he sayde: Saue thy lyfe, and loke not behynde the, neyther tary thou in all thys playne countre. Saue thy selfe in the mountayne, lest thou peryshe.


text:
beholde, thy seruaunt hath fownde grace in thy syghte, and thou hast magnifyed thy mercye which thou hast shewed vnto me in sauynge my lyfe. Beholde, I can not be saued in the mountayne, lest some misfortune fall vpon me and I dye.


text:
Beholde, here is a cytie by, to flee vnto, euen yonder lytle one: Oh let me be saued there: is it not a lytle one, and my soule shall lyue?


text:
And he sayde to hym: se I haue receaued thy request as concernynge this thynge, that I wyll not ouerthrowe thys cytie for the which thou hast spoken.


text:
Haste the, & be saued there, for I can do nothynge tyll thou become thyther. And therfore the name of the cyte is called Zoar.


text:
& ouerthrewe those cyties & all the regyon, and all that dwelled in the cyties, and that that grewe vpon the erth.


text:
& lokynge towarde Sodome & Gomorra & towarde all the londe of that contre he loked: and beholde, the smoke of the contrye arose as the smoke of a fornace.


text:
And it happened that when God destroyed the cyties of that regyon, he thought vpon Abraham, & sent Lot out from the myddes of the ouerthrowenge, when he ouerthrewe the cyties where Lot dwelled.


text:
And Lot departed out of Zoar & dwelled in the mountayns wt his .ij. daughters, for he feared to tary in Zoar, but dwelled in a caue, he & his .ij. daughters.


text:
And the elder sayde vnto the yonger: oure father is olde, and there is not a man in the erth to come in vnto vs after the maner of all the worlde.


text:
Come, we will make oure father droncken with wyne, & lye with him, that we maye saue sede of oure father.


text:
And so they made their father droncken wyth wyne that nyght. And the elder daughter went & laye with her father. And he perceaued it not, nether when she laye doune, nether when she rose vp.


text:
And on the morowe it happened that the elder sayde vnto the yonger: beholde, yesternyght laye I with my father. Let vs make him droncke with wyne this nyght also, & go thou & lye with him, that we maye rayse vp seed of oure father.


text:
And they made their father droncke with wyne that nyght also. And the yonger arose & laye with him. And he perceaued it not: nether when she laye downe, nether when she rose vp.


text:
And the elder bare a sonne, and called hys name Moab. The same is the father of the Moabytes vnto thys daye.


text:
And the yonger bare a sonne also and called hys name Ben Ammi, The same is the father of the chyldren of Ammon vnto this daye.


text:
And Abraham departed thence towarde the south contrey, and dwelled betwene Cades & Sur, and soiorned in Gerar.


text:
And Abraham sayde of Sara hys wyfe: she is my syster. And Abimelech kynge of Gerar sent & fett Sara awaye.


text:
But God came to Abimelech in a dreame in the nyght and sayde to hym: Se, thou shalt dye for the womans sake which thou hast taken awaye, for she is a mans wyfe.


text:
sayde not he vnto me, she is my syster? yee, & sayde not she herselfe: he is my brother? with a pure herte and innocent handes haue I done this.


text:
And God sayde vnto him by a dreame: I wot it well that thou dydest it in the purenesse of thy herte. I kepte the also that thou shuldest not sinne agaynst me, & therfore suffred I the not to touch her.


text:
Nowe therfore delyuer the man his wyfe agayne, for he is a prophete. And he shall praye for the that thou mayst lyue. But and yf thou delyuer her not agayne, be sure that thou shalt dye the deth, both thou, and all that thou hast.


text:
Therfore Abimelech rysynge vp betymes in the mornynge called all his seruauntes, & tolde all these sayinges in their eares, and the men were sore afrayde.


text:
And Abimelech called Abraham & sayde vnto hym: What hast thou done vnto vs & what haue I offended the that thou hast brought on me and on my kyngdome so great a synne? thou hast done dedes vnto me that ought not to be done.


text:
Abraham answered. For I sayde: surely the feare of God is not in thys place, & they shall sley me for my wyfes sake:


text:
yet in very dede she is my syster, for she is the daughter of my father: though she be not the daughter of my mother: and she became my wyfe.


text:
And after, God caused me to wandre, out of my fathers house, I sayde vnto her: Thys kyndnesse shalt thou shewe vnto me in all places where we come, that thou saye of me, he is my brother.


text:
Than toke Abimelech shepe and oxen, men seruauntes & wemen seruauntes & gaue them vnto Abraham, and delyuered hym Sara his wyfe agayne.


text:
But vnto Sara he sayde: Se, I haue geuen thy brother a thousande peces of syluer, beholde, it shall be a couerynge of thyne eyes vnto all that are wt the & thus with all was she reproued.


text:
And so Abraham prayed vnto God, and God healed Abimelech and his wyfe and his maydens, & they bare chyldren.


text:
For Sara was wyth chylde and bare Abraham a sonne in his olde age, euen the same season which the Lorde had appoynted him.


text:
She sayde also: who wolde haue sayd vnto Abraham: that Sara shulde haue geuen chyldren sucke? for I haue borne him a sonne in hys olde age.


text:
The chylde grewe: and was wened: and Abraham made a great feast: the same daye that Isahac was wened.


text:
Wherfore she sayde vnto Abraham: put awaye this bondemayde & hyr sonne: for the sonne of thys bonde woman shall not be heyre with my sonne Isahac:


text:
And God sayde vnto Abraham: let it not be greauous in thy syght, because of the ladd and of thy bondmayde. All that Sara hath sayde vnto the, heare hyr voyce, for in Isahac shall thy seed be called.


text:
And so Abraham rose vp early in the morninge, and toke bread and a bottell of water, and gaue it vnto Hagar, puttynge it on hyr shulders with the ladd also, & sent her awaye. who departynge, wandred vp and doune in the wyldernes of Beer Seba.


text:
and went and satt on the other syde a greate waye, as it were a bowshote of: for she sayde: I will not se the death of the chylde. And she syttynge doune on the other syde, lyfte vp hyr voyce and wepte.


text:
And God herde the voyce of the chylde. And the angell of God called Hagar oute of heauen and sayde vnto her: what ayleth the Hagar? Feare not, for God hath herde the voyce of the childe where he lyeth.


text:
And God opened hyr eyes: and she sawe a well of water. And she went and fylled the bottell with water, and gaue the boye drynke.


text:
And he dwelt in the wyldernesse of Pharan. And hys mother gatt hym a wyfe out of the lande of Egypte.


text:
And it chaunced the same season, that Abimelech and Phicoll hys chefe captayne spake vnto Abraham sayinge: God is wyth the in all that thou doest.


text:
And nowe therfore swere vnto me euen here by God, that thou wylt not hurt me nor my chyldren, nor my chyldrens chyldren. But that thou shalt deale with me and the contre where thou hast bene a straunger, accordynge vnto the kyndnesse that I haue shewed the.


text:
And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a well of water, which Abimelechs seruauntes had violently taken a waye.


text:
And Abimelech sayde: I wote not who hath done thys thinge. Also thou toldest me not: nether herde I of it, but thys daye.


text:
And Abraham toke shepe and oxen, and gaue them vnto Abimelech. And they made both of them a bonde together.


text:
And Abimelech sayd vnto Abraham: what meane these .vii. ewe lambes which thou hast set by them selues?


text:
He answered: For these .vii. lambes shalt thou take of my hande, that they maye be a wytnesse vnto me, that I haue dygged thys well.


text:
Thus made they a bonde to gether at Beer Seba. And Abimelech & Phicol his chefe Captayne rose vp, and turned agayne vnto the lande of the Philistines.


text:
And Abraham planted a wodd in Beer Seba, and called there on the name of the Lorde, the euerlastyng God:


text:
After these sayinges it happened that God dyd proue Abraham and sayde vnto hym: Abraham. Whych answered: here am I.


text:
And he sayde take thy only sonne Isahac whom thou louest, & get the vnto the lande Moria, and sacrifyce hym there for a sacrifyce vpon one of the mountayns, whych I wyll shewe the:


text:
Than Abraham rose vp early in the mornyng, & sadled his asse, and toke two of hys yonge men wyth hym, and Isahac hys sonne: and cloue wodd for the sacrifyce, and rose vp and gott hym to the place whyche God had appoynted hym.


text:
and sayde vnto his yonge men: byde here with the asse. I and the lad wyll goo yonder and worshyppe, & come agayne vnto you.


text:
And Abraham toke the wodd of the sacrifyce and layde it vpon Isahac his sonne, but he him selfe toke fyre in his hande and a knyfe. And they went both of them together.


text:
Than spake Isahac vnto Abraham hys father and sayde: My father? And he answered: here am I my sonne. He sayd: Se here is fyre and wodd, but where is the shepe for sacrifyce?


text:
Abraham answered: my sonne, God wyll prouyde him a shepe for sacrifyce. And so they wente both together.


text:
And when they came vnto the place which God had shewed hym, Abraham made an aulter there, & dressed the wodd, and bownde Isahac his sonne, & layde him on the aulter, aboue vpon the wodd.


text:
And the angell of the Lorde called vnto him from heauen, saying: Abraham Abraham? And he sayde: here am I.


text:
And he sayde: laye not thy hande vpon the chylde, nether do any thinge at all vnto him, for now I knowe that thou fearest God, and hast for my sake not spared thyne onely sonne.


text:
And Abraham lyftynge vp his eyes, loked aboute: and beholde, there was a ram caught by the hornes in a thyckette. And he went & toke the ram and offred hym vp for a sacrifyce in the steade of hys sonne.


text:
And Abraham called the name of the place, the Lorde wyll see. As it is sayde thys daye: in the mounte wyll the Lorde be sene.


text:
and sayde: by my selfe haue I sworne (sayth the Lorde) because thou hast done thys thynge and hast not spared thy onely sonne:


text:
that in blessynge I wyll blesse the, and in multiplienge I wyll multiplie thy seed as the starres of heauen & as the sande which is vpon the see syde. And thy seed shall possesse the gate of hys enemies.


text:
So turned Abraham agayne vnto hys yonge men, and they rose vp and went together to Beer Seba. And Abraham dwelt at Beer Seba.


text:
And it chaunsed after these thinges, that one tolde Abraham sayinge: Beholde, Milcha, she hath also borne chyldren vnto thy brother Nachor.


text:
& Sara dyed in kyriat Arba. The same is Hebron in the lande of Canaan. And Abraham came to morne Sara, and to wepe for her.


text:
I am a straunger & a foryner amonge you, geue me a possessyon to burye in wyth you, that I maye bury my coarse out of my syght.


text:
Heare vs Lorde, thou art a prynce of God amonge vs. In the chefest of oure sepulchres bury thy dead: None of vs also shall forbyd the hys sepulchre, but thou mayest bury thy dead therin:


text:
And he comoned wyth them sayinge: If it be youre mynde that I shall bury my dead out of my syght, heare me, and speke for me to Ephron the sonne of Zoar:


text:
that he maye geue me the dubbyll caue which he hath, and that is in the ende of hys felde: but for as moche money, as it is worth shall he geue it me in the presence of you, for a possessyon to burye in.


text:
For Ephron dwelled amonge the chyldren of Heth. And Ephron the Hethite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth and of all that went in at the gates of hys cyte, sayinge:


text:
Not so my Lorde, heare me. The felde geue I the, and the caue that therin is geue I the also: and euen in the presence of the sonnes of my people geue I it the, bury thy dead.


text:
& spake vnto Ephron in the audience of the people of the contre saying: I praye the heare me yf it please the: I wyll geue siluer for the felde, take it & I will bury my deed there.


text:
My Lorde, herken vnto me. The lande is worth .iiij. hundred sycles of syluer: what is that betwyxte the and me? bury therfore thy deed.


text:
And Abraham harkened vnto Ephron & weyed hym the syluer whych he had sayde, in the audience of the sonnes of Heth. Euen .iiii. hundred syluersycles of currant money amonge marchauntes.


text:
And the felde of Ephron with the dubbyll caue whyche was before Mamre: euen the felde and the caue that was therin and all the trees that were in the felde, & that were in all the borders rounde aboute, was made sur


text:
vnto Abraham for a possession, in the syght of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gates of the cyte.


text:
After thys dyd Abraham burye Sara hys wyfe in the double caue of the felde that lyeth before Mamre. The same is Hebron in the lande of Chanaan.


text:
And so both the felde and the caue that is therin, was made vnto Abraham a sure possessyon to bury in, of the sonnes of Heth.


text:
And Abraham sayde vnto his eldest seruaunte of his house whych had the rule ouer all that he had: Put thy hande vnder my thygh,


text:
& I wyll make the swere by the Lorde God of heauen and God of the erth, that thou shalt not take a wyfe vnto my sonne, of the daughters of Chanaan, amonge whych I dwell.


text:
But the seruaunte sayde vnto hym: peraduenture the woman wyll not agree to come wyth me vnto thys lande, shall I bringe thy sonne agayne vnto the lande whych thou cammest out of?


text:
The Lorde God of heauen whych toke me from my fathers house and from the lande where I was borne, and whych spake vnto me and that sware vnto me, sayinge: vnto thy seed wyll I geue thys lande, he shall sende hys angell before the, and thou shalt take a wyfe vnto my sonne from thence.


text:
Neuerthelesse yf the woman wyll not agree to folowe the, than shalt thou be wyth out daunger of thys my ooth. Onely brynge not my sonne thyther agayne.


text:
And the seruaunt put hys hande vnder the thygh of Abraham his master, and sware to hym as concernynge that matter.


text:
And the seruaunt toke .x. camels of the cameles of hys master and departed, and had of all maner goodes of hys master wyth hym, and stode vp and went to Mesopotamya, vnto the cytie of Nahor.


text:
And made hys camels to lye downe wythout the cytie by a wels syde of water, at euen: aboute the tyme that women come out to drawe water,


text:
and he sayde. Lorde God of my master Abraham, sende me good spede this daye, and shewe mercy vnto my master Abraham.


text:
Lo I stonde here by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of thys cytye come out to drawe water:


text:
Nowe the damsell to whome I saye, stompe downe thy pytcher I praye the that I maye dryncke. If she saye also: Dryncke, and I wyll geue thy camels drincke: the same is she that thou hast ordeyned for thy seruaunte Isahac: yee, and therby shall I knowe that thou hast shewed mercy on my master.


text:
And it came to passe yer he had left speakynge, beholde, Rebecca came out, the daughter of Bethuell, sonne to Milca the wyfe of Nahor Abrahams brother, and hyr pytcher vpon hyr shoulder:


text:
The damsell was very fayre to loke vpon, and yet a mayde and vnknowen of man. And she went downe to the well, and fylled hyr pytcher and came vp.


text:
And she sayde: drincke my Lorde. And she hasted and lett downe her pytcher vpon hyr arme, and gaue hym dryncke.


text:
And when she had gyuen hym dryncke, she sayde: I wyll drawe water for thy camels also, vntyll they haue droncke ynough.


text:
And she powred out hyr pytcher in to the trough hastely, and ranne agayne vnto the well to fett water: and drewe for all hys camels.


text:
And the man wondred at her: but helde his peace, to wete whether the Lorde had made hys iourney prosperous or not.


text:
And it fortuned as the camelles had lefte drynkynge, the man toke a golden earynge of halfe a sicle waight, and two bracellettes for hyr handes, of .x. sycles weyght of golde,


text:
and sayde: Whose daughter art thou? tell me I praye the, is there rowme in thy fathers house for vs to lodge in?


text:
and sayde: blessed be the Lorde God of my master Abraham, whych ceasseth not to deale mercyfully and truly wyth my master, and hath brought me the waye to my masters brothers house.


text:
for as sone as he had sene the earynges and the bracelettes in hys systers handes (and hearde the wordes of Rebecca hys syster sayinge: thus sayde the man vnto me) he went out vnto the man. And loo, he stode wyth the camels by the well syde.


text:
And he sayde: come in thou blessed of the Lorde. Wherfore stondest thou wythout? I haue dressed the house, and made rowme for the camels.


text:
And than the man came into the house: and he vnbrydled the camels. and (Laban) brought lytter and prouonder for the camels, and water to washe hys fete and the mennes fete that were wt hym,


text:
& set meate before hym to eate. But he sayde: I wyll not eate, vntyll I haue sayde myne arande. And he sayde: saye on.


text:
& God hath blessed my master out of measure, that he is become greate, and hath geuen hym shepe, and oxen, syluer and golde, men seruauntes, and mayde seruauntes, camels and asses.


text:
And Sara my masters wyfe bare hym a sonne, when she was olde: and vnto hym hath he geuen all that he hath.


text:
And my master made me swere sayinge: thou shalt not take a wyfe to my sonne amonge the daughters of the Cananites in whose lande I dwell:


text:
And he answered me: The Lorde, before whome I walke, wyll sende hys angell wyth the, and prospere thy iourney and thou shalt take a wyfe for my sonne, of my kynred and of my fathers house.


text:
Them shalt thou be gyltlesse of my curse, whan thou commest to my kynred. And yf they geue the not one, thou shalt be giltlesse of my curse.


text:
And so I came thys daye vnto the well and sayde: O Lorde, the God of my master Abraham, yf it be so nowe that thou makest my iourney whych I go, prosperous:


text:
beholde I stonde by thys well of water, and when a vyrgyn cometh forth to drawe water, and I saye to her: geue me (I praye the) a lytle water of thy pytcher to drincke,


text:
and she saye to me: dryncke thou, and I wyll also drawe for thy camels: that same is the wyfe whom the Lorde hath prepared for my masters sonne.


text:
And before I had made an ende of speakynge in myne harte: beholde Rebecca came forth, and hyr pytcher on hyr shulder, and she went downe vnto the well & drewe water. And I sayde vnto her: geue me dryncke I praye the.


text:
And she made hast, & toke downe hyr pitcher from of hyr, and sayde dryncke, and I wyll geue thy camels dryncke also.


text:
And I drancke, & she gaue the camels dryncke also. And I asked her, sayinge: whose daughter art thou? She answered: the daughter of Bathuel Nahors sonne whom Milca bare vnto hym. And I put the earing vpon hyr face, and the bracelettes vpon hyr handes.


text:
And I bowed my selfe, and worshypped the Lorde, & blessed the Lorde God of my master Abraham whych had brought me the ryght waye, to take my masters brothers daughter vnto hys sonne.


text:
Nowe also yf ye wyll deale mercyfully and truly wyth my master, tell me: and yf not, tell me also: that I maye turne me to the ryght hande or to the lefte.


text:
Than answered Laban and Bathuel, sayinge. This sayenge is proceded euen out of the Lorde, we can not therfore saye vnto the, ether good or bad:


text:
beholde, Rebecca is before the, take her and goo, that she maye be thy masters sonnes wyfe, euen as God hath sayde.


text:
And the seruaunt toke forth iewelles of syluer and iewelles of golde and rayment, and gaue them to Rebecca. And vnto hyr brother and to hyr mother, he gaue gyftes.


text:
And they dyd eate & dryncke, both he and the men that were with him, and taryed all nyght. And whan they rose vp in the mornynge. He sayde: let me departe vnto my master.


text:
Hyr brother & hyr mother answered: let the damsell abyde wyth vs a whyle, and it be but euen .x. dayes, and than shall she go.


text:
He sayde vnto them: hynder me not, beholde, the Lorde hath prospered my iourney. Sende me awaye therfore, that I maye goo vnto my master.


text:
And they called forth Rebecca, and sayde vnto her: wylt thou goo with this man? And she answered, I wyll goo.


text:
And they blessed Rebecca, and sayde vnto her: Thou art oure syster, growe into thousande thousandes and thy seed possesse the gate of theyr enemyes.


text:
And Rebecca arose and hyr damsels, and satt them vp vpon the camels, and went theyr waye after the man. And the seruaunt toke Rebecca, and went hys waye.


text:
And Isahac was a commynge from the waye of the well of the lyuinge and seynge me, for he dwelt in the south contreye,


text:
& Isahac was gone out to praye in the felde at the euen tyde. And he lyft vp hys eyes and sawe the camels commyng.


text:
and sayd vnto the seruaunt: what man is thys that commeth walkynge agaynst vs in the felde? And the seruaunt sayde: it is my master. Therfore she toke hyr cloke, and put it about her.


text:
And Isahac broughte her in to his mother Saraes tente, and toke Rebecca, and she became hys wyfe, and he loued her: and so Isahac receaued conforte after hys mother


text:
And the sonnes of Midian: Epha, and Epher, Hanoch, and Abida & Elda. All these were the chyldren of ketura.


text:
But vnto the sonnes of the concubynes whych Abraham had, he gaue gyftes, and sent them awaye from Isahac hys sonne (whyle he yet lyued) eastwarde, vnto the lande of kedes.


text:
and than fell sycke and dyed in a lustye age (when he had lyued ynough) and was put vnto hys people.


text:
And hys sonnes Isahac and Ismahel buryed hym in the double caue in the felde of Ephron sonne of Zoar the Hethyte besyde the playne of Mamre.


text:
It fortuned after the deeth of Abraham that God blessed Isahac his sonne, and Isahac dwelled by the well of the lyuynge and seynge me.


text:
These are the generacions of Ismael Abrahams sonne, whych Hagar the Egypcyan Saras handmayde bare vnto Abraham.


text:
And these are the names of the sonnes of Ismael, in their names accordinge to theyr kynreddes. The eldest sonne of Ismael: Nebaioth, and Cedar: and Adbeel, and Mibsam,


text:
These are the sonnes of Ismael, & these are, theyr names, by theyr townes and castels .xij. princes of their housholdes.


text:
And these are the yeares of the lyfe of Ismael, an hundred and .xxxvij. yeare, and he fell sycke, & dyed, & was layde vnto hys people.


text:
And they dwelled from Heuilah vnto Sur that is by the border of Egypte, as thou goest towarde the Assirians. And he dyed in the presence of all hys brethren.


text:
And Isahac was .xl. yeare olde when he toke Rebecca to wyfe, the daughter of Bathuel the Sirian of Mesopotamia and syster to Laban the Sirien.


text:
And Isahac made intercessyon vnto the Lorde for hys wyfe: because she was baren: and the Lorde was intreated of hym, and Rebecca his wyfe conceaued:


text:
and the chyldren stroue to gether wythin her. Therfore she sayd: yf it shulde goo so to passe, what helpeth it that I am wyth chylde? Wherfore, she went to aske the Lorde.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto her: there are two maner of people in thy wombe, & two nacyons shalbe deuyded out of thy bowels, and the one nacyon shalbe myghtyer than the other, and the elder shalbe seruaunte vnto the yonger.


text:
And he that came out fyrst was redd, and he was all ouer as it were a rough garment, & they called his name Esau.


text:
And after hym, came hys brother out, & hys hande holdynge Esau by the hele. And his name was called Iacob. And Isahac was .lx. yeare olde when they were borne:


text:
and the boyes grewe, and Esau became a connynge hunter & a tyller of the erth. But Iacob was a perfecte man, & dwelled in the tentes.


text:
and Esau sayd to Iacob: fede me I praye the wyth that redde potage, for I am fayntie. And therfore was hys name called Edom.


text:
Than Iacob gaue Esau brede and potage of rysse. And he dyd eate and dryncke and rose vp, & went hys waye. And Esau regarded not hys byrthryght.


text:
And there came a derth in the lande, passynge the fyrst derth that was in the dayes of Abraham. And Isahac went vnto Abimelech kynge of the Philistyans vnto Gerar.


text:
And the Lorde apeared vnto him, and sayde: Go not downe into Egypte, but byde in the lande whych I shall shewe vnto the:


text:
soiourne in thys lande, and I wyll be wyth the, and wyll blesse the: for vnto the and vnto thy sede I wyll geue all these contreys. And I wyll performe the oothe which I swore vnto Abraham thy father,


text:
and wyll multiplye thy seed as the starres of heauen, and wyll geue vnto thy seed all these contreys. And in thy seed shall all the nacyons of the erth be blessed,


text:
because that Abraham harkened vnto my voyce and kepte myne ordinaunces, my commaundementes, my statutes, and my lawes.


text:
And the men of the place asked hym of hys wyfe, and he sayde: she is my syster: for he feared to saye: She is my wyfe, lest the men of the place shulde haue kylled him because of Rebecca whych was bewtyfull to the eye.


text:
And it happened after he had bene there longe tyme, that Abimelech kynge of the Philistyans loked out at a wyndowe, and sawe Isahac sportynge with Rebecca hys wyfe.


text:
And Abimelech called Isahac, and sayde: she is of a suertye thy wyfe, & why saydest thou: She is my syster? To whom Isahac answered: I thought that I myght peraduenture haue dyed for hyr sake.


text:
Abimelech sayd: why hast thou done thys vnto vs? one of the people myght lyghtely haue lyne by thy wyfe, and so shuldest thou haue brought synne vpon vs.


text:
And so Abimelech charged all hys people, sayinge: he that toucheth this man or hys wyfe, shall dye the death.


text:
for he had possessyon of shepe, of oxen and a myghtye housholde, and therfore the Philistians had enuy at hym:


text:
for the Philystines stopped & fylled vp wyth erth all the welles which his fathers seruauntes dygged in hys father Abrahams tyme.


text:
And Isahac returnynge, digged agayne the welles of water whych they dygged in the dayes of Abraham hys father, which the Philistyans had stopped after the deth of Abraham, and gaue them the same names whych hys father gaue them.


text:
And the herdmen of Gerar dyd stryue wyth Isahacs herdmen, sayinge: the water is oures. Than called he the well Eseck, because they stroue wyth hym.


text:
And than he departed thense, and dygged another well for the which they stroue not: therfore called he it Rehoboth, sayinge: the Lorde hath nowe made vs rowme, that we maye encrease vpon the erth.


text:
And the Lorde appeared vnto hym the same nyght, and sayde: I am the God of Abraham thy father, feare not, for I am wyth the, & wyll blesse the, and multiplye thy seed for my seruaunt Abrahams sake.


text:
And he buylded an aulter there, and called vpon the name of the Lorde, and pytched hys tente. And there Isahacs seruauntes dygged a well.


text:
Whych answered: In seinge, we sawe that the Lorde was with the, & we sayde: let there be nowe an oothe betwyxte vs euen betwixte vs and the, and let vs make a bonde wyth the,


text:
that thou shuldest do vs no hurte, as we haue not touched the, and as we haue done vnto the nothynge but good, and sent the awaye in peace: for thou art nowe the blessed of the Lorde.


text:
And they rose vp by tymes in the mornynge, and sware one to a nother. And Isahac sent them awaye. And they departed from hym in peace.


text:
And that same daye it happened, that Isahacs seruauntes came & tolde hym of a well whych they had dygged: and sayde vnto hym, we haue founde water.


text:
Esau was .xl. yeare olde and he toke a wyfe called Iudith, the daughter of Bery an Hethyte, & Basinath the daughter of Elon an Hethyte also,


text:
And it came to passe that whan Isahac wexed olde and hys eyes were dymme (so that he coulde not see) He called Esau his eldest sonne and sayd vnto hym: my sonne. And he sayde vnto hym: here am I.


text:
and nowe therfore take thy weapens, thy quyuer and thy bowe, & get the to the feldes, that thou mayest take me some venyson,


text:
and make me meate soche as I loue, and brynge it me, that I maye eate, and that my soule may blesse the before that I dye.


text:
But Rebecca hearde when Isahac spake to Esau hys sonne. And Esau wente into the felde, to catche venyson, and to brynge it.


text:
And Rebecca sayd vnto Iacob hyr sonne sayinge? Beholde I haue herde thy father talkynge wyth Esau thy brother and sayinge:


text:
brynge me venyson and make me meate, that I maye eate and blesse the before the Lorde, afore my death.


text:
gett the to the flocke, and brynge me thence two good kyddes, that I maye make meate of them for thy father, soche as he loueth.


text:
And thou shalt brynge it to thy father, that he maye eate & that he maye blesse the before hys deth.


text:
My father shall peraduenture fele me, and I shall seme vnto him as though I went aboute to begyle hym, & so shall he brynge a curse vpon me, and not a blessynge:


text:
and hys mother sayde vnto hym: Upon me be thy curse my sonne, only heare my voyce, and go and fetch me them.


text:
And Iacob went and fet them, and brought them to hys mother. And hys mother made meate such as she knewe his father loued.


text:
And Rebecca fett goodly rayment of hyr eldest sonnes Esau, whych was in the house wyth hyr, & put yt vpon Iacob hyr youngest sonne,


text:
And Iacob sayde vnto hys father: I am Esau thy eldest sonne, I haue done accordynge as thou baddest me: vp and syt and eate of my venyson, that thy soule maye blesse me.


text:
And Isahac sayde vnto hys sonne: howe commeth it that thou hast founde it so quyckly my sonne? He answered: The Lorde thy God brought it to my hande.


text:
Than sayde Isahac vnto Iacob, come nere and let me fele the my sonne, whether thou be my sonne Esau or not.


text:
Than went Iacob to Isahac hys father, and he felt hym and sayd: the voyce is Iacobs voyce, but the handes are the handes of Esau.


text:
And he knewe hym not, because hys handes were rough as hys brother Esaus handes: and so he blessed hym.


text:
Than sayde he: brynge me & let me eate of my sonnes venyson, that my soule maye blesse the. And he brought hym and he eate. And he brought hym wyne also, and he drancke.


text:
And he went vnto hym and kyssed hym. And he smelled the sauoure of hys rayment, and blessed hym, and sayde, See, the smelle of my sonne is as the smell of a felde whych the Lorde had blessed.


text:
People be thy seruauntes, and nacyons bowe vnto the. Be Lorde ouer thy brethren, and thy mothers chyldren stowpe vnto the. Curssed be he that cursseth the, and blessed be he that blesseth the.


text:
It happened that assoone as Isahac had made an ende of blessynge and Iacob was skace gone out from the presence of Isahac his father, then came Esau his brother from his huntyng


text:
and had made also meate, and brought it vnto hys father, and sayde vnto his father: let my father aryse and eate of his sonnes venyson, that thy soule maye blesse me.


text:
And Isahac was greatly astonyed out of mesure, and sayde: whych is he & where is he then that hath hunted venyson and brought it me? and I haue eaten of all before thou camest, and haue blessed hym, & he shall be blessed.


text:
When Esau herde the wordes of hys father, he cryed out greatly and bytterly, aboue mesure, and sayde vnto hys father: blesse me also my father.


text:
And he sayd agayne: He maye well be called Iacob, for he hath vndermyned me now two tymes, fyrst he toke awaye my byrthryght: and se, nowe hath he taken awaye my blessynge also. And he sayde: hast thou kept neuer a blessynge for me?


text:
Isahac answered and sayde vnto Esau: beholde I haue made hym thy Lord, and all hys mothers chyldren haue I made hys seruauntes. Moreouer wyth corne & wyne haue I stablysshed hym, what can I do vnto the nowe my sonne?


text:
And Esau sayde vnto hys father: hast thou but that one blessynge my father? blesse me also my father: so lyfted vp Esau his voyce and wepte.


text:
Than Isahac hys father answered & sayde vnto hym: beholde, thy dwellinge place shall be the fatnesse of the erth, and of the dewe of heauen from aboue.


text:
And wyth thy swerde shalt thou lyue, and shalt be thy brothers seruaunt. And it wyll come to passe, that when thou shalt gett the mastrye, thou shalt lowse hys yocke from of thy necke.


text:
And Esau hated Iacob, because of the blessynge that hys father blessed hym wyth. all. And Esau sayde in his harte: The dayes of my fathers sorowe are at hande, and I wyll sley my brother Iacob.


text:
And these wordes of Esau hyr eldest sonne were tolde to Rebecca. And she sent and called Iacob hyr yongest sonne, and sayde vnto hym: beholde thy brother Esau threatneth to kyll the:


text:
& vntyll thy brothers wrath turne awaye from the, & he forget the thynges whych thou hast done to him. Than wyll I sende and fet the awaye from thence. Why shulde I be desolate of you bothe in one daye?


text:
& Rebecca spake to Isahac, I am wery of my lyfe, for feare of the daughters of Heth. If Iacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, soche one as these are, or of the daughters of the lande, what good shall my lyfe do me?


text:
And so Isahac called Iacob and blessed hym, & charged hym, & sayde vnto him: se thou take not a wyfe of the daughters of Chanaan,


text:
but aryse & gett the to Mesopotamia to the house of Bethuel thy mothers father: and there take the a wyfe of the daughters of Laban thy mothers brother.


text:
And God almyghtye blesse the, & make the to increase, and multyplye the that thou mayst be a nombre of people,


text:
and geue the the blessynge of Abraham: to the and to thy seed wyth the, that thou mayst possesse the lande (wherin thou art a straunger) whyche God gaue vnto Abraham.


text:
Thus Isahac sent forth Iacob. And he went to Mesopotamia vnto Laban, sonne of Bethuel the Sirien, and brother to Rebecca Iacob and Esaus mother.


text:
When Esau sawe that Isahac had blessed Iacob, and sent him to Mesopotamia, to fet him a wyfe thence, and that as he blessed hym he gaue him a charge, sayinge: thou shalt not take a wyfe of the daughters of Chanaan:


text:
then went he vnto Ismael, and toke vnto the wyues whych he had, Mahala the daughter of Ismael Abrahams sonne, the syster of Nabaioth to be his wyfe.


text:
and came vnto a place by chaunce, and taryed there all nyghte, because the sonne was downe. And toke a stone of the place, and put it vnder hys heade, and layde hym downe in the same place a slepe.


text:
And he dreamed: and beholde, there stode a ladder vpon the erth, and the topp of it reached vp to heauen. And se, the angels of God went vp and downe vpon it,


text:
yce and God stode vpon it, and sayde. I am the Lorde God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isahac: The lande whyche thou slepest vpon wyll I geue the and thy seed.


text:
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the erth: and thou shalt spreade abrode to the west, to the east, to the north and to the south. And thorowe the and in thy seed shall all the kynredes of the erth be blessed.


text:
And se I am wyth the, and wylbe thy keper in all places whether thou goest, and wyll brynge the agayne in to thys lande: nether wyll I leaue the vntyll I haue made good all that I haue promysed the.


text:
When Iacob was awaked out of hys slepe, he sayde: surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware.


text:
And he was afrayed & sayde: howe fearfull is this place? it is none other, but euen the house of God and the gate of heauen.


text:
And Iacob stode vp early in the mornynge, & toke the stone that he had layde vnder hys head, and pitched it vp an ende and poured oyle on the topp of it.


text:
And Iacob vowed a vowe, sayinge: If God wyll be wyth me, and wyll kepe me in thys iourney which I goo, and will geue me bread to eate, and clothes to put on,


text:
and thys stone which I haue set vp an ende, shalbe goddes house: and of all that thou shalt geue me, wyll I geue the tenth vnto the.


text:
And as he loked aboute, beholde there was a well in the felde, and .iij. flockes of shepe laye therby (for at that well were the flockes watered) and there was a great stone vpon the well mouth.


text:
And thyther were all the flockes brought, and they rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watred the shepe, & put the stone agayne vpon the welles mouth vnto hys place.


text:
And he sayde vnto them, is he in good health? And they sayde, he his in good health, and beholde, hys daughter Rahel commeth with the shepe.


text:
And he sayde, lo, it is yet but hye daye, nether is it tyme that the catell shulde be gathered together, water ye the shepe and go and fede them.


text:
And they sayde, we maye not, vntyll all the flockes he brought to gether, and tyll they roll the stone from the welles mouth, and so we water oure shepe.


text:
As soone as Iacob sawe Rahel, the daughter of Laban his mothers brother, and the shepe of Laban hys mothers brother, he went and rowled the stone from the wells mouth, and watered the flocke of Laban his mothers brother.


text:
and Iacob tolde Rahel, that he was hyr fathers brother & Rebeccas sonne. Therfore ranne she and tolde hyr father.


text:
And it happened when Laban hearde tell of Iacob his systers sonne, he ranne to mete him, & embraced him & kissed him, & brought him to his house. And he tolde Laban all the matter.


text:
To whom Laban sayde: well, thou art my bone & my fleshe. And he abode wyth him the space of a moneth.


text:
And Laban sayde vnto Iacob: Though thou be my brother, shuldest thou therfore serue me for naught? tell me, what shall thy wages be?


text:
And Iacob serued .vij. yeares for Rahel and they semed vnto him but a fewe dayes, for the loue he had to her.


text:
And when the mornynge was come, beholde it was Lea. Than sayde he to Laban wherfore hast thou played thus wt me? dyd not I serue the for Rahel? wherfore than hast thou begyled me?


text:
Passe out thys weke, and than shall thys also be geuen the for the seruyce whych thou shalt serue me yet .vij. yeres more.


text:
And Iacob dyd euen so, and passed out that weke, and than he gaue him Rahel hys daughter to wyfe also.


text:
And Lea conceaued and bare a sonne, and called hys name Ruben, for she sayde: the Lorde hath loked vpon my tribulacyon. Nowe therfore my husband wyll loue me.


text:
And she conceaued agayne and bare a sonne, and sayde: the Lorde hath herde that I am despysed, and hath therfore geuen me thys sonne also, and she called hys name Simeon.


text:
And she conceaued yet, & bare a sonne, and sayde: nowe thys once wyll my husbande kepe me company, because I haue borne hym .iii. sonnes: and therfore was hys name called Leui.


text:
And she conceaued yet agayne, and bare a sonne, sayinge: nowe wyll I prayse the Lorde: therfore she called hys name Iuda, and left bearynge.


text:
Rahel whan she sawe that she bare Iacob no chyldren, she enuyed hyr syster, and sayde vnto Iacob: Geue me children, or els I am but deed.


text:
And Iacob was wrooth wt Rahel sayig: Am I in Goddes stead, which kepeth from the the frute of thy wombe?


text:
Then she sayd: here is my mayde Bilha, go in vnto her, & she shall beare vpon my lappe, that I maye be encreased by her.


text:
Than sayde Rahel. God hath geuen sentence on my syde, and hath also hearde my voyce, and hath geuen me a sonne. Therfore called she hym Dan.


text:
And Rahel sayde: wyth Godly wrestlynges haue I wrestled wyth my syster, and haue gotten the vpper hande. And she called hys name: Nepthali.


text:
And Ruben went out in the dayes of the whet haruest and founde mandragoras in the feldes, and brought them vnto hys mother Lea. Than sayd Rahel to Lea: geue me of thy sonnes mandragoras.


text:
To whom Lea answered: Is it not ynough that thou hast taken awaye my housbande, but woldest take awaye my sonnes mandragoras also? Than sayde Rahel: well, let hym slepe wt the thys nyghte, for thy sonnes mandragoras.


text:
And Iacob came from the feldes at euen, and Lea went out to mete hym, and sayde: come into me, for I haue bought the wyth my sonnes mandragoras. And he slepte wyth her that nyghte.


text:
Than sayde Lea. God hath geuen me a rewarde, because I gaue my mayden to my housbande, & she called hym Isachar.


text:
And Lea sayd: God hath endewed me wt a good dowrye. Nowe wyll my husbande dwell wyth me, because I haue borne hym .vi. sonnes: & called his name Zabulon.


text:
As soone as Rahel had borne Ioseph, Iacob sayde to Laban: Sende me awaye that I maye go vnto my awne place and contrey,


text:
geue me my wyues and my children for whom I haue serued the, and let me goo: for thou knowest what seruyce I haue done the.


text:
To whom Laban answered: yf I haue founde fauoure in thy syght (for I suppose that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake)


text:
But he sayde vnto hym: thou knowest what seruyce I haue done the, and in what takynge thy catell haue bene vnder me:


text:
For it was but lytle that thou haddest before I came, and nowe it is encreased into a multitude, and the Lorde hath blessed the for my sake. But nowe when shall I make prouisyon for myne awne house also?


text:
And he sayde: what shall I then geue the? And Iacob answered: thou shalt geue me nothynge at all, yf thou wylt do thys one thynge for me: and then wyll I turne agayne, and fede thy shepe and kepe them.


text:
I wyll go aboute all thy shepe thys daye, and separate from them all the shepe that are spotted and of dyuers coloures, and all blacke shepe amonge the lambes, & the partye, and the spotted amonge the kyddes: and the same shalbe my rewarde.


text:
So shall my ryghtwesnes answere for me to morowe, and shall come for my rewarde before thy face, and euery one that is not speckled and partye amonge the goates and blacke amonge the shepe, the same shalbe theft wyth me.


text:
Therfore he toke out that same daie the he goates that were partye and of dyuerse coloures, and all the she gootes that were spotted and partye coloured, and all that had whyte in them, and all the blacke amonge the shepe, and put them in the kepynge of hys sonnes,


text:
Iacob toke roddes of grene popular, hasell & of chestnut trees, & pylled whyte strakes in them, & made the whyte apere in the roddes.


text:
And put the roddes whyche he had pylled, euen before the shepe, in the gutters & watrynge troughes when the shepe came to dryncke: that they shulde conceaue when they came to dryncke.


text:
And Iacob parted the lambes & turned the faces of the shepe towarde spotted thynges, and towarde all maner of blacke, that was amonge the shepe of Laban: Namely, puttynge hys awne flockes by them selfe, & not puttynge them wyth Labans shepe.


text:
And it fortuned that in euery rammynge tyme of the stronger shepe, Iacob layed the roddes before the eyes of the shepe in the gutters: namely, that he myght make them conceaue before the roddes.


text:
But when the shepe were feble, he put them not in. And so the febler were Labans, and the stronger Iacobs.


text:
And the man increaced exceadyngly, and had a great flocke, mayde seruauntes and man seruauntes, camels and asses.


text:
But he hearde the wordes of Labans sonnes sayenge: Iacob hath taken awaye all that was oure fathers, and of oure fathers goodes hath he gotten all thys honoure.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Iacob: turne agayne in to the lande of thy fathers and to thy kynred, & I wyll be wyth the.


text:
& sayde vnto them: I se youre fathers countenaunce that it is not towarde me as yesterdaye & yeryesterdaye. But the God of my father hath bene wyth me.


text:
But youre father hath disceaued me, and chaunged my wages .x. tymes: but God suffred hym not to hurte me.


text:
When he sayde, the spotted shall be thy wages, than all the shepe bare spotted. And whan he sayde: the straked shall be thy rewarde, than bare all the shepe straked:


text:
But in rammynge tyme it happened, that I lyfted vp myne eyes & sawe in a dreame, & beholde the rammes leaped vpon the shepe that were straked, spotted & partye.


text:
And he sayde: lyfte vp nowe thyne eyes & se all the rammes leapinge vpon the shepe that are straked, spotted & partye: for I haue sene all that Laban doth vnto the,


text:
I am the God of Bethel, where thou anoyntedst the stone, and where thou vowedst a vowe vnto me. Now therfore aryse & get the out of this countre, and returne vnto the lande wher thou wast borne.


text:
Than answered Rahel, and Lea, & sayde vnto hym haue we a porcion & inheritaunce in our fathers house?


text:
But all the riches whych God hath taken from oure father, that is ours & oure childrens. And now what soeuer God hath sayde vnto the, that do.


text:
& caried awaye all hys flockes & all hys substaunce which he had procured, hys riches and possessions which he had gotten in Mesopotamia, for to go to Isahac hys father vnto the land of Canaan.


text:
So fled he & all that he had, and made hym selfe redy, & passed ouer the ryuer, & set hys face streyght toward the mount Gilead.


text:
Than he toke his brethren with hym and folowed after him .vii. dayes iourney, & ouer toke hym at the mounte Gilead.


text:
And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dreame by night, & sayd vnto hym: take hede, that thou speake not to Iacob ought saue good.


text:
And Laban ouertoke Iacob: and Iacob had pitched hys tente in the mounte. And Laban with hys brethren pitched their tente also vpon the mounte Gilead:


text:
And Laban sayde, to Iacob: Why hast thou thys done to steale awaye my herte, and carye awaye my doughters as though they had bene taken captyue wyth the swerde?


text:
Wherfore wentest thou awaye secretely vnknowen to me, & didest not tell me, that I myght haue brought the on the waye wyth myrth, syngyng, tymrel & harpe,


text:
for I am able to do you euyll. But the God of your father spake vnto me yesterdaye, saying take hede that thou speake not to Iacob ought saue good.


text:
And now though thou wentest thy waye, because thou longest after thy fathers house, yet wherfore hast thou stolen my goddes?


text:
Iacob answered and sayde to Laban because I was afrayed, & thought that thou woldest haue taken awaye thy doughters from me.


text:
But whyth whome soeuer thou fyndest thy goddes, let hym dye, here before oure brethren. Seke that thyne is by me, & take it to the. But Iacob wyst not that Rahel had stolen them.


text:
Than went Laban into Iacobs tente, and into Leas tente, & into the .ii. maydens tentes: but founde them not: Than went he out of leas tente, and entred into Rahels tente.


text:
And Rahel had taken the ymages & put them in the camels strawe, & sate downe vpon them. And Laban serched all the tente: but founde them not.


text:
Than sayde she to hyr father: my lord, be not angry that I can not ryse vp before the for the custome of women is come vpon me. So searched he but founde not those ydols.


text:
And Iacob was wrooth, and chode with Laban. Iacob also answered & sayde to hym: what haue I trespaced or what haue I offended, that thou folowedest so after me?


text:
Thou hast searched all my stuffe, & what hast thou founde of all thy housholde stuffe? put it here before thy brethren & myne that they maye iudge betwyxte vs both.


text:
Beholde: Thys .xx. yere haue I bene wyth the, thy shepe & thy goates haue not bene baren, & the rammes of thy flocke haue I not eaten.


text:
Whatsoeuer was torne of beastes I brought it not vnto the, but made it good my selfe: of my hande dydest thou requyre it, euen as it that was stollen by daye or nyght.


text:
Thus haue I bene .xx. yere in thy house, & serued the .xiiii. yeres for thy .ii. doughters, & .vi. yeres for thy shepe, and thou hast chaunged my rewarde .x. tymes.


text:
And excepte the God of my father, the God of Abraham & the feare of Isahac had bene wyth me: surely thou haddest sent me awaye now all emptie. But God behelde my trybulacyon, and the laboure of my handes, and rebuked the yesterdaye.


text:
Laban answered and sayde vnto Iacob: these daughters are my daughters, and these chyldren are my chyldren, and these shepe are my shepe, and all that thou seyst, is myne. And what can I do thys daye vnto these my daughters, or vnto theyr chyldren whych they haue borne?


text:
& Iacob sayde vnto hys brethren: gather stones. And they toke stones, and made an heape, & they did eate there vpon the heape.


text:
If thou shalt vexe my daughters or shalt take other wyues beside my daughters. Here is no man with vs: beholde, God be witnesse betwixte the and me.


text:
And Laban sayde moreouer to Iacob: beholde, thys heape and thys marke whych I haue set there, betwixte me and the:


text:
thys heape be wytnesse and also thys marke that I will not come ouer thys heape to the, and thou shalt not come ouer thys heape and thys marke vnto me: to do any harme.


text:
The God of Abraham, the God of Nahor, & the God of theyr fathers be iudge betwyxte vs. And Iacob sware by the feare of hys father Isahac.


text:
Then Iacob dyd sacrifyce vpon the mounte, & called his brethren to eate breed. And they dyd eate breed & taryed all nyght in the hyll.


text:
And early in the mornynge Laban rose vp and kyssed kys children and hys daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departynge, went vnto hys place agayne.


text:
And when Iacob sawe them, he said thys is Goddes hoost: & called the name of that same place Mahanaim.


text:
And Iacob sente messengers before him to Esau his brother, vnto the land of Seir & the felde of Edom.


text:
And he commaunded them sayinge. Thus shall ye speake to my Lord Esau: thy seruaunte Iacob sayth thus: I haue sogeorned & bene a straunger wyth Laban vnto thys tym


text:
and haue oxen, asses & shepe men seruauntes and wemenseruauntes, and haue sent to shewe it my Lorde, that I may fynde grace in thy syghte.


text:
And the messengers came agayne to Iacob saying: we came vnto thy brother Esau, and he commeth agaynst the & hath .iiii. hundreth men wt hym.


text:
But Iacob was greatly afrayed, and wyst not whych waye to turne hym selfe, and deuyded the people that was wyth hym & the shepe, & oxen & camels, into .ii. companyes:


text:
And Iacob sayde agayne: O God of my father Abraham; & God of my father Isahac: Lorde whych saydest vnto me returne vnto thy countre and to thy kynred, & I wyll do all well wyth the.


text:
I am not worthy of the leaste of all the mercyes and truthe whych thou hast shewed vnto thy seruaunte. For wyth my staf came I ouer thys Iordane, & now haue I gotten .ii. droues.


text:
Delyuer me from the handes of my brother Esau: for I feare hym: lest he wyll come and smyte the mother wyth the chyldren.


text:
Thou saydest: I wyll surely do the good, & make thy seed as the sande of the see, which can not be nombred for multytude.


text:
And he taryed there that same nyghte, & toke of that whych came to hande, a present, for Esau hys brother


text:
and delyuered them into the hande of hys seruaunes euery droue by them selues, and sayde vnto hys seruauntes: go forth before me, and put a space betwyxte, droue, & droue.


text:
And he commaunded the formost sayinge. If Esau my brother mete the and aske the sayinge: whose art thou, and whyther goest thou: & whose are these that goo before the?


text:
thou shalt saye, they be thy seruaunte Iacobs, and it is a present sent vnto my Lord Esau, and beholde, he hym selfe commeth after vs:


text:
And so commaunded he the seconde, and the thyrde, and all that folowed the droues sayinge of thys maner se that ye speake vnto Esau when ye mete hym


text:
and saye moreouer: thy seruaunte Iacob also commeth after vs, for he sayde: I wyll pease his wrath with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I wyll see hym my selfe, yf peraduenture he wyll receaue me to grace:


text:
So went the present before hym and he taryed all that nyght in the company, and rose vp the same nyghte,


text:
and taried behinde hym selfe alone. And there wrastled a man wyth hym vnto the breakynge of the daye.


text:
And when he sawe that he coulde not preuayle against hym, he smote hym vnder the thye, and the senowe of Iacobs thye shranke, as he wrastled wyth hym.


text:
And he sayde: let me goo, for the daye breaketh. Which answered: I wyll not let the goo, excepte thou blesse me.


text:
He sayde: thou shalt be called Iacob nomore, but Israell. For as a prynce hast thou wrastled wyth God: and wyth man, and hast preuayled.


text:
And Iacob asked hym sayinge: tell me thy name. And he sayde, wherfore dost thou so aske after my name? and he blessed hym there.


text:
And Iacob called the name of the place Pheniel, for I haue sene God face to face, & my lyfe is preserued.


text:
And therfore is it that the chyldren of Israell eate not of the senow that shranke in that place of the thye, vnto thys daye: because that he touched the place of Iacobs thye in the senow that shroncke.


text:
Iacob lyftynge vp his eyes, loked, and beholde, Esau came, hauynge with him .iiij. hundred men. And he deuyded the children vnto Lea and vnto Rahel and vnto the .ij. maydens.


text:
And he put the maydens and their chyldren formost, and Lea and hyr chyldren after, and Rahel and Ioseph hyndermost.


text:
And he lyfte vp hys eyes & sawe the wemen, and the chyldren, and sayde: whence hast thou these? And he answered: they are the chyldren whych God hath geuen thy seruaunte.


text:
Lea also with hyr chyldren came & dyd theyr obeysaunce. And last of all came Ioseph & Rahel, & dyd theyr obeysaunce.


text:
And he sayde: what is all the droue whych I mett? He answered: that I maye fynde grace in the syghte of my Lorde.


text:
To whom Iacob answered, oh nay, but yf I haue founde grace in thy syghte, receaue my present of my hande: for I haue sene thy face as though I had sene the face of God: And thou hast had a good wyll towarde me.


text:
Oh take my blessynge that is brought the, for God hath had mercy on me. And I haue ynough. And so he compelled hym, and he toke it.


text:
Iacob answered him: my Lorde, Thou knowest, that the chyldren are tendre, & the ewes & kyne wyth yonge vnder myne hande, which yf men shulde ouerdryue but euen one daye all the shepe wyll dye.


text:
Oh let my Lorde goo before hys seruaunte, and I wyll dryue fayre and softly, accordynge as the catell that goeth before me and the chyldren be able to endure: vntyll I come to my Lorde vnto Seir.


text:
And Esau sayde: let me yet leaue some of my folke with the. And he answered, what neadeth it? let me fynde grace in the syghte of my Lord.


text:
And Iacob toke hys iourney towarde Sucoth, and buylt hym an house, and made boothes for his catell. And therfore is it, that the name of the place is called Sucoth.


text:
And Iacob came to Salem a cytie of Sichem which is in the lande of Canaan, after that he was come from Mesopotamia, and pytched before the cytie,


text:
and bought a parcell of grounde (were he pytched hys tent) of the chyldren of Hemor Sichems father for an hundred peces of money.


text:
Whom whan Sichem the sonne of Hemor the Heuite Lorde of the countrey sawe, he toke her, and laye with her, and forced her:


text:
and hys harte laye vnto Dina the daughter of Iacob. And he loued that damsell and spake kyndly vnto her,


text:
And Iacob hearde that he had defyled Dina hys daughter, hys sonnes beinge with theyr catell in the felde, and he helde hys peace, vntyll they were come.


text:
And whan the sonnes of Iacob commynge out of the felde herde it, it greued them, & they were not a lytle wrooth because he had wrought folye in Israel, in that he had lyen wyth Iacobs daughter, which thinge ought not to be done.


text:
And Hemor commened with them sayinge: the soule of my sonne Sichem longeth for youre daughter: geue her hym to wyfe,


text:
& ye shall dwell wyth vs, and the lande shall be before you, dwell and do youre busynes and haue youre possessyons there in.


text:
And Sichem sayde vnto hyr father and hyr brethren, let me fynde grace in youre eyes, and what soeuer ye apoynte me, that wyll I geue.


text:
Axe frely of me both the dowry and giftes, and I wyll geue accordynge as ye saye vnto me, so that ye geue me the Damsell to wyfe.


text:
But the sonnes of Iacob answered to Sichem & Hemor hys father talkynge amonge them selues deceytefully, because he had defyled Dina theyr syster.


text:
And they sayde vnto them, we can not do thys thynge that we shulde geue oure syster to one that is vncircumcysed, for that were a shame vnto vs.


text:
But in thys wyll we consent vnto you? If ye wylbe as we be and all the men chyldren amonge you be circumcysed,


text:
then wyll we geue oure daughters to you and take youre daughters to vs, and wyll dwell wyth you and be one people.


text:
But and yf ye wyll not harken vnto vs to be circumcysed, than will we take oure daughter & goo oure wayes.


text:
And the yonge man deferde not for to do the thynge, because he had a lust to Iacobs daughter: he was also most sett by of all that were in hys fathers house.


text:
Than Hemor & Sychem hys sonne went vnto the gate of their cytie, and comened with the men of their cytie, sayinge:


text:
these men are vnfayned towarde vs, and dwell in the lande and do their occupacyon therin. And in the lande is rowme ynough for them, we wyll take their daughters to wyues, and geue them oure daughters:


text:
only here in wyll they consent vnto vs for to dwell wyth vs & to be one people: yf all the men chyldren that are amonge vs be circumcysed as they are.


text:
Shall not their goodes and their substance and all theyr catell be oures, only yf we consente vnto them? For they wyll dwell with vs.


text:
And vnto Hemor and Sichem his sonne harkened all that went out at the gate of hys cytie. And all the men chyldren were circumcised whatsoeuer went out at the gates of his cytie.


text:
And it happened the thyrde daye (when it was paynefull to them) .ij. of the sonnes of Iacob Symeon and Leui Dinas brethren, toke ether of them his swerde and went in to the cytie boldly, and slewe all that was male,


text:
and slewe also Hemor and Sichem hys sonne with the edge of the swerde, and toke Dina out of Sichems house, and went their waye.


text:
And the sonnes of Iacob commynge vpon the deed, spoyled the cytie, because they had defyled their syster:


text:
And all their goodes & all their chyldren, and theyr wyues toke they captiue and made hauouck of all that was in the house.


text:
But Iacob sayde to Simeon and Leui: ye haue troubled me and made me styncke before the inhabitours of the lande, before the Canaanyte and the Pherezite. And I beynge fewe in nombre, they shall gather them selues together agaynst me & sley me, and so shall I and my house be destroyed.


text:
And God sayde vnto Iacob, aryse and get the vp to Bethel, and dwell there. And make there an aulter vnto God that apeared vnto the, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.


text:
Than sayde Iacob vnto hys housholde and to all that were wyth hym: put awaye the straunge goddes that are amonge you and be cleane, and chaunge youre garmentes,


text:
for we wyll aryse and goo vp to Bethell and I wyll make an aulter there, vnto God, which herde me in the daye of my tribulacyon, and was with me in the waye which I went.


text:
And they gaue vnto Iacob all the straunge goddes which they had in their hande, and all their earinges which were in their eares, & Iacob hyd them vnder an ooke whych was by Sichem.


text:
And whan they departed, the feare of God fell vpon the cyties that were rounde aboute them. And they dyd not folowe after the sonnes of Iacob.


text:
So came Iacob to Lus which is in the lande of Canaan. The same is Bethell, he & all the people that was with him.


text:
And he buylded there an aulter, and called the place: The God of Bethell, because that God appered vnto hym there, when he fled from the face of his brother.


text:
But Debora Rebeccas norse, dyed, & was buryed beneth Bethell vnder an ooke. And the name of it was called: the ooke of lamentacyon.


text:
and God sayde vnto him: thy name is Iacob. Notwythstondinge thou shalt be no more called Iacob, but Israel shalbe thy name. And he called hys name Israel.


text:
And God sayde vnto him: I am God allmyghtye, growe and multiplye, people and a multitude of people shall sprynge of the, yee and kynges shall come out of thy loynes.


text:
And the lande whych I gaue Abraham and Isahac, will I geue vnto the, and vnto thy seed after the will I geue that lande also:


text:
And Iacob set vp a marke in the place where he talked with hym: euen a marke of stone and powred dryncke offrynge theron, & powred also oyle theron,


text:
And they departed from Bethel, and when he was but a felde bredth from Ephrath, Rahel began to trauell, and in trauelynge she was in parell.


text:
And it happened as she was in paynes of hyr laboure, the mydwyfe sayde vnto her, feare not, for thys sonne is thyne also.


text:
Then as hyr soule was a departynge, that she must dye, she called his name. Ben Oni. But hys father called hym Ben Iamin.


text:
And it chaunced as Israel dwelt in the lande, that Ruben went and laye wyth Bilha hys fathers concubyne, and it came to Israels eare. The sonnes of Iacob were .xij. in nombre.

And Esau toke his wyues and hys sonnes and daughters and all the soules of hys house: hys goodes and all hys cattell and all hys substance whych he had gott in the lande of Canaan, and went into a countre awaye from the face of hys brother Iacob:


text:
for their ryches was moche, and they coulde not dwell together, and the lande where in they were straungers, coulde not receaue them: because of their possession.

text:
These are the generacyons of Iacob. when Ioseph was .xvij. yere olde, he kepte shepe wyth hys brethren, and the lad was with the sonnes of Bilha and with the sonnes of Zilpha his fathers wyues. And he brought vnto their father an euyll sayinge of them.


text:
But Israel loued Ioseph more than all hys chyldren, because he begat him in hys olde age, and he made hym a coote of many coloures.


text:
And when hys brethren sawe that theyr father loued him more than all his brethren, they hated hym & coulde not speke peaceably vnto hym.


text:
Beholde we were byndinge sheues in the felde: & lo, my sheffe arose, and stode vp ryght, and youres stode rounde aboute and made obeysaunce to my sheffe.


text:
To whom hys brethren sayde: shalt thou be oure kynge in dede? or shalt thou in dede haue dominyon ouer vs? And they hated hym yet the more, because of hys dreames, and of his wordes.


text:
And he dreamed yet another dreame and tolde it his brethren sayinge: beholde, I haue had one dreame more: me thought the sonne and the moone & .xj. starres made obeysaunce to me.


text:
And when he had tolde it vnto his father and hys brethren, hys father rebuked him & sayde vnto him: what is thys dreame which thou hast dreamed: shall I & thy mother and thy brethren come to fall on the grounde before the?


text:
and Israel sayde vnto Ioseph: do not thy brethren kepe in Sichem? come, and I wyll sende the to them. He answered here am I.


text:
And he sayde vnto him: goo and see whether it be well with thy brethren and the shepe, and brynge me worde agayne. And so he sent him out of the vale of Hebron and he went to Sichem.


text:
And a certayne man founde hym, and beholde he was wandrynge out of hys waye in the felde, and the man asked him: what sekest thou?


text:
And the man sayde, they are departed hence, for I herde them saye: let vs goo vnto Dothan. Thus went Ioseph after his brethren, and founde them in Dothan.


text:
And when they sawe him a farre of before he came at them, they toke councell agaynst him, for to sley hym.


text:
come nowe therfore and let vs sley hym and cast hym in to some pytt, and we wyll saye a wycked beast hath deuoured hym, and we shall se what wyll come of hys dreames.


text:
And Ruben sayde moreouer vnto them, shede not his bloude, but cast him into thys pytt that is in the wyldernes, and laye no hande vpon him: Namely, that he myght rydd him out of their handes & delyuer him to hys father agayne.


text:
And it happened that whan Ioseph was come vnto hys brethren, they strypte him out of his coot, hys party coloured coote that was vpon hym,


text:
And they satt them downe to eate brede. And as they lyft vp their eyes and loked aboute, there came a companye of Ismaelytes from Gilead, and their camels laden with spicery, baulme, and myrre, and were goynge downe to cary it into Egypte.


text:
And Iuda sayde vnto his brethren: what auayleth it yf we sley oure brother, and kepe hys bloude secrett?


text:
come on and let vs sell hym to the Ismaelytes, and let not oure hande be vpon hym: for he is oure brother and oure fleshe. And hys brethren were content.


text:
Than as the Madianites marchaunt men passed by, they drewe and lyft Ioseph out of the pytt and solde him vnto the Ismaelytes for .xx. peces of syluer. And they brought him into Egypte.


text:
And they sent that partye coloured coote, and brought it vnto their father and sayde: Thys haue we founde: se whether it be thy sonnes coote or no.


text:
And he knewe it sayinge, it is my sonnes coote, a wycked beast hath deuoured hym, Ioseph is rent in peces.


text:
And Iacob rent hys cloothes, and put sacke clothe aboute his loynes, and sorowed for his sonne a longe season.


text:
But all his sonnes and all hys doughters rose vp to comforte him. Neuertheles he wolde not be comforted, but sayde: I wyll go downe into the graue vnto my sonne, mourninge. And thus hys father wepte for hym.


text:
It fortuned at that tyme, that Iudas went downe from his brethren, and gatt hym to a man called Hira of Odollam,


text:
And she conceaued agayne, & bare yet a sonne, whom she called Sela: and he was at Chesyb when she bare him.


text:
And Iudas sayde vnto Onan: goo into thy brothers wyfe and marye her, that thou mayest styrre vp seed vnto thy brother.


text:
And when Onan perceaued that the seed shulde not be his, therfore when he went into his brothers wyfe, he spylled it on the grounde, and gaue not seed vnto hys brother.


text:
Than sayde Iudas to Thamar hys daughter in lawe: remayne a wydowe at thy fathers house, tyll Sela my sonne be growne: for he sayde: Lest peraduenture he dye also, as hys brethren dyd. And Thamar wente and dwelt in her fathers house.


text:
And in processe of tyme, the daughter of Sua Iudas wyfe dyed. Then Iudas when he had left mournynge, went vnto his shepe sherers to Thymnath he and his frende Hira of Odollam.


text:
And she put hyr wydows garmentes of from her & couered her wyth a clooke, and disgysed her selfe: And satt her downe in a comon place which is by the hye wayes syde to Thimnath, for because she sawe that Sela was growne, and she was not geuen vnto him to wyfe.


text:
And he turned to her vnto the waye, & sayde, come I praye the, let me lye with the, for he knewe not that it was hys daughter in lawe. And she answered: what wilt thou gyue me, for to lye with me?


text:
Than sayde he, I wyll sende the a kydd from the flocke. She sayde, Than geue me a pledge tyll thou sende it.


text:
He sayde, what pledge shall I geue the? She answered: thy sygnett, thy bracelet, and thy staffe that is in thy hande. And he gaue it her and lay by her and she was with chylde by hym.


text:
And Iudas sent the kydd by hys frende of Odollam, for to receaue hys pledge agayne from the wyfes hande. But he founde her not,


text:
Than asked he the men of the same place sayinge, where is the whoore that satt openly by the waye syde? They answered, There was no whoore here.


text:
He came therfore to Iuda agayne & sayde vnto him: I can not finde her, and also the men of the place sayde, that there was no whoore there.


text:
And Iuda sayde, let her take it to her, lest we be shamed. Beholde I sente the kydd and thou hast not founde her.


text:
And it came to passe that after .iij. monethes, one tolde Iuda sayinge: Thamar thy daughter in lawe hath played the whoore, and wyth playinge the whoore is become great with chylde. And Iuda sayde, brynge her forth, that she maye be brente.


text:
And when they brought her forth; she sent to her father in lawe sayinge: by the man vnto whome these thynges pertayne, am I with chylde. And sayde also, loke whose are thys seale, bracelet, and thys staffe.


text:
And Iuda knewe them and sayde, she hath bene more ryghtwes than I, because I gaue her not to Sela my sonne. And he laye with her nomore.


text:
It fortuned when tyme was come that she shulde be delyuered, beholde there was .ij. twynnes in hyr wombe.


text:
And it fortuned, that whan she traueled, the one put out hys hande and the mydwyfe toke and bownde a reed threde aboute it sayinge, thys is come out fyrst.


text:
And it chaunced, that he plucked hys hande backe agayne, and beholde hys brother came out. And she sayde, wherfore hast thou rent a rent vpon the? & called his name, Pharez.


text:
Afterwarde came out his brother that had the redd threde about hys hande, and his name was called Zarah.


text:
Ioseph was brought vnto Egypte, and Putiphar a Lorde of Pharaos (& his chefe stewarde an Egyptian) bought him of the Ismaelytes which had brought him thyther.


text:
And God was with Ioseph, & he became a luckye man, continuynge in the house of his master the Egyptian.


text:
And Ioseph founde grace in hys masters syghte, and serued him. And made hym rular of hys house, and put all that he had in his hande.


text:
And it fortuned from the tyme that he had made him rular ouer hys house and ouer all that he had, the Lorde blessed the Egyptyans house for Iosephs sake, and the blessynge of the Lorde was vpon all that he had: in the house, and in the felde.


text:
And therfore he left all that he had in Iosephs hande, and loked vpon nothynge that was wt hym, saue only on the bread whych he dyd eate. And Iosep was a goodly persone & a well fauored.


text:
And it fortuned after thys, that his masters wyfe cast hyr eyes vpon Ioseph and sayde: come lye with me.


text:
But he refused, and sayde to hys masters wyfe: Beholde, my master woteth not what he hath in the house with me, and hath commytted all that he hath to my hande.


text:
There is no man greater in the house than I, Neyther hath he kepte any thynge from me, but only the, because thou art hys wyfe. Howe than can I do this great wyckednes, and synne agaynst God?


text:
And after thys maner spake she to Ioseph daye by daye: but he harkened not vnto her, to slepe nere her, or to be in her company.


text:
And it fortuned on a certayne conuenient daye, that Ioseph entred into the house, to do hys busynes: and there was none of the housholde by, in the house.


text:
And she caught him by the garment sayinge: come slepe with me. And he lefte hys garment in hyr hande and fled, and gott hym out. And it chaunced.


text:
She called vnto the men of hir house, and tolde them, sayinge: Se, he hath brought in an Hebrewe vnto vs to do vs shame: for he came in to me, for to haue slept wyth me. And I begane to crye wyth a lowde voyce.


text:
And when he hearde that I lyfte vp my voyce & cryed, he left hys garment wt me, and fled awaye, and got him out.


text:
And she tolde him with these wordes sayinge: Thys Hebrues seruaunte whych thou hast brought vnto vs, came into me to do me shame.


text:
When his master. hearde the wordes of hys wyfe whych she tolde hym sayinge: after this maner dyd thy seruaunte to me, he waxed wrooth.


text:
And the master toke Ioseph & put hym in pryson euen in to the place where the kynges prysoners laye bounde. And there continued he in preson,


text:
but the Lorde was wyth Ioseph, and shewed hym mercye, and gote hym fauoure in the syghte of the Lorde of the preson.


text:
And the keper of the preson commytted to Iosephs hande all the presoners that were in the preson house. And whatsoeuer was done there, that dyd he.


text:
And the keper of the preson loked vnto nothynge that was vnder his hande, seynge that the Lorde was with him. For whatsoeuer he dyd, the Lorde made it to prosper.


text:
And it chaunced after this, that the butteler of the kynge of Egypte and hys baker had offended their Lorde the kynge of Egypte.


text:
And Pharao was angrye agaynst his two offycers: agaynst the chefe butler & the chefe baker: and put them in warde in hys chefe stewardes house:


text:
And the chefe Stewarde gaue Ioseph a charge with them, & he serued them. And they contynued a season in warde.


text:
And they dreamed ether of them in one nyght: both the butteler and the baker of the kynge of Egypte which were bounde in the preson house, ether of them his dreame, and eache mannes dreame of a sondrye interpretacyon.


text:
When Ioseph came in vnto them in the mornynge, and loked vpon them: beholde, they were sadd. And he asked Pharaos offycers that were with hym in hys masters warde sayinge:


text:
They answered hym: we haue dreamed a dreame, and haue no man to declare it. And Ioseph sayde vnto them: Do not interpretynges belonge to God: yet tell me?


text:
And the chefe butlar tolde his dreame to Ioseph, and sayde vnto him: In my dreame me thought there stode a vyne before me,


text:
and in the vyne were .iij. braunches, and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shott forth: and the grapes there of waxed type.


text:
And I had Pharaos cuppe in my hande and toke of the grapes and wronge them in to Pharaos cuppe, and delyuered Pharaos cuppe in to hys hande.


text:
The thre braunches ar thre dayes: for wythin thre dayes shall Pharao lyft vp thyne heade and restore the vnto thyne offyce agayne, and thou shalt delyuer Pharaos cuppe in to hys hande, after the old maner wherin thou wast wont to geue hym drynke.


text:
But yf thou thynke on me wyth the, when thou art in good case, shewe mercye (I praye the) vnto me. And make mencion of me to Pharao, and brynge me out of thys house:


text:
for I was stollen out of the lande of the Hebrues, and here also haue I done nothynge at all, wherfore they shulde haue put me in to thys dongeon.


text:
When the chefe baker sawe that the interpretacyon was good, he sayde vnto Ioseph: me thought also in my dreame, that I had .iij. wyker baskettes on my heade.


text:
And in the vppermost basket there was of all maner bakemeates for Pharao. And the byrdes dyd eate them out of the basket that was vpon my head.


text:
And Ioseph answered and sayde: thys is the interpretacyon therof. The thre baskettes are thre dayes,


text:
for thys daye thre dayes shall Pharao take thy heade from the, and shall hange the on a tree, and the byrdes shall eate thy fleshe from of the.


text:
And it came to passe the thyrde daye whych was Pharaos byrth daye that he made a feast vnto all hys seruauntes. And he lyfted vp the head of the chefe buttelar and of the chefe baker amonge hys seruauntes.


text:
And restored the chefe buttelar vnto hys buttelarshyppe agayne: whych also reched the cuppe into Pharaos hande,


text:
& .vij. other kyne came vp after them out of the ryuer, euel fauored and leane flesshed, and stode by the other kyne vpon the brynke of the ryuer.


text:
And the euyll fauored and leane flesshed kyne dyd eate vp the seuen well fauored and fatt kyne: and Pharao awoke.


text:
And he slepte agayne and dreamed the seconde tyme. And beholde, seuen eares of corne grewe vpon one stalke, rancke and goodly.


text:
and the seuen thynne eares deuowred the seuen rancke and full eares. And Pharao a waked: and se, it was a dreame.


text:
And when the mornynge came, his sprete was troubled. And he sent and called for all the sothesayers of Egypte, and all the wyse men therof, and Pharao tolde them hys dreame: but there was none of them that coulde interpretate it vnto Pharao.


text:
Pharao beynge angrie wyth hys seruauntes, put in warde in the chefe Stewardes house both me & the chefe baker.


text:
And there was wyth vs a yonge man, an Hebrue borne, seruaunte vnto the chefe Stewarde. To whom whan we tolde them, he declared oure dreames to vs accordynge to ether of oure dreames.


text:
And as he declared them vnto vs, euen so it came to passe. For he restored me to myne offyce agayne, & hanged hym.


text:
Pharao sent therfore and called Ioseph. And they brought hym hastely out of preson. And he shaued hym selfe and chaunged hys rayment, and came in to Pharao.


text:
And Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: I haue sene a dreame, and no man can interpretate it, and I haue hearde saye of the, that as soone as thou hearest a dreame, thou canst interpretate it.


text:
And the seuen other kyne came vp after them, poore and very euell fauored and leane flesshed: such as I neuer sawe in all the lande of Egypte,


text:
they were so euell fauored. And the seuen leane & euell fauored kyne dyd eate vp the fyrst .vii. fatt kyne.


text:
And when they had eaten them vp, a man coulde not perceaue that they had eaten them: but they were still as euell fauored as they were at the begynnynge. And I awoke.


text:
and .vij. other eares agayne, wythered, thynne and blasted with the east wynde, sprange vp after them.


text:
And the thynne eares deuowred the .vij. good eares. And I haue tolde it vnto the soth sayers, but there was no man that coulde tell, what it meaneth.


text:
And Ioseph answered Pharao: both Pharaos dreames are one. And God hath shewed Pharao what he is aboute to do.


text:
The .vij. good kyne are .vij. yeares: and the .vij. good eares are seuen yeares also, and it is but one dreame.


text:
Lykewyse, the .vii. thynne and euell fauored kyne that came out after them, are .vii. yeares: and the .vii. emptye and blasted eares shalbe .vii. yeares of hunger.


text:
And agayne there shall aryse after them .vii. yeares of hunger. And all the plenteousnes shalbe forgoten in the lande of Egypte: And the hunger shall consume the lande:


text:
nether shall the plenteousnes be knowen in the lande. by reason of that hunger that shall come after, for it shalbe exceadinge great.


text:
And as concernynge that the dreame was doubled vnto Pharao the seconde tyme, beholde, the thynge is certaynly prepared of God, & God wyll shortly brynge it to passe.


text:
Nowe therfore, let Pharao prouyde for a man of vnderstondynge and wysdome, and sett hym ouer the lande of Egypte.


text:
And let Pharao do thys also, that he make offycers ouer the lande, and take vp the fyfte parte of the lande of Egypte in the .vii. plenteous yeares,


text:
and let them gather all the foode of these good yeres that come, and lay vp corne vnder the hande of Pharao, that there maye be foode in the cyties,


text:
and there let them kepe it: that there maye be foode in stoore in the lande, agaynst the seuen yeares of hunger whych shall come in the lande of Egypte, that the lande peryshe not thorowe hunger.


text:
Then sayde Pharao vnto hys seruauntes: where shall we fynde soch a man as thys is, in whom is the sprete of God?


text:
And Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: for as moche as God hath shewed the all thys, there is no man of vnderstondynge or of wysdome lyke vnto the.


text:
Thou therfore shalt be ouer my house, and accordynge to thy worde shall all my people be ruled, only in the kynges seate wyll I be aboue the.


text:
And he toke of hys rynge from hys hande, and put it vpon Iosephs hande, and arayed hym in cloth of raynes, and put a golden cheyne aboute hys necke,


text:
and sett hym vpon the best charett that he had, saue one. And they cryed before hym: Bowe the knee, and Pharao made hym ruler ouer all the lande of Egypte.


text:
And Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: I am Pharao, wythout the shall no man lyfte vp hys hande or fote in all the lande of Egypte.


text:
And he called Iosephs name Zaphnath Paena. And he gaue hym to wyfe Asnath the daughter of Putiphar preast of On. Than went Ioseph abrode in the lande of Egypte.


text:
And he was thyrtye yeare olde when he stode before Pharao kynge of Egypte. And Ioseph departynge from the presence of Pharao, went thorowe out all the lande of Egypte.


text:
and gathered vp all the foode of the seuen plenteous yeares which were in the lande of Egypte, and layed vp the same in the cyties. The foode of the feldes that grewe rownde aboute euery cyte, layed he vp in the same.


text:
And Ioseph layde vp corne in stoore, lyke vnto the sande of the see, in multitude out of mesure, vntyll he left nombrynge: For it was wythout nombre.


text:
And vnto Ioseph were borne two sonnes (before the yeares of hunger came) whych Asnath the daughter of Putiphar preast of On, bare vnto hym.


text:
And Ioseph called the name of the fyrst sonne Manasse, for God (sayde he) hath made me forgett all my laboure and all my fathers housholde.


text:
The name of the seconde called he Ephraim, for God (sayd he) hath caused me to growe in the lande of my trouble.


text:
then came the seuen yeares of derth accordyng as Ioseph had sayde. And the derth was in all landes: but in all the lande of Egypte was there yet foode.


text:
And when the lande of Egypt also began to hunger, the people cryed to Pharao for bread. And Pharao sayde vnto all the Egypcyans, goo vnto Ioseph, and what he sayth to you, that doo.


text:
And the derth was thorow out all the land. And Ioseph opened all that was in the cyties, and solde vnto the Egypcyans. For the hunger waxed sore in the lande of Egypte.


text:
And all countrees came to Egypte to Ioseph for to bye corne: because that the hunger was so sore in all landes.


text:
And Iacob seynge that there was corne in Egypt, sayde vnto hys sonnes: why gape ye one vpon another?


text:
And he sayd: beholde, I haue hearde that there is corne in Egypte. Gete you downe thyther & bye vs corne from thence, that we maye lyue & not dye.


text:
But BenIamin Iosephs brother wolde not Iacob sende with his other brethren, for he sayd: lest some mysfortune happen hym:


text:
And the sonnes of Israel came to bye corne amonge other that came, for there was derth in the lande of Canaan.


text:
And Ioseph was gouerner in the lande, and solde to all the people of the lande. And hys brethren came, and fel flat on the grounde before hym.


text:
When Ioseph sawe hys brethren, he knewe them: and made hym selfe straunge vnto them, and spake roughly vnto them, sayinge: Whence come ye? They answered: out of the lande of Canaan, to bye vytayle.


text:
And Ioseph remembred his dreames which he dreamed of them, and sayd vnto them: ye are spies, and to se where the lande is weake is youre comynge.


text:
And they sayde: we thy seruauntes are .xii. brethren, the sonnes of one man in the lande of Canaan. And beholde, the yongest is thys daye wyth oure father, and one, no man woteth where he is.


text:
Here by ye shall be proued. By the lyfe of Pharao, ye shall not goo hence, excepte youre yongest brother come hyther.


text:
Sende out one of you whych maye fett youre brother, & ye shalbe kepte in presone, that youre wordes maye be proued, whether there be any trueth in you: or els by the lyfe of Pharao, ye are but spies.


text:
If ye meane no hurte, let one of youre brethren be bounde in the house of youre preson, and goo ye brynge the necessarye foode vnto youre housholdes,


text:
but brynge youre yongest brother vnto me: that your wordes maye be tryed, and that ye dye not. And they dyd so.


text:
And one sayde to another: we haue verely synned agaynst oure brother, in that we sawe the anguysh of hys soull when he besought vs, & we wolde nat heare him: and therfore is thys troubyll come vpon vs.


text:
And Ruben answered them sayinge: sayde I not vnto you that ye shulde not synne agaynst the lad? and ye wolde not heare. And see, hys bloude is requyred.


text:
And he turned from them & wepte and turned to them agayne, and comened with them, & toke out Symeon from amonge them, and bownde hym before theyr eyes,


text:
and Ioseph commaunded to fyll theyr sackes wyth corne, and to put euery mans money in hys sacke, and to geue them vytayle to spende by the waye. And thus dyd he vnto them.


text:
And as one of them opened hys sacke, for to geue hys asse prauender in the Inne, he spyed hys money: for it was in hys sackes mouth.


text:
And he sayde vnto hys brethren: my money is restored me agayne: For lo, it is euen in my sacke. And theyr harte fayled them, and they were astonyed, and sayde one to another: why hath God dealt thus wyth us?


text:
And they came vnto Iacob theyr father vnto the lande of Canaan and tolde hym all that had happened them, sayinge:


text:
We be .xii. brethren, sonnes of oure father, one is a waye, and the yongest is thys daye wyth oure father in the lande of Canaan.


text:
And the Lorde of the countre sayde agayne vnto vs: here by shall I knowe yf ye meane truly: leaue one of youre brethren here with me, and take foode necessary for youre housholdes and get you awaye,


text:
& brynge youre yongest brother vnto me, that I maye knowe that ye are no spyes, but meane truely: So wyll I delyuer you youre brother, & ye shall occupye in the lande.


text:
And it fortuned as they emptyed theyr sackes, beholde: euery mans bundell of money was in his sacke. And when both they & their father sawe the bundells of money, they were afrayde.


text:
And Iacob theyr father sayde vnto them: Me haue ye robbed of my chyldren: Ioseph is a waye, and Symeon is awaye, and ye take Ben Iamin awaye. All these thynges are agaynst me.


text:
Ruben sayde vnto hys father: Slee my two sonnes, yf I brynge hym not to the agayne. Delyuer hym to my hande, and I wyll brynge hym to the agayne:


text:
And he sayde: my sonne shall not go downe wyth you. For hys brother is dead, & he is left alone. If some mysfortune happen vnto him by the waye which ye go, ye shall brynge my gray head with sorowe vnto the graue.


text:
And it fortuned when they had eaten vp the corne whych they brought out of the lande of Egypt theyr father sayde vnto them: goo agayne, & by vs a lytle food.


text:
Iuda answered hym, and sayde: the man dyd testifye vnto vs, sayinge: loke that ye see not my face, excepte youre brother be wyth you.


text:
But yf thou wylt not sende hym, we wyll not goo downe: for the man sayde vnto vs: loke that ye see not my face, excepte youre brother be wyth you.


text:
And Israel sayde: wherfore delt ye so cruelly wyth me, as to tell the man that ye had yet a brother?


text:
They answered: The man asked vs straytly of oure kynred sayinge, is youre father yet alyue? haue ye not another brother? And we tolde hym accordynge to these wordes. Cowld we knowe that he wolde saye: brynge your brother downe with you?


text:
Than sayde Iuda vnto Israel hys father: Sende the lade with me, that we maye ryse & goo, & that we maye lyue & not dye: both we, thou & also oure children.


text:
I wylbe suertye for hym, of my handes shalt thou requyre hym. If I brynge hym not to the agayne, & set him before thyne eyes, than let me bere the blame for euer.


text:
And theyr father Israel sayde vnto them: If it must nedis be so nowe: than do thus. Take of the best frutes of the lande in youre vesselles, and brynge the man a present, a curtesye bawlme, and a curtesye of hony, spyces and myrre, notts & almondes.


text:
And take double money in youre hande. And the money that was brought agayne in youre sackes, take it agayne wyth you, lest peraduenture it was some ouersyghte.


text:
And God almyghtye geue you mercye in the syghte of the man, that he maye delyuer you youre other brother, & this BenIamin, and I shalbe robbed of my chylde, as I haue bene.


text:
Thus toke they the present and twyse so moch more money in theyr hande with BenIamin. And rose vp, went downe to Egypte, and stode before Ioseph.


text:
When Ioseph sawe BenIamin wyth them, he sayde to the rular of hys house: brynge these men home, and sley and make redye: for these men shall dyne wt me at noone.


text:
When the men were brought into Iosephs house, they were afrayde, and sayde: because of the money that came in oure sackes mouthes at the fyrst tyme, are we brought in, that he maye pycke a quarell wt vs, & to laye some thynge to oure charge, and to brynge vs in bondage and oure asses also.


text:
Therfore came they to the man that was the rular ouer Iosephs house, & commened with hym at the doore of the house,


text:
& as we came to an inne, it happened that we opened oure sackes: and beholde, euery mannes money was in hys sacke wyth full weyghte: And we haue brought it agayne in oure hande,


text:
and other mony haue we brought also in oure handes, to bye foode, but we cannot tell who put oure money in oure sackes.


text:
And he sayde: peace be vnto you, feare not: youre God and the God of youre father hath geuen you that treasure in youre sackes, I had youre money. And he brought Simeon out to them,


text:
and the man led them into Iosephs house, and gaue them water to washe theyr fete, & gaue theyr asses prauender:


text:
And they made redye theyr present agaynst Ioseph came at none, for they herde saye that they shulde eate bred there.


text:
When Ioseph came home, they brought the present into the house to him, whych was in their handes, & fell flat on the grounde before hym.


text:
And he welcomed them courteously sayinge: is youre father that old man whych ye tolde me of, in good health? and is he yet alyue?


text:
they answered: thy seruaunte oure father is in good health, and is yet alyue. And they bowed downe theyr heades, and made obaysaunce.


text:
And he lyftinge vp his eyes, behelde his brother BenIamin his mothers sonne, and sayde: is this youre yonger brother of whome ye sayde vnto me? And he sayde: God be mercyfull vnto the my sonne.


text:
And Ioseph made hast (for hys hert dyd melt vpon his brother) & sought where to wepe, and entred into his chambre, & wepte there.


text:
And they prepared for hym by him selfe, and for them by them selues, & for the Egypcians which dyd eate with him by them selues, because the Egypcians maye not eate bread with the Hebrues, for that is an abhomynacyon vnto the Egypcyans.


text:
And they satt before hym: the eldest accordynge vnto hys age, & the yongest accordynge vnto hys youth. And the men merueled amonge them selues.


text:
And they broughte rewardes vnto them from before hym: but Ben Iamins parte was fyue tymes so moch as any of theyrs And they drynkynge were dronke with hym.


text:
And he commaunded the ruler of his house sayinge: fyll the mens sackes wt foode, as moch as they can carye,


text:
and put euery mans money in his sacke mouth, and put my syluer cupin the sackes mouth of the yongest, and hys corne money also. And he dyd accordinge to the worde that Ioseph had sayde.


text:
And when they were out of the cytie and not yet farre awaye, Ioseph sayde vnto the ruelar of hys house: vp and folowe after the men, and whan thou dost ouertake them, thou shalt saye vnto them: wherfore haue ye rewarded euell for good?


text:
is that not the cuppe in the which my Lord drynketh, and for the which he prophecyeth? ye haue euell done that ye haue done.


text:
And they answered hym: wherfore sayeth my Lord soch wordes? God forbydd that thy seruauntes shulde doo so:


text:
Beholde, the money which we founde in oure sackes mouthes, we brought agayne vnto the, out of the lande of Canaan: howe then shulde we steale out of thy Lordes house, ether syluer or golde?


text:
And he sayde: Nowe also let it be accordynge vnto youre woordes: he with whom it is founde, shalbe my seruaunte: and ye shalbe harmelesse.


text:
And he serched, and began at the eldest and left at the yongest. And the cuppe was founde in Ben Iamins sacke.


text:
And Iuda and hys brethren came to Iosephs house for he was yet there, and they fell before him on the grounde.


text:
And Ioseph sayd vnto them: what dede is this which ye haue done? wote ye not that soche a man as I can prophesye?


text:
Then sayde Iuda: what shall we saye vnto my Lorde? what shall we speake, or what excuse can we make? God hath founde out the wykednesse of thy seruauntes. Beholde, both we & he with whom the cuppe is founde, are my Lordes seruauntes.


text:
And he answered. God forbyd that I shulde do so, but the man with whom the cuppe is founde, he shalbe my seruaunte. And go ye in peace vnto youre father.


text:
Then Iuda went vnto hym and sayde: oh my Lorde, let thy seruaunte speake a worde in my Lordes eares, and be not wrooth wyth thy seruaunte: for thou art euen as Pharao.


text:
And we answered my Lorde we haue a father that is olde, and a yonge lad which he begat in hys age: and the brother of the sayde lad is dead, and he is all that is left of that mother. And hys father loueth hym.


text:
And we answered my Lorde, that the lad coulde not goo from his father, for yf he shulde leaue his father, he were but deed.


text:
Than saydest thou vnto thy seruauntes excepte your youngest brother come with you, loke that ye se my face no moare.


text:
And we answered: we cannot goo downe. Neuerthelesse: yf oure yongeste brother go wt vs, then wyll we go downe, for we maye not see the mannes face, excepte oure youngest brother be wt vs.


text:
And the one went out from me, and I sayde: of suertye he is torne in peaces, and I sawe hym not sence.


text:
And ye take this also awaye from me. If some mysfortune happen vpon him, ye shall brynge my gray heed in sorowe vnto the graue.


text:
Nowe therfore, when I come to thy seruaunt my father, and the lad be not with vs (seynge that his lyfe hangeth by the laddes lyfe)


text:
then shall it come to passe, that as soone as he seeth that the lad is not come, he wyll dye. So shall we thy seruauntes bringe the gray hedde of thy seruaunt our father with sorowe vnto the graue.


text:
For I thy seruaunt became suertye for the lad before my father and sayde: yf I bringe him not vnto the agayne, I wyll bere the blame vnto my father all my lyfe longe.


text:
Nowe therfore let me thy seruaunt byde here for the lad, and be my Lordes bondman: and let the lad goo vp wt his brethren.


text:
For howe can I goo vp to my father, yf the lad be not with me? onlesse I wolde see the wretchednes that shall come on my father.


text:
Ioseph coulde no longer refrayne before all them that stode by hym. Wherfore he cryed: brynge furth all the men fro me. And there remayned no man wyth him, whyle Ioseph vttred hym selfe vnto hys brethren.


text:
And Ioseph sayde vnto hys brethren: I am Ioseph, doth my father yet lyue? And hys brethren coulde not answere hym, they were so abasshed at hys presence.


text:
And Ioseph sayde vnto his brethren: come nere to me, and they came nere. And he sayde: I am Ioseph youre brother whom ye solde in to Egypte.


text:
Nowe therfore be not greued ther wyth, nether let it seme a cruel thynge in your eyes, that ye solde me hyther. For God dyd send me before you to saue lyfe.


text:
For thys is the seconde yeare of derth in the lande, and fyue moo are behynde, in whych there shall nether be earynge nor heruest.


text:
Wherfore God sent me before you to make prouisyon, that ye myghte contynue in the erth, and to saue youre lyues by a greate delyueraunce.


text:
So nowe it was not ye that sent me hyther, but God: which hath made me a father vnto Pharao & Lorde of all hys house, & ruler thorowe out all the lande of Egypte.


text:
Hast you, and goo vp to my father and tell him. This sayeth thy sonne Ioseph: God hath made me Lorde of all Egypte. Come downe therfore vnto me, tarye not.


text:
And thou shalt dwell in the lande of Gosan and be by me: thou and thy chyldren, and thy chyldrens chyldren: thy shepe, and thy beestes, & all that thou hast.


text:
And there wyll I make prouisyon for the, for there remayne yet .v. yeares of derth, lest thou & thy houshold and all that thou hast come to pouertye.


text:
And beholde, youre eyes do se, & the eyes also of my brother Ben Iamin, that myne awne mouth speaketh to you.


text:
Therfore tell my father of all my honoure in Egypt and of all that ye haue sene, and make hast and brynge my father hyther.


text:
Moreouer he kyssed all hys brethren and wepte vpon them. And after that, hys brethren talked wyth hym.


text:
And the tydynges came vnto Pharaos house, so that they sayde: Iosephs brethren are come, & it pleased Pharao well and all hys seruauntes.


text:
And Pharao spake vnto Ioseph: saye vnto thy brethren, this do ye: lade your beestes and get you hence, vnto the lande of Canaan,


text:
Take youre father, and your housholdes and come vnto me, and I wyll geue you the good of the lande of Egypte, and ye shall eate the fatt of the lande.


text:
And thou also shalt commaunde them. Thys do ye: take charettes wyth you out of the lande of Egypte, for youre chyldren and for youre wyues: and brynge your father, and come.


text:
And the chyldren of Israel dyd euen so, And Ioseph gaue them charettes according to the commaundement of Pharao, and gaue them vytayle also to spende by the waye.


text:
And he gaue vnto eche of them chaunge of rayment: but vnto Ben Iamin he gaue .iij. hundred peces of syluer and .v. chaunge of rayment.


text:
And vnto hys father he sent after the same maner .x. asses laden wyth good, out of Egypt, and .x. she asses laden wyth corne, bred and meate: for hys father by the waye.


text:
So sent he hys brethren awaye to departe: And he sayde vnto them: se that ye fall not out by the waye.


text:
They departed therfore from Egypt and came in to the lande of Canaan vnto Iacob theyr father, and tolde hym sayinge:


text:
Ioseph is yet alyue, & is gouerner ouer all the lande of Egypte. And Iacobs hert wauered, for he beleued them not.


text:
And they tolde hym all the wordes of Ioseph, whych he had sayde vnto them. And when he sawe the charettes whych Ioseph had sent to carye hym, the sprete of Iacob theyr father reuyued.


text:
And Israel sayde: I haue ynough that Ioseph my sonne is yet alyue: I wyll goo, and se hym, yer that I dye.


text:
Israel toke hys iourney wt all that he had, and came vnto Beer Seba & offred offringes vnto the God of his father Isahac.


text:
And he sayde: I am God, the God of thy father, fere not to goo downe into Egypt. For I wyll there make of the a great people.


text:
I will goo downe with the into Egypt, & I will also bringe the agayne, and Ioseph shall put hys hande vpon thyne eyes.


text:
And Iacob rose vp from Beer Seba. And the sonnes of Israel caryed Iacob theyr father, and their chyldren & theyr wyues in the charettes whych Pharao had sent to carye him.


text:
And they toke theyr catell and the goodes which they had gotten in the lande of Canaan, & came in to Egypte: both Iacob & all hys seed with hym,


text:
hys sonnes & hys sonnes sonnes with hym, his daughters and hys sonnes daughters and all hys seed brought he with hym in to Egypte.

text:
And Ioseph sayde vnto hys brethren, and vnto hys fathers house: I wyll goo vp and shewe Pharao & tell hym: My brethren and my fathers house which were in the lande of Canaan, are come vnto me,


text:
and they are shepherdes (for they were men of catell) & they haue brought theyr shepe and theyr oxen and all that they haue.


text:
ye shall answere: thy seruauntes haue bene men occupyed aboute catell, from our chyldhode vnto thys tyme, we and oure fathers, that ye maye dwell in the lande of Gosan. For euery shepe keper is abhominacyon vnto the Egypcyans.


text:
Ioseph came therfore and tolde Pharao and sayde: my father and my brethren, theyr shepe and their oxen and all that they haue, are come out of the lande of Canaan,


text:
and beholde, they are in the lande of Gosan. And Ioseph toke of the hynmost of hys brethren: euen fyue men, and presented them vnto Pharao.


text:
And pharao sayde vnto hys brethren: what is youre occupacyon? And they answered Pharao: shepherdes are thy seruauntes, both we & also oure fathers.


text:
They sayde moreouer vnto Pharao: for to sogeorne in the lande are we come, for thy seruauntes haue no pasture for theyr shepe, so sore is the fameshment in the lande of Canaan. Nowe therfore let thy seruauntes dwell in the lande of Gosan.


text:
The land of Egypte is before the: In the best place of the lande make both thy father and thy brethren dwell: euen in the lande of Gosan let them dwell. Moreouer yf thou knowe any men of actiuite amonge them, make them ruelars ouer my catell.

text:
And Ioseph prepared dwellynges for hys father and hys brethren, and gaue them possessyons in the land of Egypte, in the best of the lande: euen in the lande of Rameses, as Pharao had commaunded.


text:
And Ioseph made prouisyon for hys father, hys brethren & all his fathers housholde wyth bread, euen as yonge chyldren are fedd.


text:
There was no bread in all the lande, for the derth was exceadynge sore: so that the lande of Egypte and the lande of Canaan, were fameshed by the reason of the derth.


text:
And Ioseph brought together all the money that was founde in the lande of Egypte and of Canaan, for the corne whych they boughte: and he layde vp the money in Pharaos house.


text:
When money fayled in the lande of Egypte & of Canaan, all the Egypcyans came vnto Ioseph and sayde: geue vs bred: wherfore suffrest thou vs to dye before the whan oure money is spent?


text:
And they brought theyr catell vnto Ioseph. And Ioseph gaue them bread for horses & shepe, and oxen, and asses, and fed them wyth bread for all theyr catell that yeare.

But when that yeare was ended, they came vnto hym the nexte yeare, & sayde vnto him: we will not hyde it from my Lord how that oure money is spent, my Lord also had our catell & beastes, neyther is there ought left in the syght of my Lorde, but euen oure bodies and our landes.

Wherfore lettest thou vs dye before thyne eyes, & the lande to goo to noughte? by vs & our landes for bread: & both we and oure landes will be bonde to Pharao. Onely geue vs seed, that we maye lyue and not dye, & that the lande goo nat to wast.


text:
And so Ioseph boughte all the land of Egypte for Pharao. For the Egypcians solde euery man hys lande because the derth was sore vpon them: & so the lande became Pharaos.


text:
only the lande of the Prestes bought he not. For the prestes had an ordinaunce of Pharao, that they shulde eate that which was appoynted vnto them: which Pharao had geuen them wherfore they solde not theyr landes.

Then Ioseph sayde vnto the folke: beholde I haue boughte you thys daye & youre lande for Pharao. Take there bread & sede & sowe the land.

For hys sonnes caryed him in to the lande of Canaan, and buryed him in the double caue of the felde: which caue Abraham boughte, and the felde also, to be a place to burye in, of Ephron the Hethite before Mamre.

text:
And when Iosephs brethren sawe that their father was dead, they sayde: Ioseph myghte fortune to hate vs & rewarde vs agayne all the euell which we dyd vnto him.


text:
Thys wyse shall ye saye vnto Ioseph, forgeue (I praye the) the trespace of thy brethren, and theyr synne: for they rewarded that euell. And nowe (we praye the) forgeue the trespace of the seruauntes of thy fathers God. And Ioseph wept, when they spake vnto hym.

text:
And he sayde vnto his folke: beholde, the people of the chyldren of Israel are greater and myghtyer than we.


text:
Come on, let vs playe wisely wyth them, lest they multiplye, & lest it happen, that (yf there chaunce any warre) they ioyne them selues vnto oure enemyes and fyghte agaynst vs, and so gete them out of the lande.

Therfore dyd they sette taskmasters ouer them, to kepe them vnder wt burthens. And they bylte vnto Pharao treasure cities: Phiton and Rameses.


text:
But the more they vexed them, the moare they multiplyed and grewe, so that they abhorred the chyldren of Israel.

And the kynge of Egypte sayde vnto the mydwiues of the Hebrues women, of which the ones name was Sephora and the other Phua:

Not withstondynge the mydwiues feared God and dyd not as the kynge of Egypte commaunded them: but saued the men chyldren.


text:
And the kynge of Egypte called for the mydwiues and sayde vnto them: why haue ye delt on thys maner, and haue saued the menchyldren?


text:
And the mydwiues answered Pharao, that the Hebrues wemen are not as the wemen of Egypte: for they are sturdie women, and are delyuered yer the midwyues come at them.


text:
And Pharao charged all hys people, sayinge: All the menchyldren that are borne, cast into the ryuer, and saue the maydechyldren alyue.

And the wyfe conceaued and bare a sonne. And when she sawe that it was a proper chylde she hyd hym thre monethes.

And when she coulde no longer hyde hym, she toke a basket of bulrusshes and dawbed it with slyme and pytche, and layde the chylde therin, and put it in the flagges by the ryuers brynke.


text:
And the daughter of Pharao came doune to washe herselfe in the ryuer, and hyr maydens walked alonge by the ryuers syde. And when the sawe the basket amonge the flagges, she sent hyr mayde to fetch it.


text:
And when she had opened it, she sawe it was a chylde: and beholde, the babe wepte. And she had compassyon on it, and sayde: it is one of the Hebrues chyldren.


text:
Then sayde hys syster vnto Pharaos daughter: shall I go and call vnto the a nurse of the Hebrues wemen, to nurse the, the chylde?


text:
To whom Pharaos daughter sayde: Take thys chylde a waye, and nurse it for me, I wyll rewarde the. And the woman toke the chylde, and nursed it vp.


text:
The chylde grewe, & she brought it vnto Pharaos daughter, & it was made hyr sonne, & she called the name of it Moses, because (sayde she) I toke him out of the water.


text:
And it happened in those dayes, when Moses was waxed great, that he went out vnto his brethren and loked on their burdens, & spied an Egyptian smytynge an Hebrue whych was one of hys brethren.


text:
And he loked rounde aboute, and when he sawe no man by, he slewe the Egyptian, and hyd him in the sonde.


text:
And whan he was gone out another daye: beholde two Hebrues stroue to gether. And he sayde vnto hym that dyd the wronge: wherfore smytest thou thy felowe?


text:
He answered: who made the a man of auctoryte to iudge vs? Speakest thou to kyll me, as thou kylledst the Egyptian? And Moses feared & sayde: of a suertie thys thynge is knowne:


text:
And Pharao herde of it, and went aboute to slee Moses: And Moses flyenge from the face of Pharao, dwelt in the lande of Midian, and he sat doune by a welles syde.


text:
The preast of Midian had .vij. daughters which came and drewe water, and fylled the troughes, for to water their fathers shepe.


text:
And the shepardes came & droue them awaye: but Moses stode vp and helped them, and watered their shepe:

And when they came to Raguel their father, he sayde: howe happeneth it that ye are come so soone to daye?


text:
And they answered: a man of Egypte delyuered vs from the hande of the shepardes, and so drewe vs water, & watered the shepe.


text:
He sayde vnto hys daughters. And wher is he? why haue ye so lefte the man? Call hym that he maye eate bread.


text:
which whan she bare a sonne. called him Gerson: for he sayde: I haue bene a straunger in a straunge lande.


text:
And it chaunced in processe of tyme, that the kynge of Egypte dyed, and the chyldren of Israel syghed by the reason of bondage, and cryed.


text:
And their complaynt came vp vnto God from the bondage: and God hearde their mone. And God remembred hys promyse with Abraham, Isaac and Iacob.


text:
Moses kepte the shepe of Iethro hys father in lawe, preest of Midian, and he droue the flocke to the backesyde of the desert, and came to the mountayne of God, Horeb.


text:
And the angell of the Lorde appeared vnto him in a flame of fyre out of the myddes of a bush. And he loked, & beholde, the bush burned wt fyre, and the bush was not consumed.


text:
Therfore Moses sayde: I wyll goo nowe, and see thys greate syght, howe it cometh that the bushe burneth not.


text:
And when the Lorde sawe that he came for to see, God called vnto him out of the myddes of the bushe, and sayde: Moses, Moses. He answered: here am I.


text:
And he sayde: come not hyther, put thy shooes of thy fete: for the place where on thou stondest is holy grounde.


text:
And he sayde I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isahac & the God of Iacob And Moses hyd his face, for he was afrayed to loke vpon God.


text:
And the Lorde sayde: I haue surely sene the trouble of my people whych are in Egypte, and haue herde theyr crye from the face of their taskemasters. For I knowe their sorowes,


text:
and am come downe to delyuer them out of the hande of the Egyptians, and to brynge them out of that lande vnto a good lande and a large: and vnto a lande that floweth wyth mylcke and hony: euen vnto the place of the Cananites and Hethites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Heuites, and of the Iebusites.


text:
Nowe therfore, the complaynt of the chyldren of Israel is come vnto me, and I haue also sene the oppressyon wherwith the Egyptians oppresse them.


text:
Come thou therfore, and I wyll sende the vnto Pharao, that thou mayest brynge my people the chyldren of Israel out of Egypte.


text:
And Moses sayde vnto God: what am I to goo vnto Pharao, and to brynge the chyldren of Israel out of Egypte?


text:
And he answered: I wyll be wyth the. And thys shalbe a token vnto the that I haue sent the: after that thou hast brought the people out of Egypte, ye shall serue God vpon thys mountayne.


text:
And Moses sayde vnto God: beholde, when I come vnto the chyldren of Israel, I shall saye vnto them: the God of youre fathers hath sent me vnto you, and yf they saye vnto me, what is hys name, what answere shall I geue them?


text:
And God answered Moses: I am that I am: and he sayde: thys shalt thou saye vnto the chyldren of Israel. I am hath sent me vnto you.


text:
And God spake further vnto Moses: thus shalt thou saye vnto the chyldren of Israel the Lorde God of youre fathers, the God of Abraham the God of Isahac, and the God of Iacob hath sent me vnto you: thys is my name for euer, and thys is my memoryall into generacyon and generacyon.


text:
Goo and gather the elders of Israel to gether, and thou shalt saye vnto them: the Lorde God of youre fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isahac, and the God of Iacob apeared vnto me, and sayde: In visitynge haue I visited you, and knowe that which is done to you in Egypte


text:
And I haue sayde, I wyll brynge you out of the tribulacyon of Egypte vnto the lande of the Canauytes, and Hethites, and Amorytes, and Pherezytes, and Heuytes, and Iebusytes: euen vnto a lande that floweth wyth mylcke and hony.


text:
And whan they heare thy voyce then goo, both thou and the elders of Israel shall go vnto the kynge of Egypte, and saye vnto him: The Lorde God of the Hebrues hath met wyth vs: and nowe wyll we go therfore .iij. dayes iourney into the wyldernesse, and do sacrifyce vnto the Lorde oure God.


text:
and I wyll stretche out myne hande and smyte Egypte wyth all my wonders which I will do in the myddes therof. And after that he wyll let you goo.


text:
And I wyll gett thys people fauoure in that syghte of the Egyptians: so that when ye goo, ye shall not goo emptie:


text:
but a wyfe shall borow of hir neyghbouresse & of her that soieorneth in hir house, iewels of syluer and of Gold and rayment. And ye shall put them on youre sonnes and daughters, & shall robbe the Egyptians.


text:
Moses answered and sayde: Se, they wyll not beleue me nor herken vnto my voyce: but will saye the Lorde hath not apeared vnto the.


text:
And he sayde: cast it on the grounde. And he cast it on the grounde, and it became a serpent. And Moses fled from the syght of it.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: put forth thyne hande and take it by the tayle. And therfore he put forth hys hande & caught it, and it became a rodd in his hande.


text:
For thys thinge (sayeth he) shall they beleue the, that the Lorde God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isahac & the God of Iacob hath apeared vnto the.


text:
And the Lorde sayde forthermore vnto hym: thrust thyne hande in to thy bosome. And he thrust hys hande in to hys bosome. And whan he toke it out agayne, beholde, his hande was leperous euen as snowe.


text:
And he sayde: put thyne hande in to thy bosome agayne. And he put hys hande into his bosome agayne, and plucked it out of hys bosome, & beholde, it was turned agayne as hys other flesshe.


text:
Therfore yf they wyll not beleue the nether heare the voyce of the fyrst token, yet wyll they beleue for the voyce of the seconde token.


text:
But and yf they wyll not beleue the two signes, nether herken vnto thy voyce, thou shalt take of the water of the ryuer, & powrest vpon the drye lande. And the water which thou takest out of the ryuer, shall turne to bloude vpon the drye lande.


text:
Moses sayde vnto the Lorde: oh my Lorde, I am not eloquent from yester daye & yeryesterdaye, & namely sence thou hast spoken vnto thy seruaunte: but I am slowe mouthed and slowe tonged.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto hym: who hath made mans mouth, or who hath made the domme or the deaff, the seynge or the blynde? haue not I the Lorde?


text:
And the Lorde was angrye with Moses, & sayde: do not I knowe Aaron thy brother the leuyte, that he can speake? For lo, he commeth furth to mete the, & when he seyth the, he wylbe glad in his herte.


text:
Therfore thou shalt speake vnto hym, and put these wordes in hys mouth, and I wylbe with thy mouth and wyth hys mouth, and wyll teache you what ye ought to do.


text:
Therfore Moses went and returned to Iethro hys father in lawe agayne, & sayde vnto him: I wyll go nowe, and turne agayne vnto my brethren whych are in Egypte, and se whether they be yet alyue. And Iethro sayde to Moses, goo in peace.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses in Midian: goo, and returne agayne in to Egypte for they are dead which went aboute to kyll the.


text:
And Moses toke hys wyfe, and his sonnes, & put them on an asse, and went agayne to Egypte, & Moses toke the rodd of God in his hande.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: when thou art entred & come into Egypte agayne, se that thou doo all the wondres before Pharao which I haue put in thy hande: but I wyll holde hys herte, and he shall not let the people goo.


text:
and I haue sayde vnto the that thou shuldest let my sonne goo, that he maye serue me. And thou woldest not let hym goo: beholde, I wyll slee thyne eldest sonne.


text:
And Zephora toke a stone, & cut awaye the foreskyne of hyr sone, & fell at his fete, & sayde: a bloudyhusbande art thou vnto me.


text:
Then sayde the Lorde vnto Aaron: go mete Moses in the wildernesse. And he went and met hym in the mount of God, and kyssed him.


text:
And Moses tolde Aaron all the wordes of the Lorde which had sent him, and all the tokens which he had charged him withall.


text:
And Aaron tolde all the wordes whych the Lorde had spoken vnto Moses, and dyd the myracles in the syght of the people,


text:
and the people beleued. And when they herde that the Lorde had visited the chyldren of Israel and had loked vpon their tribulacyon, they bowed their head, and worshypped.


text:
Moses & Aaron went in after warde, and tolde Pharao, thus sayeth the Lorde God of Israel: Let my people goo, that they maye kepe holye daye vnto me in the wildernesse.


text:
I knowe not the Lorde, nether will I let Israel goo. And they sayde: the God of the Hebrews hath mett with vs: and therfore wyll we go .iij. dayes iourney into the deserte, and sacrifyce vnto the Lorde oure God: lest there happen vnto vs ether pestylence or swerde.


text:
Then sayde the kynge of Egypte vnto them: wherfore do ye, Moses and Aaron let the people from their worke, get you vnto your laboure.


text:
And Pharao sayde furthermore: beholde, there is moche people nowe in the lande, and ye make them leaue their worke.


text:
And Pharao commaunded the same daye vnto the taskemasters which were amonge the people, and vnto the offycers, sayinge:


text:
ye shall geue the people no more strawe, to make brycke wyth all, (as ye dyd in tyme passed.) let them goo and gather them strawe them selues


text:
and the nombre of brycke whyche they were wont to make in tyme passed, laye vnto their charges also, and mynysh nothynge therof. For they be ydell and therfore crye sayinge: we wyll goo & do sacrifyce vnto oure God.


text:
They must haue more worke layed vpon them, that they maye laboure therin, & not regarde vayne wordes.


text:
Than went the taskemasters of the people and the offycers out: and tolde the people Thus sayeth Pharao: I wyll geue you no moare strawe,


text:
goo youre selues and gather you strawe where ye can fynde it, yet shall none of youre laboure be minyshed.


text:
And so were the people scatered abrode thorowe out all the lande of Egypte for to gather stubbyll in stead of strawe.


text:
And the taskemasters hasted them forwarde sayinge: fulfyll youre worke daye by daye, euen as yf ye had strawe.


text:
And the offycers of the chyldren of Israel whych Pharaos taskemasters had sett ouer them, were beaten. And they sayde vnto them: wherfore haue ye not fulfylled youre taske in makinge brycke, both yesterdaye and to daye, as well as in tymes past?


text:
The offycers also of the chyldren of Israel came & complayned vnto Pharao, sayinge: wherfore dealest thou thus wyth thy seruauntes?


text:
there is no strawe geuen vnto thy seruauntes, and they saye vnto vs: make brycke. And thy seruauntes are beaten, and thy people is foule intreated.


text:
Goo therfore nowe and worke, and ther shall no strawe be geuen you, and yet shall ye delyuer the hole tale of brycke.


text:
And the offycers of the chyldren of Israel dyd wyth heuynes loke on them that sayde: ye shall minyshe nothynge of youre daylye makynge of brycke.


text:
& sayde vnto them: The Lorde loke vnto you and iudge you, whych hath made the sauoure of vs stincke in the eyes of Pharao & in the eyes of his seruauntes, and haue put a swerde in their hande to slee vs.


text:
Moses returned vnto the Lorde & sayde: Lorde wherfore hast thou dealte cruelly wt this people: and wherfore hast thou sent me?


text:
For sence I came to Pharao to speake in thy name, he hath fared foule wyth thys folke, and yet thou hast not delyuered thy people at all.


text:
Then the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: Nowe shalt thou see, what I wyll doo vnto Pharao, for in a myghtye hande shall he let them goo, and in a myghtye hande shall he dryue them out of hys lande.


text:
I appeared vnto Abraham Isahac and Iacob as an allmyghtye God: and in my name Iehouah was I not knowne vnto them.


text:
Moreouer I made an appoyntment with them to geue them the lande of Canaan: the lande of their pilgremage where in thy were straungers.


text:
And I haue also herde the gronynge of the chyldren of Israel, whom the Egyptians kepe in bondage, and haue remembred my couenaunt.


text:
Wherfore saye vnto the chyldren of Israel: I am the Lorde, I wyll brynge you out from the burdens of the Egyptians, and wyll rydd you out of their bondage, & wyll delyuer you in a stretched out arme and in great iudgementes.


text:
And I wyll take you for my people, & wyll be to you a God. And ye shall knowe, that I am the Lorde youre God which brynge you out from the burdens of the Egyptians.


text:
And I wyll brynge you vnto the lande concernynge the whych I dyd lyft vp my hande to geue it vnto Abraham, Isahac and Iacob, and wyll geue it vnto you for a possessyon: euen I the Lorde.


text:
And Moses tolde the chyldren of Israel euen so: But they harkened not vnto Moses, for anguyshe of sprete and for cruel bondage.


text:
Goo in, & speake vnto Pharao kynge of Egypte, that he let the chyldren of Israel goo out of hys lande.


text:
And Moses spake before the Lorde sayinge: beholde, the chyldren of Israel herken not vnto me, howe than shall Pharao heare me? which am of vncircumcised lyppes?


text:
And the Lorde spake vnto Moses and vnto Aaron, and gaue them a charge vnto the chyldren of Israel and vnto Pharao kynge of Egypte: to brynge the chyldren of Israel out of the lande of Egypte.


text:
These be the heedes of theyr fathers houses. The chyldren of Ruben the eldest sonne of Israel are these: Hanoh, and Pallu, Hezron, and Charmi, these be the housholdes of Ruben

text:
Eleazar Aarons sonne toke him one of the daughters of Putuel to wife, which bare him Pinehas: and these be the pryncipall fathers of the Leuites thorowe out their kynreddes.


text:
This is that Aaron and Moses to whom the Lorde sayde: carye the chyldren of Israel out of the lande of Egypte, accordynge to theyr armyes.


text:
These are that Moses and Aaron which spake to Pharao kynge of Egypte, that they myghte brynge the chyldren of Israel out of Egypte.


text:
he spake vnto hym, sayinge: I am the Lorde. speake thou vnto Pharao the kinge of Egypte all that I saye vnto the.


text:
And Moses sayde before the Lorde: Beholde, I am of vncircumcised lyppes, and howe shall Pharao geue me audience?


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: beholde, I haue made the Pharaos God, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophete.


text:
Thou shalt speake all that I commaunded the, and Aaron thy brother shall speake vnto Pharao, that he sende the chyldren of Israel out of hys lande.


text:
But Pharao shall not herken vnto you, that I maye sett myne hand vpon Egypte, and brynge out myne armyes, and my people the chyldren of Israel out of the lande of Egypte, in great iudgementes,


text:
and the Egyptians shall knowe, that I am the Lorde: when I stretche forth my hande vpon Egypte, and brynge out the chyldren of Israel from amonge them.


text:
yf Pharao speake vnto you sayinge: shewe a wondre, thou shalt saye vnto Aaron: take thy rodd and cast it before Pharao, that it maye be a serpent.


text:
Than went Moses and Aaron in vnto Pharao, and dyd euen as the Lorde had commaunded. And Aaron cast forth his rodd before Pharao and before his seruauntes and it turned to a serpente.


text:
Than Pharao called for the wyse men and enchaunters, & those wyse men of Egypte dyd in like maner wt there sorcery.


text:
For they cast downe euery man hys rodd, and they turned to serpentes: but Aarons rodde dyd eate vp theyr roddes:


text:
Get the vnto Pharao in the mornynge, lo, he wyll come vnto the water, and thou shalt stonde vpon the ryuers brynke agaynst he come, and the rodd whyche turned to a serpente, shalt thou take in thyne hande.


text:
And thou shalt saye vnto hym: the Lorde God of the Hebrues hath sente me vnto the, sayinge let my people goo, that they maye serue me in the wildernes: And beholde, hyther to thou woldest not heare.


text:
Thus sayth the Lorde: In thys thou shalt knowe that I am the Lorde. Beholde, I wyll smyte (with the staffe that is in myne hande) the water that is in the ryuer, and it shall turne to bloude.


text:
And the fyshe that is in the ryuer shall dye, and the ryuer shall stynke: and it shall greue the Egyptians to dryncke of the water of the ryuer.


text:
And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, saye vnto Aaron: take thy staffe, and stretche out thyne hande ouer the waters of Egypte, ouer their streames, ouer their ryuers and pondes and all pooles of water, whych they haue, that they maye be bloude, and that there maye be bloud thorowe out all the lande of Egypte: both in vessels of wodd and also of stone.


text:
And Moses and Aaron dyd euen as the Lorde commaunded. And he lyfte vp the staffe and smote the waters that were in the ryuer in the syghte of Pharao and in the syghte of hys seruauntes, and all the water that was in the ryuer, turned into bloud.


text:
And the fyshe that was in the ryuer dyed and the ryuer stanke: and the Egyptians coulde not dryncke of the waters of the ryuer. And there was bloude thorowe out all the lande of Egypte.


text:
And the enchaunters of Egypte dyd lykewyse wyth their sorceries, and he hardened Pharaos hert: neyther dyd he harken vnto them as the Lorde had sayde.


text:
And the Egyptians dygged rounde aboute the ryuer for water to drynke, for they coulde not drynke of the water of the ryuer.


text:
The Lorde spake vnto Moses: Goo vnto Pharao & tell him; thus sayeth the Lorde: lett my people goo, that they maye serue me.


text:
And the ryuer shall scrall wyth frogges, whych shall go vp and come into thyne house and in to thy preuy chambre where thou slepest, and vpon thy bedd, and into the house of thy seruauntes, & vpon thy people, and into thyne ouens, and vpon thy meates.


text:
And the Lorde spake vnto Moses: saye vnto Aaron: stretche forth thyne hande with thy rodd ouer the stremes, ouer the ryuers, and ouer the pondes, that thou mayest brynge vp frogges vpon the lande of Egypte.


text:
And Aaron stretched hys hande ouer the waters of Egypte, and the frogges came vp, & couered the lande of Egypte.


text:
Then Pharao called for Moses & Aaron and sayde praye ye vnto the Lorde, that he maye take awaye the frogges from me & from my people, and I wyll let the people goo, that they maye do sacrifyce vnto the Lorde.


text:
And Moses sayde vnto Pharao: reioysse thou ouer me, and appoynte when I shall praye for the and for thy seruauntes, and for thy people, to dryue awaye the frogges from the, and thy houses, and that they maye remayne but in the ryuer only.


text:
He sayde: tomorowe. And he sayde: euen as thou hast sayde, that thou mayest knowe that there is none lyke vnto the Lorde oure God.


text:
And so the frogges shall departe from the and from thy houses, from thy seruauntes and from thy people, and shall remayne in the ryuer only.


text:
Moses and Aaron went out from Pharao, and Moses cryed vnto the Lorde vpon the apoyntment of frogges, which he had made vnto Pharao.


text:
And the Lorde dyd accordynge to the sayinge of Moses. And the frogges dyed out of the houses, out of the courtes and feldes.


text:
But when Pharao sawe that he had rest geuen him, he hardened hys herte and herkened not vnto them, as the Lorde had sayde.


text:
And the Lord sayde vnto Moses: saye vnto Aaron: stretche out thy rodd and smyt the dust of the lande, that it maye turne to lyse thorowe out all the lande of Egypte.


text:
And they dyd so. For Aaron stretched out his hande & with his rodd he smote the dust of the erth, which turned to lyse in man and beest, so that all the dust of the lande turned to lyse, thorowe out all the lande of Egypte.


text:
And the enchaunters assayde lykewyse with their enchauntmentes to brynge forth lyse, but they coulde not. And the lyse were both vpon men and beestes.


text:
Then sayde the enchaunters vnto Pharao: it is the fyngre of God. And Pharaos hart remayned obstinate, and he harkened not vnto them, euen as the Lorde had sayde.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: ryse vp early in the mornyng, and stande before Pharao, for he wyll come forth vnto the water: and thou shalt saye vnto him: thus saith the Lorde: Let my people go, that they maye serue me.


text:
Els, yf thou wylt not let my people goo, beholde, I wyll sende all maner of flyes both vpon the and thy seruauntes, and thy people, and into the houses. And the houses of the Egipcians shalbe full of flyes, and the grounde wheron they are.


text:
And the lande of Gosan where my people are, will I cause to be wonderfull in that daye: so that ther shall no flyes be there. Wherbye thou shalt knowe, that I am the Lorde in the myddes of the erth.


text:
The Lorde dyd euen so: and there came noysome flies into the house of Pharao, and into his seruauntes houses, and into all the lande of Egipt: and the lande was corrupte with these flyes.


text:
And Moses answered: it is not mete that we so do. For then we must offer vnto the Lorde our God, that which is an abhomination vnto the Egipcians. But and yf we sacrifice that, which is an abhomination vnto the Egipcians before their eyes, shulde they not stone us?


text:
we will go thre dayes iorneye into the deserte, and sacrifice vnto the Lord our God as he hath commaunded vs.


text:
And Pharao sayd: I will let you go, that ye maye sacrifice vnto the Lorde youre God in the wildernesse: but go not farre awaye, praye for me.


text:
And Moses sayde: beholde, I will go out from the, & praye vnto the Lorde, that the flyes maye departe from Pharao, & from his seruauntes and from his people to morow. But let Pharao from hensforth deceaue nomore, that he will not let the people go to sacrifice vnto the Lorde:


text:
And the Lorde dyd accordinge to the sayinge of Moses: and the flyes departed from Pharao, and from hys seruauntes, and from his people, and there remayned not one.


text:
The Lorde sayd vnto Moses: go in vnto Pharao and thou shalt tell him: thus sayth the Lorde God of the Ebrues: lett my people go, that they maye serue me.


text:
beholde, the hande of the Lorde is vpon thy flocke which is in the felde: for vpon hostes, asses, camels, oxen and shepe, there shalbe a mighty great morayne.


text:
And the Lorde shall do wonderfully betwene the beastes of Israel and the beastes of Egypt: so that there shall nothynge dye of all that pertayneth to the children of Israel.


text:
And the Lorde dyd it on the morow, and all the catell of Egipt dyed: but of the catell of the chyldren of Israel dyed not one.


text:
And Pharao sent, and beholde, ther was not one of the catell of the Israelites deed. And the hert of Pharao was hardened that he wolde not let the people go.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses and Aaron: take youre handes full of asshes out of the fornace, and Moses shall sprynkle it vp into the ayre, in the syght of Pharao,


text:
and it shall turne to dust in all the lande of Egipt: that ther maye be swellyng sores with blaynes both on man and beaste thorowout all the lande of Egipte.


text:
And they toke asshes oute of the fornace, and stode before Pharao, and Moses sprynkled it vp into the ayre. And there were sores with blaynes both in men and in beastes:


text:
and the sorcerers coulde not stande before Moses because of the blaines: for ther were botches vpon the enchaunters & vpon all the Egipcians.


text:
And the Lord hardened the hert of Pharao, & he herkened not vnto them, as the Lorde had sayd vnto Moses.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: ryse vp early in the mornynge, and stande before Pharao, & thou shalt tell hym: thus sayth the Lord God of the Ebrues: Let my people go, that they maye serue me:


text:
or els I will at this tyme sende all my plages vpon thine herte, and vpon thy seruauntes and on thy people, that thou mayest knowe, that there is none lyke me in all the earth.


text:
For nowe I wyll stretch out my hande, that I maye smyte the and thy people with pestilence: and thou shalt perysh from the earth.


text:
And in very dede for this cause haue I kepte the, for to shewe the my power: and that they might declare my name thorowout all the world.


text:
beholde, to morowe thys tyme I wyll sende downe a myghty great hayle: euen soche a one as was not in Egipt, sens it was grounded vnto thys tyme.


text:
Sende therfore nowe, and gather thy beastes, and all that thou hast in the felde. For vpon all the men and the beastes which are founde in the felde, and not brought home, shall the hayle fall, and they shall dye.


text:
And as many as feared the worde of the Lorde among the seruauntes of Pharao, made their seruauntes and their beastes flee into the houses:


text:
And the Lorde said vnto Moses: stretch forth thyne hande vnto heauen, that there maye be hayle in all the lande of Egipt: vpon man and vpon beastes and vpon all the herbes of the felde, thorowout the lande of Egipt.


text:
And Moses stretched out his rod vnto heauen: and the Lord thondred and hayled, and the fyrr ran a longe vpon the grounde. And the Lorde so hayled in the lande of Egypt,


text:
that there was hayle and fyer mengled with the hayle, so greuous, and such as there was none thorowout all the lande of Egipte, sence people inhabited it.


text:
And the hayle smote thorowout all the lande of Egipt, all that was in the felde both man and beast. And the hayle smote all the herbes of the felde, and broke all the trees of the felde:


text:
And Pharao sent & called for Moses and Aaron, and sayde vnto them: I haue nowe synned: the Lorde is ryghteous: and I and my people are vngodly.


text:
Praye ye vnto the Lorde: for it is moch that there shulde be thonders of God & hayle. I will let you go, and ye shall tary no longer.


text:
Moses sayde vnto him: assone as I am out of the citye, I will sprede abrode my handes vnto the Lorde, & the thonder shall cease. nether shall there be eny more hayle, that thou mayst knowe howe that the erth is the Lordes.


text:
And Moses went out of the citye from Pharao and sprede abrode his handes vnto the Lorde: and the thonder and hayle ceased nether rayned it vpon the earth.


text:
And when Pharao sawe that the rayne and the hayle and thonder were ceased, he synned agayne: and hardened his herte, he and his seruauntes.


text:
And the hert of Pharao was hardened: nether wolde he let the children of Israel go, as the Lorde had sayde by the hande of Moses.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: go in vnto Pharao: for I haue hardened his herte and the herte of hys seruauntes, that I might put these my sygnes amongest them:


text:
and that thou tell in the audience of thy sonne, and of thy sonnes sonne, what thinges I haue done in Egipte, and the myracles which I haue done amonge them: that ye maye knowe howe that I am the Lorde.


text:
And so Moses and Aaron came vnto Pharao, & sayd vnto him: Thus sayth the Lorde God of the Ebrues: howe longe shall it be or thou wylt submitte thy selfe vnto me? Let my people go, that they maye serue me.


text:
& they shall couer the face of the earth, that it cannot be sene: and they shall eate the residue which remayneth vnto you, and is escaped from the hayle: & they shall eate euery grene tree that beareth you frute in the felde,


text:
and they shall fyll thy houses, and all thy seruauntes houses, and the houses of all the Egipcyans after soche a maner as nether thy fathers, nor thy fathers fathers haue sene, sens the time they were vpon the earth vnto this daye. And he turned him selfe aboute, and went out from Pharao.


text:
And Pharaos seruauntes sayd vnto him: Howe longe shall he be a slaunder vnto vs? Let the men go, that they maye serue the Lorde their God: knowest thou not yet that Egipt is destroied?


text:
And Moses & Aaron were brought agayne vnto Pharao, and he sayde vnto them: Go, and serue the Lorde youre God. Who are they that shall go?


text:
And Moses answered: we will go with oure yonge and with our olde: yee, and with our sonnes and with oure daughters, and with oure shepe, and wt oure oxen we must go. For we must holde a feaste vnto the Lorde.


text:
And he sayde vnto them: let it be so. The Lorde be with you. When I let you go, and your children also take hede, for ye haue some mischefe in hande.


text:
Naye, not so: but go they that are men, and serue the Lorde: for that was your desyre. And they thrust them out of Pharaos presence.


text:
And the Lord sayd vnto Moses: Stretch out thyne hande ouer the lande of Egipt for gresshoppers, that they maye come vpon the lande of Egipt, and eate all the herbes of the lande, & all that the hayle left behynde.


text:
And Moses stretched forth his rod ouer the lande of Egipt: & the Lorde brought an east winde vpon the lande, all that daye, and all that nyght. And in the morning, the east wynde brought the greshoppers,


text:
and the greshoppers went vp ouer all the lande of Egipt: and remayned in all quarters of Egipt very greuously. Before them were ther no soch greshoppers, nether after them shalbe:


text:
for they couered all the face of the earth: so that the land was darke. And they dyd eate all the herbes of the lande, and all the frutes of the trees, and whatsoeuer the hayle had lefte: there was no grene thinge lefte in the trees and herbes of the felde thorowe all the lande of Egipte.


text:
Therfore Pharao called for Moses & Aaron in haste, & sayde: I haue synned agaynst the Lorde youre God & against you.


text:
And nowe forgeue me my sinne only this once: & pray vnto the Lorde your God, that he maye take awaye from me this deeth only.


text:
& the Lorde turned a mightye strong west winde, and it toke awaye the greshoppers and cast them into the redd see: so that there was not one greshopper in all the coaste of Egipt.


text:
And the Lorde sayd vnto Moses: stretch out thy hande vnto heauen, that there maye be vpon the lande of Egipt darcknes, which maye be felt.


text:
And Moses stretched forth his hande vnto heauen, and there was a thicke darcknes vpon all the lande of Egipt thre dayes longe,


text:
no man sawe another, nether rose vp from the place where he was by the space of thre dayes: but all the children of Israel had lyght where they dwelled.


text:
And Pharao called for Moses, & sayde: go, and serue the Lorde, only let youre shepe and youre oxen abyde, and let your children go with you.


text:
And Moses sayde: thou must geue us also offeringes and burntofferinges for to sacrifyce vnto the Lorde our God:


text:
our catell also shall go with vs, & there shall not one hoffe be left behinde: for therof must we take to serue the Lorde oure God. Neyther do we knowe what we shall offre vnto the Lorde, vntyll we come thyther.


text:
And Pharao sayde vnto him: get the fro me, and take hede to thy selfe, and se my face nomore. For whensoeuer thou commest in my syght, thou shalt dye.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: yet wyll I brynge one plage more vpon Pharao and vpon Egipte: and after that, he wyll let you go hence. And when he letteth you go, he shall vtterly driue you hence.


text:
Speake thou therfore in the eares of the people, that euery man borowe of his neyghbour, and euery womaan of her neyghboures iewels of syluer and iewels of golde.


text:
And the Lord shall gyue the people fauour in the syght of the Egipcians. Moreouer, Moses was very great in the lande of Egipt, in the syght of Pharaos seruauntes and in the sight of the people.


text:
and all the fyrste borne in the lande of Egipt shall dye, euen from the fyrst borne of Pharao that sytteth on his seate, vnto the fyrst borne of the mayde seruaunte that is behynde the mylle, and all the fyrste gendred of the catell.


text:
And there shalbe a great crye thorowout all the lande of Egipt, such as there was neuer none lyke, nor shalbe.


text:
But amonge the chyldren of Israel, shall not a dogge moue his tonge, nor yet man or beast: that ye maye knowe howe that the Lorde, putteth a difference betwene the Egipcyans and Israel.


text:
And these thy seruauntes shall all come downe vnto me. And fall before me, and saye: gett the out and all the people that are vnder the, and then wyll I departe. And he went oute from Pharao with an angry countenaunce.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: Pharao shall not heare you, that my wonders may be multiplyed in the lande of Egipte.


text:
And Moses and Aaron dyd all these wonders. before Pharao. And the Lorde hardened Pharaos herte, so that he wolde not let the chyldren of Israel go out of his lande.


text:
Thys monethe shalbe vnto you the beginning of monethes: and the fyrst moneth of the yeare shall it be vnto you.


text:
Speake ye vnto all the congregacyon of Israel, saying: In the .x. daye of thys moneth, euery man take vnto him a lambe, according to the house of the fathers, a lambe thorowout euery house.


text:
Yf the housholde be to lytle for the lambe, let hym take hys neyghboure which is nexte vnto his house according to the nombre of the soules: euery one of you, according to his eating, shal make your counte for a lambe.


text:
And let the lambe of yours be wtout blemysh, a male of a yeare olde, which ye shall take out from amonge the shepe, or from amonge the goates.


text:
And ye shall kepe him in vntyll the .xiiij. daye of the same moneth. And euery man of the multitude of Israel shall kyll him about euen.


text:
And they shall take of the bloud, & strike it on the .ij. syde postes & on the vpperdorepost euen in the houses, where they shall eate hym.


text:
And they shall eate the flesh the same night: rost wt fyer & wt vnleuended bread, & wt sowre herbes they shall eate it.


text:
Se that ye eate not therof rawe ner soden in water, but roste wt fier: the head, fete, & purtenaunce therof.


text:
And ye shall let nothyng of it remayne vnto the morning. That which remayneth of it vntyll the morowe, shall ye burne with fyer.


text:
Of this maner shall ye eate it: with your loynes gyrded, and your shoes on your fete, and your staues in your handes. And ye shall eate it in haste: for it is the Lordes passeouer:


text:
for I wyll passe thorowe the lande of Egipt this same nyght, and wyll smytte all the first borne in the land of Egipt, both of man and beaste, and vpon all the goddes of Egipt will I the Lord do execution.


text:
And the bloude shalbe vnto you a token in the houses wherin ye are. And when I se the bloud, I will passe ouer you, and the plage shal not be vpon you to destroye you, when I smyte the lande of Egipte.


text:
And this daye shalbe vnto you a remembraunce: and ye shall kepe it holy vnto the Lorde, euen thorowout youre generatyons shall ye kepe it holy daie, that it be a custome for euer.


text:
Seuen dayes shall ye eat vnleuended bread: and the fyrste daye ye shall put a waye leuen out of youre houses. For whosoeuer eateth leuended bread from the fyrst daye vntill the seuenth daye, that soule shalbe plucked out from Israel.


text:
The fyrste daye shalbe an holy conuocation, and the seuenth daye shalbe an holy conuocation vnto you. There shalbe no maner of worcke done in them, saue about that onely which euery man must eate, that onely maye ye do.


text:
And ye shall obserue vnleuended bread. For this same daye haue I brought your armyes out of the lande of Egypte, therfore ye shall obserue this daye, & all your children after you, by a custome for euer.


text:
The fyrst moneth and the .xiiij. daye of the moneth at euen, ye shall eate swete bread vnto the .xxj. daye of the moneth at euen agayne.


text:
Seuen dayes shall there be no leuended breade founde in youre houses. And whosoeuer eateth leuended bread, that soule shalbe roted out from the multitude of Israel: whyther he be a straunger or borne in the lande.


text:
Moses called for the elders of Israel, and sayde vnto them: chose out and take you to euery housholde of you a shepe, and kyll it for passeouer.


text:
And take a bunche of ysope, & dyp it in the bloude that is in the basen, and stryke the vpperposte and the two syde postes with the bloud that is in the basen, and none of you go out at the dore of hys house, vntyll the mornyng.


text:
For the Lorde will go about to smyte the Egipcians. And when he seeth the bloude vpon the vpper dore poste & on the two side postes: he will passe ouer the dore, and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your house to plage you.


text:
And when ye become into the land which the Lorde wyll geue you, accordynge as he hath promysed, ye shall kepe thys seruyce.


text:
ye shall saye: it is the sacrifyce of the Lordes passe ouer, which passed ouer the houses of the children of Israel in Egipte, as he smote the Egypcians, and saued oure houses. And the people bowed them selues, and worshypped:


text:
And the chyldren of Israel went, and dyd as the Lorde had commaunded Moses and Aaron. Euen so dyd they.


text:
And at mydnight, the Lorde smote all the fyrst borne in the lande of Egipte, from the fyrst borne of Pharao that satte on hys seate, vnto the fyrst borne of the captyue that was in preson: and all the fyrste gendred of catell.


text:
And Pharao arose in the nyghte, he and all his seruauntes and all the Egipcians: and there was a greate cryinge in Egipt: for there was no house where there was not one deed.


text:
And he called vnto Moses and Aaron by nyght, saying: ryse vp, and get you oute from amonge my people: both ye and also the children of Israel, and go and serue the Lorde as ye haue sayde.


text:
And the Egypcians were fierce vpon the people, that they myght sende them out of the lande in haste: for they sayde: we dye all.


text:
And the people toke their dowgh before it was sowred, and theyr vitayles bounde in clothes vpon theyr shoulders.


text:
And the children of Israel dyd accordyng to the saying of Moses: and they borowed of the Egipcyans iewelles of siluer, and iewelles of golde, and rayment.


text:
And the Lorde gaue the people fauoure in the syght of the Egippcians: so that they graunted soch thinges as they required. And they robbed the Egypcians.


text:
And the children of Israel toke their iorneye from Rameses to Suchoth syxe hundred thousande men of fote, besyde children.


text:
And they baked swete cakes of the dowgh which they brought out of Egipt, for it was not sowred. For when they were thrust oute by the Egipcyans, they coulde not tarie to prepare them selues any prouisyon of meate:


text:
The dwellinge of the children of Israel, which they dwelled in Egipte, was .iiij. hundred and .xxx. yeares:


text:
and when the .iiij. hundred and .xxx. yeares were expired, euen the selfe same daye departed all the hoostes of the Lorde out of the lande of Egipt,


text:
It is a nyght to be obserued to the Lorde, in the which he brought them oute of the lande of Egypte. Thys is that nyghte of the Lorde which all the chyldren of Israel muste kepe thorowout theyr generations.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses and Aaron: This is the lawe of passeouer: there shall no straunger eate therof.


text:
But euery seruaunt that is bought for money (after that thou hast circumcised him) shall eate therof.


text:
In one house shall it be eaten. Thou shalte carye none of the fleshe oute at the house. Neyther shall ye breake a bone therof.


text:
If a straunger also dwell amonge you, & will holde passeouer vnto the Lorde, let him circumcyse all that be males: and then lett him come and obserue it, and he shall be as one that is borne in the lande. For no vncircumcised persone shall eate therof.


text:
One maner of lawe shalbe vnto him that is borne in the lande, and vnto the straunger that dwelleth amonge you.


text:
And the self same daye dyd the Lorde bring the chyldren of Israel out of the lande of Egipt with their armyes.


text:
Sanctify vnto me all the first borne, that open all maner matrices amonge the children of Israel aswell of man as of beaste: for it is myne.


text:
And Moses sayd vnto the people: thynke on this daye in which ye came out of Egipt, out of the house of bondage: for thorow a mightye hande the Lord brought you out from thence. There shall no leuended bread be eaten.


text:
When the Lorde hath brought the into the lande of the Cananites, Hethites, Amorites, Heuites & Iebusites: which he sware vnto thy fathers that he wold geue the a lande wherin mylcke & hony floweth, thou shalt kepe this seruice in thys same moneth:


text:
Swete bread shalbe eaten seuen daies: and ther shall no leuended bread be sene, nor yet leuen with the in all thy quarters.


text:
And thou shalt shewe thy sonne in that daie sayinge: this is done, because of that which the Lord dyd vnto me, when I came out of Egipte.


text:
And it shalbe a signe vnto the vpon thyne hande, and for a remembraunce betwene thyne eyes, that the Lordes lawe maye be in thy mouth. For in a stronge hand the Lorde brought the out of Egipt.


text:
And it will come to passe, that the Lord shall bring the into the lande of the Cananites, which he sware vnto the and to thy fathers: and shall geue it the.


text:
And then thou shalt appointe vnto the Lorde all that openeth the matrice. And euery caste thing, the fyrst doth open the matrice of a beast which thou hast: yf they be males, they shall be the Lordes.


text:
And euery fyrst gendred of an asse, thou shalt redeme with a lambe: yf thou redeme him not, thou shalt breake his neck. All the fyrst borne amonge thy chyldren also, shalt thou bye out.


text:
And when thy sonne asketh the to morowe, sayinge what is this, thou shalt saye vnto him: With a mightye hande the Lorde brought vs out of Egipt, out of the house of bondage.


text:
And when Pharao was looth to let vs go, the Lorde slewe all the first borne in the lande of Egipte: aswell the fyrste borne of man as of beaste. Therfore I sacrice vnto the Lorde all the males that open the matrice, and all the fyrst borne of my children I redeme.


text:
This shalbe a token vpon thyne hande, and a remembraunce betwene thyne eyes, that the Lorde brought vs out of Egipte thorowe a mightye hande.


text:
It came to passe, that whan Pharao had lett the people go, God caryed them not thorowe the waye and lande of the Philistines, which was the more nye waye. But God sayde: lest the people happly repent whan they se warre: & so turne agayne to Egipte.


text:
But God led the people about thorowe the waye of the wildernes of the redd see. And the children of Israel went vp harnessed out of the lande of Egipte.


text:
And Moses toke the bones of Ioseph with him: for he made the children of Israel swere, saying God will surely viset you, and ye shall take my bones awaye hens with you.


text:
And the Lorde wente before them by daye in a pyller of a cloude to leade them the waye: and by nyght in a pyller of fyer to geue them lyght, that they might go both by daye and nyght.


text:
The pyller of the cloude departed not by daye, nor the pyller of fyer by night out of the sight of the people.


text:
Speake to the children of Israel, that they turne and remayne before Pi Hiroth betwene Migdol and the see, oueragaynst Baalzephon: and before that shall they pitch by the see.


text:
For Pharao wyll saye of the children of Israel: they are tangled in the lande, the wildernes hath shut them in.


text:
And I will harden Pharaos hert, that he shall folowe after you: and I will get me honoure vpon Pharao and vpon all his hoost, the Egipcians also shall knowe that I am the Lorde. And they dyd euen so.


text:
And it was tolde the king of Egipt that the people fled. And the hert of Pharao and of his seruauntes turned agaynst the people and they sayde: why haue we this done that we haue let Israel go out of our seruice?


text:
and toke syxe hundred chosen charettes and all the charettes of Egipt and captaynes vpon euery one of them.


text:
And the Lord hardened the hert of Pharao kyng of Egipt, and he folowed after the chyldren of Israel. But the children of Israel wente out with an hye hande:


text:
and the Egipcians folowed after them, and all the horses and charettes of Pharao and his horsemen and his hoost ouertoke them abyding by the see, besyde Pi Hiroth before Baal zephon.


text:
And when Pharao drewe nie, the children of Israel lyft vp their eyes and beholde, the Egipcians folowed after them, and they were sore afrayde: and the children of Israel cryed out vnto the Lorde.


text:
But they sayde vnto Moses: because there were no graues in Egipt, hast thou therfore brought vs awaye for to dye in the wyldernes? wherfore hast thou serued vs thus, for to carye vs out of Egipte?


text:
Dyd not we tell the this in Egipt, saying: let vs be in rest, that we maye serue the Egipcians? For it had bene better for vs to haue serued the Egipcians then for to dye in the wildernesse.


text:
And Moses sayde vnto the people: feare ye not, stande styll, & beholde, howe the Lorde shall saue you this daie. For ye that haue sene the Egipcians this daye, shall se them nomore for euer.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: wherfore cryest thou vnto me? speake vnto the children of Israel that they go forwarde.


text:
But lyfte thou vp thy rodd, and stretche oute thy hande ouer the see, and deuide it a sondre, and let the children of Israel go on drye grounde thorowe the middest of the see.


text:
And behold, I will harden the hert of the Egipcians that they maye folowe them. And I wyll get me honoure vpon Pharao and vpon all his host, and vpon his charettes and vpon his horsmen.


text:
And the Egipcians shall knowe that I am the Lorde when I haue gotten me honoure vpon Pharao, vpon his charettes and vpon his horsmen.


text:
And the angell of God which went before the hoost of Israel remoued, and beganne to go behynde them. And the clowden piller that was before the face of them beganne to stonde behynde them,


text:
and came betwene the hoost of the Egipcians and the hooste of Israel. It was also a darcke clowde, and gaue lyght by nyght: and all the nyght long the one came not at the other.


text:
And Moses stretched forth hys hande ouer the see: and the Lord caryed awaye the see by a verye stronge easte wynde all that nyght, and made the see drye lande, and the waters were deuyded.


text:
And the children of Israel went into the myddest of the see vpon the drye grounde. And the waters were a walle vnto them, on their ryght hande, and on their lefte hande.


text:
And the Egipcians folowed and went in after them to the myddest of the see, euen all Pharaos horses, hys charettes and his horsemen.


text:
And in the morning watch, the Lorde loked vnto the hoost of the Egipcians out of the fyery and clowdy pyller: and troubled the hoost of the Egipcians,


text:
and toke of hys charet wheles & caryed them awaye violently. So that the Egipcians sayde: Let vs fle from the face of Israel: for the Lorde fighteth for them agaynst the Egipcians.


text:
And the Lorde sayd vnto Moses: stretch out thyne hande ouer the see, that the waters maye come agayne vpon the Egipcian, vpon his charettes and vpon his horsemen.


text:
And Moses stretched forth hys hande ouer the see, and it came agayne to his course rarly in the mornynge, and the Egipcians fledd agaynst it. And the Lorde ouerthrew the Egipcians in the myddest of the see:


text:
and the water returned and couered the charettes and the horsmen: and all the hoost of Pharao that came into the see after them, so that there remayned not one of them.


text:
But the chyldren of Israel walked vpon drye lande thorowe the myddest of the see, and the waters were a walle vnto them on the ryght hande of them, and on the left.


text:
Thus the Lorde delyuered Israel the selfe same daye out of the hande of the Egipcians: and Israel sawe the Egipcians deed vpon the see syde.


text:
And Israel sawe that mightye power which the Lord shewed vpon the Egipcians: and the people feared the Lorde, and beleued the Lorde and his seruaunt Moses.


text:
Then Moses & the chyldren of Israel sange this songe vnto the Lord and sayde: I wyll syng vnto the Lorde: for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and him that rode vpon him hath he ouerthrowne in the see.


text:
The Lord is my strength and prayse, and he is become my saluacion. He is my God, and I wyll glorify hym: my fathers God, & I wyll exalte hym.


text:
Pharaos charettes and his hoost hath he caste into the see. Hys chosen captaynes also are drowned in the red see,


text:
Thy ryght hande Lorde, is become glorious in power: thy ryght hande Lorde hath all to dashed the enemy.


text:
And in thy greate glory thou hast ouerthrowne them that rose vp agaynst the: thou sentest forth thy wrath which consumed them euen as stobell.


text:
Thorowe the winde of thy nastrels the water gathered together, the floudes stode styll as an heape, and the depe water congeled together in the hert of the see.


text:
The enemye sayd: I wyll folowe on them: I will ouertake them, I will deuyde the spoyle, I wyll satisfye my lust vpon them, I wyll drawe my sweard, myne hande shall destroye them.


text:
Who is lyke vnto the, o Lorde, among goddes? who is lyke the so glorious in holynes, fearfull in prayses, shewing wonders?


text:
Thou in thy mercye hast caryed thys people which thou deliueredst: & hast brought them in thy strength vnto thy holy habitatyon.


text:
Then the dukes of the Edomites were amased, and the mightyest of the Moabites, tremblynge came vpon them: all the inhabiters of Canaan waxed faynte harted:


text:
Lett feare and dreade fall vpon them in the greatnes of thyne arme, let them be as styll as a stone, tyll thy people passe thorowe, O Lorde, whyle thys people passe thorowe, which thou hast goten.


text:
Thou shalte brynge them in, and plante them in the mountayne of thyne enheritaunce, the place, Lord, which thou hast made for to dwell in, the sanctuary, o Lorde, which thy handes haue prepared.


text:
For Pharaos horse went in wt his charettes and horsemen into the see, & the Lord brought the waters of the see vpon them. But the children of Israel went on drye land in the myddest of the see.


text:
And Mir Iam a prophetysse the syster of Aaron toke a tymbrell in her hande, & all the wemen came out after her wt tymbrels & daunces.


text:
And Mir Iam sange before them: Synge ye vnto the Lorde: for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse & his ryder hath he ouerthrowne in the see.


text:
And so Moses brought Israel from the redd see, & they went out into the wildernes of Sur. And they went thre dayes longe in the wildernes, and founde no waters.


text:
And whan they came to Mara, they coulde not drincke of the waters of Mara: for they were bytter: therfore the name of the place was called, Mara,


text:
And he cried vnto the Lorde: and the Lorde shewed hym a tree, which when he had cast into the water, the waters were made swete. There he made them an ordinaunce and a lawe, and there he proued him,


text:
& sayde: If thou wylt herken vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy God, and wylt do that which is right in his sight, and wylt geue eare vnto his commaundementes, & kepe all hys ordinaunces: then wyll I put none of these diseases vpon the which I brought vpon the Egipcians: for I am the Lorde that healeth the.


text:
b) And they toke their iorney from Elim: & all the hole company of the children of Israel came to the wildernes of Sin, which is betwene Elim and Synai: the .xv. day of the .ij. moneth after their departyng out of the lande of Egypt.


text:
and the children of Israel sayde vnto them: wolde to God we had died by the hande of the Lorde in the lande of Egypte, when we sat by the fleshepottes, and when we dyd eate bread our belyes full: for ye haue brought vs out into this wyldernes, to kyll thys hole multitude with honger.


text:
Then sayde the Lorde vnto Moses: behold, I wyll rayne bread from heauen to you, and the people shall go out, and gather daye by daye that I may proue them, whither they will walke in my lawe or no.


text:
The .vj. daye they shal prepare for them selues that which they wyll bryng in, and let it be twise asmoch as they gather in dayly.


text:
And Moses & Aaron sayde vnto all the children of Israel: at euen ye shall knowe that it is the Lorde, which brought you out of the lande of Egypt:


text:
and in the morning, ye shall se the glory of the Lorde: because he hath heard your grudginges agaynst the Lorde. And what are we that ye haue murmured against vs?


text:
And Moses sayde: At euen shall the Lorde geue you flesh to eate, and in the mornyng bread ynough: for the Lorde hath hearde your murmurynges which ye murmur agaynst him: for what are we? your murmuringes are not against vs, but agaynst the Lorde.


text:
And Moses spake vnto Aaron: Saye vnto all the company of the children of Israel, come forth before the Lorde: for he hath heard your grudgynges.


text:
And as Aaron spake vnto the hole multytude of the chyldren of Israel, they loked towarde the wildernes: and beholde, the glorye of the Lorde appeared in the cloude.


text:
I haue hearde the murmurynge of the chyldren of Israel, tell them therfore and saye: at euen ye shall eate flesh, and in the morning ye shalbe fylled with breed, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord your God.


text:
And at euen the quayles came and couered the grounde where they laye. And in the morninge, the dewe laye rounde about the hooste.


text:
And when the dewe was fallen: beholde it laye vpon the grounde in the wyldernes, small & round and thyn as the hore frost on the grounde.


text:
And when the chyldren of Israel sawe it, they sayde euery one to hys neyghboure: It is Manna. For they wist not what it was. And Moses sayde vnto them: this is the breed which the Lord hath geuen you to eate.


text:
This is the worde which the Lorde hath commaunded: gather of it euery man for him self to eate: a gomer full for a man according to the nombre of you, and take euery man for them which are in his tente.


text:
and when they dyd mete it with a gomer, vnto hym that had gathered moch, remayned nothing ouer, and vnto him that had gathered litle, was there no lacke: euery man gathered sufficient for his eatyng.


text:
Not withstondyng they harkened not vnto Moses: but some of them lefte of it vntyll the mornyng, and it waxed full of wormes and stancke, and Moses was angry with them.


text:
And they gathered it all morninges, euery man for hys eatynge. And assoone as the heate of the sunne came, it moulte.


text:
And the sixte day, they gathered twise so moch breed two gomers for one man: & all the rulers of the multitude came, & tolde Moses.


text:
He sayd vnto them: this is that which the Lorde hath sayde: tomorow is the rest of the holy Sabbath vnto the Lord: bake that which ye will bake, and seth that ye will seth, and that which remayneth, laye vp tyll the mornynge.


text:
And they layde it vp tyll the mornynge, as Moses bad: and it stanke not, nether breed there any worme therin.


text:
And Moses sayde: that eate thys daye: for it is the Sabbath vnto the Lorde: todaye ye shall not fynde it in the felde.


text:
Notwithstondyng, there went out some of the people in the seuenth daye for to gather, & they founde none.


text:
Se, the Lorde hath geuen you a Sabbath, therfore he geueth you the syxte daye bread for two dayes. Byde therfore euery man at home & lett no man go out of hys place the seuenth daye.


text:
And the house of Israel called it Manna. And it was lyke vnto coriander seede, whyte: and the taste of it was like vnto wafers made with hony.


text:
And Moses sayd: this is that which the Lorde commaundeth, fyll a gomer of it, which maye be kept for youre children after you: that they maye se the bread wherwith I haue fedd you in wyldernesse, when I brought you out of the lande of Egipt.


text:
And Moses spake vnto Aaron: take a cruse and put a gomer full of Manna therin, and laye it vp before the Lorde to be kepte for yor children after you,


text:
And the chyldren of Israel dyd eate Manna fourtye yeare, vntyll they came vnto a lande inhabited. And so they dyd eate Manna euen vntyll they came vnto the borders of the land of Canaan.Exo


text:
And all the company of the chyldren of Israel thorowout their armies went from the wyldernes of Sin after the commaundement of the Lorde, and pytched in Raphidim: where was no water for the people to drincke.


text:
And the people chode with Moses, and sayde: geue vs water to drincke. Moses sayde vnto them: why chyde ye with me? wherfore do ye tempte the Lorde?


text:
There the people thirsted for water, and the people murmured agaynst Moses, & sayde: wherfore hast thou thus brought vs oute of Egipte: to kyll vs and oure chyldren and catell with thyrste?


text:
And Moses cryed vnto the Lorde, saying: what shall I do vnto thys people? they be allmoost ready to stone me.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: go before the people, and take wt the of the elders of Israel, & thy rod wherwith thou smotest the ryuer, take in thyne hande, and go.


text:
Beholde, I stonde before the besyde a rocke that is in Horeb: & thou shalt smyte the rocke, and there shall come water out therof, that the people maye dryncke. And Moses dyd euen so before the eyes of the elders of Israel.


text:
And he called the name of the place Masse and Meriba. because of the chidynge of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lorde, sayinge: is the Lorde amonge vs or not?


text:
And Moses sayde vnto Iosua: chose vs oute men, and goo fyghte with Amalech. And tomorow I will stonde on the toppe of the hyll, and the rodd of God shalbe in my hande.


text:
Iosua did as Moses bade hym, & foughte with Amalech. And Moses, and Aaron, & Hur went vp to the toppe of the hyll.


text:
And it happened, that when Moses helde vp his hande, Israel had the better. And when he late hys hande downe, Amalech had the better.


text:
But Moses handes were heuye, and therfore they toke a stone and put it vnder hym, and he satt downe there on. And Aaron and Hur stayed vp his handes, the one on the one syde and the other on the other syde. And hys handes remayned stedye vntyll the goynge downe of the sonne.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: writte thys for a remembraunce in a boke, and commite it vnto the eares of Iosua, for I will vtterly put out the remembraunce of Amalech from vnder heauen.


text:
For he sayde: the hande is on the seate of God the Lorde wyll haue warre with Amalech from generacyon to generacyon.


text:
Iethro the prest of Midiam Moses father in lawe herde of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel hys people, and that the Lord had broughte Israel out of Egypte.


text:
and hyr two sonnes, of which the one was called Gerson, for he sayd: I haue bene an alient in a straunge lande.


text:
The name of the other was Eliesar: for the God of my father (sayde he) was myne helpe, and delyuered me from the swerde of Pharao:


text:
And Iethro Moses Father in lawe came with his two sonnes & his wyfe vnto Moses into the wildernesse: where he abode by the mount of God.


text:
And he sayde vnto Moses: I thy father in lawe Iethro am come to the, and thy wyfe also and hyr two sonnes with her.


text:
And Moses went oute to mete hys father in lawe and dyd obeyssaunce and kyssed hym and eache asked other of hys health, and they came into the tent.


text:
And Moses tolde hys father in lawe all that the Lorde had done vnto Pharao and to the Egyptians for Israels sake, and all the trauayle that had happened them by the waye, and howe the Lorde delyuered them.


text:
And Iethro reioysed ouer all the goodnesse whyche the Lorde had done to Israell, and because he had delyuered them out of the hande of the Egyptians.


text:
And Iethro sayde: blessed be the Lorde whiche hath delyuered you oute of the hande of the Egyptians and out of the hande of Pharao, which hath also delyuered hys people from the captyuite of the Egyptians.


text:
Nowe I knowe that the Lorde is greater then all goddes, for in the thynge wherby they dealt cruelly wyth them, are they them selues peryshed.


text:
And Iethro Moses father in lawe offred burntofferynges and sacrifyces vnto God. And Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eate breade wyth Moses father in lawe before God.


text:
And it chaunced on the morow, that Moses satt to iudge the people, and the people stode aboute Moses from mornynge vnto euen.


text:
And whan Moses father in lawe sawe all that he did vnto the people, he sayd: what is thys that thou doest vnto the people? why syttest thou thy selfe alone, and all the people stonde aboute the from mornynge vnto euen?


text:
When they haue a matter, they come vnto me, and I iudge betwene euery man and hys neyghboure, and shewe them the ordynaunces of God and hys lawes.


text:
Thou both weryest thy selfe, and thys people that is wt the: for thys thynge is of more weyght, then thou art able to perfourme thy selfe alone.


text:
Heare nowe therfore my voyce, and I wyll geue the councell, and God shalbe with the. Be thou vnto the people to God warde, that thou mayest brynge the causes vnto God,


text:
and thou shalt teache them ordinaunces and lawes, and shewe them the waye wherin they must walke, and the worke that they must doo.


text:
Morouer thou shalt seke oute amonge all the people, men of actiuite, and such as feare God: true men, hatynge coueteousnes: and make them heedes ouer the people, captaynes ouer thousandes, ouer hundredes, ouer fyftye and ouer ten.


text:
And let them iudge the people at all seasons. And euery greate matter that happeneth, let them bringe vnto the, but let them iudge all small causes them selues, and so shall it be easyer for thy selfe, and they shall bere with the.


text:
If thou shalt do thys thinge, (and God charge the with all) thou shalt be able to endure, and yet the people shall come to theyr place in peace.


text:
and chose actyue men oute of all Israel and made them as heedes ouer the people: namely, captaynes ouer thousandes, ouer hundredes, ouerfyfty and ouerten.


text:
And they iudged the people at all seasons, but broughte the harde causes vnto Moses: and iudged all small matters them selues.


text:
In the thyrde moneth, whan the children of Israel were gone oute of the lande of Egipt, the same daye came they into the wyldernesse of Sinay.


text:
For they were departed from Raphidim, and were come to the deserte of Sinay, and had pitched theyr tentes in the wildernesse. And there Israel abode before the mounte.


text:
But Moses went vp vnto God. And the Lorde called to hym out of the mountayne, sayinge: thus shalt thou saye vnto the house of Iacob, and tell the chyldren of Israel:


text:
ye haue sene what I dyd vnto the Egyptians, and toke you vp vpon Eegles wynges, & haue brought you vnto my selfe:


text:
Nowe therfore yf ye wyll heare my voyce in dede, and kepe myne appoyntement: ye shall be myne awne, aboue all nacyons, for all the erth is myne.


text:
Ye shall be vnto me also a kyngdome of preastes and an holy people: and these are the wordes which thou shalt saye vnto the chyldren of Israel.


text:
Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and layde before theyr faces all these wordes which the Lorde commaunded hym.


text:
And the people answered all to gether, and sayde. All that the Lorde hath sayde, we wyll doo. And Moses brought the wordes of the people vnto the Lorde.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: Lo, I come vnto the in a thycke cloud, that the people maye heare me talkynge with the, and beleue the for euer. Moses shewed the wordes of the people vnto the Lorde.


text:
And the Lorde sayd vnto Moses: Go vnto the people, and sanctifye them to daye and to morowe, and let them wash theyr clothes:


text:
& be redy agaynst the thyrde daye. For the thyrde daye the Lorde wyll come downe in the syght of all the people vpon mounte Sinay.


text:
And thou shalt set markes rounde aboute the people and saye: beware, that ye go not vp into the mounte, or touche the bordre of it. Whosoeuer toucheth the mounte, shall surely dye.


text:
There shall not an hande touch it: Els he shall be stoned or shot thorowe: whether it be beast or man, it shall not lyue: when the trompe bloweth longe, than maye they come vp into the mountayne.


text:
And Moses went downe from the mounte vnto the people, and sanctifyed them, and they wasshed theyr clothes:


text:
And the thyrde daye in the mornynge there was thunder, and lyghtenynge, and a thycke clowde vpon the mounte, and the voyce of the trompe exceadynge lowde, so that all the people that was in the hoste was afrayed.


text:
And mounte Sinay was all to gether on a smoke: because the Lorde descended downe vpon it in fyre. And the smoke therof ascended vp, as the smoke of a kele, and all the mount was exceadyng fearfull.


text:
And whan the voyce of the trompe blewe and waxed lowder and lowder Moses spake, & God answered him by a voyce:


text:
And the Lorde came downe vpon mounte Sinay, euen in the toppe of the hyll, and whan the Lord called Moses vp into the toppe of the hyll. Moses went vp.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: go downe: charge the people, that they prease not vp to se the Lorde, and so many of them perish.


text:
And let the prestes also whych come to the Lorde sanctifye them selues, lest the Lorde destroye them.


text:
And Moses sayde vnto the Lorde: the people cannot come vp into the mounte Synay, for thou chargedest vs saying: set markes aboute the hyll, and sanctifie it:


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto him: awaye, and get the downe: and thou shalt come vp, thou and Aaron with the. But let not the Prestes and the people presume for to come vp vnto the Lorde: lest he destroye them.


text:
I am the Lorde thy God, which haue brought the out of the lande of Egipte, oute of the house of bondage.


text:
Thou shalt make the no grauen ymage, nether any symilitude that is in heauen aboue, ether in the erth benethe, or in the waters vnder the erth.


text:

And the Lorde sayd vnto Moses: go, get the downe: thy people which thou broughtest out of the lande of Egipt,

And Moses besought the Lord his God, and sayde: O Lorde, why doeth thy wrath waxe hote agaynst thy people, which thou hast brought oute of the lande of Egipte, wt greate power and with a mightye hande?


text:
wherfore shulde the Egipcyans speake and saye: For a myschefe dyd he bryng them out euen for to sley them in the mountaynes, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turne from thy fearce wrath, and turne from thys euell (deuysed) agaynst thy people.

text:
And he answered: it is not the crye of them that haue the mastry, nor of them that haue the worse: but I do heare the noyes of them that synge.

And it fortuned, assoone as he came nye vnto the hooste, he sawe the calfe and the daunsynge, and Moses wrath waxed hote, and he cast the tables out of his handes, and brake them beneth the hyll.

And Aaron answered: let not the wrath of my Lorde waxe fearce, thou knowest the people that they are euen sett on myschefe:


text:
For they sayde vnto me: make vs goddes to go before vs, for we wote not what is become of Moses, the felowe that brought vs out of the lande of Egipte.


text:
And I sayd vnto them: let them that haue golde pluck it of, and bring it me: and I cast it into the fier: and therof came out thys calfe.


text:
Moses therfore sawe that the people were naked (and that Aaron had made them naked vnto theyr shame amonge theyr enemyes)


text:
and he went and stode in the gate of the hoste, and sayde: If any man pertayne vnto the Lorde, let him come to me. And all the sonnes of Leui gathered them selues together,


text:
& came vnto him. And he sayde vnto them: Thus saith the Lorde God of Israel: put euery man his sweard by his syde, & go in and out, from gate to gate thorowout the hooste: and sleye euery man, his brother and euery man hys companyon, and euery man hys neyghboure.

And the chyldren of Leui dyd as Moses had sayde. And there fell of the people the same daye about .iij.M. men.


text:
And Moses sayde: fyll your handes vnto the Lorde this daye, euery man vpon hys sonne and vpon his brother and that ther maye be geuen you a blessing this daye.


text:
And on the morowe it fortuned that Moses sayde vnto the people: Ye haue synned a great synne. And nowe I wyll go vp vnto the Lorde: yf paraduenture I maye purchace an atonement for your synne.


text:
Moses therfore went agayne vnto the Lorde, & sayde: Oh, thys people haue synned a greate synne and haue made them goddes of golde.


text:
And nowe I praye the, eyther forgeue them their synne: or (yf thou wilt not) wipe me out of thy booke, which thou hast wrytten.

And nowe go thou, brynge the people vnto the place which I sayde vnto the: beholde, myne angell shall go before the. Neuerthelater in the daye when I vyset, I wyll vyset their synne vpon them.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: departe, and go hence: thou and the people, which thou hast brought out of the lande of Egypte, vnto the land which I sware vnto Abraham. Isahac and Iacob, sayinge: vnto thy seed will I geue it

(and I wyll sende an angel before the: and wyll cast out the Cananites, the Amorites and the Hethites, the Pherezites, the Heuites, and the Iebusites)


text:
a lande that floweth with mylke and honye. For I wyll not go amonge you my selfe: for ye are a styffnecked people: lest I consume the in the waye.


text:
And when the people heard this euell tidynges, they sorowed: and no man did put on hys best rayment.


text:
And the Lorde spake vnto Moses: saye vnto the children of Israel: ye are a styfnecked people: I must come once sodenly vpon you, & make an ende of you. Therfore nowe put thy goodly rayment from the, that I maye wete what to do vnto the.


text:
And Moses toke the tabernacle, and pitched it withoute the hooste a farre of from the hoost: and called it the tabernacle of witnes. And so it came to passe, that euery one which wolde praye vnto the Lorde, wente out vnto the tabernacle of wytnesse, which was without the hooste.

And it fortuned, that when Moses went out vnto the tabernacle, all the people rose vp: and stode euery man at his tente dore: and loked after Moses, vntyll he was gone into the tabernacle.

text:
And Moses sayde vnto the Lorde: se, thou sayest vnto me: leade this people forth, and thou hast not shewed me whom thou wylte sende with me. And thou hast sayde moreouer: I knowe the by name, and thou hast also founde grace in my syght.


text:
Nowe therfore yf I haue founde fauoure in thy syght, then shewe me thy waye, that I maye knowe the, and that I maye fynde grace in thy syghte. And consyder also, that thys nacyon is thy people.


text:
for howe shall it be knowen here, that I and thy people haue founde fauoure in thy syght, but in that thou goest wt vs? Yf thou go with vs, shall not I and thy people haue preemynence before all the people that are vpon the face of the earth?


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: I will do this also that thou hast sayde, for thou hast founde grace in my syghte, and I knowe the by name.


text:
And he sayde: I wyll make all my good go before the, and I wyll be called in this name of the Lorde before the and will shewe mercy to whom I wyll shewe mercye, and wyll haue compassyon on whom I wyll haue compassion.

text:
There shall no man come vp wt the, neyther let any man be sene thorowout all the mount, neyther let shepe nor oxen fede before the hyll.


text:
And Moses hewed two tables of stone lyke vnto the fyrst, and rose vp early in the mornynge, and went vp vnto the mount of Sinai, as the Lorde had commaunded hym: and toke in his hande the two tables of stone.


text:
And the Lorde descended in the clowde, and stode with hym there: and he called vpon the name of the Lorde.

And when the Lord walked before him, he cryed, Lorde Lorde God, mercyfull and gracyous, long suffering, & aboundaunt in goodnes & trueth,

and sayde: If I haue founde grace in thy syght (O Lorde) then lett my Lorde go wt vs: for it is a stubburne people, and thou shalt haue mercy vpon oure wyckednes and oure synne, and shalt take vs for thyne enheritaunce.


text:
He sayde: beholde, I make an appoyntment before all thy people: and I will do maruaylles: soch as haue not bene done in all the worlde, neyther in all nacyons. And all the people amonge which thou art, shall se the worke of the Lorde: for it is a terryble thynge that I wyll do with the:

Take hede to thy selfe, that thou make no compacte with the inhabyters of the lande whether thou goest, lest it be cause of ruyne amonge you.

lest yf thou make any agrement with the inhabiters of the lande, and they goo a whoring after theyr goddes, and do sacrifice vnto theyr goddes, they call the, and thou eate of theyr sacrifice:

& thou take of their daughters vnto thy sonnes, and theyr daughters go a whoringe after theyr goddes,


text:
The feaste of swete bread shalt thou kepe. Seuen dayes thou shalt eate vnleuended bread, as I commaunded the in the tyme of the moneth, when corne begynneth to rype. For in the moneth when corne begynneth to ripe, thou camest out of Egipt.

All that breaketh vp the matryce is myne: and all that breaketh the matryce amonge thy catell, yf it be male: whether it be oxe or shepe.

If thou bringe also a meatofferynge that is baken in the ouen, let it be a swete cake of fyne floure myngled with oyle, or an vnleuened wafer anoynted wt oyle.

and sayde vnto Aaron: take the a calfe, a yonge one out of the droue, for synne, & a ram for a burntoffrynge: both wythout blemysh, and brynge them before the Lorde.


text:
And vnto the chyldren of Israel thou shalt speake, sayinge: take ye an he goote for synne, & a calfe and a lambe bothe two of a yeare olde, wythout blemysh for a burnt sacrifyce,


text:
and an oxe and a Ram for peaceoffrynges, to offer before the Lord, and a meateoffrynge myngled with oyle, for to daye the Lord will appere vnto you.


text:
And they brought that (which Moses commaunded) before the tabernacle of wytnesse, and all the congregacyon came and stode before the Lord.


text:
And Moses sayd: this is the thing, whych the Lorde commaunded that ye shulde do: and the glorye of the Lorde shall appeare vnto you.


text:
And Moses sayde vnto Aaron: go vnto the alter and offer thy sacrifyce for synne, and make an attonement for the and for the people: & thou shalt offer the offrynge of the people, to reconcyle them, as the Lorde commaunded.


text:
And the sonnes of Aaron broughte the bloude vnto hym, and he dypte hys fynger in the bloude, and put it vpon the hornes of the alter, and powred the bloude vnto the botome of the alter.


text:
But the fatt and the two kydneyes and the abundaunce of the lyuer of the synne offrynge, he burnt vpon the alter, as the Lorde commaunded Moses:


text:
And he slewe the burnt offrynge and Aarons sonnes brought vnto hym the bloude, whych he sprynkled rounde about vpon the alter.


text:
And they brought the burntoffrynge vnto hym with the peces therof, and the head: and he burnt it vpon the alter,


text:
And then he broughte the peoples offryng, takinge the goote that the people had for the sacrifyce of synne, and slewe it and offered it for synne, as he dyd the fyrst.


text:
and brought the meatoffrynge, and fylled hys hande therof, and burnt it vpon the alter, besyde the burntsacrifice of the mornynge.


text:
He slewe also the oxe & the Ram for the peace offrynge, that the people had for them selues: and Aarons sonnes brought vnto hym the bloude, whych he sprynkled vpon the alter rounde about,


text:
and toke the fatt of the oxe and of the Ram, the roumpe, and the fatt that couereth the inwardes and the kydneyes & the abundaunce of the lyuer:


text:
but the brestes and the ryght shoulders Aaron waued for a waueoffrynge before the Lorde, as the Lord commaunded Moses.


text:
And Aaron lyfte vp hys hande ouer the people, and blessed them, and came doune from offrynge of the synne offringe, burntoffringes & peace offrynges.


text:
And Moses & Aaron went in to the tabernacle of witnesse, & came out, and blessed the people, and the glorye of the Lorde appered vnto all the people.


text:
And there came a fyre out from before the Lorde, & consumed vpon the alter the burntoffryng & the fatt. Whych whan all the people sawe, they gaue thankes, and felle on theyr faces.


text:
And Nadab and Abihu the sonnes of Aaron toke ether of them his censor, & put fyre therin, & put cens ther vpon, & offred straunge fyre before the Lord whych he commaunded them not,


text:
Then Moses sayde vnto Aaron: thys is it that the Lorde spake sayinge: I wyll be sanctifyed in them that come nye me and before all the people I wilbe glorifyed. And Aaron helde hys peace.


text:
And Moses called Misael and Elsapham the sonnes of Oziel the vncle of Aaron, and sayde vnto them: come on, carye youre brethren from the holy place out of the hoste.


text:
And Moses sayde vnto Aaron and vnto Eleazar and Ithamar his sonnes vncouer not youre heedes, nether rent youre clothes, lest ye dye, and lest wrath come vpon all the people: But let youre brethren the hole housse of Israel bewepe the burnynge whych the Lord hath kyndled.


text:
And go not ye out from the dore of the tabernacle of wytnesse, lest ye dye: for the anoyntynge oyle of God is vpon you. And they dyd as Moses sayde.


text:
Thou shalt not drincke wyne & stronge dryncke, thou and thy sonnes that are wyth the: when ye go into the tabernacle of wytnesse, lest ye dye. Let it be a lawe for euer thorowe out youre generacyons,


text:
& that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes whych the Lorde hath spoken vnto them by the hande of Moses.


text:
And Moses sayde vnto Aaron and vnto Eleazar and Ithamar hys sonnes that were lefte: take the meatoffrynge that remayneth of the sacrifyces of the Lorde, and eate it wythout leuen besyde the alter, for it is most holy:


text:
ye shall eate it in the holy place, because it is thy dutye and thy sonnes dutye of the sacrifyces of the Lorde: for so I am commaunded.


text:
And the wauebrest and heueshoulder shall ye eate in a cleane place: thou and thy sonnes and thy daughters with the. For they be thy dutye and thy sonnes dutye geuen out of the peaceoffrynges of the chyldren of Israel.


text:
The heueshoulder and the wauebrest shall they brynge in wyth the sacryfyces of the fatt, to waue it before the Lorde, and it shalbe thyne and thy sonnes wyth the: by a lawe for euer, as the Lorde hath commaunded.


text:
And Moses sought the goate that was offred for synne, and se, it was burnt. And he was angrye with Eleazar and Ithamar the sonnes of Aaron, whyche were lefte alyue, sayinge:


text:
wherfore haue ye not eaten the synne offerynge in the holy place, seynge it is moost holye: and God hath geuen it you, to bere the synne of the congregacyon, to make agrement for them before the Lord?


text:
Beholde, the bloud of it was not brought in within the holy place. Ye shulde haue eaten it in the holy place, as I commaunded.


text:
And Aaron sayde vnto Moses: beholde, thys daye haue they offered theyr synneoffrynge and theyr burntoffrynge before the Lorde, and it is chaunced me after thys maner. And yf I had eaten the sacrifyce to daye, shulde it haue bene accepted in the syght of the Lorde?


text:
speake vnto the children of Israel, & saye these are the beastes whych ye shall eate, amonge all the catell that are on the earth:


text:
whatsoeuer parteth the hoofe, and deuydeth it into two clawes, and chaweth cud amonge the beastes, that shall ye eate.


text:
Neuerthelesse, these shall ye not eate, of them that chewe cud, & deuydeth the hoofes: as is the camell, whych chaweth cud, but he deuydeth not the hoofe, therfore is he vncleane vnto you,


text:
And the hare though he chawe the cud, yet because he deuideth not the hoofe, he is therfore vncleane to you.


text:
And agayne, the swyne, though he deuyde the hoffe in to two clawes, yet he chaweth not the cud. He is vncleane to you.


text:
Of theyr fleshe shall ye not eate, & theyr carkasses shall ye not touche, but let them be vncleane to you.


text:
These shall ye eate of all that are in the waters: whatsoeuer hath synnes and skales in the waters, sees and ryuers, that shall ye eate.


text:
And all that haue not fynnes and skales in the see and ryuers, of all that moue and lyue in the waters, let them be abhominacyon vnto you:


text:
These are they whych ye shall abhorre amonge the foules, and that ought not to be eaten, for they are an abhomynacyon. The egle, the goshauke, & the cormoraunte,


text:
Yet these maye ye eate, of euery crepynge thynge that hath wynges and goo apon foure fete: euen those that haue knees aboue vpon theyr fete, to lepe wyth all vpon the erthe,


text:
euen these of them ye maye eate the. Arbe after hys kynde: the Selaam after hys kynde: the Hargol after hys kynde, and the Hagab after hys kynde.


text:
And euery beast that hath hoofe and deuydeth it not into two clawes, ner chaweth cud, suche are vnclene vnto you: euery one that toucheth them, shalbe vncleane.


text:
And what soeuer goeth vpon hys handes amonge all maner beastes that goo on all foure fete, such are vnclene vnto you: & who so doth touche theyr carkasse shalbe vnclene vntyll the euen.


text:
And he that beareth the carkasse of them, shall wasshe hys clothes & be vncleane vntyll the euen, for soche are vncleane vnto you.


text:
And let these also be vncleane to you, amonge the thynges that crepe vpon the erth, the weasell, and the mouse, & the toade, after theyr kynde,


text:
these are vncleane to you amonge all that crepe: whosoeuer doth touche them when they be dead, shalbe vncleane vntyll the euen.


text:
And whatsoeuer any of the dead carkasses of them doth fall vpon, shalbe vncleane: whether it be vessell of wodd, or rayment, or skynne, or bagge, or what soeuer vessell it be that any worke is wroughte in. And it must be plunged in the water, & it shall be vncleane vntyll the euen, and so shall it be clensed.


text:
All maner of erthen vessell wherinto any of them falleth, shalbe vncleane, wyth all that ther in is: and it shall be broken.


text:
All maner meate also that is vsed to be eaten yf any soche water come vpon it, it shalbe vncleane. And all maner dryncke that is vsed to be droncke in all maner soche vessels, shalbe vncleane.


text:
And euery thynge that theyr carcase falleth vpon, shalbe vncleane: Whether it be ouen or kettell, let it be broken. For they are vncleane, and shalbe vncleane vnto you:


text:
Neuerthelater, yet the fountaynes and welles & collection of waters shalbe cleane still. And whoso toucheth theyr carkasse, shall be vncleane.


text:
but and yf any water be powred vpon the seed, & a deed carkesse fall theron, it shalbe vncleane vnto you.


text:
If any beast of whych ye maye eate, dye and any man touche the dead carkasse therof, he shalbe vncleane vntyll the euen.


text:
He that eateth of the dead carkasse of it, shall wasshe hys clothes and be vncleane vntyll the euen. And he also that beareth the carkasse of it, shall wasshe his clothes, and be vncleane vntyll euen.


text:
Whatsoeuer goeth vpon the brest, and whatsoeuer goeth vpon foure, or that hath moo fete amonge all crepynge thynges that crepe vpon the erth, of that se ye eate not for they are abhomynable.


text:
Ye shall not make youre soules abhominable wyth nothing that crepeth, nether make your selues vncleane wyth them: that ye shulde be defyled therby.


text:
For I am the Lorde youre God. Be sanctifyed therfore, and ye shall be holy for I am holy: and ye shall not defyle youre soules wyth any maner of crepynge thynge, that crepeth vpon the erth.


text:
For I am the Lorde, that brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to be youre God: ye shall be holy therfore, for I am holy.


text:
Thys is the lawe of beastes and foules & of euery lyuynge creature that moueth in the waters, and of euery creature that crepeth vpon the erth,


text:
that there maye be a difference betwene the vncleane & clene, and betwene the beaste that maye be eaten, & the beaste that ought not to be eaten.


text:
speake vnto the chyldren of Israel and saye: yf a woman hath conceaued, & borne a manchylde, she shalbe vncleane seuen dayes: euen in lyke maner as when she is put a parte in tyme of hyr naturall dysease.


text:
And she shall then contynue in the bloude of hyr puryfyenge thre and thyrtye dayes. She shall touche no halowed thynge, nor come into the sanctuary, vntyll the tyme of hyr purifyenge be out.


text:
If she bere a maydechylde, she shalbe vnclene two wekes, as when she hath hyr naturall dysease. And she shall contynue in the bloude of hyr purifyenge thre score and syxe dayes.


text:
And when the dayes of hyr purifyenge are out: whether it be for a sonne or for a daughter, she shall brynge a lambe of one yeare olde for a burntoffringe, and a younge pigeon or a turtyll doue for synne vnto the dore of the tabernacle of wytnesse and vnto the Preaste:


text:
whych shall offer them before the Lorde, and make an attonement for her, and she shalbe pourged of the yssue of hyr bloude. And thys is the lawe for her that hath borne a male or female.


text:
But and yf she be not able to brynge a lambe, she shall brynge two turtyls or two younge pygeons: the one for the burntoffringe, and the other for synne. And the Preaste shall make an attonement for her, and she shalbe clene.


text:
when there appeareth a rysynge in any mans fleshe, ether a scabbe, or a glystrynge whyte: and the plage of leprosye be in the skynne of hys fleshe, he shall be brought vnto Aaron the Preaste, or vnto one of hys sonnes the Preastes:


text:
and the Preaste shall loke on the sore in the skynne of hys fleshe. And whan the heere in the sore is turned vnto whyte, and the sore also seme to be lower then the skynne of his flesh, it wyll be a plage of leprosye, and the Preaste shall loke on hym, and iudge hym vnclene.


text:
If there be but a whyte plecke in the skynne of hys flesh, and seme not to be lower then the skynne, nor the heere therof is turned vnto whyte, the Preaste shall shut him vp seuen dayes.


text:
And the Preaste shall loke vpon hym agayne the seuenth daye: And yf the plage seme to him to abyde still, & the plage growe not in the skynne the Preast shall shutt him vp yet .vij. dayes moo.


text:
And the Preast shall loke on hym agayne the .vij. daye. Then yf the plage be darcker, & not growen in the skynne, the Preast shall iudge hym clene, for it is but a skyrf. And he shall washe his clothes, & be clene,


text:
But & yf the scabbe growe in the skynne after that he is sene of the Preast, & iudged clene, he shalbe sene of the prest agayne.


text:
If the preast se that the scabbe be growen abrode in the skynne, the prest shall make hym vnclene: for it is a leprosye.


text:
and the Preast shall se hym. And yf the rysynge be white in the skynne, and haue made the heare whyte, and there be rawe fleshe in the sor


text:
it wylbe an olde leprosye in the skynne of his flesh. And the Preast shall make hym vnclene, and shall not shutte hym vp seynge he is vnclene.


text:
If a leprosye breake out abrode in the skynne, & couer all the skynne, from hys heed to hys foote, whersouer the Preast loketh,


text:
and the Preast loke vpon him. And yf the leprosye haue couered all hys flesh, he shall iudge the plage to be clene because it is all turned into whytnesse, & he shalbe cleane.


text:
And the Preast shall se the rawe flesh, and declare him to be vnclene. For the rawe flesh is vnclene seynge it is a leprosye.


text:
and the preast shall se him & beholde: If the soore be chaunged vnto whyte the Preast shall iudge the plage cleane & he shalbe cleane:


text:
& in the place of the byle there appeare a whyte rysynge, ether a shynynge whyte & som what reddish, it shall be sene of the Preast.


text:
And yf when the Preast seyth hym, it appeare lower than the skynne, & the heare therof be chaunged vnto whyte, the Preast shall iudge hym vncleane: for it is a plage of leprosye, broken out of the byle.


text:
But & yf the Preast loke on it and there be no whyte heares therin, & yf it be not lower then the skynne, but be darcker, the Preast shall shutt hym vp .vij. dayes.


text:
But and yf the spot stonde styll, & growe not, it is the prynte of an hote byle, and therfore the prest shall declare hym to be cleane.


text:
Yf there be any flesh, in whose skynne there is a hote burnynge, and the flesh that burneth haue a whyte spott, som what reddysh or whyte,


text:
the prest shall loke vpon it. And yf the heare in that bryght spot be chaunged to whyte, and it appeare lower then the skynne, it is a leprosye broken out of the burnynge. And therfore the Preaste shall iudge hym vncleane, seynge it is the plage of leprosye.


text:
But yf the preast loke on it & there be no whyte heare in the bryghte spott, and be no lower then the other skynne, but be darcker, the preast shall shut him vp seuen dayes.


text:
And the preast shall loke on hym the seuenth daye: And yf it be growen abroad in the skynne, the preast shall iudge hym vncleane, seynge it is the plage of leprosye.


text:
And yf the spot stonde styll in it, & growe not in the skynne, but is darcke, it is a rysynge of the burnynge, & the Preast shall therfore declare hym cleane, seynge it is the prynte of the burnynge.


text:
And yf it appeare lower than the skynne, & ther be in it a yalowe heare: & thynne the Preast shall iudge him vncleane, seynge that the same fretynge is a token of leprosye vpon the heed or berde.


text:
And yf the preast loke on the sore of the prynt, and it seme not lower then the skynne, and that the heare is not blacke, the Preast shall shut vp the frettynge sore seuen dayes.


text:
And in the seuenth daye the preste shall loke on the sore: and yf the sore be not growen, and there be in it no yalowe hayre, and the sore seme not lower then the skynne,


text:
he shalbe shauen: but the place of the sore shall he not shaue, & the prest shall shut vp the sore seuen dayes moo.


text:
And in the seuenth daye the preste shall loke on the sore: And if the sore be not growen in the skynne, ner seme lower then the other skynne, the preste shall clense hym, & he shall washe hys clothes, and be clene.


text:
the preste shall loke on hym. And yf the sore be growne in the skynne, the preste shall not seke for yelowe heare, for he is vnclene.


text:
But if he se the prynte stonde styll, and that there is blacke heare growne vp therin, the sore is healed, and he shalbe cleane, and the prest shall declare hym to be cleane.


text:
the preast shall loke vpon it. And yf the spottes in the skynne of theyr fleshe be som what darcke & whyte wythall, it is a frekell growynge in the fleshe: Therfore is he cleane.


text:
If there be in the baulde heed or baulde foreheed a whyte reddysh sore scabbe, there is leprosye spronge vp in hys baulde heed or baulde foreheede.


text:
And the preast shall loke vpon him, and yf the rysynge of the sore be whyte reddysh in hys baulde heed or balde foreheed after the maner of a leprosye which is in the skynne of the fleshe,


text:
then he is a leperous man and vncleane. And the Preaste shall make hym vncleane, for the plage therof is in hys heed.


text:
The leper in whome the plage is, shall haue hys clothes rent, and hys heed bare and shall put a couerynge vpon hys lyppe, and shalbe called vnclene and defyled.


text:
And as longe as the dysease lasteth vpon hym, he shalbe defyled and vncleane: he shall dwell alone, euen wythout the host shall hys habitacyon be.


text:
whether it be in the warpe or woofe of lynen or of wollen: ether in a skynne or any thynge made of skynne,


text:
yf the dysease be pale or som what reddysh in the cloth or skynne: whether it be in the warpe or woofe or any thynge that is made of skynne, then it is a plage of leprosye, and shall be shewed vnto the preaste.


text:
and loke on the plage the seuenth daye. Whych yf it be increased in the cloth (whether it be in the warpe or woofe, or in a skynne) or in any thynge that is made of skynne it is the leprosy of a fretinge sore: it is vncleane:


text:
& that cloth shalbe burnt, ether warpe or woofe whether it be wollen or lynnen, or any thynge that is made of skynne, where in the plage is, for it is a frettynge leprosye, it shalbe burnt in the fyre.


text:
If the Preaste se that the plage is not growen in the cloth: ether in the warpe or woofe or in whatsoeuer thynge of skynne it be,


text:
the preast shall commaunde them to wasshe the thynge wherin the plage is, and he shall shut it vp seuen dayes moo.


text:
And the preaste shall loke on the plage agayne, after that it is washed. And yf the plage haue not chaunged hys coloure, and is sprede no further abrode, it is vncleane. Thou shall burne it in the fyre, for it is freat in warde: in parte or in all together.


text:
And yf the Preaste se that the plage is darcker after that it is wasshed, he shall rent it out of the cloth, or out of the skynne, or out of the warpe or out of the woofe.


text:
And yf it appeare any moare in the cloth (ether in the warpe or in the woofe or in any thynge made of skynne) it is a waxinge plage. Thou shalt burne the plage that is in it.


text:
Moreouer the cloth, ether warpe or woofe or whatsoeuer thynge of skynne it be whych thou hast wasshed, yf the plage be departed there from, it shalbe wasshed once agayne: and then shall it be cleane.


text:
Thys is the lawe of the plage of leprosye in a cloth whether it be wollen or lynnen: eyther in the warpe or woofe, or in any thynge of skynnes, to make it cleane or vncleane.


text:
sayinge: thys is the lawe of the leper in the daye of hys clensynge: He shalbe brought vnto the preaste,


text:
and the preaste shall go out wythout the hoste, and loke vpon hym. And yf the plage of leprosye be healed in the leper,


text:
then shall the Preaste commaunde that he whych is to be clensed, brynge two lyuynge byrdes and cleane, and cedar wodd, and purple cloth, and ysope.


text:
And the Preaste shall commaunde that one of the byrdes be kylled in an erthen vessell & vpon rennynge water.


text:
And he shall take the lyuynge byrde with the cedar wodd, the purple and the ysope, and shall dyppe them and the lyuynge byrde in the bloude of the slayne byrde, vpon the rennynge water,


text:
and sprynkle vpon hym (that must be clensed of hys leprosye) seuen tymes, and clense hym, and shall let the lyuynge byrde goo fre into the felde.


text:
And he that is clensed, shall wasshe hys clothes, and shaue of all hys heere, and wash hym selfe in water, that he maye be cleane. And after that shall he come into the hoste, & shall tarye wythout hys tent seuen dayes:


text:
but in the seuenth daye he shall shaue of all hys heere, namely, hys head, hys berde and hys browes: euen all hys heere shalbe shauen of. And he shall wasshe hys clothes & hys fleshe in water and he shalbe cleane.


text:
In the eyght daye he shall take two lambes wythout blemyshe, and an yewe lambe of a yeare olde without blemysh, and thre tenthdeales of fyne floure for a meatoffrynge myngled wyth oyle and a logge of oyle.

And the Preaste that maketh hym cleane, shall brynge the man that is to be made cleane and those thynges, before the Lorde, euen before the dore of the tabernacle of wytnesse.


text:
And the Preaste shall take one lambe, and offer hym for trespace, & the logge of oyle, and waue them before the Lorde.


text:
And he shall slee the lambe in the place where the synneoffrynge and the burntoffrynge are slayne: euen in the holy place. For as the synne offryng is, euen so is the trespace offrynge the preastes: seyng it is moost holy.


text:
And the preaste shall take of the bloude of the trespace offrynge, & put it vpon the typpe of the ryght eare of hym that is to be clensed, & vpon the thombe of hys ryght hande, and vpon the great too of hys ryghte foote.

And of the rest of the oyle that is in hys hande, shall the Preaste put vpon the typpe of the ryghte eare of hym that is for to be clensed, and vpon the thombe of hys ryghte hande, and vpon the great too of hys ryghte fote: euen vpon the bloude of the trespace offrynge.


text:
And the remnaunte of the oyle that is in the Preastes hande, he shall powre vpon the heed of hym that is for to be clensed: and the Preaste shall make an attonement for hym before the Lorde.


text:
And the Preaste shall offer the synne offrynge, and make an attonement for hym that is to be clensed, for hys vnclennesse. And then shall he kyll the burntoffrynge,


text:
and the Preaste shall offre the burntoffrynge and the meatoffrynge vpon the alter: & the preste shall make an attonement for hym, and he shalbe cleane.


text:
If he be poore, and can not gett so moche, he shall take one lambe for a trespace offrynge to waue it for hys clensynge, and a tenth deale of fyne floure myngled wyth oyle for a meatoffrynge, and a logge of oyle,

and two turtyll doues or two yonge pigeons, suche as he is able to gett, wherof the one shalbe for synne, and the other for a burntoffrynge.


text:
And he shall brynge them the .viij. daye for hys clensynge vnto the Preaste before the dore of the tabernacle of witnesse before the Lorde.


text:
And the Preaste shall take the lambe that is for the trespace, and the logge of oyle, and waue them before the Lorde.


text:
And he shall kyll the lambe for the trespace, and the Preaste shall take of the bloude of the trespaceoffrynge, and put it vpon the typpe of hys ryghte eare that is to be clensed, and vpon the thombe of hys ryghte hande, and vpon the greate too of hys ryght fote.


text:
and the preste shall wyth hys fynger sprynkle of the oyle that is in hys lefte hande, seuen tymes before the Lorde.


text:
And the Preaste shall put of the oyle that is in hys hande vpon the typpe of the ryghte eare of hym that is to be clensed, and vpon the thombe of hys ryghte hande, and vpon the great too of hys ryghte fote: euen in the place where the bloude of the trespaceoffringe was put.


text:
And the reste of the oyle that is in the prestes hande, he shall put vpon the heed of hym that is to be clensed: that he maye make on attonement for him before the Lorde.


text:
the one for a synne offerynge and the other for a burntoffrynge wyth the meatofferynge. And the Preaste shall make an attonement for hym that is to be clensed before the Lorde.


text:
Thys is the lawe of hym in whom is the plage of leprosye, and whose hande is not able to gett that whych pertayneth to hys clensynge.


text:
when ye be come vnto the lande of Canaan whych I geue you in possessyon. And yf I put the plage of leprosye in a house of the lande of youre possessyon,

he that oweth the house shall come, and tell the preaste, sayinge: me thynke that there is as it were a leprosy in the house.


text:
And the preaste shall commaunde them to emptie the house, before the Preaste goo into it to se the plage: that all that is in the house be not made vncleane, and then must the Preaste go in to se the house.
