text:
And yet for all that when they be in the lande of their enemyes, I will not cast them awaye, neyther will abhorre them, to destroye them vtterly, and to breake myne appoyntment with them: for I am the Lorde their God.


text:
I wyll for their sakes remembre the couenaunt made vnto their fathers, whom I brought out of the lande of Egypte in the syghte of the hethen, that I myght be their God: I am the Lorde.


text:
These are the ordinaunces, and iudgementes, and lawes, which the Lorde made betwene him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai, by the hande of Moses.


text:
speake vnto the children of Israel, and saye vnto them: If any man will geue a synguler vowe vnto the Lord accordynge to the value of the soules,


text:
the value of the male from twentye yeare olde vnto sixtye shalbe fyftie sycles of siluer, after the weyght of the sanctuary.


text:
And from fyue yeares to twentye, the male shalbe set at twentye sicles, and the female at ten sycles.


text:
And from a moneth vnto fyue yeare, the male shalbe set at fyue sycles of syluer, and the female at thre.


text:
But If he be to poore so to be set, he shall present himselfe before the preast: & the preast shall value him, accordinge as the hande of him that vowed is able to gett, euen so shall the prest value him.


text:
If it be a beaste of which men bringe an offrynge vnto the Lorde: all that any man geueth of soche vnto the Lorde, shalbe counted holy.


text:
He shall not alter it nor chaunge it: a good for a bad, or a bad for a good. And yf he chaunge beast for beast, then both the same beast and it also wherwith it was chaunged shalbe holy.


text:
If it be any maner of vnclene beast, of which men do not offer a sacrifyce vnto the Lord, he shall set the beast before the preast,


text:
and the preast shall value it, whether it be good or bad. And as the preast setteth it, so shall it be.


text:
If any man dedicate his house, to be holy vnto the Lord, the preast shall set it, whether it be good or bad: and as the preast hath set it, so shall the value be.


text:
And whan he that sanctifyed it wyll redeme hys house, lett hym geue the fyft parte of the money that it was iudged at therto, and it shalbe hys.


text:
If a man halowe a pece of hys enhereted lande vnto the Lorde, it shalbe set accordynge to the sede therof. If it beare an homer of barlye, it shalbe set at fyftie sycles of syluer.


text:
If he halowe his felde immediatly from the yeare of iubely, it shalbe worth accordinge as it is estemed.


text:
But and yf he halowe hys felde after the Iubelye, the preast shall recken the money accordinge to the nombre of the yeares that remayne vnto the yeare of Iubely folowynge, & there after it shall be lower sett.


text:
If he that consecrated the felde, wyll redeme it agayne, let hym put the fyft parte of the pryce that it was set at there vnto,


text:
and it shalbe hys, And yf he wyll not redeme the felde, but selleth the felde to another man, he maye redeme it nomore.


text:
But when the felde goeth out in the yeare of iubelye, it shalbe made holy vnto the Lord: euen as a felde that is vtterly put awaye, and it shall be the preastes possessyon.


text:
the preast shall reken vnto hym what it is worth vnto the yeare of iubelye, & he shall geue the pryce that it is set at, the same daye, as a thynge consecrated vnto the Lorde.


text:
And in the yeare of iubelye, the felde shall returne vnto him of whome he boughte it, euen to him, whose enheritaunce of land it is.


text:
And all settynge shalbe accordynge to the cycle of the sanctuary. One sycle conteyneth twenye halfpens.


text:
But the fyrst borne of the beastes that is appoynted vnto the Lorde, maye no man sanctifye: whether it be oxe or shepe, for it is the Lordes allredy.


text:
If it be an vncleane beast, he shall redeme it, as it is sett at, and geue the fyfth parte moare therto: Or, yf it be not redemed, it shalbe solde, accordynge to the value.


text:
Notwithstandynge, no damned thynge that a man putteth from hym and dedycateth vnto the Lorde, of all his good (whether it be man or beast or lande of hys enheritaunce) maye be sold or redemed: for euery thinge so put awaye, is most holy vnto the Lorde.


text:
Euery tyth of the lande whych is of the sede of the lande, or of the frute of the trees, is the Lordes, and is sanctified vnto the Lord.


text:
And euery tyth of oxe and of shepe and of euery beest that goeth vnder the rodd euen euery tenth shalbe holy vnto the Lord.


text:
He shall not loke yf it be good or bad, ner chaunge it. Els, yf he chaunge it, both it, and that it was chaunged withall, shalbe halowed vnto the Lorde, and maye not be redemed.


text:
These are the commaundementes, whych the Lorde commaunded by Moses vnto the chyldren of Israel in mount Sinai.

then let the man brynge his wyfe vnto the Preaste, and brynge wyth her an offerynge for her: the tenthe parte of an Epha of barlye meale, but let him powre none oyle vpon it, nor put frankencens theron: for it is an offerynge of gelousye, an offerynge for a remembrauce, causynge the synne to be thought vpon.

And let the Preaste wryte these curses: And whan they be clensed, let him cast them in to bytter waters,

text:
he shall not make hym selfe vncleane at the death of hys father, mother, brother or syster: because that the vowe of the abstinence of hys God is vpon hys heade.

And yf it fortune that any man by chaunce dye sodenly before hym, the heed of hys abstinence shalbe defyled, and he shall shaue hys heed the daye of hys clensynge: euen the seuenth daye he shall shaue it.

and shall offer the ram for a peaceofferynge vnto the Lorde, wyth the basket of swete breed, and the Preaste shall offer also his meat offerynge and his drinckofferynge.

And he shall shaue the heed of the absteyner in the dore of the Tabernacle of wytnesse: euen the heed of his abstinence, and shall take the heere of his sober heed, and put it in the fyre, which is vnder the peaceofferynge.

And the preaste shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one swete cake out of the basket, and one swete wafer also, and put them vpon the handes of the absteyner (after he hath shauen his abstinence of)

but euen a moneth longe, vntyll it come out at the nastrels of you: and make you to parbrake, because that ye haue cast the Lorde asyde which is amonge you: and haue wepte before hym, saying: why came we thus oute of Egipte?


text:
And Moses sayde: syxe hundred thousande fotmen are there of the people, among which I am. And thou hast sayd: I wyll geue them flesh, that they maye eate a moneth longe.


text:
Shall the shepe & the oxen be slayne for them, to fynde them? ether, shall all the fysh of the see be gathered together for them to serue them?


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: Shall the Lordes hande be waxed shorte? Thou shalt se nowe whither my word shall come to passe vnto the, or not.


text:
And Moses went out, and tolde the people the saying of the Lorde, and gathred the .lxx. elders of the people, and set them rounde aboute the tabernacle.


text:
And the Lorde came downe in a cloud, and spake vnto hym, and toke of the sprete that was vpon hym, and gaue it vnto the .lxx. elders. And it fortuned that when the sprete rested vpon them, they prophecied, & did not ceasse.


text:
But there remayned two of the men in the hoost: the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the sprete rested vpon them, and they were of them that were wrytten, and went not out vnto the tabernacle, but prophecied in the hoost.


text:
And Iosua the sonne of Nun the seruaunt of Moses one of hys yonge men, answered & sayde: master Moses, forbyd them.


text:
And Moses sayde vnto hym: enuyest thou for my sake? wolde God that all the Lordes people coulde prophecye, and that the Lorde wold put hys sprete vpon them.


text:
And there went forth a wynde from the Lorde: and brought quayles from the see: and let them fall about the hoost, euen a daies iorney rounde about on euery syde of the hoost, and as it were two cubites hye ouer the erth.


text:
And the people stode vp, and all that day and all the nyght, and on the morowe they gathered quayles. And he that gathred a lytle, gathred ten homers ful. And they spred them abrode rounde aboute the hoost.


text:
And whyle the flesh was yet betwene their teth, and yer it was chewed vp: beholde, the countenaunce of the Lorde was moued agaynst the people, & the Lord slewe the people with an exceadynge great plage.


text:
And the name of the place was called, the graues of lust, because they buryed the people that lusted, there.


text:
And Mir Iam and Aaron spake agaynst Moses, because of the woman of Inde which he had taken: for he had taken to wyfe one of Inde.


text:
And they sayde: Hath the Lorde in dede spoken only thorow Moses? Hath he not spoken also by vs? And the Lorde hearde it.


text:
And the Lorde spake at once vnto Moses vnto Aaron and to Mir Iam: come out ye thre vnto the tabernacle of witnes, and they came out all thre.


text:
And the Lorde came downe in the pyller of the cloude, and stode in the dore of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and MirIam: And they went out both of them.


text:
And he said: heare my wordes. If there be a prophete of the Lordes amonge you, I wylbe knowne of him in a visyon: and wyll speake vnto him in slepe.


text:
Unto him wil I speake mouth to mouth in a visyon: but in rydels and symylitudes doth not he se the Lord. Wherfore then were ye not afrayed to speake agaynst my seruaunt Moses?


text:
and the cloude departed from the tabernacle. And beholde, Mir Iam was become leprous, as it were snowe. And Aaron looked vpon Mir Iam, and beholde, she was leprous,


text:
and Aaron sayde vnto Moses: I besech the my Lorde, put not the synne vpon vs, which we haue folishly commytted and synned.


text:
Oh, let her not be as one that commeth out of hys mothers wombe, and whose halfe flesh is eaten awaye.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: If her father had spyt in her face, shulde she not be ashamed seuen dayes? let her be shutte out of the hoost seuen dayes, and after that, let her be receaued in agayne.


text:
And Mir Iam was shut out of the hoost seuen dayes: and the people remoued not, tyll she was brought in agayn.


text:
Sende men out to searche the lande of Canaan, which I geue vnto the chyldren of Israel: of euery trybe of their fathers shall ye sende a man, and let them all be suche as are rulars among them.


text:
And Moses at the commaundement of the Lorde sent forth out of the wyldernes of Pharan suche men as were all heades of the chyldren of Israel: Their names are these.


text:
These are the names of the men, which Moses sent to spye oute the lande. And Moses called the name of Osea the sonne of Nun, Iosua.


text:
And Moses sent them forth to spye oute the lande of Canaan, and sayde vnto them: get you vp thys waye southwarde, that ye maye go vp into the hye contrey,


text:
and se the lande what maner thyng it is, & the people that dwelleth therin: whyther they be stronge or weake, ether fewe or many,


text:
and what the lande is that they dwell in, whyther it be good or bad: and what maner of cyties they be, that they dwell in, whyther they dwell in tentes or walled townes:


text:
and what maner of lande it is: whether it be fat or leane, and whether there be trees therin or not. Be of a good corage, and brynge of the frute of the lande. And it was about the tyme that grapes are fyrst rype.


text:
And so they went vp, & searched out the lande from the wildernesse of Zin vnto Rehob, as men come to Hemath,


text:
& they ascended vnto the south, and came vnto Hebron, where Ahiman was & Sesai & Thalmani, the sonnes of Enack. Hebron was buylt seuen yere before Zoan in Egipt.


text:
And they came vnto the ryuer of Escol, and cut downe there a braunch with one cloustre of grapes and twayne bare it vpon a staffe: and they brought also of the pomgranates and of the fygges.


text:
And the place was called the ryuer Escol: because of the cloustre of grapes which the children of Israel cut downe thence.


text:
And they went and came to Moses and Aaron, and vnto all the multitude of the chyldren of Israel, in the wildernes of Pharan: which is Cades, and brought them worde, and also vnto all the congregacion, and shewed them the frute of the lande.


text:
And they tolde hym, and sayde: we came vnto the lande whether thou sendedst vs, and surely it floweth with mylke and honye: and here is of the frute of it.


text:
Neuerthelesse, the people be stronge that dwell in the lande, and the cityes are walled and exceadynge greate: and moreouer, we sawe the children of Enack there.


text:
The Amaleckes dwell in the south contrey, and the Hethites, Iebusites, & the Amorites dwell in the mountaynes, & the Cananites dwell by the see, and by the coaste of Iordan.


text:
And Caleb stylled the of the people before Moses, saying: we wyll go vp, and conquerre it: for we be able to ouercome it.


text:
But the men that went vp with hym, sayde: We be not able to go vp against the people: for they are stronger than we.


text:
And they brought vp an euell reporte of the lande which they had searched, saying vnto the children of Israel: The land which we haue gone thorowe to searche it out, is a lande that eateth vp the inhabiters therof: and the people that we sawe in it, are men of a greate stature.


text:
And there we sawe also gyauntes, the chyldren of Enack, which come of the gyauntes. And we semed in oure syght as it were greshoppers, and so we did in theyr syght.


text:
and all the chyldren of Israel murmured agaynst Moses and Aaron. And the whole congregacyon sayde vnto them: wolde God that we hadd dyed in the lande of Egypte, eyther that we had dyed in thys wildernes.


text:
Wherfore hath the Lorde brought vs vnto thys lande to fall vpon the swearde: and that our wyues, and oure children shulde be a praye? Were it not better, that we retourne vnto Egypte agayne?


text:
But Moses and Aaron fell on theyr faces before all the congregacyon and multytude of the chyldren of Israel.


text:
And Iosua the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephune (which were of them that searched the lande) rent theyr clothes,


text:
and spake vnto all the companye of the chyldren of Israel, sayinge: The lande which we walked thorowe to searche it, is a very good lande.


text:
If the Lorde hath lust to vs, he wyll brynge vs into this lande and geue it vs, which is such a lande as floweth with mylke and honye,


text:
But in any wyse rebell not ye agaynst the Lorde. Neyther nede ye to feare the people of the lande: for they are but bread for vs. Theyr shadowe is departed from them, and the Lorde is with vs, feare them not therfore.


text:
But all they which were in that multytude, bade stone them with stones. And the glorye of the Lorde appeared in the tabernacle of wytnesse, before all the chyldren of Israel.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: How longe do this people prouoke me, and howe longe will it be yer they beleue me: for all the signes which I haue shewed among them?


text:
I wyll smyte them with the pestilence and destroie them: and wyll make of the a greater nacion and a myghtier then they.


text:
And Moses sayde vnto the Lorde: then the Egipcyans shall heare it, for thou broughtest thys people in thy myght from amonge them.


text:
And it wylbe tolde to the inhabyters of this lande also: for they haue hearde lykewyse, that thou Lorde art amonge this people: and that thou Lorde art sene face to face, and that thy cloude standeth ouer them, and that thou goest before them by daye tyme in a pyller of a cloude, and in a pyller of fyer by nyght.


text:
If thou shalt kyll all thys people as they were but one man, then the nacyons which haue hearde the fame of the, wyll saye:


text:
The Lorde is not able to brynge in this people into the lande which he sware vnto them: but hath slayne them in the wildernesse.


text:
the Lorde is longe yer he be angrye, and full of mercy, and suffereth iniquitie, and synne, and leaueth no man innocent, and visiteth the vnryghteousnesse of the fathers vpon the chyldren, in the third and fourth generacyon:


text:
be mercyfull I beseche the vnto the synne of thys people, accordynge vnto thy greate mercye, as thou hast forgeuen this people from Egipt, euen vntyll nowe.


text:
But all those men which haue sene my glory and my miracles which I dyd in Egipt and in the wildernes and haue tempted me nowe thys .x. tymes, and will not herken vnto my voyce,


text:
shall not se the lande which I sware vnto their fathers: nether shall any of them that prouoked me se it.


text:
But my seruaunt Caleb: with whom there was another maner of sprete: and because he hath folowed me vnto the vtmost, hym will I brynge into the lande whiche he hath walked in, and his seed shall inheret it,


text:
and also the Amalekites & Cananites whiche dwell in the playne contreye. Tomorowe turne you, and get you into the wildernesse: euen by the waye of the redd see.


text:
I haue heard the murmuringes of the chyldren of Israel with the which they murmur agaynst me. Tell them therfore: As truly as I lyue (sayth the Lorde) I will do vnto you, euen as ye haue spoken in myne eares.


text:
Youre carkasses shall lye in this wildernes. And all you that were tolde thorowout your nombres, from .xx. yeare and aboue (which haue murmured against me)


text:
shalt not come into the land, ouer which I lyfted vp myne hande, to make you dwell therin, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, and Iosua the sonne of Nun.


text:
But your children which ye saye shulde be a praye, them I will bring in, & they shall knowe the land which ye haue refused,


text:
And your children shall wander in this wildernes .xl. yeres, & suffer for your whordom, vntyll your carkasses be wasted in the wildernes,


text:
after the nombre of the dayes in which ye searched out the lande euen fourty daies, euery daye for a yeare shall ye beare your vnrighteousnes euen .xl. yeare, and ye shall knowe my displeasure.


text:
I the Lorde haue sayde that I wyll do it vnto all thys euell congregacion that are gathered together agaynst me. For in this wildernes they shalbe consumed, and here they shall dye.


text:
And the men which Moses sent to search the lande, & which (when they came agayne) made all the people to murmure before hym, and brought vp a sclaunder vpon the lande,


text:
euen those men that did bring vp that sclaunder vpon it, as though it had bene euell dyed in a greate plage before the Lord.


text:
But Iosua the sonne of Nun & Calleb the sonne of Iephune which were of the men that wente to search the lande, lyued styll.


text:
And they rose vp early in the morninge, and gat them vp into the toppe of the mountayne, sayinge: lo, we be here, and wyll go vp vnto the place of which the Lorde sayde vnto vs, for we haue synned.


text:
And Moses sayde: wherfore wyll ye go on thys maner, beyonde the worde of the Lorde? it will not come well to passe:


text:
For the Amaleckytes and the Cananites are there before you, and ye will fall vpon the sweard, because ye are turned awaye from the Lord, and and the Lorde will not be with you.


text:
But they presumed obstinatly to go vp into the hyll top. Neuerthelater, the arck of the testament of the Lorde, and Moses departed not out of the hoost.


text:
Then the Amaleckites and the Cananites which dwelt in that hyll, came downe, and smote them, and hewed them euen vnto Horma.


text:
speake vnto the children of Israel and saye vnto them: when ye be come into the lande of your habitacions, which I geue vnto you,


text:
& wyll offer an offerynge vnto the Lorde. Namely, a burntoffering or a speciall sacrifyce, eyther of a vowe or of a wyllinge mynde, and in youre princypall feastes, to make a swete fauoure vnto the Lorde, of the oxen or of the flocke.


text:
Then lett hym that offereth hys offeryng vnto the Lorde, bring also a meatofferinge of a tenth deale of floure, myngled wt the fourth parte of an hin of oyle,


text:
& the fourth part of an hin of wyne for a drynckoffering, and offer with the burntofferyng or any other offeryng: when it is a lambe.


text:
Or yf it be a ram, thou shalt offer for a meate offerynge, two tenth deales of floure, myngled with the thyrd part of an hin of oyle:


text:
and for a drinkofferynge, thou shalt offer the thyrde parte of an hyn of wyne for a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde.


text:
And when thou offerest a bullocke for a burntoffring or for a speciall vowe or peace offering vnto the Lorde,


text:
let him bring with a bullock a meateoffering of .iij. tenth deales of floure myngled with halfe an hin of oyle. And thou shalt bryng for a drinckofferynge euen halfe an hin of wyne,


text:
Loke what nombre thou makest in these, such a nombre shalt thou make in them also. And according to the nombre of suche offeringes, thou shalt encrease the meatofferynges and the drynckofferinges.


text:
All that are of your selues shall do these thinges after this maner, to offer an offeringe of swete sauour vnto the Lorde.


text:
And yf a straunger sogeorne with you, or whoso euer be amonge you in your generacions, and will offer an offering of a swete sauour vnto the Lorde: euen as ye do, so he shall do.


text:
One ordinaunce shalbe both for you of the congregacion, and also for the straunger. It shalbe an ordinaunce for euer in your generacions, both vnto you and to the straunger before the Lorde.


text:
speake vnto the children of Israel, and saye vnto them: When ye become into the lande to the which I bring you,


text:
Ye shall take vp a cake of the fyrst of your dow for an heueoffering, as ye do the heueoffering of the barne, euen so ye shall heue it.


text:
And yf ye ouerse your selues, and obserue not all these commaundementes, which the Lorde hath spoken vnto Moses:


text:
euen all that the Lorde hath commaunded you by the hande of Moses, from the fyrst daie that the Lorde commaunded Moses, and hence forwarde amonge youre generacions.


text:
Yf it happen that ought is commytted ignorantlye of the congregacion, all the multitude shall offer a bullocke for a burntofferyng, to be a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde, with the meatoffering and drynckoffering therto, acdynge to the maner, and an he goate for synne.


text:
And the preast shall make an atonement for all the multitude of the children of Israel, and it shalbe forgeuen them: for it is ignoraunce. And they shall brynge theyr offeryng for a sacrifyce vnto the Lorde: & theyr synofferynge before the Lorde for their ignoraunce.


text:
And it shalbe forgeuen vnto all the multitude of the chyldren of Israel, and vnto the straunger that dwelleth amonge you: seinge all the people were in ignoraunce.


text:
And the preaste shall make an atonement for the soule that synned ignorauntly, with the synneofferynge before the Lorde to reconcyle hym: and that it maye be forgeuen hym.


text:
And both thou that art borne of the children of Israel and the straunger that dwelleth amonge you, shall haue both one lawe, whoso doeth synne thorowe ignoraunce.


text:
But the soule that doeth ought presumptuouslye, whyther he be an Israelite or a straunger, the same blasphemeth the Lorde. And that soule shalbe roted out from among his people,


text:
because he hath despysed the word of the Lorde, and hath broken hys commaundement, that soule therfore shall perish, and his synne shalbe vpon him.


text:
And whyle the chyldren of Israel were in the wyldernesse, they founde a man that gathered styckes vpon the Sabboth daye.


text:
And they that founde him gatherynge styckes, brought hym vnto Moses and Aaron and vnto all the congregacyon:


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: Let the man die: and let all the multitude stone him with stones without the hoost.


text:
And all the multitude brought him without the hoost, & stoned him with stones, and he dyed as the Lord commaunded Moses.


text:
speake vnto the children of Israel and byd them: that they make them gardes in the quarters of theyr garmentes thorow out their generacions, and put vpon the garde of the quarters a ryband of yelow sylke:


text:
And the garde shalbe vnto you to loke vpon it, that ye maye remembre all the commaundementes of the Lorde, and do them: and that ye seke not after youre awne hert or youre awne eyes: after the which ye vse to go a whoring:


text:
I am the Lorde youre God, which broughte you oute of the lande of Egypte, for to be youre God. I am the Lorde youre God.


text:
And Corah the sonne of Iezehar the sonne of Cahath the sonne of Leui, and Dathan & Abiram the sonne of Eliab, and On the sonne of Peleth, the sonne of Ruben:


text:
rose vp before Moses, with other men of the children of Israel, two hundred and fiftye, which were captaynes of the multitude great and famous men in the congregacion:


text:
& they gathred them selues together agaynst Moses and Aaron, & sayde vnto them: ye make moche to do, seynge all the multitude are holy euery one of them, and the Lorde is amonge them: Why heaue ye your selues vp aboue the congregacyon of the Lorde?


text:
and spake vnto Corah and vnto all his company, saying: to morowe the Lorde will shewe who are his, who is holy, & who ought to approch nye vnto him, and whom he hath chosen to come to him.


text:
and do fyer therin, and put cens in them before the Lorde to morowe. And the man whom the Lorde doth chose, the same shalbe holy. Ye make much to do, ye chyldren of Leui.


text:
Is it but a small thinge vnto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel: and brought you to him selfe, to do the seruyce of the dwelling place of the Lord, and to stande before the multitude, and to minystre vnto him?


text:
he hath taken the to him and all thy brethren the sonnes of Leui with the, and seke ye the offyce of the preaste also.


text:
For which cause both thou and all thy companye are gathered together against the Lorde? And what is Aaron, that ye murmur agaynst him?


text:
Is it a small thynge, that thou hast brought vs oute of a lande that floweth with mylke and hony, to kyll vs in the wildernes, and to raygne ouer vs also?


text:
Hast thou brought vs vnto a lande that floweth with mylke and hony, and geuen vs inheritaunce of feldes and vyneyardes? Wilt thou pull out the eyes of these men? we wyll not come vp.


text:
And Moses waxed very angry, & sayde vnto the Lorde. Turne not thou vnto theyr offeryng. I haue not taken so muche as an asse from them, neyther haue I hurte any of them.


text:
And Moses sayde vnto Corah: Be thou and all thy company before the Lorde both thou, they, and Aaron tomorowe.


text:
And take euery man his censer, and put cens in them, that ye maye offre before the Lorde: euery man of the two hundred and fyftye take his censoure, thou also Aaron, that euery one maye haue his censer.


text:
And they toke euery man hys censer, and put fyer in them, and layed cens theron, and stode in the dore of the tabernacle of witnesse with Moses and Aaron.


text:
And Corah gathered all the congregacyon agaynst them vnto the dore of the tabernacle of witnes. And the glory of the Lord appeared vnto all the congregacion.


text:
And they fell vpon their faces and sayde. O moost myghtye God of the spretes of all fleshe, yf one man hath synned, wylt thou be wroth with all the multitude?


text:
speake vnto the congregacyon and saye: Get you awaye from about the dwellyng of Corah, Dathan and Abiram.


text:
And he spake vnto the congregacion, saying: departe from the tentes of these wicked men, and touche nothing of theirs: lest ye perysh in all their synnes.


text:
And so they gate them from the dwellyng of Corah, Dathan and Abiram on euery syde. And Dathan and Abiram came out and stode in the dore of their tentes with their wyues, their sonnes and their lytle chyldren.


text:
And Moses sayd: Herby ye shall knowe that the Lorde hath sent me to do all these workes, and that I haue not done them of mine awne minde.


text:
If these men dye the comen deth of all men: or yf they be visyted after the visitacyon of all men, then the Lorde hath not sent me.


text:
But and yf the Lorde make a newe thyng, and the earth open her mouth and swalowe them vp wt all that they haue: and they go downe quycke into hell: then ye shall vnderstande, that these men haue prouoked the Lorde.


text:
the grounde cloue asonder that was vnder them: & the erth opened her mouth, and swalowed them vp, and their houses,


text:
and all the men that were with Corah and all their goodes. And they and all that they had, went downe alyue vnto hell, and the earth closed vpon them: and they peryshed from amonge the congregacion.


text:
And all Israel that were aboute them fledd at the crye of them. And they sayd: lest the earthe swalowe vs vp also.


text:
And there came oute a fyer from the Lorde, and consumed the two hundred and fyftye men that offred cens.


text:
Speake vnto Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the preaste, that he take vp the censers oute of the burnynge, and skatter the fyer here and there,


text:
for the censers of these synners are halowed in theyr deathes: and let them make of them thinne beaten plates for a coueryng of the aultare. For they offered them before the Lord, and therfore they are halowed, and they shalbe a sygne vnto the chyldren of Israel.


text:
And Eleazar the preast toke the brasen censers which they that were burnt had offered, and beate them thinne for a couering of the aultare,


text:
to be a remembraunce vnto the chyldren of Israel, that no straunger which is not of the seed of Aaron, come nere to offer cens before the Lord, that it happen not vnto hym lyke as vnto Corah and hys companye, as the Lorde sayde of him by the hande of Moses.


text:
But on the morowe all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured agaynste Moses and Aaron, sayinge: ye haue kylled the people of the Lord.


text:
And it fortuned that when the multitude was gathred agaynst Moses and Aaron, they loked towarde the tabernacle of witnes. And beholde, the cloude couered it, and the glory of the Lorde appeared.


text:
Get you from amonge thys congregacion, that I maye consume them quickly. And they fell vpon their faces.


text:
And Moses sayde vnto Aaron: take a censer, and put fier therin out of the aulter, and powre on cens, and go quyckly vnto the congregacion, that thou mayest obteyne forgeuenes for them. For there is wrath gone oute from the Lorde, and there is a plage begonne.


text:
And Aaron toke as Moses commaunded him, and ran into the middes of the congregacion: and beholde, the plage was begonne among the people, and he put on cens, and made an atonement for the people.


text:
They that dyed in the plage, were .xiiij. thousande and seuen hundred: besyde them that dyed aboute the busynes of Corah.


text:
speake vnto the children of Israel: and take of euery prynce of them a rodd, after the houses of their fathers, euen twelue roddes: and write euery mans name vpon his rodd.


text:
And the mans rod whom I chose, shall blossome. And I wyll make cease from me the grudgynges of the chyldren of Israel, whereby they grudge agaynst you.


text:
And Moses spake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and all the prynces gaue hym euery prince ouer their fathers houses, a rod, euen twelue roddes: and the rodd of Aaron was among the roddes.


text:
And on the morowe, Moses went into the tabernacle of witnes: and beholde, the rodd of Aaron for the house of Leui was budded, and bare blossomes and almondes.


text:
And Moses brought out all the roddes from before the Lorde vnto all the chyldren of Israel: and they loked vpon them, and toke euery man his rodd.


text:
And the Lord sayde vnto Moses: bring Aarons rod agayne before the witnes to be kepte for a token of the childrens rebellyon, and that their murmuring maye cease from me, and that they dye not.


text:
And the children of Israel spake vnto Moses, saying: beholde, we are wasted awaye & consumed: we all come to naught:


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Aaron Thou and thy sonnes and thy fathers house with the shall beare the faute of that which is done amysse in the holy place. And thou and thy sonnes wt the shall beare the faute of that which is done amysse in your presthode.


text:
And thy brethren of the trybe of Leui and of thy fathers housholde thou shalt take vnto the, that they maye be ioyned vnto the and minystre vnto the: euen vnto the and thy sonnes with the before the tabernacle of witnes.


text:
They shall wayte vpon the and vpon all the tabernacle: onely let them not come nye the vesselles of the sanctuary and the alter, that they and ye also dye not.


text:
And they shalbe by the, and wayte on the tabernacle of witnes for all the seruyce of the tabernacle, and let no straunger come nye vnto you.


text:
Therfore shall ye kepe the holy place and the aulter, that ther fall no more wrath vpon the chyldren of Israel:


text:
beholde, I haue taken your brethren the Leuites from amonge the the childreen of Israel, which as a gyft of yours are geuen vnto the Lorde, to do the seruyce of the tabernacle of witnes.


text:
Therfore shalt thou and thy sonnes with the take hede vnto your preastes offyce for all thynges that perteyne vnto the aulter, and for all that are within the vayle. And se that ye serue: for I haue geuen your prestes office vnto you as a gyft: and therfore the straunger that commeth nye, must be slayne.


text:
And the Lorde spake vnto Aaron: behold, I haue geuen the the kepynge of myne heue offerynges of all the halowed thynges of the chyldren of Israel. Euen vnto the, I haue geuen them for the anoyntinge, and to thy sonnes, for a dutye for euer.


text:
Thys shall be thyne of most holy from the fyre of the altare. All theyr sacrifyces for all theyr meateofferynges, synne offerynges or trespace offerynges, which they brynge vnto me, are most holy. It is thyne and thy sonnes.


text:
In the most holy place shalt thou eat it: and all that are males shall eat of it: let it be holy vnto the.


text:
And this also is thyne the heueofferynges of theyr gyftes, thorowe out all the waueofferynges of the chyldren of Israel: I haue geuen them vnto the and thy sonnes, and thy daughters with the, to be a dutye for euer and all that are cleane in thy house, shall eate of it,


text:
all the fatt of the oyle, and all the fatt of the wyne and of the corne, whyche they shall offre vnto the Lord for fyrst frutes, the same haue I geuen vnto the.


text:
And whatsoeuer is fyrst rype in theyr lande whych they brynge vnto the Lord, shalbe thyne: and all that are cleane in thyne house, shall eate of it.


text:
All that breaketh the matrice in all fleshe that men brynge vnto the Lorde, whether it be of men or beastes, shalbe thyne. Neuerthelater the fyrstborne of man shalt thou redeme, and the fyrstborne of vncleane beastes shalt thou redeme lykewyse. Those that are to be redemed,


text:
shalt thou redeme from the age of a moneth, for the value of the money, namely for fyue sycles after the sycle of the sanctuari. A sycle maketh twentye halfpens.


text:
But the fyrstborne of oxen, shepe and goates shalt thou not redeme. For they are holy, therfore thou shalt sprynkle theyr bloude vpon the alter, and shalt burne theyr fatt vpon the sacrifyce for a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde.


text:
All the holy heueofferynges whych the chyldren of Israel offre vnto the Lorde, haue I geuen the and thy sonnes and thy daughters wyth the, to be a dutye foreuer: let it be a salted couenaunte for euer, before the Lorde, both vnto the & to thy seed with the.


text:
And the Lorde spake vnto Aaron thou shalt haue none enheritaunce in their lande, nether shalt thou haue any parte amonge them. I am thy parte and thy enherytaunce amonge the chyldren of Israel.


text:
Beholde, I haue geuen the chyldren of Leui all the tenth in Israel to enheryte, for the seruyce whiche they serue in the tabernacle of witnesse.


text:
Neither must the chyldren of Israel henceforth come nye the tabernacle of witnesse, lest they beare synne and dye.


text:
But the Leuites shall do the seruice in the tabernacle of witnesse & beare theyr synne, It shalbe a lawe foreuer in youre generacyons, that amonge the chyldren of Israel they possesse none enheritaunce.


text:
But the tythes of the chyldren of Israel whyche they paye as an heue offerynge vnto the Lorde, I haue geuen the Leuites to enheret. And therfore I haue sayed vnto them. Amonge the chyldren of Israel ye shall possesse none enheritaunce.


text:
speake vnto the Leuites and saye vnto them when ye take of the chyldren of Israel the tythes which I haue geuen you of them for youre enheritaunce, ye shall take an heueofferynge of that same for the Lorde: euen the tenth parte of that tythe.


text:
And thys youre heueoffering shalbe rekened vnto you, euen as though it were of the corne of the barne, or out of the fulnesse of the wyne presse.


text:
Of thys maner ye shall therfore separate an heueofferynge vnto the Lorde, of all youre tythes which ye receaue of the chyldren of Israel, and ye shall geue ther of vnto the Lord an heueofferynge, whyche shall belonge to Aaron the preaste.


text:
Of all youre gyftes, ye shal take out all the Lordes heueofferynges euen the fatt of theyr halowed thynges.


text:
Therfore thou shalt saye vnto them: when ye haue taken awaye the fatt of it from it, it shalbe counted vnto the Leuites, as yf it were the encrease of the corne floore, or the increase of the wyne presse.


text:
And ye shall eate it in all places, both ye and youre housholdes, for it is youre rewarde for youre seruyce in the tabernacle of witnesse.


text:
And ye shall beare no synne by the reason of it, when ye haue taken from it the fatt of it: nether shall ye vnhalowe the holy thynges of the children of Israel lest ye dye.


text:
this is the ordinaunce of the lawe whyche the Lorde hath commaunded sayinge: speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, that they brynge the a redd kowe without spot, and wherin is no blemish, and vpon which neuer came yocke.


text:
And ye shall geue her vnto Eleazar the preaste, that he maye brynge her without the hoste, & cause her to be slayne before hys face.


text:
And let Eleazar the preast take of her bloude with hys fynger, and sprynkle it before the tabernacle of witnesse seuen tymes. And cause the kowe to be burnt in his syghte


text:
And let the preast take Cedar wodd, and Isope and purple cloth, and cast it vpon the kowe as she burneth.


text:
Then let the preast wash hys clothes, and he shall bathe hys flesh in water, and then come into the hoste, and the preast shalbe vncleane vnto the euen.


text:
And he that burneth her, shall wassh his clothes in water, and bathe his fleshe in water, and be vncleane vntill euen.


text:
And a man that is cleane, shall take vp the asshes of the kowe, and put them without the hoste in a cleane place. And it shall be kepte for the multitude of the chyldren of Israel for a sprenklynge water and for an atonement of synne.


text:
Therfore, he that gathered the asshes of the kowe, shall washe hys clothes, & remayne vncleane vntyll euen. And thys shalbe vnto the chyldren of Israel and vnto the straunger that dwelleth amonge them, a statute for euer.


text:
And he shall purifye hym selfe with thys water the thyrde daye and the seuenth daye, and he shalbe cleane. But yf he purifye not hym selfe the thyrde daye and the seuenth daye, he shal not be cleane.


text:
Whosoeuer toucheth the coarse of any man that is deed, and sprynkleth not hym selfe, defyleth the dwellynge of the Lorde: and that soule shalbe roted out of Israel, because the sprynklyng water was not sprenkled vpon hym. He shalbe therfore vncleane, and hys vnclennesse shall remayne vppon hym.


text:
Thys is the lawe of the man that dyeth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shalbe vncleane seuen dayes.


text:
And whosouer toucheth one that is slayne with a swerde in the feldes, or a deed persone, or a bone of a deed man, or a graue: shall be vncleane seuen dayes.


text:
Therfore, for an vncleane persone they shall take of the burnt asshes of the synofferynge, & runnynge water shall be put therto in a vessell.


text:
And let a cleane persone take Isope and dyppe it in the water, & sprynkle it vpon the tent, and vpon all the vessels, and on the soules that were there in, and vpon hym that touched a bone, or a slayne persone, or a deed body, or a graue.


text:
And the cleane persone shall sprynkle vpon the vncleane the thirde daye and the seuenth daye. And the seuenth daye he shall purifye him selfe, & wasshe hys clothes, & bathe him selfe in water, and shalbe cleane at euen.


text:
But the man that is vncleane, and sprynkleth not him selfe, the same soule shalbe destroyed from amonge the congregacyon: because he hath defyled the holy place of the Lorde, and the sprynklynge water hath not bene sprynkled vpon him, therfore shall he remayne vncleane. And thys shalbe a perpetuall lawe vnto them. And he that sprynkleth the sprynklynge water, shall washe his clothes.


text:
And whatsoeuer the vncleane persone toucheth, shalbe vncleane. And the soule that toucheth it, shalbe vncleane vntyll the euen.


text:
And the children of Israel came wt the whole multitude into the deserte of Sin in the fyrst moneth, and the people abode at Cades. And there dyed MirIam, and was buryed there.


text:
But there was no water for the multitude, and they gathered them selues together agaynst Moses & Aaron.


text:
And the people chode with Moses, and spake, sayinge: wolde God that we had perysshed, when oure brethren dyed before the Lorde.


text:
Why haue ye brought the congregacyon of the Lorde vnto thys wyldernesse, that both we and oure catell shulde dye in it?


text:
Wherfore haue ye made vs to go oute of Egypte, to brynge vs into this vngracious place, which is no place of seed nor of fygges nor vynes, nor of pomgranates, nether is there any water to drynke?


text:
And Moses and Aaron went from the congregacyon vnto the dore of the tabernacle of witnesse, and fell vpon theyr faces. And the glory of the Lorde appered vnto them.


text:
take the rodd, and gether thou and thy brother Aaron the congregacyon together, and speake vnto the rocke before theyr eyes, and it shall geue forth hys water. And thou shalt brynge them water out of the rocke, to geue the company dryncke, and theyr beastes also.


text:
And Moses & Aaron gethered the congregacyon together before the rocke: and Moses sayde vnto them: heare ye rebellyons, must we fett you water oute of thys rocke?


text:
And Moses lyfte vp hys hande, and with hys rodd he smote the rocke two tymes, and the water came oute aboundantly, and the multitude drancke and theyr beastes also.


text:
And the Lorde spake vnto Moses & Aaron: because ye beleued me not, to sanctifye me in the eyes of the chyldren of Israel, therfore ye shall not brynge thys congregacyon into the lande whyche I haue geuen them.


text:
Thys is the water of stryffe, because the chyldren of Israel stroue with the Lorde, & he was sanctifyed in them.


text:
And Moses sent messengers from Cades vnto the kynge of Edom. Thus sayeth thy brother Israel: Thou knowest all the trauell that hath happened vs,


text:
Oure fathers went doune into Egpte, and we haue dwelt in Egypte a longe tyme, and the Egypcians vexed vs & oure fathers.


text:
And whan we cryed vnto the Lorde, he herde oure voyce, and sent an angell, and hath fett vs vp out of Egypt. And beholde, we are in Cades, euen in the vttermost cyte of thy border.


text:
We wyll go now thorow thy countre: but we will not go thorowe the feldes or vyneyardes, nether wyll we dryncke of the water of the fountaynes, we wyll go by the kynges hye waye, and nether turne vnto the ryghte hande nor to the lefte, vntyll we be past thy countre.


text:
The chyldren of Israel sayde vnto hym: we wyll go by the beaten waye: and yf I and my catell drynke of thy water, I wyll paye for it I wyll but onely (without any harme) go thorowe on my fete.


text:
He answered. Thou shalt not go thorowe. And Edom came oute agaynst hym with moche people, and wyth a myghtie power.


text:
And thus Edom denied to geue Israel passage thorow his countre: wherfore Israel turned awaye from hym.


text:
And the Lorde spake vnto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, harde by the coaste of the londe of Edom sayinge:


text:
Aaron shall be gathered vnto hys people, for he shall not come into the lande whych I haue geuen vnto the chyldren of Israel: because ye disobeyed my mouth at the water of stryffe.


text:
and thou shalt strype Aaron out of hys vestimentes, and put them vpon Eleazar hys sonne, and Aaron shalbe gathered vnto hys people and shall dye there.


text:
And Moses dyd as the Lorde commaunded: and they went vp into mount Hor in the syghte of all the multitude.


text:
And Moses toke of Aarons clothes, and put them vpon Eleazar hys sonne and Aaron dyed there in the toppe of the mount.


text:
And Moses and Eleazar came doune oute of the mount. Whan all the multytude sawe that Aaron was deed, they mourned for Aaron thyrtye dayes, thorowe oute all the housholdes of Israel.


text:
And when kynge Arad the Cananite whyche dwelt towarde the south, harde tell that Israel came vp the waye that the spyes had founde oute, he foughte agaynst Israel, and toke some of them presoners.


text:
And Israel vowed a vowe vnto the Lorde, and sayde: If thou wylt delyuer this people into my hande, I wyll vtterly destroye theyr cyties.


text:
And the Lorde herde the voyce of Israel, and deliuered them the Cananites. And they destroyed them and theyr cyties, & called the name of the place Horma.


text:
And they departed from mount Hor by the waye of the redd see: to compasse the land of Edom. And the soule of the people faynted by the waye.


text:
And the people spake agaynst God & agaynst Moses wherfore hast thou brought vs oute of Egypte, for to dye in the wildernesse? for here is nether bread nor water, & oure soule lotheth thys lyghte breade.


text:
Wherfore the Lorde sent fyerye serpentes amonge the people, whych stonge them: and moche people of Israel dyed.


text:
Therfore the people came to Moses and sayde: we haue synned, for we haue spoken agaynst the Lorde & agaynst the, make intercessyon to the Lorde, that he take awaye the serpentes from vs. And Moses made intercessyon for the people.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: make the a fyrie serpent & set it vp for a sygne, that as many as are bytten, maye loke vpon it, & lyue.


text:
And Moses made a serpent of brasse, and set it vp for a sygne. And when the serpentes had bytten any man, he behelde the serpent of brasse, and was healed.


text:
And they departed from Oboth, and pitched at the heapes of Abarim: euen in the wyldernesse whyche is by the playne of Moab on the east syde.


text:
And they departed thence, and pytched on the other syde of Arnon, which is in the wyldernesse, and commeth oute of the costes of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, betwene Moab and the Amorites.


text:
Wherfore it is spoken in the boke of the warre of the Lord, what thynge he dyd in the redd see, & in the ryuers of Arnon.


text:
And the heade of the ryuers, that goeth downe to the dwellyng of Ar, and stretcheth vnto the border of Moab:


text:
from thence it turneth vnto Beer. The same is Beer, or well wherof the Lorde spake vnto Moses: gether the people together, and I wyll geue them water.


text:
The princes dygged thys well, the captaynes of the people dygged it, with the teacher, and with theyr staues. And from the wyldernesse they went to Matana,


text:
and from Bamoth to the valay that is in the felde of Moab vnto the top of the hyll that appeareth before Iesimon.


text:
I wyll go thorowe thy lande: we wyll not tourne into thy feldes or vyneyardes, nether drynke of the waters of the well: but we wyll go a longe by the kynges hye waye, vntyll we be past thy countre.


text:
But Sehon wolde geue Israel no licence to passe thorowe hys countre, but gethered all hys people together and went oute agaynst Israel into the wyldernesse. And he came to Iaheza and foughte agaynst Israel.


text:
And Israel smote him in the edge of the swerde, and conquered hys lande, from Arnon vnto Iakob: and vnto the chyldren of Ammon. For the border of the chyldren of Ammon was, stronge.


text:
And Israel toke all these cities and dwelt in all the cyties of the Amorites: in Hesbon and in all the townes that longe therto.


text:
For Hesbon was the cytie of Sehon the kynge of the Amorites, whyche fought before agaynst the kynge of the Moabites, and toke all his lande out of hys hande, euen vnto Arnon.


text:
for there is a fyre gone out of Hesbon, and a flamme from the cytie of Sehon, and hath consumed Ar in Moab, and the inheritours of the hye places in Arnon.


text:
Wo be to the Moab: o people of Chamos, ye are vndone, he hath put his sonnes to flyghte, and hys daughters to captiuyte vnto Sehon kynge of the Amorites.


text:
Theyr empire is lost from Hesbon vnto Dibon, and we made a wyldernesse euen vnto Nopha, whych reacheth vnto Mediba.


text:
And Moses sent to serche oute Iaezer, and they toke townes belongynge therto, and rooted oute the Amorites that were there in.


text:
And they tourned and went vp towarde Basan. And Og the kynge of Basan came out agaynst them, he and all his people to fyght at Adrei.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses, feare him not, for I haue delyuered him in thy hande, and all his people, and hys lande. And thou shalt do to him as thou dydest vnto Sehon the kyng of the Amorites which dwelt at Hesbon.


text:
They smote hym therfore, and his sonnes, and all his people, vntill ther was nothinge lefte him. And they conquered hys lande.


text:
And the chyldren of Israel departed and pytched in the feldes of Moab, on the othersyde of Iordane, ouer against Iericho.


text:
and the Moabites were sore afrayed of the people, because they were many, and stode in feare of the chyldren of Israel.


text:
And Moab sayde vnto the elders of Madian: now shall this companye lycke vs vp all that are rounde aboute vs, as an oxe lycketh vp the grasse of the felde. And Balac the sonne of Ziphor was kynge of the Moabites at that tyme.


text:
He sent messengers therfore vnto Balaam the sonne of Beor in Pethor (whych is by the ryuer in the lande of the chyldren of his folke) to call him, sayinge: beholde, there is a people come oute of Egypte, & beholde, they couer the face of the erth, & dwell ouer agaynst me.


text:
Come nowe therfore & curse thys people for my sake. For they are to myghtie for me, yf so perauenture I myght be able to smyte them & to dryue them oute of the lande. For I wote that he whome thou blessest, is blessed, and whome thou cursest is cursed.


text:
And the elders of Moab and the elders of Madian departed, hauynge the rewarde of the sothsayinge in theyr hande. And they came vnto Balaam, and tolde him the wordes of Balac.


text:
He answered them: tary here thys nyght, and I wyll brynge you worde, euen as the Lord shall saye vnto me. And the Lordes of Moab abode with Balaam.


text:
beholde, there is a people come out of Egypt and couereth the face of the erth: come nowe therfore, and curse them for my sake, yf so peraduenture I maye be able to ouercome them in batell, and to dryue them oute.


text:
And Balaam rose vp in the mornynge & sayde vnto the Lordes of Balac: get you vnto youre lande: for the Lorde wyll not suffre me to go wyth you.


text:
whyche came to Balaam, and told him: Thus sayeth Balac the sonne of Ziphor: oh, let nothynge let the, but come vnto me,


text:
for I wyll greatly promote the vnto greate honoure, and wyll do whatsoeuer thou sayest vnto me, come I praye the, curse thys people for my sake:


text:
And Balaam answered and sayde vnto the seruauntes of Balac: If Balac wolde geue me hys housefull of syluer and golde, I cannot go beyonde the worde of the Lord my God, to do lesse or moare.


text:
And God came vnto Balaam by nyghte, & sayde vnto him: If the men come to call the, ryse vp and go with them: but loke what I saye vnto the, that shalt thou do.


text:
And the countenaunce of God was angrye because he went. And the angell of the Lorde stode in the waye agaynst hym, as he rode vpon hys asse, and hys two seruauntes were with hym.


text:
And when the asse sawe the angell of the Lorde stande in the waye, and hauynge a swerde drawen in his hande, the asse turned asyde oute of the waye, and went out into the felde. And Balaam smote the asse, to turne her into the waye.


text:
But the angell of the Lord stode in a path betwene the vyneyardes, and there was a wall on the one syde & another on the other.


text:
And when the asse sawe the angell of the Lorde, she wrenched vnto the wall, and thrust Balaams fote vnto the wall, and he smote her agayne.


text:
And the angell of the Lorde went forther and stode in a narowe place, where was no waye to tourne, ether to the ryght hande or to the lyfte.


text:
And when the asse sawe the angell of the Lorde, she fell downe vnder Balaam: and Balaam was wroth, and smote the asse with a staffe.


text:
And the Lorde opened the mouth of the asse, & she sayed vnto Balaam: what haue I done vnto the, that thou hast smytten me nowe thre tymes?


text:
And Balaam sayde vnto the Asse: because thou hast mocked me: I wolde also there were a swerde in myne hande, for euen nowe wolde I kyll the.


text:
And the asse sayde vnto Balaam: am not I thyne Asse whyche thou hast rydden vpon sence thou wast borne vnto thys daye? Was I euer wont to do so vnto the? he sayde: nay.


text:
And the Lorde opened the eyes of Balaam and he sawe the angell of the Lorde standinge in the waye, hauynge a swerde drawen in hys hande. He bowed hym selfe therfore, and fell flat on hys face.


text:
And the angell of the Lorde sayde vnto hym: Wherfore hast thou smyten thyne asse thre tymes? beholde, I came out as an aduersary, because thou makest thy waye contrary vnto me,


text:
and the asse sawe me, and went backe fro me thre tymes: or els yf she had not turned fro me I had suerly slayne the, and saued her alyue.


text:
Balaam sayd vnto the angell of the Lord: I haue synned: for I wist not that thou stodest in the waye agaynst me Nowe therfore yf it displease the I wyll turne home agayne.


text:
The angell sayde vnto Balaam: go with the men: but, what I saye vnto the, that shalt thou speake. And so Balaam went with the Lordes of Balac.


text:
And when Balac herde that Balaam was come, he went out to mete hym vnto a cytie of Moab, whiche is in the border of Arnon, euen in the vtmost coast.


text:
And Balac sayde vnto Balaam: dyd I not sende for the, to call the? And wherfore camest thou not vnto me? because I am not able to promote the vnto honoure?


text:
And Balaam made answere vnto Balac: Loo, I am come vnto the. And can I nowe saye any thinge at all. The worde that God putteth in my mouthe, that shall I speake.


text:
And on the morowe Balac toke Balaam, and brought hym vp into the hye place of Baal, that thence he myght se the vtmost parte of the people.


text:
And Balaam sayd vnto Balac: bylde me here seuen alters and prepare me here seuen oxen and seuen rammes.


text:
And Balaam sayd vnto Balac: stande by the sacrifyce, and I wyll goo yf happly the Lorde wyll mete me: and whatsoeuer he sheweth me, I will tell the, and he went forth alone.


text:
But God met Balaam, and Balaam sayde vnto hym: I haue prepared seuen alters, and haue offered vpon euery alter, an oxe and a ram.


text:
And he toke vp hys parable and sayde Balac the kynge of Moab hath fett me from Mesopotamia out of the mountaynes of the east (sayinge:) come, curse Iacob for my sake: come, & defye Israel.


text:
Howe shall I curse him, whom God hath not cursed? or howe shall I defye him, whom God hath not defyed?


text:
from the toppe of the rockes I se hym, and from the hylles I beholde hym: loo, the people shall dwell by them selfe, and shall not be rekened among the nacyons.


text:
Who can tell the dust of Iacob, and the nombre of the fourth parte of Israel? I praye God, that my soule maye dye the death of the ryghteous, & that my last ende maye be lyke hys.


text:
And Balac sayde vnto Balaam: what hast thou done vnto me? I fett the to curse myne enemyes, and beholde, thou hast blessed them.


text:
And Balac sayde vnto hym: Come I praye the with me vnto another place, whence thou mayest se them, and thou shalt se but the vtmost parte of them, and shalt not se them all: curse them out of that place for my sake.


text:
And he brought him into a felde (where men myght se farre of) euen to the toppe of an hyll, and bylt seuen alters, and offered an oxe and a ram on euery alter.


text:
And when he came to hym: beholde, he stode by his sacrifyce, & the Lordes of Moab with hym. And Balac sayde vnto him: what hath the Lorde sayde?


text:
And he toke vp his parable & answered: ryse vp Balac and heare, and herken vnto me thou sonne of Ziphor.


text:
God is not a man that he shulde lye, nether the sonne of a man that he shulde repent: shulde he saye, and not doo? or shulde he speake, and not make it good?


text:
beholde, I haue taken vpon me to blesse, for he hath blessed, and it is not in my power to alter it.


text:
He behelde no vanyte in Iacob, nor sawe trauayll in Israel. The Lorde hys God is wt him, and the presence of the kyng is amonge them.


text:
There is no sorcery in Iacob, nor sothsaying in Israel. It is nowe tolde vnto Iacob & Israel, what God hath wrought.


text:
Beholde, the people shal ryse vp as a lyonesse, and heue vp hym selfe as a lyon. He shall not lye downe, vntill he eate of the praye, and drynke the bloude of them that are slayne.


text:
But Balaam answered and sayde vnto Balac: tolde not I the sayinge: all that the Lorde speaketh, that I must doo?


text:
And Balac sayde vnto Balaam: come I praye the, and I wyll brynge the yet vnto another place: yf peraduenture it shall please God, that thou mayst thence curse them for my sake.


text:
And Balaam sayde vnto Balac: make me here seuen alters, and prepare me here seuen oxen, and seuen rammes.


text:
And when Balaam sawe that it pleased the Lorde that he shulde blesse Israel, he went not as he dyd twyse before to fett sothsayinge, but sett hys face towarde the wyldernesse.


text:
And Balaam lyfte vp hys eyes, and loked vpon Israel as he laye accordyng to his trybes, and the spirite of God came vpon him.


text:
And he toke vp hys parable and sayde: Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde & the man whose eye is open hath sayd:


text:
he hath sayde, whyche heareth the wordes of God and seyth the visyons of the almyghtie, and falleth doune with open eyes.


text:
Euen as the valeyes are they layed abrode, and as gardens by the ryuers syde: as the tentes whyche the Lorde hath pytched, and as cyperstrees besyde the waters.


text:
The water droppeth out of his bouket, and hys seed shal be many waters and hys kinge shalbe hyer then Agag, And hys kyngdome shalbe exalted.


text:
God broughte hym out of Egypt: as the strength of an vnycorne is he vnto hym. He shall eate the nacyons hys enemyes, and gnawe theyr bones, & perce them thorowe with his arowes.


text:
He couched hym selfe, and laye doune as a lyon, and as a lyonesse, who shall sterre hym vp? blessed is he that blesseth the, & cursed is he that curseth the.


text:
And Balac was wroth wyth Balaam, and smote hys handes together, and Balac sayde vnto Balaam: I sent for the to curse myne enemyes, and beholde, thou hast blessed them this thre tymes.


text:
Therfore nowe gett the quyckly vnto thy place. I thought that I wolde promote the vnto honoure, but lo, the Lorde hath kept the backe from worshype


text:
If Balac wolde geue me his house full of syluer and golde, I cannot passe the worde of the Lorde, to do ether good or bad of myne awne mynde? But what the Lorde sayeth, that am I compelled to speake.


text:
And nowe beholde, I go vnto my people: come therfore, and I wyll aduertise the, what this people shal do to thy folke in the later dayes.


text:
And he toke vp hys parable and sayde: Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde, the man whose eye is open, hath sayde.


text:
He hath sayde that heareth the wordes of God, and hath the knowledge of the most hye, and beholdeth the visyon of the almyghtie, and that falleth with open eyes:


text:
I shall se hym, but not nowe I shall beholde him, but not nye. There shall come a starre of Iacob, and ryse a sceptre of Israel, and shal smyte the costes of Moab & vndermyne all the chyldren of Seth.


text:
And Edom shalbe possessed, and Seir shall fall to the possessyon of theyr enemyes, and Israel shall do manfully.


text:

And Moses and Eleazar the prest toke the golde of the captaynes ouer the thousandes and of the captaynes ouer the hundredes, & brought it into the tabernacle of witnes, for a memoriall of the children of Israel before the Lorde.


text:
The chyldren Ruben and the chyldren of Gad had an exceadynge greate multitude of catell. And when they sawe the lande of Iazer and the lande of Gilead that it was apte place for catell,


text:
the chyldren of Ruben and the chyldren of Gad came & spake vnto Moses and Eleazar the preast and vnto the lordes of the congregacyon, saying:


text:
which contreye the Lorde smote before the congregacyon of Israel: is a lande mete for a catell, and we thy seruauntes haue catell:


text:
wherfore (sayde they) yf we haue founde grace in thy syght, let this land be geuen vnto thy seruauntes to possesse, and bryng vs not ouer Iordan.


text:
And Moses sayde vnto the children of Gad and of Ruben: shall youre brethren goo to warre, and ye shall syt here?


text:
Wherfore discorage ye the hert of the chyldren of Israel, that they shulde not goo ouer into the lande, which the Lorde hath geuen them?


text:
For when they went vp euen vnto the riuer of Escol, and sawe the lande: they discoraged the hert of the children of Israel, that they shulde not go into the lande, which the Lorde hath geuen them.


text:
None of the men that came out of Egipte from twentye yere olde and aboue, shall se the lande which I sware vnto Abraham, Isaac and Iacob, because they haue not wholy folowed me:


text:
saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune the Kenesite, and Iosua the sonne of Nun: for they haue folowed the Lorde.


text:
And the Lorde was angry with Israel, and made them wandre in the wildernes fourty yere, vntyll all the generacyon that had done euell in the syght of the Lorde were consumed.


text:
And beholde, ye are rysen vp in your fathers steade, as an encrease of synfull men, to augmente the fearce wrath of the Lorde, to Israel warde.


text:
For yf ye turne awaye from after hym, he will yet agayne leaue the people in the wyldernesse, and ye shall destroye all thys folke.


text:
And they went nere him, and sayde: we will buylde shepefoldes here for oure shepe and for oure catell, and cityes for our children.


text:
But we our selues will goo ready armed before the chyldren of Israel, vntyll we haue brought them vnto their place. And our children shall dwell in the fenced cityes, because of the inhabiters of the lande.


text:
We wyll not returne vnto oure houses, vntyll the children of Israel haue enhereted, euery man his enheritaunce.


text:
Neyther will we enheret with them on yonder syde Iordan forwarde, because oure enheritaunce is fallen to vs on this syde Iordan eastwarde.


text:
and wyll go all of you in harnesse ouer Iordan before the Lorde, vntyll he haue cast out his enemies before him:


text:
and vntyll the lande be subdued before the Lorde, then ye shall returne and be without synne before the Lord and before Israel, and this lande shalbe youre possessyon before the Lorde.


text:
But and yf ye wyll not do so, beholde, ye haue synned agaynst the Lord: and be sure, youre synne wyll fynde you out.


text:
Nowe therfore, buylde cityes for youre chyldren, and foldes for your shepe, and do that ye haue spoken.


text:
The children of Gad and the children of Ruben spake vnto Moses, sayinge: thy seruauntes wyll do as my lorde commaundeth.


text:
But thy seruauntes wyll goo all harnessed for the warre, and vnto battayll before the Lorde, as my lorde sayth.


text:
And for theyr sakes, Moses commaunded Eleazar the preast, and Iosua the sonne of Nun, and the auncient fathers of the trybes of the chyldren of Israel:


text:
and Moses saide vnto them: If the children of Gad and the children of Ruben wyll go with you ouer Iordan, all prepared to fyght before the Lord, then when the lande is subdued before you, ye shall geue them the lande of Gilead to possesse:


text:
but and yf they wyll not go ouer with you in harnesse, they shall haue their possessions amonge you in the lande of Canaam.


text:
And the children of Gad and the chyldren of Ruben answered, sayinge: As the Lorde hath sayde vnto thy seruauntes, so wyll we do.


text:
We will go harnessed before the Lorde into the lande of Canaan, that the possession of oure enheritaunce maye be on thys syde Iordan.


text:
And Moses gaue vnto the chyldren of Gad and to the children of Ruben, and vnto halfe the trybe of Manasse the sonne of Ioseph, the kingdome of Sehon kynge of the Amorites, and the kingdome of Og king of Basan, the lande wt the cityes therof in the coastes and cityes of the countrey rounde about.


text:
Nebo, Baal, Meon, & turned their names, & Sibama also: and gaue other names vnto the cityes which they builded.


text:
And the children of Machir the sonne of Manasse went to Gilead, and toke it, & put out the Amorites that dwelt therin.


text:
And Nobah went and toke kenath, and the townes longyng therto, & called it Nobah after his awne name.


text:
These are the iourneies of the children of Israel, which went out of the lande of Egipt with their armyes vnder the hande of Moses and Aaron.


text:
And Moses wrote their goinge out by their iourneyes, accordyng to the commaundement of the Lord: euen these are the iourneyes of their goynge out.


text:
They departed from Rahemses the .xv. daye of the fyrst moneth, on the morowe after Passeouer: and the children of Israel went out with an hye hande in the syght of all the Egipcyans.


text:
For the Egipcyans buryed all their fyrst borne which the Lorde had smyten amonge them. And vpon theyr goddes also the Lorde dyd execucion.


text:
And they departed from Socoth, and pitched theyr tentes in Ethan, which is in the edge of the wildernesse.


text:
And they remoued from Ethan, and turned againe vnto Pi Hiroth which is before Baal zephon: and pitched before Migdol.


text:
And they departed from the playne of Hiroth: and went thorowe the myddes of the see in the wildernes, and went .iij. dayes iorney in the wildernes of Ethan, and pitched in Marah.


text:
And they remoued from Marah, and came vnto Elim, where were twelue fountaynes of water, and .lxx. paulmetrees, and they pitched there.


text:
And Aaron the preast went vp into mount Hor at the commaundement of the Lorde, and dyed there, euen in the fourtyth yere, after the chyldren of Israel were come out of the lande of Egypte, and in the fyrst daye of the fyfth moneth.


text:
And king Erad the Canaanite, which dwelte in the south of the lande of Canaan, hearde of the comming of the chyldren of Israel.


text:
And they departed from the mountaynes of Abarim, and pitched in the feldes of Moab, fast by Iordan oueragainst Iericho.


text:
speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them: when ye are come ouer Iordan to entre into the lande of Canaan,


text:
ye shall dryue out all the inhabiters of the lande before you, and destroye all their pictures, and breake asunder all their ymages of metall, and plucke downe all theyr aulters.


text:
And ye shall deuyde the enheritaunce of the land by lot amonge your kynredes, and geue to the mo the more enheritaunce, and to the fewer the lesse enheritaunce. And youre enheritaunce shalbe in the trybes of your fathers, euery mans enheritaunce in the place where his lot faleth.


text:
But and yf ye wyll not dryue oute the inhabiters of the lande before you, than those which ye let remayne of them, shalbe prickes in youre eyes, and dartes in your sydes, and shall vexe you in the lande wherin ye dwell.


text:
commaunde the chyldren of Israel, and saye vnto them: when ye come into the lande of Canaan, thys is the lande that shall fall vnto your enheritaunce, the lande of Canaan with her coastes.


text:
And your southquarter shalbe from the wildernes Sin alonge by the coaste of Edom, so that youre southquarter reache vpon the syde of the salt see east warde:


text:
& fet a compasse from the south vp to Acrahim: and recahe to Zinna. And go out from the south to Cades Barne, & go out also to Hazar Adar, and go alonge to Azmon:


text:
And thys shalbe youre northquarter: ye shall compasse youre border from the greate see vnto mount Hor.


text:
And from mount Hor, ye shall describe youre border, tyll it come vnto Hemath, and the ende of the coaste shalbe at Zedada,


text:
and the coaste shall reache out to Ziphron, and go oute at Hazar Enan. Thys shalbe your northquarter.


text:
And the coast shall go downe from Sepham to Ribla on the east syde of Ain. And the same border shall descende and go out at the syde of the see of Cenereth eastwarde.


text:
And then go downe alonge by Iordane, & leaue at the salt see. And thys shalbe your lande with the coastes therof rounde aboute.


text:
And Moses commaunded the chyldren of Israel sayenge: thys is the lande whyche ye shall enherit by lot, and which the Lorde commaunded to geue vnto nyne trybes and an halfe:


text:
for the tribe of the children of Ruben accordyng to the housholdes of theyr fathers, and the trybe of the chyldren of Gad accordyng to theyr fathers housholdes, and halfe the trybe of Manasse, haue receaued theyr enheritaunce.


text:
Two trybes and an halfe haue receaued their enheritaunce on the other syde of Iordan, oueragaynst Iericho eastwarde.


text:
These are the names of the men, which shall deuyde the lande vnto you: Eleazar the preaste, and Iosua the sonne of Nun.


text:
From amonge the children of Ioseph for the trybe of the chyldren of Manasse, the lorde haniel, the sonne of Ephod.


text:
These are they whom the Lord commaunded to deuyde the enheritaunce vnto the chyldren of Israel in the lande of Canaan.


text:
commaunde the chyldren of Israel, that they geue vnto the Leuites of the enheritaunce of theyr possession, cyties to dwell in. And ye shall geue also vnto the cyties of the Leuites, suburbes hard by theyr cityes rounde about them.


text:
The cyties shall they haue to dwell in, and the suburbes for theyr catell, and for theyr possession and all maner of beastes of theyrs.


text:
And the suburbes of the cyties which ye shall geue vnto the Leuites, shall reache from the wall of the cytie outwarde, a thousande cubytes rounde about.


text:
And ye shall measure without the cytie of the eastsyde, two thousande cubytes. And of the southsyde, two thousande cubytes. And of the westsyde, two thousande cubytes. And of the northsyde, two thousaude cubites also: and the cytie shalbe in the myddes. And these shalbe the suburbes of theyr cyties.


text:
And from amonge the cyties whyche ye shall geue vnto the Leuytes, there shall be syxe cyties for refuge, which ye shall appointe to that intent, that he which kylleth, maye flye thyther. And to them ye shal adde .xlii. cyties mo:


text:
And these cities which ye shall geue, shall be out of the possession of the chyldren of Israel. They that haue many, shall geue many. But of them that haue fewe, ye shall take fewe. Euery one shall geue of hys cities vnto the Leuites, accordynge to the enheritaunce which he enheriteth.


text:
speake vnto the chyldren of Israel and saye vnto them: whan ye be come ouer Iordane into the lande of Canaan,


text:
ye shall appoynte you cyties to be cyties of refuge for you: that he whych sleeth a soule vnwares, maye flye thyther.


text:
And the cytie shalbe to flye from the auenger of bloude, that he whyche kylleth dye not, vntyll he stande before the congregacion in iudgement.


text:
And these syxe fre cyties shalbe a refuge both for the chyldren of Israel, and for the straunger, and for hym that dwelleth amonge you: that all they which kill any persone vnwares, maye flye thyther.


text:
And yf any man smyte another with an instrument of yron that he dye, then is he a murtherer, and shall dye for it.


text:
If he smyte hym wyth a throwynge stone that a man maye dye with, and yf he dye, he that smote hym is a murtherer, let the same murtherer be slayne therfore.


text:
Or yf he smyte him with a handweapon of wodde that a man maye dye with, then yf he dye, he is a murtherer: let the murtherer be slayne therfore.


text:
But yf the thrust at hym of hate, or hourle at him with layinge of wayte, that he dye, or smyte hym with hys hande of enuye that he dye,


text:
he that smote him shall dye, for he is a murtherer. The iustice of bloude shall slaye the murthurer, as soone as he findeth him.


text:
But and yf he pusshed hym by chaunce and not of hate, or cast at him with any maner of thynge and not of layinge of wayte:


text:
or cast any maner of stone at him (that a man maye dye with) and sawe hym not. And he cast it vpon hym and he dye, and was not hys enemye, nether sought him any harme.


text:
And the congregacyon shall delyuer the slayer out of the hande of the auenger of bloude, and the congregacyon shall restore hym agayne vnto the cytie of hys refuge, whether he was fledd. And he shall byde there vnto the deathe of the hye preaste, which was anoynted with holy oyle.


text:
yf the auenger of bloud fynde him withoute the borders of hys fre towne, and slaye the murtherer, he shal be gyltlesse,


text:
because he shulde haue bydden in hys fre towne vntyll the deeth of the hye preaste, and after the deeth of the hye preaste to retourne agayne vnto the lande of his possession.


text:
Whosoeuer kylleth a soule, the same the manslayer must be slayne him selfe thorowe witnesses. Nether shall one witnesse answere to put a man to death.


text:
Moreouer, ye shall take none amendes for the lyfe of the murtherer which is worthy to dye: But he shall be put to death.


text:
Also ye shall take no money of hym that is fled to a fre cytie, that he shulde come agayne, and dwell in the lande, before the death of the hye preaste.


text:
And se that ye polute not the lande which ye shall dwell in: for bloud defyleth the lande. And the land can none other wyse be clensed of the bloude that is shed therin, but by the bloude of hym that shed bloude.


text:
Defyle not therfore the lande which ye shall inhabyte, for I am in the myddes therof: euen I the Lord dwell among the chyldren of Israel.


text:
And the auncient fathers of the children of Gilead the sonne of Machir the sonne of Manasse of the kynred of the chyldren of Ioseph, came forth & spake before Moses and the prynces, and auncyent fathers of the chyldren of Israel,


text:
and sayde: The Lorde commaunded my Lord, to geue the lande to enheret by lotte to the chyldren of Israel. And my Lorde commaunded in gods behalfe, to geue the enheritaunce of Zelaphead oure brother vnto hys daughters.


text:
Whom yf any of the sonnes of the other trybes of Israel take to wyues, then shall theyr enheritaunce be taken from the enheritaunce of oure fathers, and shall be put vnto the enheritaunce of the trybe which they are receaued into: and shalbe taken from the lotte of oure enheritaunce.


text:
And when the yere of iubelye of the chyldren of Israel commeth then shall theyr enheritaunce be put vnto the enheritaunce of the trybe wherin to they are receaued: and so shall theyr enheritaunce be taken awaye from the enheritaunce of the trybe of oure fathers.


text:
And Moses commaunded the children of Israel accordynge to the worde of the Lorde sayinge: the chyldren of the trybe of Ioseph haue sayd well.


text:
This therfore doeth the Lorde commaunde the daughters of Zelaphead sayinge let them be wyues to whom they them selfe thynck best, onely to the kynred and trybe of theyr father shall they marye,


text:
so shal not the enheritaunce of the chyldren of Israel remoue from trybe to trybe, whan the chyldren of Israel abyde euery man in the enheritaunce of the trybe of his fathers.


text:
And euery daughter that possesseth any enheritaunce in any trybe of the children of Israel, shalbe wyfe vnto one which is of the kynred of the trybe of her father, that the chyldren of Israel maye enioye euery man the enheritaunce of hys father:


text:
Neyther ought the enheritaunce to go from one trybe to another: but euery one of the trybes of the chyldren of Israel, must abyde in hys awne enheritaunce.


text:
which were of the kynred of the chyldren of Manasses the sonne of Ioseph: and so theyr enheritaunce remayned in the trybe of the kynred of theyr father.


text:
These are the commaundementes & lawes which the Lorde commaunded by the hande of Moses, vnto the chyldren of Israel in the feldes of Moab by Iordane ouer agaynst Iericho.


text:
These be the wordes which Moses spake vnto all Israel, on the other syde Iordan in the wildernesse, in the plaine ouer agaynst the redd see, betwene Pharan and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth and Disahab,


text:
And it fortuned the fyrst daye of the eleuenth moneth in the fortieth yere, that Moses spake vnto the chyldren of Israel accordinge vnto all that the Lorde had geuen him in commaundement vnto them,


text:
after that he had smytten Sehon the kynge of the Amorites which dwelt in Hesbon, and Og kyng of Basan which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrai.


text:
departe therfore & take youre iourney, and go vnto the hyll of the Amorites and vnto all places nye there vnto: both vnto the playne, and hylles and dales: to the south, to the sees syde, to the lande of Canaan, and vnto Libanon: euen vnto the greate ryuer Euphrates.


text:
Beholde, I haue set the land before you: goo in and possesse the lande whych the Lorde sware vnto youre fathers Abraham, Isaac and Iacob, to geue vnto them and theyr seede after them.


text:
For the Lorde youre God had multiplyed you: and beholde, ye are thys daye as the starres of heauen in nombr


text:
(the Lorde God of youre fathers make you a thousande tymes so many moo as ye are, and blesse you as he hath promysed you)


text:
brynge (from amonge you) men of wysdome and of vnderstandynge, and experte, accordynge to youre trybes, and I wyll make them ruelars ouer you.


text:
And out of youre trybes I toke the captaynes, (men of wysdome and that were experte) and made them ruelars ouer you: captaynes ouer thousandes & ouer hundredes ouer fyftye and ouer ten, and offycers amonge youre trybes.


text:
And I charged youre Iudges that same tyme saying: heare the cause of your brethren and iudge ryghteously betwene euery man and hys brother, and the straunger that is with hym.


text:
Se that ye knowe no faces in Iudgement: but heare the small as well as the greate, and be afrayed of no man, for the iudgement is Gods. And the cause that is to harde for you, brynge vnto me, and I will heare it.


text:
And when we departed from Horeb, we went thorowe all that greate and terrible wyldernesse, as ye haue sene alonge by the waye of the hyll of the Amorites, as the Lorde oure God commaunded vs, and came to Cades Barne.


text:
And I sayde vnto you: Ye are come vnto the hyll of the Amorites, which the Lord oure God wyll geue vnto vs.


text:
Beholde, the Lorde thy God hath set the lande before the: goo vp and conquere it, as the Lorde God of thy fathers hath sayde vnto the feare not, nether be discouraged.


text:
But ye came vnto me euery one and sayde we wyll sende men before vs, to searche vs oute the lande, and to brynge vs worde agayne, what waye we must go vp by, & vnto what cyties we shall come.


text:
Whych departed, and went vp into the hye contrey, and came vnto the ryuer Escoll, and serched it out,


text:
& toke of the frute of the lande in theyr handes & brought it vnto vs, and brought vs worde agayne, & sayde: it is a good lande, whych the Lorde oure God doth geue vs.


text:
Notwithstandynge ye wolde not consente to goo vp, but were disobedient vnto the mouth of the Lord youre God,


text:
and murmured in youre tentes, & sayde: because the Lorde hateth vs, therfore hath he brought vs out of the lande of Egypte, to delyuer vs into the hande of the Amorites, and to destroye vs.


text:
Howe shal we goo vp? Oure brethren haue discoraged oure herte, sayinge: the people is greater & taller then we, and haue cyties greate and walled euen vp to heauen, & moreouer we haue sene the sonnes of the Enakims there.


text:
The Lorde youre God which goeth before you, he shall fyghte for you, accordynge to all that he dyd vnto you in Egypte before youre eyes.


text:
In the wyldernersse also thou hast sene howe that the Lorde thy God bare the, euen as a man doth beare hys sonne, in all the waye whyche ye haue gone by, vntyll ye came vnto thys place.


text:
He went in the waye before you, to serche you out a place to pytche youre tentes in, in fyre by nyght, that ye myghte se what waye to go, and in a cloude by daye.


text:
there shall not one of these men and of this frowarde generacyon se that good lande which I sware to geue vnto youre fathers,


text:
saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, he shall se it and to hym wyll I geue that lande that he hath trodden vpon, and to his chyldren, because he hath folowed the Lord


text:
But Iosua the sonne of Nun which standeth before the, he shall go in thither. Bolden hym therfore, for he shal cause Israel to inheret the lande.


text:
Moreouer youre chyldren, which ye sayde shulde be a praye, and youre sonnes which in that daye had no knowlege betwene good and euell, they shall goo in thither, and vnto them will I geue it, and they shall enioye it.


text:
But as for you, turne youre face, and take youre iourneye into the wildernesse: euen by the waye of the reade see.


text:
Then ye answered & sayde vnto me: We haue synned agaynst the Lorde: we wyll go vp and fyghte, accordynge to all that the Lord oure God commaunded vs. And when ye had gyrde on euery man his wepons of warre, beholde, ye were ready to goo vp into the hyll.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto me: saye vnto them, that they go not vp, and that they fyghte not, for I am not among you: lest ye fall before youre enemyes


text:
I tolde you therfore, and ye wolde not heare, but disobeyed the mouth of the Lorde, & went presumptuously vp into the hyll.


text:
And the Amorites whych dwelt in that hyll, came out agaynst you, and chased you (as bees vse to do) & smote you in Seir, euen vnto Horma.


text:
And ye came agayne, & wepte before the Lorde: but the Lorde wolde not heare youre voyce, nor geue you audience.


text:
Then we tourned oure face, & toke oure iourney into the wyldernesse euen by the waye of the read see as the Lorde spake vnto me. And we compassed mount Seir a longe tyme.


text:
And warne thou the people sayinge: Ye shall go thorowe the coast of youre brethren the chyldren of Esau whyche dwell in Seir, & they shalbe afrayed of you: Take ye good hede vnto your selues therfore.


text:
Ye shall not prouoke them, for I wyll not geue you of their lande, no not so moche as a fote bredth because I haue geuen mounte Seir vnto Esau to possess


text:
ye shall bye meat of them for money to eate, and ye shall procure water of them for money to drynke.


text:
For the Lord thy God hath blessed the in all the workes of thy hande. He knewe thy entrynge into this greate wyldernesse this .xl. yeres, and the Lorde thy God hath bene with the, so that thou hast lacked nothynge.


text:
And when we were departed from oure brethren the chyldren of Esau whych dwelt in Seir, the playne waye from Elath & from Ezion Gaber, we turned & went by the waye of the wyldernesse of Moab.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto me: Thou shalt not fyght agaynst the Moabites, nether prouoke them to battell, for I wyll not geue the of their lande to possesse:


text:
because I haue geuen Ar vnto the children of Loth to possesse. The terrible people the Emims dwelt therin in tymes past, a people great, many & tall, as the Enakims:


text:
The Horims dwelt in Seir before tyme, whose possessyon the chyldren of Esau occupyed, and destroyed them before them, & dwelt in their stead: as Israel dyd vnto the lande of his possession, which the Lorde gaue them.


text:
The space in whych we came from Cades barne vntyll we were come ouer the ryuer Zared, was .xxxviii. yeres: vntyll all the generacyon of the men of warre were wasted out from amonge the host, as the Lorde sware vnto them.


text:
For in dede the hande of the Lorde was agaynst them, to destroye them from amonge the host, tyll they were consumed.


text:
and whan thou commest nye vnto the chyldren of Ammon, thou shalt not laye sege vnto them, ner moue warre agaynst them. For I wyll not geue the of the lande of the chyldren of Ammon a possessyon,


text:
but I haue geuen it vnto the chyldren of Loth to possesse. That also is taken for a land of giauntes, and giauntes dwelt therin in olde tyme, whom the Ammonites call Zanzumims.


text:
A people that was great, many, & talle, as the Enakims. But the Lord destroyed them before them, & they succeaded them in the inheritaunce & dwelt in theyr steade:


text:
as he dyd for the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir: whan he destroyed the Horyms before them they conquered theyr possessyon, and dwelt in theyr steade vnto this daye.


text:
And the Auims which dwelt in Hazarim euen vnto Aza, the Caphthoryms which came out of Caphthor destroyed them, and dwelt in theyr steade.


text:
Ryse ye vp therfore, and take youre iourney ouer the ryuer Arnon. Beholde, I haue geuen into thy hande Sehon the Amorite kyng of Hesbon, and his lande. Go to therfore and conquere, and prouoke hym to battell.


text:
This daye wyll I begynne to sende the feare and dreade of the, vpon all nacions that are vnder all the heauen: so that they whych heare speake of the, shall tremble and quake before the.


text:
And so I sent messengers out of the wyldernesse of kedemoth vnto Sehon kynge of Hesbon, with wordes of peace, sayinge:


text:
I wyll go thorowe thy lande. I wyll go alonge by the hye waye: I wyll nether turne vnto the ryghte hande nor to the lefte.


text:
Thou shalt sell me meate for money for to eate, and geue me drinke for money for to drinke. Onely graunt me, that I maye go thorowe on my fot


text:
(as the chyldren of Esau which dwell in Seir, & the Moabites whych dwell in Ar, dyd vnto me) vntyll I be come ouer Iordan, into the lande which the Lorde oure God geueth vs.


text:
But Sehon the kynge of Hesbon wolde not let vs passe by him, for the Lord thy God hardened his sprete, & made his herte tough, because he wolde delyuer him into thy hande, as it is come to passe thys daye.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto me: beholde, I haue begonne to set Sehon and his lande before the: go to and conquere, and possesse his lande.


text:
And we toke all his cyties the same ceason, and slue the men, wemen and chyldren of all the cyties, and let nothynge remayne,


text:
from Aroer which is by the brinke of the ryuer of Arnon, & from the cytie that is in the ryuer, vnto Gilead: there was not one cytie to stronge for vs. The Lorde oure God delyuered all vnto vs:


text:
onely vnto the lande of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor vnto euery place of the ryuer Iabock, nor vnto the cyties in the mountaynes, nor vnto whatsoeuer the Lorde oure God forbade vs.


text:
Then we turned & went vp the waye to Basan. And Og the kynge of Basan came out agaynst vs: he and all hys people to battel at Edrai.


text:
And the Lord sayde vnto me: feare him not, for I wyll delyuer hym, & all his people and hys lande into thy hande, and thou shalt do vnto him, as thou dyddest vnto Sehon kinge of the Amorites, which dwelt at Hesbon.


text:
And so the Lorde oure God delyuered into oure handes, Og also the kynge of Basan and all hys folke. And we smote him, vntyll none was lefte hym alyue.


text:
And we toke all his cyties the same ceason (nether was there a cytie which we toke not from them) euen thre score cyties thorow out all the region of Argob, the kyngdome of Og in Basan.


text:
All these cyties also were made stronge with hye walles, gates and barres, besyde vnwalled townes a greate meanye.


text:
And we vtterly destroyed them, as we dyd vnto Sehon kynge of Hesbon, bringyng to nought all the cyties, with men, wemen and chyldren.


text:
And thus we toke the same ceason, out of the hande of two kynges of the Amorites, the lande that was on the other syde Iordan, from the ryuer of Arnon vnto mount Hermon


text:
all the cyties that laye in the playne, and all Gilead and all Basan vnto Salecha and Edrai, cityes of the kyngdome of Og in Basan.


text:
For onely Og kynge of Basan remayned of the remnaunt of the gyauntes, whose bed was a bed of yron. And is it not yet at Rabah amonge the chyldren of Ammon? .ix. cubytes doth the length therof conteyne, and foure cubytes the breadth of it, after the cubite of a man.


text:
And so we conquered this lande the same tyme, from Aroer whych is by the ryuer of Arnon, vnto halfe mount Gilead, & the cities therof gaue I vnto the Rubenites and Gaddites.


text:
And the rest of Gilead and all Basan of the kyngdome of Og, gaue I vnto the halfe trybe of Manasse: euen all the rygyon of Argob with all Basan: which is called the lande of gyauntes.


text:
Iair the sonne of Manasse toke all the region of Argob vnto the coastes of Gesuri and Maachati, and called them after hys owne name: Basan Hauoth Iair vnto thys daye.


text:
And vnto the Rubenites and Gaddites I gaue halfe Gilead vnto the ryuer of Arnon, halfe the valey & beyonde, euen vnto the ryuer Iabock, which is the border of the chyldren of Ammon:


text:
the playne also and Iordan and the coast therof, from Ceneroth euen vnto the see whych is in the playne, euen the salt see vnder the springes of the hyll, eastwarde.


text:
And I commaunded you the same tyme sayinge: the Lorde youre God hath geuen you thys lande to enioye it: ye shall go harnessed before youre brethren the chyldren of Israel, all that are mete for the warre.


text:
Youre wyues onely, youre chyldren, and youre catell (for I wote that ye haue moche catell) shall abyde in youre cyties which I haue geuen you,


text:
vntill the Lorde haue geuen rest vnto youre brethren as well as vnto you, and vntyll they also haue conquered the lande, whyche the Lord youre God hath geuen them beyonde Iordan: and then shall ye returne agayne, euery man vnto hys possession which I haue geuen you.


text:
And I warned Iosua the same tyme sayinge: thyne eyes haue sene all that the Lorde youre God hath done vnto these two kinges euen so shall he do vnto all kyngdomes whyther thou goest.


text:
O Lorde God, thou hast begonne to shewe thy seruaunte thy greatnesse and thy myghtye hande, for els where is there a God in heauen or in erth, that can do after thy workes and after thy power?


text:
But the Lorde was angrye wyth me for youre sakes, and wolde not heare me. And the Lorde sayed vnto me: be content, speake no moare vnto me of this matter.


text:
Get the vp into the toppe of the hyll, and lyfte vp thyne eyes westwarde, north warde, southwarde, and eastewarde, and beholde it wyth thyne eyes, for thou shalt not go ouer thys Iordan.


text:
But charge Iosua: and courage him, & bolden him. For he shal go before this people, and he shall deuyde vnto them the lande whyche thou shalt se.


text:
And now herken O Israel vnto the ordinaunces and lawes which I teache you, for to do them, that so ye maye lyue & go in and conquere the lande, which the Lord God of youre fathers geueth you.


text:
Ye shall put nothinge vnto the worde which I commaunde you, nether do ought therfrom, that ye maye kepe the commaundementes of the Lord youre God which I commaunde you.


text:
Youre eyes haue sene what the Lorde dyd vnto Baal Peor for all the men that folowed Baal Peor, the Lorde youre God hath destroyed from amonge you.


text:
Behold I haue taught you ordinaunces and lawes, soch as the Lorde my God commaunded me, that ye shulde do euen so in the lande, whether ye go to possesse it.


text:
Kepe them therfore and do them, for that is youre wysdome & vnderstandynge in the syghte of the nacyons: that they maye heare all these ordinaunces, and saye: Surely it is a wyse and vnderstandynge people: it is a greate nacyon.


text:
For what other nacyon is so greate, that Goddes come so nye vnto: as the Lorde oure God is nye vnto vs, in all thynges as oft as we call vnto him?


text:
Ye, & what nacyon is so greate, that hath ordinaunces & lawes so righteous, as all this lawe whyche I sett before you this daye?


text:
Take hede to thy selfe therfore, and kepe thy soule diligently, that thou forget not the thynges which thyne eyes haue sene, & that they departe not out of thyne harte, all the dayes of thy lyfe: but teache them thy sonnes & thy sonnes sonnes:


text:
Specially the daye that thou stodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord sayed vnto me: gether me the people together, and I wyll make them heare my wordes, that they maye lerne to feare me all the dayes that they shall lyue vpon the erth and that they maye teache their chyldren:


text:
ye came and stode also vnder the hyll, and the hyll burnt with fyre: euen vnto the myddes of heauen, & there was darcknesse, clowdes & myst.


text:
And the Lorde spake vnto you out of the myddes of the fyre, & ye herde the voyce of the wordes but sawe no ymage, saue herde a voyce onely.


text:
And he declared vnto you his couenaunt which he commaunded you to do, euen .x. verses, which he wrote vpon two tables of stone.


text:
And the Lorde commaunded me that same ceason, that I shulde teach you ordinaunces and lawes, which ye ought to do in the lande whether ye go to possesse it.


text:
Take therfore good hede vnto youre selues as pertaynynge vnto youre soules, for ye sawe no maner of ymage in the daye that the Lorde spake vnto you in Horeb out of the myddes of the fyre: lest ye marre youre selues


text:
the lycknesse of any maner of beast that is on the erth, or the lykenesse of any maner feathered foule that flyeth in the ayre,


text:
or the lyknesse of any maner worme that crepeth on the erth, or the liknesse of any maner fyshe that is in the waters beneth the erth.


text:
Ye and leste thou lyfte vp thyne eyes vnto heuen and when thou seyst the sonne, the moone and the starres with all the hoost of heauen, shuldest be desceaued, and shuldest worshippe and serue the thynges, which the Lorde thy God hath made to serue all nacyons vnder the whole heauen.


text:
But the Lorde hath taken you, & brought you out of the yron fornace: euen out of Egypte, to be vnto him a people and enheritaunce, as ye be this daye.


text:
Furthermoare, the Lorde was angrye with me for youre sakes, and sware, that I shulde not go ouer Iordan, and that I shulde not go in vnto that good land, which the Lorde thy God geueth the to enheritaunce.


text:
But I must dye in thys land, and shall not go ouer Iordan. But ye shall go ouer, and conquere that good lande.


text:
Take hede vnto youre selues, that ye forgett not the appoyntement of the Lorde your God whyche he made with you, and that ye make you no grauen ymage, or any pycture, that the Lorde thy God hath forbydden the.


text:
If thou dost beget chyldren childrens children, & whan ye haue dwelt in the lande, ye do wikedly, & make any maner of grauen ymage, and worke euell in the syghte of the Lord thy God, to prouoke him to anger,


text:
I call heauen and erth to recorde agaynst you thys daye, that ye shall shortely perish from of the lande, whether ye go ouer Iordan to possesse it: ye shall not prolonge youre dayes therin, but shall vtterly be destroyed


text:
And the Lord shall skater you amonge the nacyons, and ye shalbe lefte fewe in nombre amonge the people, whether the Lorde shall brynge you:


text:
and there ye shall serue goddes, whyche are the worke of mans hande, wood and stone, which nether se, nor heare, nor eate, nor smell.


text:
And there thou shalt seke the Lorde thy God: & shalt fynde hym, yf thou seke hym wt all thyne herte, and with all thy soule.


text:
Whan thou are in tribulacyon, and when all these thynges (that be here spoken of) are come vpon the euen in the later dayes, thou shalt be obedient vnto his voyce.


text:
For the Lord thy God is a mercyfull God: he will not forsake the, nether destroye the nor forget the appoyntement of thy fathers, which he sware vnto them.


text:
For aske of the dayes that are past, which were before the sence the daye that God created man vpon the erth, and (aske) from the one syde of heauen vnto the other, yf euer there came to passe soch a greate thing, or whether any soche lyke thynge hath bene herde.


text:
Dyd euer a nacyon heare the voyce of God speakynge out of the myddes of a fyre, as thou hast herde, and yet lyued?


text:
other whether God assayed to go and take hym a people from amonge nacyons thorowe temptacions, signes wondres, warre, a myghtie hande, a stretched out arme, and thorowe greate syghtes, accordynge vnto all that the Lord youre God dyd vnto you in Egypte before youre eyes?


text:
Unto the it was shewed, that thou myghtest knowe, howe that the Lorde he is God, and that there is none other but he.


text:
Out of heauen he made the heare his voyce, that he myght nourter the, and vpon erth he shewed the hys greate fyre, & thou heardest his wordes out of the myddes of the fyre.


text:
And because he loued thy fathers, he chose theyr seed after them, and broughte the out in his syght, & with his myghtie power out of Egipte:


text:
to thrust out nacyons great & myghtyer then thou, before the, and to brynge the in, & to geue the their lande to enheritaunce: as it is come to passe thys daye.


text:
Understande therfore thys daye, & turne it to thyne hert, that the Lorde, he is God in heauen aboue, and vpon the erth beneth: neyther is there any other.


text:
Thou shalt kepe therfore his ordinaunces, and hys commaundementes which I commaunde the thys daye, that it maye go well with the and with thy chyldren after the, & that thou mayst prolonge thy dayes vpon the erth, which the Lord thy God geueth the thy lyfe longe.


text:
that he shulde flye thyther, which had kylled hys neyghboure vnwares, & hated hym not in tyme past, & therfore shulde flye vnto one of the same cyties, and lyue:


text:
Namely, Bezer in the wyldernesse, euen in the playne contre of the trybe of Ruben: and Ramoth in Gilead of the trybe of Gad, and Golan in Basan of the trybe of Manasse.


text:
These are the witnesse, statutes, and ordinaunces, whych Moses tolde the chyldren of Israel after they came out of Egypte,


text:
on the other syde Iordan, in the valey ouer agaynst the house of Peor, in the lande of Sehon kynge of the Amorites which dwelt at Hesbon: whom Moses and the chyldren of Israel smote, after they were come out of Egypte,


text:
& conquered hys lande, & the lande of Og kynge Basan two kynges of the Amorites, whych were on the other syde Iordan towarde the sonne risynge:


text:
and all the playne on the other syde Iordan eastwarde: euen vnto the see, which is in the playne vnder the springes of the hyll.


text:
And Moses called all Israel, & sayed vnto them. Heare O Israel the ordinaunces & lawes which I speake in youre eares this daye, that ye maye lerne them, and fullfill them in ded


text:
The Lorde made not this bonde with oure fathers, but with vs: euen with vs, which are all here alyue thys daye.


text:
And I stode betwene the Lorde and you the same tyme, and shewed you the worde of the Lorde. For ye were afrayed at the syght of the fyre, and went not vp into the mount, & he sayed


text:
Thou shalt make the no grauen ymage of any maner of lykenesse that is in heauen aboue and that is in erth beneth, and that is in the waters benethe the erth.


text:
Thou shalt nether bowe thy selfe vnto them, nor serue them, for I the Lorde thy God, am a gelouse God, visytinge the wyckednesse of the fathers vpon the chyldren, euen in the thyrde & fourth generacyon, amonge them that hate me:


text:
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vayne: for the Lorde wyll not holde him gyltlesse, that taketh his name in vayne.


text:
but the seuenth daye is the Sabboth of the Lorde thy God: thou shalt not do any worke, thou and thy sonne, thy daughter, thy seruaunte and thy mayde, thyne oxe and thyne asse, and all thy catell, and the straunger that is within thy gates, that thy seruaunte & thy mayde maye rest as well as thou.


text:
Remembre, that thou wast a seruaunte in the lande of Egypt, and howe that the Lorde thy God brought the out thence thorowe a myghtye hande and a stretched out arme. For whyche cause the Lord thy God commaunded the, to kepe the Sabboth daye.


text:
Honoure thy father and thy mother, as the Lorde thy God hath commaunded the: that thy dayes maye be prolonged, & that it maye go well with the in the lande, which the Lord thy God geueth the.


text:
Thou shalt not luste after thy neygboures wyfe: thou shalt not couet thy neyghbours house, hys felde, hys seruaunte, or hys mayde, hys oxe, hys asse, or ought that thy neyghboure hath.


text:
These wordes the Lorde spake vnto all your multitude in the mount out of the myddes of the fyre, cloude and darcknesse, with a greate voyce, added nomore therto, and wrote them in two tables of stone, and delyuered them vnto me.


text:
And it fortuned, that whan ye herde the voyce out of the myddes of the darcknesse, & sawe that the hill dyd burne with fyre, ye came vnto me with the captaynes of youre tribes and youre elders:


text:
and ye sayde: beholde, the Lord oure God hath shewed vs his glorye and his greatnesse, & we haue herde his voyce out of the myddes of the fyre: we haue sene thys daye, that God doth talke wyth a man, and he yet lyueth.


text:
Nowe therfore, why shulde we dye, that thys greate fyre shulde consume vs? If we heare the voyce of the Lord oure God any moare, we shal dye.


text:
For what fleshe hath it bene, that euer hearde the voyce of the lyuynge God speakinge out of the myddes of the fyre (as we haue done) and yet dyd lyue?


text:
Go thou and here all that the Lord oure God sayeth, and tell thou vnto vs all that the Lord oure God sayeth vnto the and we wyll heare it and do it.


text:
And the Lorde hearde the voyce of youre wordes when ye spake vnto me, & the Lorde sayde vnto me: I haue herde the voyce of the wordes of thys people, which they haue spoken vnto the, they haue well sayed all that they haue spoken.


text:
Oh that ther were such an hert in them that they wolde feare me, & kepe all my commaundementes alwaye, that it myghte go wel with them, and with theyr chyldren for euer.


text:
but stande thou here by me, and I wyll tell the all the commaundementes, ordinaunces and lawes, which thou shalt teache them, that they maye do them in the lande which I geue them to possesse.


text:
Take hede therfore, that ye do in dede as the Lorde youre God hath commaunded you, & turne not asyde: ether to the ryghte hande or to the lefte:


text:
but walke in all the wayes which the Lorde youre God hath commaunded you, that ye maye lyue, and that it maye go well with you, and that ye maye prolonge youre dayes, in the lande which ye shall possesse.


text:
These are the commaundementes, ordinaunces and lawes whych the Lord youre God commaunded me to teach you that ye might do them in the lande whether ye go to possesse it:


text:
namely, that thou myghtest feare the Lorde thy God, and kepe all hys ordinaunces and hys commaundementes whych I commaunde the: thou and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne all dayes of thy lyfe, that thy dayes maye be prolonged.


text:
Heare therfore. O Israel, and take hede, that thou do therafter, that it maye go well with the, and that ye maye encrease myghtely, euen as the Lorde God of thy fathers hath promysed the a lande, that floweth wyth mylcke and hony.


text:
and thou shalt loue the Lorde thy God with all thyne harte, & with all thy soule, & with all thy might.


text:
and thou shalt shewe them vnto thy chyldren, and shalt talke of them when thou art at home in thyne house, and as thou walkest by the waye, and when thou lyest doune, and when thou rysest vp:


text:
and thou shalt bynde them for a sygne vpon thine hande. And they shalbe warnynges betwene thyne eyes


text:
And when the Lord thy God hath brought the into the lande, whych he sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham Isahac and Iacob, and geueth the greate & goodly cyties which thou byldedst not,


text:
houses full of all maner of goodes which thou fylledst not, and welles dygged which thou dyggedest not, vineyardes & oliue trees which thou plantedst not, and when thou hast eaten & art full:


text:
Then beware, lest thou forget the Lorde, whyche broughte the oute of the lande of Egypt from the house of bondage.


text:
For the Lorde thy God is a gelouse God amonge you, lest the countenaunce of the Lorde thy God be moued to wrath agaynst the, and destroye the from of the erth.


text:
But kepe the commaundementes of the Lorde youre God, and hys witnesses and his ordinaunces which he hath commaunded the,


text:
and thou shalt do that which is right and good in the syghte of the Lorde: that thou mayst prospere, and that thou mayst go in, and conquere that good lande whyche the Lorde sware vnto thy fathers,


text:
And when thy sonne asketh the in tyme to come, sayinge: What meaneth these witnesses, ordinaunces & lawes, which the Lorde oure God hath commaunded you?


text:
Then thou shalt saye vnto thy sonne: We were Pharaos bondmen in Egypte, and the Lorde brought vs out of Egipte with a myghtie hande.


text:
And the Lorde shewed signes & wondres greate & euell vpon Egypte, vpon Pharao & vpon all hys housholde, before oure eyes,


text:
but brought vs oute from thence: to brynge vs in, and to geue vs the lande which he sware vnto oure fathers.


text:
And he hath commaunded vs, to do all these ordinaunces, and to feare the Lorde oure God, for oure welth all the dayes of our lyfe, as it is come to passe thys daye.


text:
Moreouer thys shalbe oure ryghteousnes before the Lorde oure God, yf we take hede & kepe all these commaundmentes, as he hath commaunded vs.


text:
When the Lord thy God hath brought the into the lande whyther thou goest to possesse it, & hath cast out many nacions before the: namely, the Hethites, the Gergesites, the Amorites, the Cananites, the Pheresites, the Heuites & the Iebusites, seuen nacyons greater, and myghtier than tho


text:
and when the Lorde thy God hath sett them before the, thou shalt smyte them, & vtterly destroye them, and make no couenaunt with them, nor haue compassyon on them. Thou shalt make no mariages with them,


text:
For they wyll disceaue thy sonne, that he shuld not feare me and they shall serue straunge goddes, and then wyll the wrath of the Lorde waxe whote agaynst you, and destroye you shortely.


text:
But thus ye shall deale with them: Ye shall ouerthrowe theyr alters, & breake doune theyr pylers, cut doune theyr groues, and burne theyr grauen ymages with fyre.


text:
For thou art an holy nacyon vnto the Lorde thy God the Lorde thy God hath chosen the, to be a seuerall people vnto hym selfe, aboue all nacyons that are vpon the erth.


text:
It was not because of the multitude of you aboue all nacyons, that the Lorde had lust vnto you and chose you, seynge ye were fewest of all nacyons.


text:
But because the Lorde loued you, and because he wolde kepe the othe whyche he had sworne vnto your fathers, therfore hath the Lorde brought you oute of Egypte thorowe a myghtie hande, & delyuered you out of the house of bondage: euen from the hande of Pharao kynge of Egypte.


text:
Understande therfore, that the Lorde thy God he his God, & that a true God whych kepeth poyntment and mercy vnto them that loue hym & kepe his commaundementes, euen thorowe out a thousande generacyons:


text:
and rewardeth them that hate him before hys face, so that he bringeth them to naught, and doth not deferre the tyme, but rewardeth him that hateth hym, before his face.


text:
Kepe thou therfore the commaundementes, and ordinaunces and lawes, which I commaunde the this daye that thou do them.


text:
If ye herken vnto these lawes, and obserue & do them, the Lord thy God also shall kepe vnto the the poyntement, and the mercy which he sware vnto thy fathers.


text:
He wyll loue the, & blesse the, & multiplye the: he wyll also blesse the frute of thy wombe, and the frute of thy londe, thy corne, thy wyne and thyne oyle, & the frute of thine oxen, & the flockes of thy shepe in the lande, which he sware vnto thy fathers to geue the.


text:
Thou shalt be blessed aboue all nacyons: there shalbe nether man nor woman vnfrutefull amonge you, nor any thing vnfrutefull amonge your catell.


text:
Moreouer the Lorde will take awaye from the all maner infirmityes, and will put none of the euell diseases of Egypte (whiche thou knowest) vpon the, but wyll sende them vpon all them that hate the.


text:
Thou shalt consume all the nacions which the Lord thy God shall deliuer the: thyne eye shall haue no pytie vpon them, nether shalt thou serue theyr goddes, for that shalbe thy decaye.


text:
Thou shalt not feare them, but remembre, what the Lorde thy God dyd vnto Pharao and vnto all Egypte:


text:
the greate temptacyons whych thyne eyes sawe, and the sygnes, and wondres, and the myghtye hande and stretched out arme, where thorowe the Lorde thy God brought the out: euen so shall the Lorde thy God do vnto all the nacyons, of whom thou art afrayed.


text:
Moreouer the Lord thy God will sende hornettes amonge them vntyll they that are lefte, and hyde them selues from the, be destroyed.


text:
For the Lorde thy God wyll put out these nacyons before the by a lytle & a lytle thou mayst not consume them at once, lest the beastes of the felde encrease vpon the.


text:
But the Lorde thy God shall geue them ouer before the, and shall destroye them with a myghtie tempest, vntill he haue brought them to naught.


text:
And he shall delyuer theyr kynges in to thyne hande, and thou shalt destroye their name from vnder heauen. There shall no man be able to stande before the, vntyll thou haue destroyed them.


text:
The grauen ymages of theyr goddes shalt thou burne wyth fyre, & couet not the golde and syluer that is on them, nor take it vnto the, lest thou be snared ther in. For it is an abhominacyon before the Lorde thy God.


text:
Brynge not therfore abhominacyon in to thyne house, lest thou be a damned thynge, as it is: but vtterlye defye it and abhorre it, for it is a damned thynge.


text:
All the commaundmentes whych I commaunde the thys daye, shall ye kepe for to do them, that ye maye lyue and multiplie and go in, and possesse the lande whyche the Lorde sware vnto your fathers.


text:
And thou shalt thynke on all the waye, which the Lorde thy God ledd the thys .xl. yeare in the wildernesse, for to humble the, & to proue the, & to wete what was in thyne herte, whether thou woldest kepe hys commaundmentes or no,


text:
He humbled the, and suffred the to hongre, and fedd the with Manna, whych nether thou nor thy fathers knewe of, to make the knowe, that a man doth not lyue by bread only: but by euery that procedeth out of the mouth of the Lorde, doth a man lyue.


text:
Thys also shalt thou consyder in thyne herte, that as a man nourtereth hys sonne, euen so the Lorde thy God nourtereth the.


text:
Therfore shalt thou kepe the commaundementes of the Lorde thy God, that thou walke in his wayes, and feare hym.


text:
For the Lord thy God bryngeth the into a good lande, a lande in the whych are ryuers of water, and fountayns and sprynges that springe out of valeyes and hylles:


text:
a lande wherin is wheat & barly, vyneyardes, fygtrees and pomgranates: a lande wherin is oyle olyue and honie:


text:
a lande, wherin thou shalt eate bread wythout skarcenesse, neither shalt thou lacke anye thynge: a lande whose stones are yron, & out of whose hylles thou shalt dygge brasse.


text:
When thou hast eaten therfore and fylled thy selfe, thou shalt blesse the Lord thy God in that good lande, whych he hath geuen the.


text:
Beware, that thou forgett not the Lorde thy God, that thou woldest not kepe hys commaundmentes, hys lawes & his ordinaunces whych I commaunde the thys daye y


text:
and when thy beastes, and thy shepe are waxed manye, and thy syluer & golde is multiplied, and all that thou hast is encreased,


text:
then beware, lest thyne herte ryse & thou forgett the Lorde thy God, whych brought the out of the lande of Egypte, and from the house of bondage,


text:
& whych was thy gyde in the greate and terrible wyldernesse (wherin were) fyrye serpentes, scorpions, and drouth without any water. But he brought out water for the, euen out of the rocke of flynt:


text:
he fedd the in the wildernesse wyth Manna, whych thy fathers knewe not, euen for to humble the, and to proue the, and that he myght so do the good at thy later ende.


text:
Lest thou shuldest saye in thyne herte my power & the might of myne awne hande hath prepared me thys abundaunce:


text:
But remembre the Lorde thy God, howe that it is he which geueth the power to get substaunce, for to make good the promesse whych he sware vnto thy fathers, as thys daye doth wytnesse.


text:
And yf thou forget the Lorde thy God, and walke after straunge goddes, and serue them, & worshype them, I testifye vnto you this daye, that he shall surely perysh.


text:
As the nacions whych the Lorde destroyeth before you, euen so ye shall peryshe, because ye wolde not be obedient vnto the voyce of the Lorde youre God.


text:
Heare O Israel, thou passest ouer Iordan thys daye, to go in, and conquere nacyons greate & myghtier then thy selfe: cyties greate and walled vp to heauen,


text:
a people greate and tall, euen the chyldren of the Enakims, whych thou knowest of, and of whom thou hast herde saye: who wyll stande before the chyldren of Enack?


text:
Understande therfore thys daye, that the Lorde thy God is euen he whych goeth ouer before the as a a consumynge fyre, he shall destroye them and he shall brynge them downe before thy face. He shall cast them out, & brynge them to nought quickly, as the Lord hath sayed vnto the.


text:
Speake not thou in thyne hert (after that the Lord thy God hath cast them out before the) sayinge: for my ryghteousnes the Lorde hath brought me in, to possesse thys lande. Nay, but for the wyckednesse of these nacyons the Lorde hath cast them out before the.

It is not for thy righteousnes sake or for thy ryght hert, that thou goest to possesse theyr lande. But for the wyckednesse of these nacions, the Lorde thy God doth cast them out before the, euen to performe the worde, which the Lorde thy God sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Isahac and Iacob.


text:
Understande therfore that it is not for thy ryghteousnes sake, that the Lorde thy God doth geue the thys good lande to possesse it seynge thou art a stiffenecked people.


text:
Remembre & forget not, howe thou prouokedest the Lorde thy God in the wyldernesse, sence the daye that thou dyddest departe out of the lande of Egypte vntyll ye came vnto thys place, ye haue rebelled agaynst the Lord.


text:
whan I was gone vp into the mount, to receaue the tables of stone, the tables of appoyntment, whych the Lorde made with you. And Iabode in the hyll .xl. dayes & .xl. nyghtes, whan I nether dyd eate bread nor dranke water.


text:
And the Lord delyuered me two tables of stone, wryten with the fynger of God, & in them was accordynge to all the wordes which the Lorde sayed vnto you in the mount out of the myddes of the fyre in the daye, of the gatherynge together.


text:
And when the .xl. dayes & .xl. nyghtes were ended, the Lorde gaue me the two tables of stone, the tables of the couenaunt,


text:
and the Lorde sayde vnto me. Up, & get the doune quickely from hence, for thy people which thou hast broughte out of Egypte, haue marred all. They are turned attonce out of the waye, whiche I commaunded them, and haue made them a molten ymage.


text:
Furthermore, the Lord spake vnto me sayinge: I haue sene thys people, and beholde, it is a styffenecked people,


text:
let me alone, that I maye destroye them, and put out the name of them from vnder heauen, and I wyll make of the a myghtie nacyon, & greater than they be.


text:
And I turned me, and came doune from the hyll (euen from the hyll that burnt wyth fyre) and the two tables of the appoyntment were in my handes.


text:
And I loked, & beholde, ye had synned agaynst the Lorde your God, & had made you a molten calfe, and had turned attonce out of the waye whyche the Lord had commaunded you.


text:
And I fell downe flat before the Lorde: euen as at the fyrst tyme, and .xl. dayes & .xl. nyghtes I dyd nether eate bread nor drincke water, because of all youre synnes, whych ye synned, in doynge wyckedly in the syght of the Lord in that ye prouoked hym vnto wrath.


text:
For I was afrayed that for the wrath & fearsnesse wher wyth the Lorde was moued agaynst you, he wolde haue destroyed you. But the Lorde herde me at that tyme also.


text:
The Lorde was very angrye wyth Aaron also, euen to haue destroyed hym: & I made intercessyon for Aaron also the same tyme:


text:
And I toke youre synne the calfe whych ye had made and burnt hym with fyre, & stamped hym & grounde hym a good, euen vnto sinal dust. And I cast the dust therof into the brooke, that descended out of the mounte.


text:
lykewyse when the Lorde sent you from Cades Barne, sayinge, go vp, and conquere the lande which I haue geuen you ye disobeyed the mouth of the Lorde youre God, and nether beleued him, nor herkened vnto his voyce.


text:
And I fell downe flat before the Lord .xl. dayes, and .xl. nyghtes whiche I laye there, for the Lorde sayde, that he wolde destroye you.


text:
I made intercessyon therfore vnto the Lorde, and sayed: O Lorde God, destroye not thy people & thyne enheritaunce, whych thou hast delyuered thorow thy greatnesse, and which thou hast brought out of Egypte thorowe a myghtie hand.


text:
Remembre thy seruauntes Abraham, Isahac and Iacob, and loke not vnto the stoburnesse of this people, ner to theyr wickednesse & synne:


text:
lest the lande whence thou broughtest them, saye: The Lorde is not able to brynge them in to the lande, whych he promysed them: and because he hated them, therfore hath he caryed them out, to slaye them in the wyldernesse.


text:
Beholde, they are thy people, and thyne enheritaunce, whyche thou broughtest out in thy myghtie power and in thy stretched out arme.


text:
In the same ceason the Lord sayde vnto me hewe the two tables of stone lyke vnto the fyrst, and come vp vnto me in to the mount, & make the an Arcke of wood,


text:
& I will wryte in the tables, the wordes that were in the fyrst tables which thou brakest, & thou shalt put them in the arcke.


text:
And I made an arcke of sethim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like vnto the fyrst, and went vp in to the mountayne, hauynge the two tables in myne hande.


text:
And he wrote in the tables accordynge to the fyrst writynge (the ten verses whiche the Lorde spake vnto you in the mount out of the myddes of the fyre, in the daye of the gatherynge together) and the Lord gaue them vnto me.


text:
And I departed, and came downe from the hyll, and put the tables in the arcke which I had made: and there they be, as the Lorde commaunded me.


text:
And the chyldren of Israel toke theyr iourney from Beroth of the chyldren of Iakan to Mosera, where Aaron dyed, and was buryed, and Eleazer hys sonne became preast in hys stead:


text:
The same ceason the Lorde separated the trybe of Leui to beare the arcke of the appoyntment of the Lorde, & to stande before the Lorde, & to ministre vnto hym & to blesse in his name vnto thys daye.


text:
Wherfore the Leuites haue no parte nor enheritaunce wyth theyr brethren: But the Lorde is theyr enheritaunce, as the Lorde thy God hath promysed them.


text:
And I taryed in the mount, euen as at the fyrst time .xl. dayes and .xl. nyghtes, and the Lorde herkened vnto me at that tyme also, & the Lorde wolde not destroye the.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto me: vp, and go forth in the iourneys before the people, that they maye go in, and conquere the lande which I sware vnto theyr fathers, to geue vnto them.


text:
And nowe Israel, what doth the Lord thy God requier of the but to feare the Lorde thy God, and to walke in all hys wayes, to loue hym, and to serue the Lorde thy God with all thyne herte & with all thy soule:


text:
Namely, that thou kepe the commaundmentes of the Lorde, and hys ordinaunces whych I commaunde the thys daye, for thy welth.


text:
Beholde, heauen and the heauen of heauens is the Lordes thy God, and the erth wyth all that therin is:


text:
Notwythstondynge, the Lord had a lust vnto thy fathers to loue them, and chose theyr seed after them, euen you, aboue all nacyons, as thou seest thys daye.


text:
For the Lorde your God, is God of Goddes, and Lorde of Lordes, a greate God, a myghtye and a terrible whych regardeth no mans person nor taketh gyfte:


text:
He doeth ryght vnto the fatherlesse & wedowe, and loueth the straunger, to geue hym fode and rayment.


text:
Thou shalt feare the Lorde thy God, & hym (onely) shalt thou serue, to hym shalt thou cleue, and swere by hys nam


text:
he is thy prayse and thy God, that hath done for the these greate and terrible thynges, whych thyne eyes haue sene.


text:
Thy fathers went doune in to Egypte with .lxx. soules, and nowe the Lorde thy God hath made the & multiplyed the, as the starres of heauen.


text:
Therfore thou shalt loue the lord thy God & kepe his obseruaunces, his ordinaunces, hys lawes, & his commaundments alwaye.


text:
Call to your mynde this daye that which youre chyldren haue nether knowen nor sene: euen the nourture of the Lorde youre God, hys greatnesse, hys myghtye hande, and hys stretched out arme:


text:
his myracles and hys actes whych he dyd in the myddes of Egypte, euen vnto Pharao the kynge of Egypte and vnto all hys lande:


text:
& what he dyd vnto the host of Egypt, vnto theyr horses & charettes howe he brought the water of the red see vpon them as they chased you behynde, & howe the Lorde hath brought them to nought vnto thys daye:


text:
& what he dyd vnto Dathan and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab the sonne of Ruben, howe the erth opened hyr mouth, and swalowed them, wyth theyr housholdes and theyr tentes, & all theyr substance that was in theyr possession, in the myddes of Israel.


text:
Therfore shall ye kepe all the commaundmentes, whych I commaunde the thys daye, that ye maye be stronge & go in and conquere the lande whether ye go to possesse it,


text:
& that ye maye prolonge youre dayes in the lande which the Lorde sware vnto your fathers, to geue vnto them and to theyr seed, a lande that floweth wyth mylcke and honye.


text:
For the lande whether thou goest to possesse it, is not as the lande of Egypte that ye came out of, where thou sowedst thy seed and wateredst it wyth thy fete as a garden of herbes:


text:
but the lande whyther ye go ouer to possesse it, is a lande that hath hylles and valeyes, and drinketh water of the rayne of heauen.


text:
Thys lande doth the Lorde thy God care for, & the eyes of the Lorde thy God are alwayes vpon it, from the begynnynge of the yeare, vnto the ende of the yeare.


text:
If you shall herken therfore vnto my commaundementes, whych I commaunde you thys daye, that ye loue the Lorde youre God & serue him wyth all youre herte, & wyth all youre soul


text:
I also wyll geue rayne vnto youre lande in due ceason: the fyrst rayne and the later, that thou mayest gather in thy corne, thy wyne & thyne oyle.


text:
But beware that youre herte deceaue you not & ye turne asyde, and serue straunge Goddes, and worshyp them,


text:
and then the Lord beynge wroth agaynst you, shutt vp the heauen, that there be no rayne, and that youre lande yelde not her frute, and lest ye perysh quickly from of the good lande, whych the Lorde geueth you.


text:
Therfore shall ye put vp these my wordes in youre herte and in youre soule, & bynde them for a sygne vpon youre hande, that they maye be as a warninge betwene your eyes,


text:
and ye shall teach them youre children that they maye talke of them, when thou syttest in thyne house, and when thou walkest by the waye: when thou lyest downe, & when thou rysest vp:


text:
that your dayes maye be multiplied, & the dayes of youre children, in the land whych the Lorde sware vnto youre fathers to geue them, as longe as the dayes of heauen last vpon the erth.


text:
For yf ye kepe all these commaundmentes, which I commaund you so that ye do them: Namely, that ye loue the Lord youre God, & walke in all his wayes, and cleaue vnto him,


text:
Then wyll the Lorde cast out all these nacyons before you, and ye shalbe the heyres of great nacions and of them that are myghtyer then youre selues.


text:
All the places where on the soles of youre fete shall treade, shalbe youres, euen from the wildernesse and from Libanno, & from the ryuer Euphrates, euen vnto the vttemost see, shall youre coaste be.


text:
There shall no man be able to stande before you: for the Lorde youre God shall cast the feare & dreade of you vpon all the lande that ye shall treade vpon, as he hath sayde vnto you.


text:
And a curse: yf ye wyll not obeye the commaundmentes of the Lorde youre God: but turne out of the waye, whych I commaunde you thys daye, to go after straunge goddes, whych ye haue not knowen.


text:
When the Lorde thy God therfore hath brought the in to the lande, whether thou goest to possesse it, thou shalt put the blessynge vpon mount Garizim, & the curse vpon mount Ebal,


text:
whych (mountaynes) are on the other syde Iordan on the backe syde of the waye towarde the goynge doune of the sonne, in the lande of the Cananites whych dwel in the playne ouer agaynst Gilgal besyde the groue of Moreh.


text:
For ye shall passe ouer Iordane, to go in, and possesse the lande, which the Lorde your God geueth you, and ye shall conquere it, & dwell therin.


text:
These are the ordinaunces and lawes which ye shall obserue and do in the lande, whych the Lord God of thy fathers geueth the to possesse it, as longe as ye lyue vpon the erth.


text:
Ye shall destroye all places where in the nacions which ye shall conquere serued their Goddes, vpon hye mountaynes, on hylles, and vnder euery thyck tree.


text:
Ouerthrowe theyr alters, and breake theyr pilers, and burne their groues with fyre and hewe downe the grauen ymages of the Goddes that they haue, and bringe the names of them to noughte out of that place.


text:
but ye shall seke the place, whych the Lorde youre God shall haue chosen out of all youre trybes, to put hys name there, & there to dwell.


text:
And thyther thou shalt come, and thyther ye shall brynge youre burnt sacrifyces, your offrynges, youre tythes, and heue offrynges of youre hande, youre vowes, your frewill offerynges and the fyrst gendred of youre oxen and of your shepe.


text:
And there ye shall eate before the Lorde youre God, & ye shall reioyse in all that ye put youre hande vnto both ye and youre housholdes, wherin the Lord thy God hath blessed the.


text:
Ye shall not do after all the thynges that we do here thys daye, euery man what semeth hym good in hys awne eyes.


text:
But whan ye go ouer Iordan, and dwell in the lande whych the Lorde your God hath geuen you to enheret, and whan he hath geuen you rest from all youre enemyes rounde aboute, so that ye dwel in safetye,


text:
then vnto the place whych the Lorde youre God hath chosen, to put his name there, ye shall brynge all that I commaunde you: Namely, youre burntsacrifyces, youre offerynges, youre tythes, the heueofferinge of youre hande, & all youre speciall vowes, which ye vowe vnto the Lord.


text:
And ye shall reioyse before the Lorde youre God, ye and youre sonnes, & youre daughters, youre seruauntes and youre maydens, and the Leuite that is wythin youre gates for asmoch as he hath no parte nor enheritaunce wyth you.


text:
but in the place whych the Lorde shall haue chosen in one of thy trybes, there thou shalt offer thy burntofferinges, and there thou shalt do all that I commaunde the.


text:
Notwythstandynge thou mayst kyll and eate fleshe in all thy cyties, whatsoeuer thy soule lusteth after, accordynge to the blessinge of the Lorde thy God, which he hath geuen the both the vncleane and the cleane may eat therof, euen as the roo, or the hert:


text:
Thou mayst not eate wythin thy gates the tithe of thy corne, of thy wyne and of thy oyle, and the fyrst gendred of thine oxen, and of thy shepe, nether any of thy vowes whych thou vowest, nor thy fre wil offringes or heueofferynge of thyne hande:


text:
but thou must eate them before the Lorde thy God, in the place which the Lorde thy God hath chosen: thou, and thy sonne, and thy daughter, thy seruaunte and thy mayde, & the Leuite that is wythin thy gates: and thou shalt reioyse before the Lorde thy God, in all that thou puttest thyne hande to.


text:
If (when the Lorde thy God hath enlarged thy border as he hath promised the) thou saye: I wyll eate flessh, because thy soule longeth to eate fleshe: thou mayest eate fleshe whatsoeuer thy soule lusteth.


text:
If the place whych the Lorde thy God hath chosen to put his name there, be to farre from the, then thou shalt kyll of thy oxen & of thy shepe which the Lord hath geuen the, as I haue commaunded the, & thou shalt eate in thine awne cytie, whatsoeuer thy soule lusteth.


text:
And as the roo & the herte is eaten, euen so thou shalt eate them: both the cleane and the vncleane shall eate of them.


text:
But be stronge that thou eate not the bloude. For the bloude, that is the lyfe, and thou mayst not eate the lyfe wyth the fleshe:


text:
Se thou eate it not, that it maye go well wyth the, and wyth thy chyldren after the: But thou shalt do that, which is ryght in the syghte of the Lorde.


text:
But thy holye thinges which thou hast, and thy vowes thou shalt take, & come vnto the place which the Lorde hath chosen,


text:
and thou shalt offer thy burntoffringes, both fleshe and bloude vpon the alter of the Lorde thy God, and the bloude of thyne offeringes shalbe powred out vpon the alter of the Lord thy God, & thou shalt eate the flesh.


text:
Take hede, & heare all these wordes whych I commaunde the, that it maye go well wyth the, and wyth thy chyldren after the for euer, yf thou doest that whych is good and ryght in the syghte of the Lorde thy God.


text:
When the Lorde thy God hath destroyed the nacyons before the, whether thou goest to conquere them, & thou succedest in theyr inheritaunce, and dwellest in theyr lande:


text:
Beware, that thou be not taken in a snare after them, after that they be destroyed before the, and that thou aske not after theyr Goddes, sayinge: howe dyd these nacyons serue their Goddes? I wyll do so lyke wise.


text:
Nay, thou shalt not do so vnto the Lorde thy God: for all abhominacions, & that whych the Lord hateth, the same haue they done vnto theyr Goddes. For they burne both theyr sonnes and theyr daughters wyth fyre before theyr Goddes.


text:
Therfore whatsoeuer I commaunde you, that take hede ye do and put thou nought therto, nor take ought therfrom.


text:
and that sygne or wonder whych he hath sayde come to passe, and then saye: let vs go after straunge Goddes whych thou hast not knowen, and let vs serue them


text:
herken not thou vnto the wordes of that prophete or dreamer of dreames. For the Lorde thy God proueth you, to wete, whether ye loue the Lorde youre God wyth all youre herte and with all your soule.


text:
Ye shall walke after the Lorde youre God, and feare him, kepe his commaundmentes, and herken vnto hys voyce, serue him, and cleaue vnto hym.


text:
And that prophete or dreamer of dreames shall dye, because he hath spoken to turne you a waye from the Lorde youre God, (which brought you out of the lande of Egypte, and delyuered you out of the house of bondage) to thrust the out of the waye, which the Lorde thy God commaunded the to walke in: and therfore thou shalt put the euell a waye from the.


text:
If thy brother, the sonne of thy mother, or thyne awne sonne, or thy daughter, or the wyfe that lyeth in thy bosome, or thy frende which is as thyne awne soule vnto the, entice the secretly, saying: let vs go & serue straunge Goddes, whych thou hast not knowen nor yet thy fathers,


text:
And they be of the Goddes of the people which are rounde aboute you, whether they be nye vnto the or farre of from the, from the one ende of the erth vnto the other,


text:
Thou shalt not consente vnto him, nor herken vnto him: thine eye shall not pitie him nether shalt thou haue compassion on him, nor kepe him secret but cause him to be slayne.


text:
And thou shalt stone him wyth stones that he dye, because he hath gone aboute to thrust the awaye from the Lorde thy God, which brought the out of the lande of Egipte, and from the house of bondage.


text:
And all Israel shall heare and feare, and shall do no moare any soche wyckednesse as this is, amonge you.


text:
that certen men beynge the chyldren of Belial, are gone out from amonge you, and haue moued the enhabiters of their cytie, sayinge: let vs go and serue straunge Goddes, which ye haue not knowen.


text:
Then thou must seke, and make serche and enquere diligently. And beholde, yf it be true, and the thynge of a suertye, that soche abhominacion is wrought among you:


text:
then thou shalt smyte the dwellers of that cytie in the edge of the swerde, and destroye it vtterly, and all that is therin, and euen the very catell therof with the edge of the swerde.


text:
And gether all the spoyle of it into the myddes of the streate therof, and burne with fyre both the cytie & all the spoyle therof euery white for the Lorde thy God. And it shalbe an heape for euer & shall not be bylt agayne.


text:
And there shall cleaue naught of the damned thynge in thine hande, that the Lorde maye turne from the fearcenesse of hys wrath, and shewe the mercye, and haue compassyon on the, and multiplye the, as he hath sworne vnto thy fathers.


text:
Therfore shalt thou herken vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy God, to kepe all hys commaundmentes, whych I commaunde the this daye, that thou do it, which is ryght in the eyes of the Lorde thy God.


text:
Ye are the children of the Lord your God. Ye shall not cut youre selues, nor make you any baldnes betwene youre eyes for any deed man.


text:
For thou art an holy people vnto the Lorde thy God, and the Lorde hath chosen the, to be a seuerall people vnto hym selfe, aboue all the nacyons that are vpon the erth.


text:
And all beastes that cleaue the hoffe, and slytte it into two clawes, and chewe the cud, them ye shall eate.


text:
Neuerthelesse, these ye shall not eate of them that chewe cud and of them that deuyde and cleaue the hoffe: the camell, the hare and the conye: whych chewe cud, but deuyde not the hoffe: therfore are they vncleane vnto you:


text:
and also the swine, though he deuide the hoffe, yet he cheweth not cud, therfore is he vncleane vnto you: ye shall not eate of the flesh of soche, nor touche the dead carkesse of them.


text:
Ye shall eat of nothynge that dyeth alone: But thou shalt geue it vnto the straunger that is in thy cytie, that he eate it, or thou mayst sel it vnto an Aliant. For thou art an holy people vnto the Lorde thy God. Thou shalt not sethe a kyd in hys mothers mylcke.


text:
And thou shalt eate before the Lorde thy God, (in the place whych he hath chosen, and where he hath put his name) the tythe of thy corne, of thy wyne & of thyne oyle, and the fyrst gendred of thyne oxen & of thy shepe, that thou mayst learne to feare the Lorde thy God all waye:


text:
If the waye be to longe for the, so that thou art not able to carye it, & yf the place be farre from the, which the Lord thy God hath chosen to set his name there (and the Lord thy God hath blessed the)


text:
then shalt thou make it in money, & take the money in thyne hande, & go vnto the place whych the Lorde thy God hath chosen,


text:
and bestowe the money for whatsoeuer thy soule lusteth after: for oxen, & shepe, wyne & stronge drynke, & for whatsoeuer thy soule desyreth, and eate there before the Lorde thy God and be mery. bothe thou and thyne housholde,


text:
and the Leuite that is wythin thy gates, shalt thou not forsake, for he hath nether parte nor enheritaunce wyth the.


text:
At the ende of thre yeare, thou shalt brynge forth all the tythes of thyne encrease the same yeare, and laye it vp wythin thyne awne gates.


text:
And the Leuite whych hath no parte nor enheritaunce with the, shall come, & the straunger, the fatherlesse and the wedowe, which are within thy gates, shall eate & be fylled: that the Lorde thy God maye blesse the, in all the workes of thyne hande which thou doest.


text:
whosoeuer lendeth ought wyth hys hande vnto his neyghboure, maye not aske againe (that whych he hath lent) of hys neyghboure or of his brother: because it is called the Lordes fre yeare:


text:
yet of a straunger thou mayst call it home agayne. But he that is thy brother, him shall thyne hande remytt,


text:
Neuertheles there shall be no begger amonge you. For the Lord shall blesse the in the lande, whych the Lorde thy God geueth the, an enheritaunce to possesse it:


text:
so that thou herken vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy God, to obserue and do all these commaundmentes, which I commaunde the this daye.


text:
For the Lorde thy God hath blessed the as he hath promysed the, and thou shalt lende vnto many nacyons, but thou thy selfe shalt not borowe: And thou shalt raygne ouer many nacions, and they shall not raygne ouer the.


text:
Yf one of thy brethren amonge you be poore wythin any of thy gates in thy lande which the Lorde thy God geueth the, thou shalt not harden thine hert, nor shut to thyne hande from thy poore brother:


text:
Beware, that there be not a wycked poynte in thine hert, that thou woldest saye: The seuenth yeare, the yeare of fredome is at hande, and therfore it greueth the to loke on thy poore brother, and geuest him naught & he then crye vnto the Lord against the, and it be synne vnto the:


text:
But geue him, and let it not greue thyne hert to geue vnto him. Because that for thys thynge, the Lord thy God shall blesse the in all thy workes, & in all that thou puttest thyne hande to.


text:
The lande shall neuer be wtout poore: And therfore I commaunde the sayinge: Thou shalt open thyne hande vnto thy brother that is neady and poore in thy lande.


text:
If thy brother an Hebrue sell hym selfe to the, or an Hebruesse, & serue the sixe yeare, in the seuenth yeare thou shalt let hym go fre from the.


text:
but shalt geue hym of thy shepe, of thy corne, and of thy wyne, and geue hym of that, wher wt the Lorde thy God hath blessed the.


text:
And remembre, that thou wast a seruante in the lande of Egypte, and the Lorde thy God delyuered the thence: and therfore I commaunde the thys thynge to daye.


text:
And yf he saye vnto the I wyll not go awaye from the, because he loueth the & thyne house, and is well at ease with the:


text:
Then shalt thou take an aule, and nayle his eare to the doore therwith, & let hym be thy seruaunte for euer: And vnto thy mayde seruaunte thou shalt do lyke wise.


text:
And let it not greue thyne eye, whan thou lettest him go out fre from the, for he hath bene worth a double hyred seruaunte to the in hys seruice syxe yeres, And the Lorde thy God shall blesse the in all that thou doest.


text:
All the fyrst gendred that come of thyne oxen, and of thy shepe that are males, thou shalt halowe vnto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt do no worke with the fyrst gendred of thyne oxen, ner shere the fyrst gendred of thy shepe:


text:
Thou shalt eate it before the Lord thy God yeare by yeare, in the place whych the Lorde hath chosen, both thou and thyne housholde.


text:
If there be any deformyte therin, as yf it be lame, or blynde, or haue any other euell fauorednesse, thou shalt not offer it vnto the Lord thy God:


text:
But shalt eate it within thyne awne gates, the vncleane and the cleane indifferently, as the roo & the hert.


text:
Obserue the moneth of newe corne, that thou mayest offer passeouer vnto the Lorde thy God. For in the moneth whan corne beginneth to rype, the Lorde thy God brought the out of Egypte by nyght.


text:
Thou shalt therfore offer passe ouer vnto the Lorde thy God (and shepe and oxen) in the place whych the Lorde shall chose to put his name there.


text:
Thou shalt eate no leuened bread with it: but seuen dayes shalt thou eate vnleuened bred therwith: euen the bread of trybulacyon (for thou camest out of the lande of Egypte in haste) that thou mayst remembre the daye, when thou camest out of the lande of Egypte, all dayes of thy lyfe.


text:
And there shall be no leuened bread sene in all thy coastes seuen dayes longe, neyther shall there remayne any thynge of the fleshe which thou offrest the fyrst daye at euen, vntyll the mornynge.


text:
but in the place which the Lord thy God shall chose, to set his name in, there thou shalt offer Passeouer at euen, aboute the goynge downe of the sonne, euen in the ceason that thou camest out of Egypte.


text:
And thou shalt sethe and eate it, in the place which the Lorde thy God hath chosen, and departe on the morowe, & gett the vnto thy tente.


text:
Syxe dayes thou shalt eat swete bread, and the seuenth daye is a gatherynge together before the Lorde thy God: thou shalt do no worke therin.


text:

And thou shalt reioyse in that thy feast, thou and thy sonne, thy daughter, thy seruaunte, and thy mayde, the Leuite, the straunger, and the fatherlesse & the wedowe, that are wythin thy gates.

Iudges and offycers shalt thou make the in all thy cyties, whych the Lorde thy God geueth the thorowe out thy trybes: and they shall iudge the people ryghteously.


text:
Wrest not thou the lawe, nor knowe any persone, nether take any rewarde: for gyftes blynde the wyse, & peruerte the wordes of the ryghteous.


text:
That whych is iust and ryght, shalt thou folowe, that thou mayst lyue, and enioye the lande, which the Lorde thy God geueth the.


text:
Thou shalt plante no groue of whatsoeuer trees it be, nye vnto the altare of the Lorde thy God, which thou shalt make the.


text:
Thou shalt offer vnto the Lorde thy God no oxe nor shepe where in is blemysh or any deformite: for that is an abhomynacyon vnto the Lorde thy God If

and gone and serued straunge goddes, and worshypped them the sonne or moone or any of the hoost of heauen, which I haue not commaunded,


text:
& it is tolde the, and thou hast heard of it then shalt thou enquire diligently. And yf it be true, & the thynge of a suertye, that soche abhominacion is wrought in Israel,


text:
then shalt thou brynge forth that man or that woman (whych haue committed that wycked thinge) vnto the gates, and shalt stone them wyth stones, tyll they dye.


text:
At the mouth of two or thre witnesses shall he that is worthy of death, dye: and at the mouth of one wytnesse let no man dye.


text:
The handes of the wytnesses shalbe fyrst vpon hym, to kyll hym, and afterwarde the handes of the people, & thou shalt put the wycked awaye from the.


text:
If there ryse a matter to harde for the in iudgement betwene bloud and bloud, betwene plee and plee, betwene plage and plage, and the matters come to stryfe wythin thy gates, Then shalt thou aryse, and get the vp vnto the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen,


text:
and come vnto the preastes the Leuites, and vnto the iudge that shalbe in those dayes, and aske and they shall shewe the the sentence of iudgement.


text:
And thou must do accordynge to that, whych they of that place (which the Lorde had chosen) shewe the and thou shalt obserue to do, accordynge to all that they enfourme the.


text:
Accordynge to the sentence of the lawe which they teache the, & accordinge to the iudgement which they tell the, shalt thou do, and bowe not from that which they shewe the, nether to the right hande nor to the lefte.

And that man that will do presumptuously, and wyll not herken vnto the preast (that standeth there before the Lorde thy God to mynistre) or vnto the iudge, that man shall dye: and thou shalt put awaye euell from Israel.


text:
When thou art come vnto the lande whych the Lorde thy God geueth the, and enioyest it, and dwellest therin: & yf thou shalt saye. I wyll set a kynge ouer me lyke as all the nacyons that are aboute me:

But he shall not multiplye horses to him selfe, ner brynge the people agayne to Egypte thorowe the multitude of horses, for as moche as the Lord hath sayde vnto you: ye shall hence forth go no moare agayne that waye.

Also he ought not to multiplie wyues to hym selfe, lest his hert turne awaye, nether shall he gether him syluer and golde to moch.


text:
And when he is sett vpon the seate of hys kyngedome, he shall wryte hym out a copye of thys lawe in a boke, before the Preastes the Leuites.


text:
And it shalbe wyth him, & he ought to reade therin all dayes of hys lyfe, that he maye lerne to feare the Lorde hys God, & to kepe all the wordes of thys lawe and these ordinaunces, for to do them:


text:
and that hys hert aryse not aboue hys brethren, & that he turne not from the commaundement: to the ryght hande or to the lefte, but that he maye prolonge hys dayes in hys kyngdome: he, and hys chyldren in Israel.


text:
The Preastes the, Leuites, and all the trybe of Leuy must haue no parte nor enheritaunce wyth Israel: but shall eate the offringes of the Lorde, and hys enheritaunce:

text:
If a Leuite come out of any of thy cyties of all Israel, wher he is a soiourner, and come wythall the lust of hys herte vnto the place whych the Lorde hath chosen:


text:
he shall mynistre in the name of the Lorde hys God, as hys other brethren the Leuites do, whych remayne there before the Lorde.


text:
And they shall haue lyke porcyons to eate, besyde that whych commeth to hym of the patrimonye of hys elders.


text:
When thou arte come into the lande whych the Lorde thy God geueth the, se that thou lerne not to do after the abhominacions of those nacions.

or a sorcerar, or a charmar, or that counceleth wyth spretes, or a sothsayer, or that asketh at them that be deed.

text:
The Lorde thy God wyll styr vp vnto the a Prophete amonge you: euen of thy brethren, lyke vnto me vnto hym ye shall herken,


text:
accordynge to all that thou desyredest of the Lorde thy God in Horeb, in the daye of the gatherynge together, whan thou saydest: Let me heare the voyce of my Lorde God no moare, nor se thys greate fyre any moare, that I dye not.


text:
I will rayse them vp a prophete from amonge their brethren lyke vnto the, and wyll put my wordes in hys mouthe, and he shall speake vnto them all that I shall commaunde hym.


text:
And whosoeuer will not herken vnto the wordes which he shall speake in my name, I wyll requyre it of hym.


text:
But the prophete which shall presume to speake a worde in my name, whych I haue not commaunded hym to speake, or that speaketh in the name of straunge goddes, the same prophete shall dye.


text:
Euen when a prophete speaketh in the name of the Lord, yf the thynge folowe not nor come to passe, that is the thynge whiche the Lord hath not spoken. But the prophete hath spoken it presumptuously: Thou shalt not therfore be afrayed of him.


text:
When the Lorde thy God hath roted out the nacyons, whose lande the Lorde thy God geueth the, and thou succedest in their enheritaunce, and dwellest in theyr cyties, and in theyr houses:


text:
thou shalt appoynte .iij. cyties for the in the myddes of the lande whych the Lorde thy God geueth the to possesse it:


text:
thou shalt prepare the waye, and deuyde the coastes of thy lande, whych the Lorde thy God geueth the to enherete, into .iij. partes, that whosoeuer commytteth murther, maye flee thyther.


text:
Who so kylleth hys neyghboure ignorantly, and hated hym not in tyme passed: And when a man goeth vnto the wodd wt his neyghboure to hewe wood, and as his hande fetcheth a stroke wyth the axe do cut downe the tre, the heade slyppeth from the helue, and smyteth hys neyghboure that he dyeth: the same shall flye vnto one of the same cyties & lyue.


text:
Lest the executer of bloude folowe after the slayer whyle hys herte is whote, and ouertake hym, because the wayes is longe, and slaye hym, and yet there is no cause worthy of death in hym, in as moche as he hated him not in tyme passed.

And yf the Lorde thy God enlarge thy coastes (as he hath sworne vnto thy fathers) and geue the all the lande whych he sayde he wold geue vnto thy fathers,


text:
thou shalt kepe all these commaundmentes to do them, whych I commaunde the thys daye, that thou loue the Lorde thy God, and walke in his wayes euer, and adde .iij. cyties mo for the vnto those .iij.


text:
that innocent bloude be not shed in thy lande, whych the Lorde thy God geueth the to enheret, and so bloude come vpon the.


text:
But and yf any man hate hys neyghboure, and laye awayte for hym, and ryse agaynst hym, and smyte him that he dye, and then flyeth vnto any of these cyties:


text:
the elders of his cytie shall sende, and fetche him thence, and delyuer hym into the handes of the iustyce of bloude, that he maye dye.

text:
Thou shalt not remoue thy neyghbours marke, whych they of olde tyme haue sett in thyne enheritaunce, that thou shalt enheret in the lande, whych the Lorde thy God geueth the to enioye it.


text:
One wytnesse shall not ryse agaynst a man for any maner trespace, or for any maner synne, or for any maner faute, that he offendeth in. But at the mouthe of two wytnesses or of .iij. wytnesses shall the matter be stablyshed.


text:
then both the men whych stryue together, shall stande before the Lorde, before the Preastes and the iudges, which shalbe in those dayes,


text:
and the iudges shall make dyligent inquisicyon. And yf the witnesse be founde false, and that he hath geuen false wytnesse agaynst hys brother


text:
then shall ye do vnto hym, as he had thought to do vnto hys brother, and thou shalt put euell awaye from the.


text:
And other shall heare, & feare, and shall henceforth commyt nomore any soche wyckednesse amonge you.


text:
And thyne eye shall haue no compassyon, but soale for soule, eye for eye, toth for toth, hande for hande, fote for fote.


text:
When thou goest out to battel agaynst thyne enemyes, and seest horses and charettes, and people mo then thou, be not afrayed of them, for the Lorde thy God is wyth the, whyche broughte the out of the lande of Egypte.


text:
and shall saye vnto them: Heare O Israel, ye are come vnto battell agaynste youre enemyes let not youre hartes faynte, nether feare, nor be amased nor adread of them.


text:
And let the offycers speake vnto the people, sayinge: If any man haue bylt a newe house, and haue not dedicate it, let hym go & returne to hys house, lest he dye in the battell, and another man dedicate it.


text:
And yf any man haue planted a vyneyarde, & haue not made it comen let him go & returne agayne vnto hys house, lest he dye in the batell, and another make it comen.


text:
And yf any man be betrauthed vnto a wyfe, and haue not taken her, let him go and returne agayne vnto hys house, lest he dye in the battell, and another man take her.


text:
And let the offycers speake further vnto the people, and saye: If any man feare and be faynte herted, let hym go and returne vnto hys house, lest he make hys brothers hert faynte as well as hys.


text:
And when the offycers haue made and ende of speakynge vnto the people, they shall make captaynes of warre ouer them:


text:
And yf they answere the agayne peasably, and open vnto the, then let all the people that is founde therin, be tributaryes vnto the, and serue the.


text:
And when the Lorde thy God hath delyuered it into thyne handes, thou shalt smyte all the males therof wyth the edge of the swerde:


text:
But the wemen and the chyldren, and the catell, and all that is in the cytie, and all the spoyle therof, shalt thou take vnto thy selfe, and eate the spoyle of thyne enemyes, which the Lorde thy God hath geuen the.


text:
Thus shalt thou do vnto all the cyties whych are a greate waye of from the, and not of the cyties of these nacyons.


text:
But of the cyties of these nacions, which the Lorde thy God shall geue the to enheret, thou shalt saue alyue nothinge that bretheth.


text:
But shalt destroye them without redempcyon, namely the Hethites, the Amorites, the Cananites, the Pherezites, the Heuites, and the Iebusites, as the Lorde thy God hath commaunded the,


text:
that they teache you not to do after all their abhominacyons, whych they haue done vnto their goddes, & so ye shulde synne agaynst the Lorde youre God.


text:
When thou hast beseged a cytie longe tyme, and made warre agaynst it to take it, destroye not the trees therof, that thou woldest thrust an axe vnto them: But eate of them, and cut them not downe. For the trees of the feldes are no men, to come agaynst the and so besege the.


text:
Onely those trees whych thou knowest that they are not frutefull. those shalt thou destroye and cutt downe, & make bulworkes agaynst the cytie that maketh warre wyth the, vntyll thou subdue it.


text:
If one be founde slayne in the lande, whych the Lorde thy God geueth the to possesse it, and lyeth in the felde: and it is not knowne who hath slayne hym:


text:
Then thyne elders and thy iudges shall come forth, and mete vnto the cyties that are rounde aboute the slayne.


text:
And let the elders of that cytie whych is next vnto the slayne man, take out of the droue, an heyffer that is not laboured wyth, nor hath drawen in the yocke,


text:
and let the elders of that cytie brynge the heyffer vnto a harde valeye, whych is nether eared nor sowen, and strike of the heyffers necke there in the valey.


text:
And the Preastes the sonnes of Leui (whom the Lorde thy God hath chosen to mynistre, and to blesse in the name of the Lorde) shall come furth, and at theyr mouthe shall all stryfe and plage be tryed.


text:
And all the elders of the cytie that come furth to the slayne man, shall washe their handes ouer the heyffer that is beheaded in the valley,


text:
Be mercyfull Lorde vnto thy people Israel, whych thou hast delyuered and laye no innocent bloude vnto thy people of Israels charge: & the bloude shalbe forgeuen them.


text:
And so shalt thou put innocent bloude from the, when thou shalt haue done that whych is ryght in the syght of the Lorde.


text:
When thou goest to warre agaynst thyne enemyes, and the Lorde thy God hath delyuered them into thyne handes, and thou hast taken them captyue,


text:
and seest amonge the captyues a bewtifull woman, and hast a desyre vnto her, that thou woldest haue her to thy wyfe,


text:
and put her rayment that she was taken in from her, and let her remayne in thine house, and be wepe her father and her mother a moneth longe, and after that shalt thou go in vnto her, and marye her, & she shall be thy wife.


text:
And yf thou haue no fauoure vnto her, then let her go whether she lusteth: and sell her not for money, nor make cheue saunce of her, because thou hast humbled her.


text:
If a man haue two wyues, one loued and another hated, & they haue borne him chyldren, both the loued and also the hated:


text:
If the fyrst borne be the sonne of the hated: then when the tyme commeth that he dealeth hys goodes, amonge hys chyldren, he maye not make the sonne of the beloued fyrstborne, before the sonne of the hated whyche is in deade the fyrstborne:


text:
But he shall knowe the sonne of the hated for the fyrstborne, and geue hym dowble porcyon of all that he hath. For he is the fyrst of his strength, and to hym belongeth the ryght of the fyrst borne.


text:
Yf any man haue a sonne that is stoburne and disobedient, that he wyll not herken vnto the voyce of hys father and voyce of his mother, and they haue chastened him, and he wolde not herken vnto them:


text:
Then shall hys father and hys mother take hym, & brynge hym out vnto the elders of that cytie, and vnto the gate of that same place,


text:
& saye vnto the elders of the cytie: Thys oure sonne is stoburne and disobedyent, and wyll not herken vnto oure voyce, he is a ryoter, & a dronckarde.


text:
And all the men of that cytie shall stone him with stones vnto death. And thou shalt put euell a waye from the, and all Israell shall heare, and feare.


text:
If a man haue committed a trespace worthy of death, & is put to death for it, & thou hangest hym on tree:


text:
hys body shall not remayne all nyghte vpon the tree, but thou shalt burye hym the same daye. For the curse of God is on him that is hanged. Defyle not thou thy lande, whych the Lorde thy God geueth the to enheret.


text:
Thou shalt not se thy brothers oxe or shepe go astraye, & withdrawe thy selfe from them: But shalt brynge them agayne vnto thy brother.


text:
And yf thy brother be not nye vnto the, or yf thou knowe hym not, then brynge it vnto thyne awne house, & it shall remayne wyth the, vntyll thy brother aske after them, and then delyuer him them agayne.


text:
In lyke maner shalt thou do with his asse and so shalt thou do with hys rayment: and withall lost thynges of thy brother which he hath lost & thou hast founde, shalt thou do lykewise, and thou mayst not withdrawe thy selfe.


text:
Thou shalt not se thy brothers asse or oxe falle doune by the waye, & wythdrawe thy selfe from them: but shalt helpe hym to heue them vp agayne.


text:
The woman shall not weare that whiche pertayneth vnto the man, nether shall a man put on womans rayment. For all that do so, are abhominacyon vnto the Lorde thy God.


text:
If thou chaunce vpon a byrdes nest by the waye, in whatsoeuer tree it be or on the grounde, whether they be younge or egges, and the damme syttynge vpon the younge or vpon the egges: Thou shalt not take the damme with the younge.


text:
But shalt in any wyse let the damme go, and take the younge to the, that thou mayst prospere and prolonge thy dayes.


text:
When thou byldest a newe house, thou shalt make a batelment on the rouffe, that thou lade not bloude vpon thyne house, yf any man fall therof.


text:
Thou shalt not sowe thy vyneyarde with dyuerse seedes: lest the frute of the seede which thou hast sowen, and the frute of thy vyneyarde be defyled.


text:
Thou shalt make the gardes vpon the .iiij. quarters of thy vesture, where with thou couerest thy selfe.


text:
and laye shamefull thynges vnto her charge, and brynge vp an euell name vpon her, and saye: I toke thys wyfe, and when, I came to her, I founde her not a mayde:


text:
Then shall the father of the damsell and the mother brynge forth the tokens of the damsels virginite, vnto the elders of the cytie in the gate.


text:
And the damsels father shall saye vnto the elders: I gaue my daughter vnto this man to wyfe, and he hateth her:


text:
and lo, he layeth shamefull thynges vnto her charge, sayinge: I founde not thy daughter a mayde. And yet these ar the tokens of my daughters virginyte. And they shall sprede the vesture before the elders of the cytie.


text:
and mearce hym in an hundred sycles of syluer, and geue them vnto the father of the damsell, because he hath brought vp an euell name vpon a mayde of Israel. And she shalbe hys wyfe, & he maye not put her a waye all hys dayes.


text:
they shall brynge the damsell to the dore of her fathers house, and the men of that cytie shall stone her wyth stones to death, because she hath wrought folye in Israel, to playe the whore in her fathers house. And so thou shalt put euell a waye from the.


text:
If a man be founde lyenge wyth a woman, that hath a wedded husbande, they shall dye ether other of them: both the man that laye with the wyfe, & also the wyfe: and so thou shalt put awaye euell from Israel.


text:
ye shall brynge them both out vnto the gates of the same cytie, & shall stone them with stones to death: The damsell, because she cryed not beynge in the cytie: And the man, because he hath humbled hys neyghbours wife, and thou shalt put a waye euell from the.


text:
But yf a man fynde a betrauthed damsell in the felde, and force her, and lye wyth her. Then the man that laye wyth her shall dye alone,


text:
but vnto the damsell thou shalt do no harme: because there is in the damsell no cause of death. For as when a man ryseth agaynste his neyghboure & sleyeth him, euen so is thys matter.


text:
For he founde her in the feldes, and the betrouthed damsell cryed: and there was no man to suckoure her.


text:
Then the man that laye wyth her, shall geue vnto the damsels father .l. sycles of syluer. And she shall be hys wyfe, because he hath humbled her, and he maye not put her a waye all hys dayes.


text:
None that is gelded or hath hys preuye membres cutt of, shall come into the congregacyon of the Lorde.


text:
And he that is borne of a comen woman, shall not come into the congregacyon of the Lorde, no not in the tenth generacyon he shall not entre into the congregacyon of the Lorde.


text:
The Ammonites and the Moabites shall not come into the congregacyon of the Lorde, no not in the tenth generacyon, nor they shall neuer come into the congregacyon of the Lorde,


text:
because they met you not wyth bread and water in the waye, when ye came out of Egypt, and because they hyred agaynst the. Balaam the sonne of Beor of Pethor, of Mesopotamia, to curse the.


text:
Neuerthelesse the Lorde thy God wolde not herken vnto Balaam, but the Lorde thy God turned the curse to a blessynge vnto the, because the Lorde thy God loued the.


text:
Thou shalt not abhorre an Edomite, for he is thy brother: nether shalt thou abhorre an Egipcian, because thou wast a straunger in hys lande.


text:
The chyldren that are begotten of them shall come into the congregacyon of the Lorde in the .iij. generacyon.


text:
If there be amonge you any man that is vncleane, by the reason of vnclennesse that chaunceth hym by nyght, let hym go out of the host,


text:
and not come in agayne, into the hoost, but at euen let hym wasshe hym selfe wyth water, & then when the sonne is doune, let him come into the host agayne.


text:
and thou shalt haue a sharpe poynte vpon thy wepon: and when thou wylt ease thy selfe, dygge therwith, & turne and couer that whych is departed from the.


text:
For the Lord thy God walketh in the middes of thyne host, to rydd the, and to set thyne enemies before the. Therfore shall the place of thyne host be pure, that he se no vncleane thynge in the, and so turne him selfe from the.


text:
He shall dwell with the, euen amonge you in what place he hym selfe lyketh best, in one of thy cyties where it is good for hym, and thou shalt not vexe hym.


text:
Thou shalt nether brynge the hyer of an whore nor the pryce of a dogge into the house of the Lorde thy God, in any maner of vowe, for euen both of them are abhominacyon vnto the Lorde thy God.


text:
Thou shalt not hurt thy brother by vsury of money, ner by vsury of corne, ner by vsury of any thynge that he maye be hurt withall.


text:
Unto a straunger thou mayst lende vpon vsurye, but not vnto thy brother, that the Lorde thy God may blesse the in all that thou settest thyne hande to, in the lande whether thou goest to conquere it.


text:
When thou hast vowed a vowe vnto the Lorde thy God, thou shalt not slacke to paye it. For the Lorde thy God wyll surely requyre it of the, and it shalbe synne in the.


text:
but that which is once gone out of thy lyppes, thou must kepe and do, accordynge as thou hast vowed vnto the Lorde thy God of a frewyll, and as thou hast spoken wyth thy mouth.


text:
When thou commest into thy neyghbours vyneyarde, thou mayst eate grapes thy belly full at thine awne pleasure: but thou shalt put none in thy vessell.


text:
Euen so whan thou commest into thy neyghbours corne, thou mayst plucke the eares with thyne hande, but thou shalt not moue a sycle vnto thy neyghbours corne.


text:
When a man hath taken a wyfe and maried her, yf she finde no fauour in his eyes, because he hath spied some vnclennesse in her. Then let him wryte her a bylle of deuorcement, and put it in her hande, and sende her out of hys house.


text:
And yf the seconde husbande hate her, let him wryte her also a letter of deuorcement, and put it in her hande and sende her out of hys house: or yf the seconde man dye whych toke her to wyfe,


text:
her fyrst man whych sent her a waye, maye not take her agayne to be hys wyfe, after that she is defyled. For that is abhominacyon in the syght of the Lorde. And thou shalt not cause the lande to synne, whych the Lorde thy God shall geue the to enheret.


text:
When a man taketh a newe wyfe, he shall not go a warrefare, nether shalbe charged wyth any busynesse: but shalbe fre at home one yere, & reioyse with hys wyfe whych he hath taken.


text:
If any man be founde stealynge any of his brethren the chyldren of Israel, and abuseth him, or selleth him, the thefe shall dye. And thou shalt put euell awaye from the.


text:
Take heade to thy selfe as concernynge the plage of leprosye, that thou obserue diligently. And ye shall do accordynge to all that the Preastes the Leuytes shall teache you: Euen as I commaunded them, so ye shall obserue to do.


text:
Remembre what the Lorde thy God dyd vnto Mir Iam by the waye, after that ye were come out of Egypte:


text:

These are the wordes of the appoyntment, which the Lorde commaunded Moses, to make wyth the chyldren of Israel in the lande of Moab, besyde the appoyntment which he made wyth them in Horeb,


text:
and Moses called all Israel, and sayde vnto them: Ye haue sene all that the Lorde dyd before youre eyes in the lande of Egipt, vnto Pharao and vnto all hys seruauntes, and vnto all hys lande,


text:
and yet the Lorde hath not geuen you an herte to perceaue, and eyes to se, and eares to heare vnto thys daye.

For ye knowe, howe we haue dwelt in the lande of Egypte, and how we came thorowe the myddes of the nacions whych ye passed by.


text:
And ye haue sene theyr abhominacyons and theyr ydolles: (wod & stone, syluer and golde) whych were amonge them.

Lest there be amonge you man or woman, kynred or trybe, whose hert turneth awaye this daye from the Lorde oure God, to go and serue the goddes of these nacyons: & lest there be amonge you some roote that beareth gall & worm wod,

so that when he heareth the wordes of thys ooth, he blesse hym selfe in hys hert, sayinge. I shall haue peace. I wyll walke in the meanynge of myne owne hert, (Thou put the dronken to the thyrstye.)

So that the generacyon to come of youre chyldren, that shall ryse vp after you, and the straunger that shall come from a farre lande shall saye, when they se the plages of that lande, and the diseases wherwith the Lorde hath smytten it,


text:
howe all the lande is burnt vp with brymstone & salt, & that it is nether sowen nor beareth, nor any grasse groweth therin, lyke as in the place of the ouerthrowynge of Sodome, Gomor, Adama, & Zeboim: whych the Lorde ouerthrewe in hys wrath and angre:


text:
Euen then shall all nacions saye: wherfore hath the Lorde done of this facyon vnto thys lande? O howe fearse is thys great wrath?


text:
And men shalt saye: because they lefte the testament of the Lorde God of theyr fathers whych he made with them, when he brought them out of the lande of Egypt.


text:
For they went, and serued straunge goddes, & worshipped them: Goddes whych they knewe not, and whych had geuen them nought.


text:
And the wrath of the Lorde waxed whote agaynst thys lande, to brynge vpon it all the curses that are written in this boke.


text:
And the Lorde cast them out of theyr lande in angre, wrath, and greate indignacyon, and cast them into a straunge lande, as this daye beareth wytnesse.

text:
And the Lord thy God wyll turne thy captiuite, and haue compassyon vpon the, & wyll turne, and fet the agayne from all the nacions, amonge whych the Lorde thy God shall haue scatered the.


text:
Though thou wast cast vnto the extreme partes of heauen: euen from thence wyll the Lorde thy God gether the, & from thence wyll he fett the,


text:
& the Lorde thy God wyll brynge the into the lande whych thy fathers possessed, & thou shalt enioye it. And he wyll shewe the kyndnesse, and multiplie the aboue thy fathers.


text:
And the Lorde thy God wyll circumcyse thyne hert, and the hert of thy seed, that thou mayest loue the Lord thy God wythall thyne hert, and all thy soule, that thou mayst lyue.


text:
And the Lord thy God wyll put all these curses vpon thyne enemyes, and on them that hate the, & that persecute the.


text:
But thou shalt turne, and herken vnto the voyce of the Lorde, and do all hys commaundementes, which I commaunde the thys daye.


text:
And the Lord thy God wyll make the plenteous in all the workes of thyne hande, in the frute of thy bodye, and in the frute of thy catell, and in the frute of thy lande for thy welth. For the Lorde wyll turne agayne and reioyse ouer the to do the good, as he reioysed ouer thy fathers:


text:
If thou herken onely vnto the voyce of the Lord thy God, to kepe his commaundementes and his ordinaunces whych are wrytten in the boke of this lawe, and yf thou turne vnto the Lorde thy God wythall thyne hert and all thy soule.


text:
It is not in heauen, that thou neadest to saye: who shall go vp for vs to heauen, and fet it vs, that we maye heare it, and do it?


text:
Nether is it beyonde the see: that thou shuldest saye: who shall go ouer the see for vs, and fet it vs, that we maye heare it, and do it?


text:
For where as I commaunde the thys daye, to loue the Lorde thy God, to walke in hys wayes, and to kepe hys commaundementes, his ordinaunces, and hys lawes (yf thou so do) thou shalt lyue and multiplye, and the Lorde thy God shall blesse the in that lande, whether thou goest to possesse it.

But and yf thyne herte turne awaye, so that thou wylt not heare: but shalt goo astraye, and worshyppe straunge goddes, and serue them,


text:
I pronounce vnto you also this daye, that ye shall surely perysh, and that ye shall not prolonge youre dayes vpon the lande whether thou passest ouer Iordan, to go and possesse it.


text:
I call heauen & erth to recorde this daye agaynst you, that I haue set before you lyfe and death, blessynge & cursynge: Therfore chose lyfe, that both thou and thy seed maye lyue,


text:
that thou mayest loue the Lorde thy God, and be obedient to hys voyce, & cleaue vnto him. For he is thy lyfe, and the length of thy dayes, that thou mayst dwell vpon the erth whych the Lorde sware vnto thy fathers: Abraham, Isahac and Iacob, to geue them.


text:
and sayd vnto them: I am an hundred and .xx. yeare olde thys daye, and can nomore go out and in. Also the Lorde hath sayde vnto me thou shalt not goo ouer thys Iordan.


text:
The Lorde your God he wyll go ouer before the, and he wyll destroye these nacyons before the, & thou shalt conquere them. And Iosua he shall go before the, as the Lorde hath sayde.


text:
And the Lorde shall do vnto them, as he dyd to Seon and Og kynges of the Amorites, and vnto the lande of them, whom he destroyed.


text:
And the Lorde shall geue them ouer before youre face, that ye maye do vnto them, accordinge vnto all the commaundementes which I haue commaunded you.


text:
Plucke vp youre hartes therfore, and be stronge, dreade not, nor be aferde of them: for the Lord thy God him selfe doth go wyth the. He shall not fayle the, nor forsake the.


text:
And Moses called vnto Iosua, and sayde vnto hym in the syghte of all Israel: Be stronge & bolde, for thou must go with thys people vnto the lande, which the Lorde hath sworne vnto their fathers, to geue them, & thou shalt geue it them to enheret.


text:
And the Lorde he doth go before the: He shall not fayle the, neyther forsake the: feare not therfore, nor be discomforted.


text:
And Moses wrote this lawe, and delyuered it vnto the preastes the sonnes of Leui (whych bare the arcke of the testament of the Lorde) and vnto all the elders of Israel,


text:
& Moses commaunded them, sayinge: At the poynt of .vij. yeares in the solempnyte of the fre yeare, euen in the feast of Tabernacles,


text:
when all Israel is come to apeare before the Lord thy God, in the place whych he hath chosen: thou shalt reade thys lawe before all Israel in theyr eares.


text:
Gether the people together: men, wemen and chyldren, and the straunger that is wythin thy gates, that they maye heare, and lerne and feare the Lorde your God, and kepe, and obserue all the wordes of thys lawe,


text:
and that their chyldren whych knowe nothynge, maye heare, and lerne to feare the Lord your God, as longe as ye lyue in the lande, whether ye go ouer Iordan to possesse it.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: Beholde thy dayes are come, that thou must dye. Call Iosua therfore, and stande ye in the tabernacle of wytnesse, that I maye geue hym a charge. And Moses and Iosua went, and stode in the tabernacle of wytnesse:


text:
And the Lorde apeared in the tabernacle: euen in the pyller of the cloude. And the pyller of the cloude stode ouer the dore of the tabernacle.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: beholde, thou shalt slepe wyth thy fathers, and thys people wyll ryse vp, and go a whorynge after straunge goddes of the lande (whether they go) and will forsake me, and breake the appoyntment, whych I haue made wyth them.


text:
And then my wrath wyll waxe whote agaynst them, and I wyll forsake them, and wyll hyde my face from them, & they shalbe consumed. And moch aduersyte and tribulacyons shall come vpon them, so that then they wyll saye: Are not these troubles come vpon me, because God is not wyth me?


text:
And I also wyll surely hyde awaye my face in that daye, for all the euels sake whych they shall haue wrought in that they are turned vnto straunge Goddes.


text:
Now therfore write ye thys songe for you, and teache it the chyldren of Israel, and put it in theyr mouthes, that thys songe maye be my wytnesse agaynst the chyldren of Israel.


text:
For I wyll bryng them into the lande, (which I sware vnto theyr fathers) that floweth wt mylke and honye, & they shall eate, and fyll them selues, and waxe fatt, and turne vnto straunge goddes, and serue them, and blaspheme me, and breake my couenaunt.


text:
And then when moch myschefe and tribulacyon is come vpon them, thys songe shall answere them, as a wytnesse. For it shall not be forgotten out of the mouthes of theyr seed: for I knowe theyr imaginacyon, whych they goo about euen nowe, before I haue broughte them into the lande which I sware.


text:
And he gaue Iosua the sonne of Nun a charge, and sayd: be bolde, & stronge, for thou shalt bryng the chyldren of Israel into the lande, whych I sware vnto them, and I wyll be with the.


text:
And when Moses had made an ende of wrytynge out of the wordes of this lawe in a boke vnto the ende of them,


text:
take ye the boke of thys lawe, and put it in the syde of the arcke of the testament of the Lorde your God, that it maye be there for a witnesse against the:


text:
For I knowe thy stuburnesse and thy styffe necke: whyle I am yet a lyue with you this daye, ye haue bene disobedient vnto the Lord: and howe moch more after my death?


text:
Gather vnto me all the elders of youre trybes, & youre offycers, that I maye speake these wordes in theyr eares, and call heauen, and erth to recorde agaynst them.


text:
For I am sure that after my death, ye wyll vtterly be corrupte, and turne from the waye whych I haue commaunded you, and tribulacyon wyll come vpon you in the later dayes, because ye shall haue wrought wyckednesse in the syght of the Lorde, to prouoke hym thorow the workes of your handes.


text:
And Moses spake in the eares of all the congregacion of Israel the wordes of thys songe, vntyll he had ended them.


text:
My doctrine shall droppe as doeth the rayne, & my speach shall flowe as dothe the dewe, as the shower vpon the herbes, & as the droppes vpon the grasse.


text:
Perfecte is the worke of the most myghtye God: for all hys wayes are iudgement. He is a God of trueth, without wickednesse: ryghteous, and iust is he.


text:
Frowardly haue they done against him thorowe their deformities: not his owne children, but a wycked & frowarde generacyon.


text:
Do ye so rewarde the Lorde, O foolyshe nacyon & vnwyse? Is not he thy father & thyne owner? hath he not made the, and ordeyned the?


text:
Remembre the dayes of the worlde that is past: consydre the yeres from tyme to tyme. Aske thy father, and he wyll shewe the: thy elders, & they wyll tell the.


text:
When the most highest, deuyded the nacyons, and whan he separated the sonnes of Adam, he put the borders of the nacyons, fast by the multitude of the chyldren of Israel.


text:
He founde him in a deserte lande, in a voyde grounde, & in a rorynge wyldernesse. He led hym aboute, he gaue hym vnderstandynge, and kepte him as the apple of his eye.


text:
As an egle that stereth vp her nest and flotereth ouer her younge, & stretcheth out hir winges, so doth he take them vp, & beareth them on his shoulders.


text:
He caried him vp to an hye lande, that he myght eate the encrease of the feldes, And he fedd him wyth honye out of the rocke, and with oyle out of the most harde stone.


text:
Wyth butter of kyne, & mylcke of the shepe, wyth fat of the lambes and of fat rammes and he goates, with the fat of most plenteous wheate: and that thou myghtest drynke the most pure bloude of the grape.


text:
But he that shulde haue bene vpryght, whan he waxed fatt, spurned with his hele. Thou art well fedd, thou art growen thick: thou art euen laden with fatnesse. And he forsoke God his maker, & regarded not the God of his saluacyon.


text:
They offered vnto deuels, and not to God, euen to goddes whom they knewe not: to newe goddes that came newly vp, whom their fathers feared not.


text:
The Lorde therfore sawe it, and was angrye, because of the prouokynge of hys sonnes and of hys daughters.


text:
And he sayde: I wyll hyde my face from them, & will se what their ende shall be. For they are a very fro warde generacion, chyldren in whom is no fayth.


text:
They haue angred me wyth that whych is no God, and prouoked me wyth their vanyties. And I also wyll prouoke them with those whych are no people, I wyll anger them wyth a folyshe nacion.


text:
For fyre is kyndled in my wrath, & burneth vnto the botome of hell. And hath consumed the earth with her encrease, and sett a fyre the botoms of the mountaynes.


text:
They shalbe burnt with hunger, and consumed wt heate, and with bytter destruccion: I wyll also sende the teeth of beastes vpon them, with the furiousnes of serpentes in the dust.


text:
Without forth, shall the swerde robbe them of their chyldren: and within in the chamber, feare: both younge men and younge wemen and the suckelynges wyth the men of gray heades.


text:
I haue sayde: I will skater them abrode, and make the remembraunce of them to ceasse from amonge men.


text:
Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemye, lest their aduersaries shulde vtterly wythdrawe them selues, and lest they shulde saye: oure hye hande hath done all thys, and not the Lorde.


text:
Howe shulde one chace a thousande, and two put ten thousande to flyghte: excepte their maker had solde them, and excepte the Lorde had shutt them vp?


text:
For their vyne is of the vinyarde of Sodome, and of the feldes of Gomorra: Theyr grapes are grapes of gall, and their clusters be bytter.


text:
Uengeaunce is myne, and I wyll rewarde: their fete shall slyde in due tyme. For the daye of their destruccyon is at hande, and the thynges that shall come vpon them make haste.


text:
For the Lorde shall iudge hys people, and haue compassyon on hys seruauntes: whan he seyth that their power is gone, and that they be in a maner shut vp, or brought to naught and forsaken.


text:
The fat of whose sacrifyces they dyd eate and drancke the wyne of their dryncke offringes? let them ryse vp and helpe you, and be youre proteccyon.


text:
Se nowe, howe that I I alone am God, & there is none but I: I kyll, and wyll make alyue: I wounde, and I wyll heale: nether is there any that can delyuer out of my hande.


text:
If I whett the edge of my swerde, & myne hande take holde to do iustice, I wyll recompence vengeaunce on myne enemyes, & wyll rewarde them that hate me.


text:
I will make myne arowes droncke with bloude, and my swerde shall eate fleshe, & that for the bloude of the slayne, & for their captiuite, sens the begynnynge of the wrath of the enemye.


text:
Prayse ye hethen his people, for he will auenge the bloude of hys seruauntes, & wyll auenge hym of his aduersaries, and wylbe mercyfull vnto his lande, and to hys people.


text:
And Moses came and spake all the wordes of thys songe in the eares of the people, he and Iosua the sonne of Nun.


text:
and sayde vnto them: Sett youre herte vnto all the wordes which I testyfye vnto you thys daye: and ye shall commaunde them vnto youre chyldren, that they maye obserue and do all the wordes of thys lawe.


text:
And let it not be a vayne worde vnto you: for it is youre lyfe, and thorowe thys worde ye shall prolonge youre dayes in the lande whether ye go ouer Iordan, to conquere it.


text:
get the vp in to this mountayne Abarim. vnto mount Nebo, whych is in the lande of Moab ouer agaynst Iericho. And beholde the lande of Canaan, which I geue vnto the chyldren of Israel to possesse:


text:
And dye in the mount whych thou goest vp vnto, and thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people. As Aaron thy brother dyed in mounte Hor, and was gethered vnto hys people:


text:
because ye trespased agaynst me amonge the chyldren of Israel at the waters of stryffe, at Cades in the wyldernesse of zin: for ye sanctifyed me not amonge the chyldren of Israel.


text:
Thou shalt therfore se the lande before the, and shall not goo thyther vnto the lande whych I geue the chyldren of Israel.


text:
Thys is the blessynge wherwyth Moses the man of God blessed the chyldren of Israell before hys death,


text:
and sayde: The Lorde came from Sinai and shewed hys beames from Seir vnto them, and apeared from mount Pharan, and he came wyth thousandes of sayntes, and in his ryghte hande a lawe of fyre for them.


text:
And he loued the people. All hys sayntes also are in thy handes. They were smytten to go after thy fete, and to receaue of thy wordes.


text:
And he was in Israel kynge when the heades of the people, and the trybes of Israel were gathered together.


text:
Thys same also happen to Iuda. And he sayde: heare Lorde the voyce of Iuda, and brynge hym vnto hys people: hys handes shalbe good ynough for him, yf thou helpe hym agaynst hys enemyes.


text:
And vnto Leui he sayde: Thumim & vrim shalbe with the, & wyth euery one that is godly in the. Thou dyddest proue him also in the tentacyon & striuedst wyth hym at the waters of stryfe.


text:
He that hath sayde vnto his father and to his mother: I haue not sene him, And he that knewe not his brethren, ner knewe his awne chyldren, those are they that haue obserued thy worde, and shall kepe thy couenaunt.


text:
They shall teache Iacob thy iudgementes, and Israel thy lawe. They shall put cens before thy nose, and the burnt sacrifyce vpon thyne altare.


text:
Blesse Lord his fyrst frutes and accept the worke of his handes: smyte the loynes of them that ryse agaynst him, and of them that hate him, that they ryse not agayne.


text:
And of Ben Iamin he sayde. The Lordes derlynge shall dwell in saffetye vpon hym & the Lorde shall couer him all the daye longe, and he shall dwell betwene his shoulders.


text:
And of Ioseph he sayde: blessed of the Lord is his lande for the frutes of heauen, thorowe the dewe and sprynges that lye beneth,


text:
for the fyrst frutes of the principall mountaynes, and for the frutes that the hylles brynge furth for euer,


text:
and for the frutes of the erth, and fulnesse therof: and for the good wyll of hym that dwelt in the bushe, shall the blessynge come vpon the heade of Ioseph, & vpon the toppe of the heade of him that was separated from amonge his brethren


text:
his firstborne oxe hath be wtie, and his hornes are as the hornes of an vnycorne. And wyth them he shall trouble the nacyons together, euen vnto the endes of the worlde. These are also the many thousandes of Ephraim, & the thousandes of Manasses.


text:
They shall call the people vnto the hyll, and there they shall offer offerynges of ryghteousnes. For they shall sucke of the abundance of the see, and of treasure hyd in the sande.


text:
And vnto Gad he sayde: blessed be the rowme maker Gad: he dwelleth as a Lyon, that catcheth the arme wyth the heade.


text:
He sawe therfore his begynninge, and that there was a porcyon there to hyde the lawgeuer, and he came with the heades of the people, and executed the ryghteousnes of the Lorde and his iudgementes with Israel.


text:
And vnto Nephthali he sayde, Nephthali hath abundaunce of Gods good pleasure, & is fylled with the blessynge of the Lorde, & shall haue his possessyons towarde the southwest.


text:
And to Aser he sayde: Aser shalbe blessed with chyldren: he shalbe acceptable vnto his brethren, & shall dyppe his fote in oyle:


text:
There is none lyke vnto the God of Israel: which though he sit vpon the heauen as vpon a horse, yet is he thy helper, whose glory is in the celestiall places.


text:
The eternall God is thy refuge, & vnder the armes of the Euerlastynge God shalt thou lyue. He shall cast out the enemye before the, and saye, destroye.


text:
Israel then shall dwell in safetye, & alone. And the eye of Iacob shalbe vpon a lande of corne and wyne, and hys heauens shall droppe the dewe.


text:
Happye art thou o Israel, who is lyke vnto the? O people, that art saued in the Lorde, which is the shylde of thy helpe, and swerde of thy glorye. Thyne enemies haue lost their strength to the warde, and thou shalt treade vpon the heygth of them.


text:
And Moses went from the playne of Moab vp into mount Nebo and vnto the toppe of the hyll that is ouer agaynst Iericho. And the Lorde shewed hym all the lande of Gilead, euen vnto Dan,


text:
and all Nephthali and the lande of Ephraim & Manasse, & all the lande of Iuda: euen vnto the vtmost see,


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto hym. Thys is the lande whych I sware vnto Abraham, Isahac and Iacob sayinge: I wyll geue it vnto thy seed. I haue caused the also to se it wyth thyne eyes, but thou shalt not goo ouer thyther.


text:
So Moses the seruaunte of the Lorde dyed there in the lande of Moab accordynge to the worde of the Lorde.


text:
And he buryed him in a valey in the lande of Moab ouer agaynst the house of Peor, but no man knoweth of his sepulchre vnto this daye.


text:
Moses was an hundred and twentye yere olde when he dyed: hys eye was not dymme, nor hys naturall coloure abated.


text:
And the chyldren of Israell wepte for Moses in the playne of Moab thyrtye dayes. And the dayes of wepynge & mournynge for Moses were ended.


text:
And Iosua the sonne of Nun was full of the spryte of wysdome: for Moses had put hys handes vpon hym. And the chyldren of Israel were obedient vnto hym, and dyd as the Lorde commaunded Moses.


text:
accordynge vnto all the myracles and wonders which the Lorde sent him to do in that lande of Egypte, vnto Pharao & all his seruauntes & before all his lande:


text:
& accordynge to all that myghtie hande, & all the greate visions, which Moses shewed in the syght of all Israell.


text:
After the death of Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde, it happened also that the Lorde spake vnto Iosua the sonne of Nun Moses minister saying:


text:
Moses my seruaunt is deed. Now therfore vp & goo ouer Iordan: thou & all this people, vnto the lande the whych I geue vnto the children of Israel.


text:
All the places that the sooles of youre fete shall treade vpon, haue I geuen you, as I sayde vnto Moses:


text:
from the wildernes & this Libanon vnto the greate ryuer Euphrates: all the lande of the Hethites, euen vnto the great see towarde the going downe of the sonne, shalbe youre coaste.


text:
There shall not a man be able to withstande that all the dayes of thy lyfe. For as I was with Moses, so will I be with the and will not fayll the, nor forsake the.


text:
Be strong therfore and bolde: for vnto this people shalt thou deuyde the lande which I sware vnto their fathers to geue them.


text:
Onely be thou strong & as bolde as thou canst, that thou mayest obserue & do according to all the lawe, which Moses my seruaunt commaunded the. Tourne therfrom nether to the right hand, nor to the lefte: that thou mayste do wysely in all thou takest in hande:


text:
let not the boke of this lawe departe out of thy mouthe: But recorde therin daye & night that thou mayst obserue, & do according to all that is written therin. For then shalt thou make thy waye prosperouse, and then thou shalt do wysely.


text:
Haue not I commaunded the, that thou shuldest be stronge & hardye & not feare ner be faynt harted? For I the Lord thy God am with the, whether soeuer thou goest.


text:
Goo thorowe the myddes of the hoste, & comaunde the people, saying: prepare you vitayles: for after thre dayes ye shall passe ouer this Iordan, to goo in & enioye the lande which the Lord youre God geueth you, to possesse it.


text:
Remember the worde, which Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde commaunded you, sayinge: the Lorde youre God hathe geuen you reast, & hathe geuen you this land.


text:
Youre wyues, youre children, and youre catell shall remayne in the lande which Moses gaue you on this syde Iordan: But ye shall go before youre brethren armyd, all that be men of warre, and helpe them


text:
vntill the Lorde haue geuen youre brethren reast, as he hathe you, and vntill they also haue obtayned the lande, which the Lorde youre God geueth them. And then shall ye retourne vnto the lande of youre possession & enioye it, which lande Moses the Lordes seruaunt gaue you on this syde Iordan towarde the sonne rysynge.


text:
And they answered Iosua sayinge: All that thou hast commaunded vs, we will do, and whether soeuer thou sendest vs, we wyll go.


text:
According as we obeyed Moses in all thinges, so wyll we obeye the: onlye the Lorde thy God be with the as he was with Moses.


text:
And whosoeuer he be that doth dysobeye thy mouth, and will not herken vnto thy wordes in all that thou commaundest him, let him dye: Onlye be strong and of good courage.


text:
And Iosua the sonne of Nun sent out of Settim two men to spye secretlye, sayinge: go & vewe the lande and also Iericho. And they went, and came into a harlotes house, named Rahab, & lodged there.


text:
And it was tolde the kynge of Iericho, and sayd: Beholde, there came men in hyther to nyght, of the children of Israel, to spye out the countrey.


text:
And the kyng of Iericho sent vnto Rahab saying: brynge forth the men that are come to the, & which are entred into thyne house: for they be come to searche out all the lande.


text:
And the woman toke the two men & hid them. And sayde thus: in dede there came men vnto me, but I wist not whence they were.


text:
And aboute the tyme of the shuttynge of the gate when it was darcke, the men went out, whether the men went I wot not: folowe ye after them quycklye, & ye shall ouer take them.


text:
But she brought them vp to the rooffe of the house, and hydd them wt the stalckes of flaxe, which she had lyinge abroade vpon the rooffe.


text:
And the men of the cytye pursued after them, the waye to Iordan, euen vnto the ferie, and as sone as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shutt the gate.


text:
& sayde vnto the men: I knowe, that the Lorde hathe geuen you the lande for the feare of you is fallen vpon vs, & the enhabiters of the land faynt at the presence of you.


text:
For we haue heard, how the Lorde dried vp the water of the redd see before you when you came out of Egypte, & what you dyd vnto the two kynges of the Amorites, that were on the other side Iordan Sehon, & Og, whom ye vtterlye destroyed.


text:
And as sone as we had heard these thynges oure hertes dyd fainte. And there remayned no moare courage in any man at the presence of you. For the Lord youre God, he is the God in heauen aboue, & on the erth benethe.


text:
Now therfore (I pray you) sweare vnto me by the Lorde, that as I haue shewed you mercie, ye shall also shewe mercie vnto my fathers house, & geue me a true token.


text:
And that ye shall saue alyue, bothe my father, & my mother, my brethren, & my systers, and all that they haue. And that ye shall delyuer oure soules from death.


text:
And the men answered her: oure liues for you to dye, yf ye vtter not this oure busines. And when the Lord hathe geuen vs the land, we will deale mercifully & truly with the.


text:
And then she lett them downe by a coarde, thorow a windowe: For her house was by the towne wall. And she dwelt by the towne wall.


text:
And she sayd vnto them: gett you into the mountayne, lest the pursuers mete you, & hyde youre selues there thre dayes, vntill the pursuars be returned and then shall ye goo youre awne waye.


text:
Beholde, when we come into the lande, thou shalt bynde this purple coarde in the window, which thou lattest vs downe bye. And thou shalt bring thy father, & thy mother, thy brethren, and all thy fathers houshold, euen into thy house.


text:
And then whosoeuer doth go out at the dores of thy house, into the streat, his bloude shalbe vpon his awne head, & we wilbe giltlesse. And whosoeuer shalbe with the in the house, hys bloude shall be on oure heade, yf any mannes hande touche him:


text:
And she sayde: accordinge vnto youre wordes, so be it: and she sent them awaye to departe. And she bounde the purple coarde in the window.


text:
And they departed, and came into the mountayne, and there aboade thre dayes, vntill the pursuars were returned. And the pursuars sought them thorowe out all the waye but founde them not.


text:
And the two men returned, & descended from the mountayne, and passed ouer, and came to Iosua the sonne of Nun, and tolde hym all that had chaunced them.


text:
And they sayd vnto Iosua: the Lord truly hathe delyuered into oure handes all the lande, and all the inhabiters of the contrey faynte at the presence of vs.


text:
And Iosua rose erlye: and they remoued from Settim, & came to Iordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there, before they went ouer.


text:
and commaunded the people sayinge: when ye se the arcke of the testament of the Lord youre God, & the preastes that are Leuites bearing it: ye shall departe from youre place, & go after it.


text:
So yet that there shall be a space betwene you & it, aboute a two thousande cubites by measure. And ye shal not come nye vnto it, that ye maye knowe the waye, by which ye must go: for ye haue not gone this waye in tymes past


text:
And Iosua sayd vnto the people: Sanctifie youre selues, for tomorowe the Lorde shall do wonders amonge you.


text:
And Iosua spake vnto the preastes, saying: Take vp the arcke of the couenaunt: & go before the people. And they toke vp the arcke of the testament, and went before the people.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Iosua: this daye will I begynne to magnifie the, in the syght of all Israel, that they maye knowe how that as I was with Moses so wyll I be with the.


text:
And thou shalt commaunde the preastes that beare the arcke of the couenaunt saying: when ye are come to the edge of the waters of Iordan, ye shall stande still in it.


text:
And Iosua sayde, Herbye ye shall knowe that the liuyng God is among you, & that he will wythout fayle cast out before you, the Cananites, & the Hethites, the Heuites, the Pheresites, the Gergesites, the Amorites, & the Iebusites.


text:
And as sone as the sooles of the fete of the preasts (that beare the arcke of the Lord the Gouernour of all the world) tread in the waters of Iordan, the waters of Iordan shall be deuided: & the waters that come from aboue, shall stande still vpon an heape.


text:
And it fortuned, that when the people were departed from their tentes to goo ouer Iordan, the preastes bearyng the arcke of the appointment, went before the people.


text:
And as sone as they that bare the arcke came vnto Iordan, & the fete of the preastes that bare the arcke were dipped in the brym of the water (For Iordan vseth to fill all hys banckes all the tyme of haruest)


text:
the waters also that came downe from aboue, did ryse vp vpon an heape and departed farre from Adam, that was besyde Zarthan, And the waters that were beneth to ward the see of the wildernes, fell awaye & departed into the salt see, and the people went ryght ouer agaynst Iericho,


text:
And the preastes that bare the arcke of the appointement of the Lorde, stoode drye within Iordane ready prepared, & all the Israelites went ouer thorow the drye, vntill all the people were gone cleane ouer thorow Iordan,


text:
And it fortuned, that whan the people. were all gone ouer Iordan, the Lorde spake vnto Iosua, sayinge:


text:
Take you twelue men out of the people, out of euery trybe a man. And commaunde you them, sayinge: take you hence out of the myddes of Iordan


text:
(euen out of the place where the preastes stoode in a redynes) twelue stones, which ye shall take awaye with you, and leaue them in the place, where you shal lodge this night.


text:
And Iosua called the twelue men, which he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of euery trybe a man,


text:
and Iosua sayde vnto them: gett you before the arcke of the Lord youre God, euen thorow the myddes of Iordan and take vp euery man of you a stone vpon his shulder, according vnto the nombre of the trybes of the children of Israel,


text:
that this maye be a signe among you. That when youre children aske thier fathers in tyme to come, sayinge: what meane these stones with you?


text:
Ye maye answere them how that the waters of Iordan deuyded at the presence of the arcke of the appoyntement of the Lorde. For whan it went ouer Iordan, the waters of Iordan deuided: And these stones are become a memoriall vnto the children of Israel for euer.


text:
And the children of Israel dyd euen so as Iosua commaunded, and toke vp twelue stones out of the myddes of Iordan, as the Lorde sayde vnto Iosua, accordynge to the nombre of the tribes of the children of Israel, & caryed them awaye with them vnto the place where they lodged, & layed them doune there.


text:
And Iosua set vp twelue stones also in the myddes of Iordan, in the place where the fete of the preastes which bare the arcke of the testament, stode. And there haue they continued vnto this daye.


text:
For the preastes which bare the arcke stode in the myddes of Iordan, vntill all was finisshed that the Lorde commaunded Iosua to saye vnto the people, according to all that Moses charged Iosua. And the people hasted, and went ouer.


text:
It fortuned also, that whan all the people were cleane ouer, the arke of the Lord went ouer also, & the preastes before the people.


text:
And the children of Ruben, & the children of Gad, & halfe the tribe of Manasses went before the children of Israel armed, as Moses charged them.


text:
Euen fourty thousande prepared for warre, went before the Lorde vnto battell, thorow the playne of Iericho.


text:
That daye the Lorde magnified Iosua in the sight of all Israel, and they feared him, as they feared Moses all dayes of his lyfe.


text:
And when the preastes that bare the arcke of the apoyntment of the Lorde were come vp out of the myddes of Iordan, and as sone as the soales of the preastes fete were set on the drye land, the waters of Iordan retourned agayne vnto their place, & went ouer all their banckes, as they dyd before.


text:
And the people came vp out of Iordan the tenth daye of the fyrst moneth, and pitched in Gilgal, euen in the east border of the cyte Iericho.


text:
And he spake vnto the children of Israel, saying: Yf youre children aske their fathers in tyme to come, & saye: what meane these stones?


text:
For the Lord youre God dryed vp the water of Iordan before you, vntill ye were gone ouer, as the Lorde youre God dyd the red see which he dryed vp before vs, tyll we were gone ouer:


text:
that all the people of the worlde maye knowe the hande of the Lord, how myghtie it is, and that ye might feare the Lord youre God for euer.


text:
And it fortuned that when all the kinges of the Amorites which are beyond Iordan west warde, & all the kinges of the Cananites which were by the see, hearde, how the Lorde had dryed vp the waters of Iordan before the children of Israel, vntill they wer gone ouer theyr hertes fainted for feare. And ther was no sprete in them any moare, for the presence of the children of Israel.


text:
That same tyme the Lorde sayde vnto Iosua: Make the sharpe knyues (of stone) & goo to agayne and circumcise the children of Israel the seconde tyme.


text:
And Iosua made him sharpe knyues (of stone) & circuncised the children of Israel in the place called the hille of the foreskynnes.


text:
And this is the cause why Iosua circucised all the people that came out of Egipte: Namely such as were males because that all the men of warre, died in the wildernes by the waye, after they came out of Egypte.


text:
For all the people that came out were circumcised. But all the people that were borne in the wildernesse by the waye after they came out of Egypte, were not circumcised.


text:
For the children of Israel walked fourty yeres in the wildernesse, tyll all the people of the men of warre that came out of Egipte were consumed, because they harkened not vnto the voyce of the Lorde. Wherfore the Lorde sware, that he wolde not shewe them the land which the Lord sware vnto theyr fathers, that he wolde geue vs, euen a lande that floweth wyth milke & honye.


text:
And their children whom he sett vp in their stead: them Iosua circumcised: for they were vncircumcised, because they circumcised them not by the waye.


text:
And when they had circumcised all the people, they abode styll together in the hoste till they were whole.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Iosua: this daye I haue taken awaye the shame of Egipte from you: wherfore the name of the same place is called Gilgal vnto this daye.


text:
And the children of Israel abode in Gilgall and helde the feast of passeouer the fourtene daye of the moneth at euen in the playne of Ierico.


text:
And they did eat of the corne of the land on the morowe after passeouer swete cakes & parched corne in the selfe same daye.


text:
For the Manna ceased on the morowe, after they had begonne to eat of the corne of the lande, nether had the children of Israel Manna any moare, but dyd eat of the corne of the lande of Canaan that yere.


text:
And it fortuned that when Iosua was nye to Iericho, he lyfte vp his eyes & loked: and behold, there stode a man against him, hauyng a swerde drawen in his hande. And Iosua went vnto him, and sayde vnto him: arte thou on oure syde or on oure aduersaries.


text:
And he sayde, Naye, but as a captayne of the hoste of the lord am I now come. And Iosua fell on his face to the erth, and dyd reuerence, & sayde vnto hym, what sayth my Lorde vnto hys seruaunt?


text:
And the captayne of the Lordes hoste sayde vnto Iosua: do thy shoo of thy fote, for the place wheron thou standest, is holy. And Iosua did so.


text:
And Iericho was shut vp, & locked because of the children of Israel, nether myght anye man go out or in.


text:
And the Lord sayd vnto Iosua: beholde, I haue geuen into thyne hand Iericho and her kynge and the strong men of warre.


text:
And ye shall compasse the cytie, all ye that be men of warre, & go rounde aboute it once and so shall you do syxe dayes.


text:
And seuen preastes shall beare before the Arke, seuen trompettes of rammes hornes. And the seuenth daye, ye shal compasse the cytie seuen tymes, and the preastes shall blowe with the trompettes.


text:
And when they make a longe blaste wyth the rammes horne, & ye heare the sounde of the horne, all the people shal showte wt a great showte. And then shall the wall of the citie fall doune, and the people shall ascende vp, euery man streight before him.


text:
And Iosua the sonne of Nun, called the preastes, and sayde vnto them: take vp the arcke of the appointement, & lett seuen preastes beare seuen trompettes of rammes hornes before the arcke of the Lorde,


text:
And he sayde vnto the people, go and compasse the cytie: and lett him that is harnessed, go before the arcke of the Lorde.


text:
And when Iosua had spoken vnto the people, the seuen preastes bare the seuen trompettes of rammes hornes, and went forth before the arcke of the Lorde, & blewe with the trompettes, and the arcke of the couenaunt of the Lorde folowed them.


text:
And all the men of armes went before the Preastes, that blewe with the trompettes, and the commen people came after the arke: and the prestes that went blewe with trompettes.


text:
And Iosua commaunded the people sayinge: Ye shall not showte, ner make any noyse wt youre voyce, neither shal any worde procede out of youre mouthe, vntill the daye I bid you showte, then shall ye showte.


text:
And so the arcke of the Lord compased the cytie, and went aboute it once: and they retourned into the hoste, and lodged there.


text:
and seuen Preastes bare seuen trompettes of rammes hornes, & went before the arcke of the Lorde, and blew with the trompettes. And all the men of armes went before them, but the comen people came after the arcke of the Lorde, which went before with the blowing of the trompettes.


text:
And the seconde daye they compased the cytie once, & retourned agayne into the hoste, & so they dyd sixe dayes.


text:
And when the seuenth daye came, they rose erlye: euen with the dawninge of the daye, and compased the cytie after the same maner seuen tymes: only that daye they compased the cytie seuen tymes.


text:
And at the seuenth tyme, whan the preastes blewe wt the trompettes, Iosua sayd vnto the people: showt, for the Lorde hath geuen you the cytie.


text:
And the cytie shalbe damned bothe it and all that are therin, vnto the Lorde: onlye Rahab the harlot shall lyue, and all that are with her in the house, because she hidd the messengers that we sent.


text:
And in anywise be ye ware of the excommunicate thinges, lest ye make youre selues excommunicate, & take of the excommunicate thinges, and make the hoste of Israel excommunicate and trouble it.


text:
But all the siluer, golde, vesselles of brasse, & yron shalbe consecrate vnto the Lorde, & shal come into his treasurie.


text:
And the people showted, and blewe wyth trompettes. And when the people heard the sounde of the trompe, they showted wt a great showt: & the wall fell downe, so that the people went vp into the cytie, euery man streyght before him,


text:
& toke the citie. And they vtterly destroyed all that was in the cytie, bothe man and woman, younge and olde, oxe, shepe & Asse, with the edge of the swerde.


text:
Then Iosua sayde vnto the two men that had spyed out the contreye: goo into the harlottes house, and bringe out thense the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware to her,


text:
And the younge men that were spyes, went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father and mother and her brethren, and all that she had. And they brought out all her kinred, & put them without the hoste of Israel


text:
And they burnt the cytie with fier, and all that was therin. Only the siluer and the golde, the vessels of brasse and yron, they put vnto the treasure of the house of the Lord


text:
And Iosua saued Rahab the harlott, & her fathers housholde, and all that she had, & she dwelt in Israel, euen vnto this daye because she hidd the messengers, which Iosua sent to spye out Iericho.


text:
And Iosua sware at that tyme, sayinge: cursed be the man before the Lorde, that riseth vp, & bildeth this citie Iericho: he shall laye the foundacion in his eldest sonne, and in his youngest sonne shal he sett vp the gates of it.


text:
But yet the children of Israel trespased in the excommunicate thynges: And Acan the sonne of Carmy, the sonne of Zabdi, the sonne of Zareh of the tribe of Iuda, toke of the excommunicat thinges. And the wrath of the Lorde waxed whote agaynst the children of Israel.


text:
And Iosua sent men from Iericho to Hai, which is besyde Bethauen, on the east syde of Bethel, & spake vnto them, sayinge: gett you vp, & vewe the countrey. And the men went vp, & spyed out Hai.


text:
And retourned to Iosua, and sayde vnto him, lett not all the people go vp, but let as it were a two or thre thousande men goo vp, and smyte Hai and make not all the people to laboure thether, for they are but fewe.


text:
And so there went vp thether of the people, aboute a thre thousande men, & they fledd before the men of Hai.


text:
And the men of Hai smote of them vpon a thyrtye and sixe men: for they chased them from before the gate euen vnto Sebarim, & smote them in the goyng doune. Wherfore the hertes of the people for feare melted awaye like water.


text:
And Iosua rent his clothes, and fell to the erth vpon his face before the arcke of the Lorde vntill the euen tyde, he and the elders of Israel, & put erth vpon their heddes.


text:
And Iosua sayde Alas, O Lorde God, wherfore hast thou brought thys people ouer Iordan, to diliuer vs into the hande of the Amorites, and to destroie vs: wold to God we had bene content, & dwelt on the other syde Iordan.


text:
Surely the Cananites, and all the enhabiters of the lande shall heare of it, & shall conspire agaynst vs, & destroye the name of vs out of the worlde. And what wilt thou do vnto thy myghtie name?


text:
Israel hath synned, & they haue transgressed myne appointement, which I commaunded them: for they haue taken of the excommunicate thinges, and haue stolen, and dissembled, & put them vnto their awne stuffe


text:
And therfore is it that the children of Israel cannot stande before their ennemyes, but shall turne their backes before their ennemyes because they be excommunicate. Nether will I be wt you any moare, excepte ye rote out the excommunicate from amonge you.


text:
Up therfore, & sanctifie the people, and saye: sanctifie youre selues against to morowe: for so sayd the Lord God of Israel There is a damned thinge amonge you (O Israel) & therfore ye cannot stande against youre ennemyes, vntill ye haue put the damned thinge from amonge you.


text:
Tomorowe morning therfore ye shall be brought according to youre tribes. And the tribe which the Lord taketh, shal come according to the kynreds therof. And the kynred which the Lord shall finde gyltie, shall come by housholders And the housholde which the Lord shall finde fautye, shall come man by man.


text:
And he that is founde in the excommunicacion, shalbe burnt with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the couenaunt of the Lord and wrought folye in Israell.


text:
And so Iosua rose vp erly in the morning and brought Israell by their tribes: and the tribe of Iuda was caught.


text:
And he brought the kynredes of Iuda, and toke the kynred of the Zarehites. And he brought the kynred of the Zarehites, man, by man, & Zabdi was caught.


text:
And he brought his housholde man by man, and Acan the sonne of Carmy, the sonne of Zabdi, the sonne of Zareth in the tribe of Iuda was caught.


text:
And Iosua sayde vnto Acan: my sonne, I beseche the, geue glorie to the Lord God of Israell, & geue him praise, & shewe me what thou hast done, hyde it not from me.


text:
And Acan answered Iosua, & sayde: of a truthe I haue synned agaynst the Lorde God of Israell, & thus & thus haue I done.


text:
I sawe among the spoyle a goodlye Babylonishe garment, & two hundred sicles of siluer, & a tonge of golde of fyftie sicles weyghte, and I coueted them, & toke them. And beholde, they lye hydde in the erthe in my tente and the siluer is ther vnder.


text:
And so Iosua sent messengers: which whan they ranne vnto his tent, beholde, they were hid in his tent, and the syluer there vnder.


text:
Therfore they toke them out of the myddest of his tent, and brought them vnto Iosua, and vnto all the children of Israell, & layed them out before the Lorde.


text:
And Iosua toke Acan the sonne of Zareh, and the siluer, & the garment, and the tonge of golde, and his sonnes & his daughters, his oxen, & his asses, his shepe, & his tent, & all that he had: and all Israell wyth hym brought them vnto the valeye of Acor.


text:
And Iosua sayde: In as moche as thou haste troubled vs, the Lord shall trouble the this daye. And all Israell stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire,


text:
and ouerwhelmed them with stones. And they cast vpon him a great heape of stones vnto this daye. And so the Lorde turned from the wrathe of his indignacion. And the name of the place is called the valeye of Acor vnto this daye.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Iosua: feare not, nether be thou faynt harted. Take all the men of warre wyth the and vp, and gett the to Hai, Beholde, I haue geuen into thy hande, the kyng of Hai, and his people, hys cytie and hys lande.


text:
And thou shalt do to Hai & her kyng, as thou dydest vnto Iericho and her kyng, Neuerthelesse the spoyle and catell therof, shall ye take vnto youre selues: And laye a watch vnto the towne, on the backsyde therof.


text:
And so Iosua arose, and all the men of warre, to go vp agaynst Hai. And Iosua chose oute thyrtie thousande stronge men of warre, & sent them a waye by nyght.


text:
And he commaunded them, sayinge: beholde, ye shall lye awayte vnto the towne on the backesyde therof. Go not very farre from the cytie, but be all readye.


text:
And I and all the people that are with me, will approche vnto the cytie. And when they come out agaynst vs, as they did at the first tyme then will we flee before them.


text:
For they will come oute after vs & we will bring them out of the cytie. For they will saye: they flee before vs, as at the first tyme:


text:
& we will flee before them. In the meane tyme shall ye ryse vp from lying awayte, & destroye the cytie: For the Lorde youre God will deliuer it into youre hande.


text:
And whan ye haue taken the cytie, ye shall set it on fire. Accordinge to the commaundement of the Lord shal ye do: beholde, I haue charged you.


text:
Iosua therfore sent them forth, & they went to lye awayte, & abode betwene Bethel and Hai, on the west syde of the cite of Hai. But Iosua lodged that nyght amonge the people.


text:
And Iosua rose vp erlye in the mornynge, and nombred the people, & went vp, he & the elders of Israel before the people agaynst Hai.


text:
And all the men of warre that were with him, went vp and drue nye, and came agaynst the cytie, and pitched on the north syde of Hai, & there was a valeye betwene them and Hai.


text:
And he toke vpon a fyue thousande men, and put them to lye awayte, betwene Bethel & Hai, on the westsyde of the cytie.


text:
And they put the people (euen all the hoste that were on the northsyde) agaynst the cytie, and the lyers awayte on the west. And Iosua walked the same nyght in the myddes of the valeye.


text:
And it fortuned, that when the kyng of Hai sawe it they hasted and rose vp earlye, and the men of the cytie went oute agaynst Israell to battell, he & all his people, at a tyme apoynted, euen before the playne, and wist not that there were lyers awayte on the backsyde of the cytie.


text:
And Iosua & all Israel fayned them selues to be put to the worsse before them, & fled towarde the wildernesse.


text:
And all the people of the towne were called together, to folowe after them. And they folowed after Iosua & were drawen a waye from the cytie:


text:
And there was not a man left in Hai & in Bethel, that went not out after Israell. And they left the cytie open, & folowed after Israell.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Iosua: stretch out the spere that is in thine hand, towarde Hai, for I will geue it into thy hand. And Iosua stretched out the spere that he had in his hande, towarde the citie.


text:
And the lyers awayte rose quicklye oute of their place, & ranne assone as Iosua had stretched oute his hande, and they entred into the citie and toke it, & hasted, & sett the cite on fire.


text:
And when the men of Hai loked backe after them, they sawe the smoke of the citie assende vp to heauen. And they had no leysure to flee ether thys waye or that, & the people that fledd to the wyldernesse, turned backe agayne vpon the folowers.


text:
And when Iosua & all Israel sawe that the lyers awayte had taken the citie, & that the smoke of it ascended, they turned agayne and layed on the men of Hai.


text:
And the other yssued oute of the citie agaynst them. And so were they in the middes of Israel: for these were on the one syde of them, & the reste on the other syde. And they layed vpon them, so that they lett none of them skape, nor remayne.


text:
And when Israell had made an ende of slaying all the enhabiters of Hai in the felde of the wyldernesse, where they chased them, & when they were all fallen on the edge of the swerde, vntyll they were wasted, all the Israelites returned vnto Hai, & smote it in the edge of the swerde,


text:
For Iosua plucked not hys hand backe agayne, which he stretched oute vpon the spere, vntyll he had vtterlye destroyed all the enhabitatoures of Hai.


text:
Only the catell and the spoyle of the citie, Israel toke vnto them selues, according vnto the worde of the Lorde, which he commaunded Iosua.


text:
And the kyng of Hai he hanged on tree, vntyll euen. And assone as the sonne was downe, Iosua commaunded that they shulde take the carkas doune of the tree, and caste it at the entering of the gate of the citie, and laye theron a great heape of stones, that remayneth vnto this daye.


text:
as Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde commaunded the children of Israell, and as it is written in the boke of the lawe of Moses: an altare of whole stones, ouer which noman hath lyft any tole of yron. And they sacrifyced theron burnt sacrifyces vnto the Lorde, and offered peace offrynges.


text:
And he wrote there vpon the stones, a rehearsall of the lawe of Moses, and wrote it in the presence of the chyldren of Israell.


text:
And all Israell and the elders therof, and their officiers & Iudges stode, parte on this syde the arcke, & parte on that syde, before the Preastes, that were Leuites, which bare the arcke of the apoyntement of the Lorde: as well the straunger, as they that were borne amonge them: halfe on them on the forefronte of the mounte Garizim, and halfe of them on the forefronte of mount Eball: as Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde had commaunded before, that they shulde blesse the people Israell.


text:
Afterward he red all the wordes of the lawe, the blessinges and cursynges, according to all that is wrytten in the boke of the lawe:


text:
And there was not one worde of all that Moses commaunded, which Iosua read not before all the congregacyon of Israell: The wemen and chyldren, (and the straungers that were come) stondyng amonge them.


text:
And it fortuned that when all the kynges that dwell on thys syde Iordan in the hilles and valeys, and alonge by all the coastes of the great see, ouer agaynst Libanon (Namely the Hethites, the Amorites, the Cananites, the Pheresites, the Heuites, and the Iebusytes) herd therof,


text:
And they did worke wylylye, & went, and made them selues ambasadoures, and toke olde sackes vpon their Asses, and wyne bottelles olde, and rent and worne,


text:
and olde clouted shoes vpon their fete, and their rayment was olde, and all their prouysion of bread was dyred vp, and hored,


text:
And they came vnto Iosua into the hoste, to Gilgall, and sayde vnto him and vnto all the men of Israell: we be come from a farre contreye, and now make ye agrement with vs.


text:
And the men of Israell sayde vnto the Heuite: paraduenture thou dwellest amonge vs, and then howe can I make peace wyth the?


text:
And they sayde vnto Iosua: we are thy seruauntes. And Iosua sayde vnto them agayne: what are ye? and whence come ye?


text:
They answered him: From a verye farre contrye thy seruauntes are come, for the name of the Lorde thy God: for we haue heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypte,


text:
and all that he dyd to the two kynges of the Amorites that were beyonde Iordan, Sehon kynge of Hesbon, and Og kyng of Basan, which was at Astharoth.


text:
Wherfore oure elders and all the enhabytoures of oure contrey spake to vs, sayinge: take vitayles wt you to serue by the waye, & go mete them, and saye vnto them: we are youre seruauntes. And now make ye a couenant of peace with vs.


text:
Thys oure foode of bread, we toke with vs oute of oure houses whotte, the daye we departed to come vnto you. And now behold, it is dyred vp, and hored.


text:
And these bottelles of wyne which we filled, were newe: and se, they be rent. And these oure garmentes and shoes are worne for oldnesse, by the reason of the exceadyng long Iourneye.


text:
And Iosua made peace wyth them, and made a couenaunt with them, that they shulde be suffred to lyue: & the Lordes of the congregacyon sware vnto them.


text:
And it fortuned, that thre dayes after they had made peace wyth them, they hearde that they were their neyboures, & that they dwelte amonge them.


text:
And the chyldren of Israel toke their Iourney, and came vnto their cyties the thyrde daye: and their cyties were Gibeon, & Caphira, Beeroth and kariat Iarim.


text:
And the children of Israell slewe them not, because the Lordes of the congregacyon had sworne vnto them by the Lorde God of Israell. And all the multitude murmured against the Lordes.


text:
But all the Lordes sayde vnto all the congregacyon: we haue sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel, & therfore we maye not hurte them.


text:
But this we wyll do to them: We will lett them lyue, lest wrath be vpon vs, because of the othe which we sware vnto them.


text:
And the Lordes sayd vnto them agayne: Let them lyue, and hewe wodd, and drawe water vnto all the congregacion, and they did as the Lordes sayde vnto them.


text:
And Iosua sent for them, & talked wyth them, and sayde: wherfore haue ye begyled vs, sayeng: We dwell farre from you, whan ye dwell amonge vs?


text:
and now are you curssed, & there shall not cease to be of you, bond men and hewers of wodd & drawers of water for the house of my God.


text:
And they aunswered Iosua and sayde: it was tolde thy seruauntes, how that the Lord thy God had commaunded his seruaunt Moses to geue you all the lande, and to destroye all the enhabytoures therof oute of youre syght, & therfore we were exceadyng sore afrayed for oure lyues at the presence of you, & haue done this thinge,


text:
And euen so dyd he vnto them, and ridde them oute of the hande of the children of Israel, and they slewe them not.


text:
And Iosua made them that same daye hewers of wodd, & drawers of water for the congregacyon and for the aulter of God vnto thys daye, in the place which God shulde chose.


text:
And it fortuned, that when Adonizedec kyng of Ierusalem had heard how Iosua had taken Hai, & had destroyed it, and how that as he had done to Iericho and her kyng, euen so he had done to Hai and her kyng, and how the Inhabitoures of Gibeon had made peace wyth Israell, and were amonge them, they feared excedinglye,


text:
for Gibeon was a great cytie, as any cytie of the kyngdome, & was greater then Hai, and all the men therof were very myghtye.


text:
Wherfore Adonizedec kyng of Ierusalem sent vnto Hoham kyng of Hebron, and vnto Pirea kyng of Iarmuth, & vnto Iaphia kyng of Lachis, and vnto Debir kyng of Eglon, saying:


text:
Come vp vnto me, & healpe me, that we may smyte Gibeon: for they haue made peace with Iosua and wyth the children of Israell.


text:
Therfore the .v. kynges of the Amorites, the kyng of Ierusalem, the kyng of Hebron, the kyng of Iarmuth, the kyng of Lachis, the kyng of Eglon geathered them selues to geather, they withall their hostes, & beseged Gibeon, and made warre agaynst it.


text:
And the men of Gibeon sent vnto Iosua & to the hoste to Gilgal, sayinge: withdrawe not thy hande from thy seruauntes, come vp to vs, to saue vs, & to helpe vs: For al the kinges of the Amorites which dwell in the mountaynes are geathered togeather against vs.


text:
And so Iosua ascended from Gilgall, he and all the people of warre with him, & all the men of myghte,


text:
and the Lord sayde vnto Iosua, feare them not, for I haue delyuered them into thyne hande. Nether shal any of them stande agaynst the.


text:
And the Lord troubled them before Israell, and slewe them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them a longe the waye that gothe vp to Bethoron, and smote them to Esaka & Makeda.


text:
And it fortuned, that as they fled from Israell, & were in the goyng doune to Bethoron, the Lorde cast downe great stones from heauen vpon them, vntyll Esaka. And there were mo deed with hayle stones, then they were, whom the chyldren of Israell slewe wyth the swerde.


text:
Then spake Iosua before the Lorde, in the daye when the Lorde delyuered the Amorites before the chyldren of Israell, and he sayde in the syght of Israell. Sonne stande thou still vpon Gibeon, and thou Mone, in Aialon.


text:
And the sonne abode, and the mone stode styll, vntyll the people aduenged them selues vpon their enemyes. Is not this written in the boke of the ryghtwes? The sonne (I saye) abode in the myddes of heauen and hasted not to goo doune by that space of a whole daye.


text:
And there was no daye lyke that, before it, or after it, that the Lorde heard the voyce of a man. For the Lorde fought for Israell.


text:
And stande ye not stylle, but folowe after youre enemyes, and smyte all the hindmost, And soffre them not to entre into theyr cyties, for the Lorde youre God hath delyuered them into youre hande.


text:
And it fortuned, when Iosua and the chyldren of Israell had made an ende of slaying them wyth an excedinge great slaughter tyll they were wasted, the rest that remayned of them, entred into walled cyties.


text:
And all the people returned to the hoste, to Iosua at Makeda in peace, neither dyd any man moue hys tong agaynst the chyldren of Israel.


text:
Then sayde Iosua: open the mouth of the caue, and bryng oute these .v. kynges vnto me oute of the caue.


text:
And they dyd so, and brought those fyue kynges vnto hym, oute of the caue, euen the kynge of Ierusalem, the kyng of Hebron, the kyng of Iarmuth, the kyng of Lachis, and the kynge of Eglon.


text:
And it fortuned, that when they brought oute those kynges vnto Iosua: Iosua called for all the men of Israell, and sayde vnto the chefe of the men of warre, which wente with hym: come nere, & put youre fete vpon the neckes of these kynges. And they cam neare: and put their fete vpon the neckes of them.


text:
And Iosua sayde vnto them: Ye shall not feare, ner be faynt harted. But be strong and plucke vp youre hertes, for thus shall the Lorde do to all youre enemyes agaynst whom ye fyght.


text:
And then Iosua smote them, and slewe them, & hanged them on fyue trees. And they hanged still vpon the trees vntill the euening.


text:
And at the going doune of the sonne it fortuned that Iosua gaue commaundement, and they toke them doune of the trees, and cast them into the caue, (where in they had bene hyd), & layed great stones on the caues mouthe, which remayne vnto this daye.


text:
And that same daye Iosua toke Makeda, and smote it wyth the edge of the swerde, and the kynge therof also destroyed he vtterly, wyth all the soules that were therin, and let nought remayne. And he dyd to the kynge of Makeda as he dyd to the kynge of Iericho.


text:
And the Lorde delyuered it and the kynge therof into the hand of Israell, and he smote it wyth the edge of the swerde, and all the soules that were therin. He let nought remayne in it, but dyd vnto the kyng therof as he dyd vnto the kynge of Iericho.


text:
And Iosua departed from Libna, and all Israell wyth hym, vnto Lachis, and beseged it, and assaulted it.


text:
And the Lord delyuered Lachis into the hande of Israell which toke it the seconde daye, and smote it with the edge of the swerde, & all the soules that were therin, doing accordyng to all, as he had done to the cite of Libna.


text:
Then Horam kynge of Geser came vp to helpe Lachis: And Iosua smote hym & his people, vntill naught remayned of hym.


text:
And from Lachis Iosua departed, vnto Eglon, and all Israell with hym, and they beseged it, and assaulted it,


text:
and toke it the same daye, and smote it with the edge of the swerde, and all the soules that were therin he vtterlye destroyed the same daye, according to all that he had done to Lachis.


text:
and whan they had taken it, they smote it with the edge of the swerde, and the kyng therof, and all the townes that pertayned to it, and all the soules that were therin, and he lefte nought remayning: but did according to all, as he had done to Eglon, and destroyed it vtterlye, and all the soules that were therin.


text:
And whan he had taken it, and the kyng therof, and all the townes that pertayned therto. they smote them with the edge of the swerde, and vtterlye destroyed all the soules that were therin, nether let he ought remayne. Euen as he dyd to Hebron, so he dyd to Dabir and the kyng therof, as he had done also to Libna and her kynge.


text:
Iosua therfore smote all the hill contreys, and the southe contreys, and the valeyes, and the hill sydes, & all their kynges, & lett nought remayne of them, but vtterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lorde God of Israell commaunded.


text:
All those kynges and their lande dyd Iosua take at one tyme: because the Lorde God of Israell fought for Israell.


text:
And it fortuned, that when Iabin kyng of Hazor had hearde those thinges: he sent to Iobab kynge of Madon, & to the kyng of Simron, and to the kynge of Achsaph,


text:
and vnto the kynges that are by northe in the mountaynes, & playnes toward the southesyde of Ceneroth, and in the lowe countreys, & in the borders of Dor westward


text:
and vnto the Cananytes bothe by Easte & weste, & vnto the Amorites, Hethites, Pheresites, and Iebusites in the mountaynes: & vnto the Heuites that were vnder Hermon in the lande of Mizpa:


text:
And they came out and all their hostes with them, a multytude of folke, euen as the sande that is on the see shore in a greate nombre with horsses & charettes exceding manye.


text:
And all these kynges mett together, and came, and pytched together at the waters of Merom, for to fight agaynst Israell.


text:
And the Lorde sayde vnto Iosua: be not afrayde at the presence of them: for tomorowe aboute this tyme will I delyuer then all slayne before Israell: thou shalt hough their horsses, & burne their charettes with fire.


text:
And so Iosua came and all the men of warre with hym agaynst them by the waters of Merom, & sodenlye fell vpon them.


text:
And the Lorde delyuered them into the hande of Israell: and they smote them, and chased them vnto great Sidon, & vnto the whott waters, and vnto the valeye of Mizpa which is Eastwarde: and smote them vntyll they had none remaynyng of them.


text:
And Iosua dyd vnto them, as the Lorde bad hym: he houghed their horsses, and burnt their charettes with fyer.


text:
And Iosua at that tyme turned backe, & toke Hazor, & smote the kyng therof with the swerde. And Hazor before tyme was the head of all those kingdomes.


text:
And they smote all the soules that were therin with the edge of the swerde, vtterlye destroying all: & nothing that breathed, was let remayne. And he burnt Hazor wt fyer.


text:
And all the cyties of those kynges, and all the kynges of them, dyd Iosua take, and smote them wyth the edge of the swerde, and vtterlye destroyed them as Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde commaunded.


text:
But Israell burnt none of the cyties that stode styll in their strength, saue Hazor onlye that Iosua burnt,


text:
And all the spoyle of the sayde cyties and the catell, the children of Israel caught vnto them selues. But the men onlye they smote with the edge of the swerde vntill they had destroyed them nether left they ought that had breath.


text:
As the Lorde commaunded Moses hys seruaunt, so dyd Moses commaunde Iosua, and euen so dyd Iosua so that he mynysshed no worde, of all that the Lorde commaunded Moses.


text:
And so Iosua toke all the lande, the hylles and all the southe contreye, and all the lande of Gosan, and the lowe contrey, and the playne, and the mountayne of Israell, & the lowe countrey of the same,


text:
euen from the mounte of partyng, that gothe vp to Seir vnto the playne of Gad in the valeye of Libanon, vnder mounte Hermon. And all the kynges of the same he toke, & smote them, and slewe them.


text:
nether was there anye citie that made peace with the children of Israell, saue those Hethites that enhabited Gibeon, and therfore all other they toke wyth battell,


text:
for it came of the Lorde, wich dyd harden theyr hartes, that they shulde come agaynst Israell in battell: & that they shulde destroye them vtterlye, and shewe them no mercy, but to bryng them to naught, As the Lord commaunded Moses.


text:
And that same ceason came Iosua, and destroyed the Enakites out of the mountaynes: Namely, out of Hebron, Dabir, Anab, and out of all the mountaynes of Iuda, and out of all the mountaynes of Israell. And Iosua destroyed them vtterlye with their cities.


text:
There was not one Enakite leafte in the lande of the chyldren of Israell, only in Asah Geth, and Asdod, there remayned of them.


text:
And Iosua toke the whole lande, according to all that the Lord sayd vnto Moses, and Iosua gaue it for a possessyon vnto Israel according to their partes and trybes: & the lande rested from warre.


text:
These are the kynges of the lande whych the chyldren of Israell smote, and possessed theyr land on the other syde Iordan eastwarde, from the ryuer Arnon, vnto mounte Hermon, and all the playne estwarde:

text:
Iosua was olde, and strycken in yeares, and the Lorde sayde vnto hym: thou art olde and strycken in yeres,


text:
and there remayneth yet excedynge moche lande to be possessed: This is the lande that yet remayneth: all the regyons of the Philistines: & all Gesuri:

euen all the kyngdom of Og in Basan, whyche raygned in Astharoth and Edrai, which same remayned yett of the rest of the Giauntes. These dyd Moses smyte, & cast them out


text:
Neuerthelesse the chyldren of Israel expelled not the Gesurites & the Machathites: But the Gesurites and the Machathites dwell amonge the Israelites euen vnto this daye,

Only vnto the trybe of Leui, he gaue none enheritaunce: But the offrynge of the Lorde God of Israel is theyr enheritaunce, as he sayde vnto them.

But vnto the trybe of Leui, Moses gaue none enheritaunce, for the Lorde God of Israell is their enheritaunce, as he sayd vnto them.

And these are the contreyes which the chyldren of Israell enhereted in the lande of Canaan, which Eleazer the preaste, and Iosua the sonne of Nun and the auncient heades of the trybes of the chyldren of Israell, distributed to them.


text:
By lotte they receaued their possessions as the Lorde commaunded by the hande of Moses, to geue vnto the nyne trybes, & vnto the halfe trybe.


text:
For Moses had geuen enheritaunce vnto two trybes and an halfe on the other syde Iordan. But vnto the Leuites he gaue none enheritaunce amonge them.

For the children of Ioseph were two tribes, Manasses & Ephraim. And therfore they gaue no parte vnto the Leuites in the land, saue cyties to dwell in with the suburbes of the same, for their beastes and cattell.

And the children of Iuda came vnto Iosua in Gilgall. And Caleb the sonne of Iephune the kenesyte sayde vnto hym: thou wottest what the Lorde sayd vnto Moses the man of God, about my matter and thyne in Cades Barne.

And beholde, the Lorde hath kept me alyue (as he sayde) this fourtye and fyue yeares, euen sence the Lord spake this word vnto Moses, whyle the chyldren of Israell wanderyd in the wyldernesse. And now lo, I am this daye foure skore & fyue yere old:


text:
& yet am as stronge at this tyme, as I was when Moses sent me: looke how stronge I was then, so strong am I now whether I go to warre, or come agayne.


text:
Now therfore geue me thys mountayne wherof the Lorde spake in that daye, for thou herdest in that daye, how the Enakins are there, and the cities great & walled. Peraduenture the Lorde wilbe with me, & I shall he able to dryue them out, as the Lorde sayd.

And Hebron therfore became the enheritaunce of Caleb the sonne of Iephune the kenesite, vnto thys daye: because he folowed the Lord God of Israell.

And their border in the north quarter was from the rocke of the see and from the edge of Iordan. And the same border went vp to Bethhagla, and went a long by the northsyde of Betharabah, and vp from thence to the stone of Bohen the sonne of Ruben.


text:
And agayne, thesame border went vp to Dabir from the valeye of Acor, and so northwarde, turnyng towarde Gilgall, that lieth before the goyng vp to Adonim, whych is of the southe syde of the ryuer. And the same border went vp to the waters of the fountayne of the Sonne, and ended at the well of Rogell.

And then went vp to the valeye of the sonne of Hennom, euen vnto the southe syde of Iebusi: the same is Ierusalem. And then went vp to the toppe of the hille that lyeth before the valeye of Hennon, westwarde, and by the edge of the valeye of the Giauntes northwarde:

And then it compaseth from the toppe of the hill vnto the fountayne of the water of Nephthoah, and gothe out at the cities of mount Ephron: and draweth to Baala, whiche is kiriathiarim,

and then it compaseth from Balah westwarde vnto mount Seir, & then goeth a longe vnto the syde of mount Iarim, (which is Chesalon) on the north syde. And cometh downe to Bethsames, and gothe to Thamnah,

And the west border was the gaeat see, and the same coaste was the coast of the chyldren of Iuda rounde about in theyr kynredes.


text:
And vnto Caleb the sonne of Iephune dyd Iosua geue a parte among the children of Iuda, accordynge to the mouthe of the Lorde, euen kiriatharbe of the father of Enock, whiche cytye is Hebron.


text:
And Caleb droue thence the thre sonnes of Enack, Sesai, and Ahman, and Thalmai, which were, the sonnes of Enack.


text:
And he went vp thence, to the enhabitoures of Dabir. And the name of Dabir in the olde tyme was kariath sephar.


text:
And Caleb sayde: he that smyteth kariath sepher, & taketh it: to hym wyll I geue Acsah my daughter to wyfe.


text:
And Othniel, the sonne of kenes, the brother of Caleb toke it. And he gaue hym Acsah hys daughter to wyfe.


text:
And as she went in vnto hym, she moued hym, to aske of her father a felde. And she alyghted of her asse. And Caleb sayde vnto her, what ayleth the?


text:
Who answered: gyue me a blessyng: for thou hast geuen me a south lande: geue me also springes of water. And he gaue her sprynges of water, bothe aboue and benethe.

And the vttmost cyties of the tribe of the children of Iuda, towarde the coastes of Edom southwarde, were: Kabzel, Eder & Iagur:

Asdod with hertownes & villages. Azah with her townes & villages, euen vnto the ryuer of Egypte and the great see was their coaste.


text:
Neuertheles, the Iebusites that were the enhabiters of Ierusalem, coulde not the children of Iuda cast out. But the Iebusites dwell with the children of Iuda vnto this daye.

And the lotte of the children of Ioseph felle from Iordan by Iericho, vnto the water of Iericho Estward, and to the wildernesse that goeth vp from Iericho thorow out mount Bethel:

& goeth downe agayne westard euen to the coaste of Iaphlethi, and vnto the coaste of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gasor, and the endes of their coostes leaue at the west see.


text:
And the border of the children of Ephraim was by their kinreds. Their border on the east syde, was: Ataroth, Ador, euen vnto Bethhoron the vpper,


text:
& went out westward to Machmathah on the Northside, and returneth Estward vnto Thaanath Silo, and past it on the Estside vnto Ianoah,


text:
And their border went from Thaphuah westwarde vnto the ryuer kanah, and the endes were the west see. This is the enheritaunce of the trybe of the children of Ephraim by their kynredes.


text:
And the separate cyties for the children of Ephraim, were amonge the enheritaunce of the children of Manasses: euen the cyties with their villages.


text:
And they draue not out the Cananites y dwelte in Gasor: but the Cananites dwell amonge the Ephraites vnto this daye, and serue vnder tribute.


text:
This was the lotte of the tribe of Manasses, which was the Eldest sonne of Ioseph. And Machir the Eldest sonne of Manasses which was the father of Gilead (and a man of warre) had Gilead and Basan,


text:
This was the possession of the rest of the children of Manasses by their kinredes: Namely, of the children of Abiezer: the children of Helek: the children of Ariel: the children of Sichem, the children of Hepher: the children of Semida: for these were the male children of Manasses the sonne of Ioseph by their kinredes.


text:
But Zelaphead the sonne of Hepher, the sonne of Gilead, the sonne of Machir, the sonne of Manasses, had no sonnes but daughters whose names are these: Mahela, Noa, Hagla, Melcha & Thirza:


text:
which came before Eleazar the preaste, & before Iosua the sonne of Nun, & before the Lordes saying: the Lorde commaunded Moses to geue vs an enheritaunce amonge oure brethren. And therfore according to the commaundement of the Lord, he gaue them an enherytaunce amonge the brethren of their father.


text:
And there felle ten porcyons to Manasses, besyde the lande of Gilead & Basan, which is on the other syde Iordan:


text:
because the daughters of Manasses dyd enherett amonge hys sonnes. And Manasses other sonnes, had the lande of Gilead.


text:
And the cooste of Manasses was from Aser to Machmathah that lieth before Sichem and went a longe on the ryght hande, euen vnto the enhabiters of Entaphuah,


text:
& the land of Thaphuah belonged to Manasses, whych Thaphuah is besyde the border of Manasses, and besyde the border of the children of Ephraim.

And the cooste descended vnto the ryuer Canah southwarde, euen to the ryuer of the cyties of Ephraim, and betwene the cyties of Manasses. The cooste of Manasses wente also on the northsyde to the ryuer, & the endes of it go out at the see:

so that the south pertayned to Ephraim, & the northe to Manasses, and the see is hys border. And they mette togeather in Aser northwarde, and in Isacar eastwarde.

And Manasses had in Isacar & in Aser, Bethsean, & her townes: Iiblean, and hir townes: & the enhabitoures of Dor, wyth the townes: pertaynyng to the same: & the enhabitoures of Endor with the townes of the same: and the enhabitoures of Thaanath with her townes: and the enhabitoures of Magedo with the townes of the same, euen thre contreys.


text:
Yet the children of Manasses coulde not ouercome those cyties. But the Cananites presumed to dwell in the same land,


text:
Neuerthelesse, assone as the children of Israel were waxed strong, they put the Cananites vnder tribute, but expelled them not.


text:
And the chyldren of Ioseph spake vnto Iosua saying: why hast thou geuen me but one lotte and one porcyon to enheret, seing I am a great people, & for as moche as the Lorde hath blessed me hitherto?


text:
and Iosua answered them: yf thou be moche people, then gett the vp to the wodde contreye, and prepare for thy selffe there in the lande of the Pheresites & of the Giauntes, yf mounte Ephraim be to narowe for the.


text:
And the children of Ioseph sayd: The hill is not ynough for vs: & all the Cananites that dwel in the lowe contreye haue charettes of yron, & so haue they that enhabite Bethsean, and the townes of the same, & they also dwel in the valeye of Iezreel.
