12 Thou shalt not vncouer the secrettes off thy fathers syster, for she is thy fathers nexte kyn. 13 Thou shalt not dyscouer the secrettes off thy mothers syster, for she is thy mothers nexte kyn. 14 Thou shalt not open the secrettes of thy fathers brother: that is thou shalt not goo in to his wife, for she is thyne awnte. 15 Thou shalt not discouer the secrettes of thy doughter in lawe she is thy sonnes wyfe: therfore vncouer not hir secrettes. 16 Thou shalt not vnheale the secrettes of thy brothers wife, for that is thy brothers preuyte. 17 Thou shalt not discouer the preuytes of the wife ad hir doughter also, nether shalt thou take hir sonnes doughter or hir doughters doughter to vncouer their secrettes: they are hir nexte kyn, it were therfore wikydnesse. 18 Thou shalt not take a wife and hir sister thereto, to vexe hir that thou woldest open hir secrettes as longe as she lyueth. 19 Thou shalt not goo vnto a woman to open hir secrettes, as longe as she is put aparte for hir vnclennesse. 20 Thou shalt not lye with thy neghbours wife, to defyle thi selfe with her. 21 Thou shalt not geue of thi seed to offer it vnto Moloch, that thou defile not the name of thi God, for I am the Lorde. 22 Thou shalt not lye with mankynde as with womankynde, for that is abominacion. 23 Thou shalt lye with no maner of beeste to defile thy selfe therewith, nether shall any woman stonde before a beest to lye doune thereto, for that is abhominacion. 24 Defile not youre selues in any of these thinges, for with all these thinges are these nacions defiled whiche I cast out before you: 25 and the lande is defiled, and I will visett the wykednesse thereof apon it. and the lande shal spewe out hir inhabiters. 26 Kepe ye therfore myne ordinaunces and iudgementes, and se that ye commytt none of these abominacions: nether any of you nor ony straunger that soiourneth amonge you 27 (for all these abhominacions haue the men of the lande done whiche were there before you, and the lande is defiled) 28 lest that the lande spewe you out when ye haue defiled it, as it spewed out the nacions that where there before you. 29 For whosoeuer shall comytt any of these abhominacions, the same soules that commytt them shall perish from amonge their people. 30 Therfore se that ye kepe myne ordinaunces, that ye commytt none of these abhominable customes which were commytted before you: that ye defile not youre selues therewith for I am the Lorde youre God. Chapter 19 1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayenge: 2 speake vnto all the multitude of the childern of Israel, and saye vnto them. Be holy for I the Lorde youre God am holye. 3 Se that ye feare: euery man his father and his mother, ad that ye kepe my Sabbathes, for I am the Lorde youre God. 4 Ye shall not turne vnto ydolls nor make you goddes of metall: I am the Lorde youre God. 5 When ye offre youre peaceofferynges vnto the Lorde, ye shall offer them that ye maye be accepted. 6 And it shalbe eaten the same daye ye offer it and on the morowe, but what soeuer is lefte on the thirde daye shalbe burnt in the fire.

7 Yf it be eaten the thirde daye, it shalbe vncleane ad not accepted. 8 And he that eateth it shall bere his synne: because he hath defiled the halowed thinges of the Lorde, ad that soule shall perish from amonge his people. 9 When ye repe doune the rype corne of youre lande, ye shal not repe doune the vtmost borders of youre feldes, nether shalt thou gather that which is left behynd in thy haruest. 10 Thou shalt not plucke in all thy vyneyarde clene, nether gather in the grapes that are ouerscaped. But thou shalt leaue them for the pore ad straunger. I am the Lord youre God. 11 Ye shall not steale nether lye, nether deale falsely one with another. 12 Ye shal not swere by my name falselye: that thou defilest not the name of thy God, I am the Lorde. 13 Thou shalt not begile thy neyghboure with cauellacios, nether robbe him violently, nether shall the workmans laboure abide with the vntyll the mornynge. 14 Thou shalt not curse the deaffe, nether put a stomblinge blocke before the blynd: but shalt feare thy God. I am the Lorde. 15 Ye shall doo no vnrightuousnes in iudgement. Thou shalt not fauoure the poore nor honoure the mightye, but shalt iudge thy neghboure rightuously. 16 Thou shalt not go vp ad doune a preuy accuser amoge thy people, nether shalt thou helpe to shed the bloude of thy neyghboure: I am the Lorde. 17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thyne hart but shalt in any wyse rebuke thy neghbour: that thou bere not synne for his sake. 18 Thou shalt not avenge thy selfe nor bere hate in thy mynde against the childern of thi people, but shalt loue thy neghboure eue as thy self I am the Lorde. 19 Kepe myne ordinaunces. Let none of thy catell gendre with a cotrary kynde, nether sowe thy felde with myngled seed, nether shalt thou put on ony garment of lynen and wollen 20 Yf a man haue to doo with a woman that is bonde and hath bene medled with al of another man which nether is boughte nor fredome geuen her, there shalbe a payne apon it: but they shall not dye, because she was not made fre. 21 And he shall brynge for his trespaceofferynge vnto the Lorde: euen vnto the dore off the tabernacle of witnesse, a ram for a trespaceoffrynge. 22 And the preast shall make an attonement for him with the ram of the trespaceofferynge before the Lord, for his synne which he hath done: and it shalbe forgeuen him, as concerninge the synne which he hath done. 23 And when ye come to the lande ad haue plated all maner of trees where of me eate, ye shal holde them vncircumcised as concerning their frute: eue thre yere shal they be vncircucysed vnto you ad shall not be eate of, 24 ad the fourth yere all the frute of the shalbe holy ad acceptable to the Lorde. 25 And the fifth yere maye ye eate of the frute of the, ad gather in the encrease of them: I am the Lorde youre God. 26 Ye shall eate nothinge with the bloude, ye shall vse no witchcrafte, nor obserue dismall dayes, 27 ye shall not rounde the lockes of youre heedes, nether shalt thou marre the tuftes of thy beerde. 28 Ye shall not rent youre flesh for any soules sake, nor printe any markes apon you: I am the Lorde. 29 Thou shalt not pollute thi doughter, that thou woldest maintene her to be an whoore: lest the lade fall to whoredome, ad waxe ful of wekednesse. 30 Se that ye kepe my Sabbathes and feare my sauctuary: I am the Lorde.

31 Turne not to the that worke with sprites, nether regarde the that obserue disemall dayes: that ye be not defiled by the, for I am the Lorde youre God. 32 Thou shalt ryse vp before the hoorehed, ad reuerence the face of the old ma ad dread thy god, for I am the Lorde. 33 Yf a straunger soioure by the in youre lande, se that ye vexe him not: 34 But let the straunger that dwelleth with you, be as one of youre selues, and loue him as thi selfe, for ye were straungers in the lande of Egipte. I am the Lorde youre God. 35 Ye shall do no vnrightuousnes in iudgemet nether in meteyerde, weyght or measure. 36 But ye shal haue true balaces, true weightes, A true Epha ad a true hin. I am the Lorde youre god which broughte you out of the land of Egipte, 37 that ye shulde obserue all myne ordinaunces and iudgementes and that ye shulde kepe them: I am the Lorde. Chapter 20 1 And the Lorde talked with Moses saynge: 2 tell the childern of Israel, whosoeuer he be of the childern of Israel or of the straungers that dwel in Israel, that geueth of his seed vnto Moloch he shall dye for it: the people off the lande shall stone hi with stones. 3 And I wil sett my face apon that felowe, and will destroye him from amonge his people: because he hath geuen of his seed vnto Moloch, for to defile my sanctuary and to polute myne holy name. 4 And though that the people of the lande hyde their eyes from that felowe, when he geueth of his seed vnto Moloch, so that they kyll him not: 5 yet I will put my face apon that man and apon his houssholde, and will destroy him and all that goo a whooringe with him and comytt hoordome with Moloch from amonge their people. 6 Yf any soule turne vnto them that worke with spirites or makers of dysemall dayes and goo a whoorynge after them, I wilt put my face apon that soule and will destroye him from amonge his people. 7 Sanctifie youre selues therfore and be holye, for I am the Lorde youre God. 8 And se that ye kepe myne ordinaunces and doo them. For I am the Lorde which sanctifie you. 9 Whosoeuer curseth his father or mother, shall dye for it, his bloude on his heed, because he hath cursed his father or mother. 10 He that breaketh wedlocke with another mans wife shall dye for it: because he hath broke wedlocke with his neghbours wife, and so shall she likewise. 11 Yf a man lye with his fathers wife ad vncouer his fathers secrettes, they shall both dye for it, their bloude be apon their heedes. 12 Yf a man lye with his doughter in lawe thei shall dye both of them: they haue wrought abhominacion, their bloud vpon their heedes. 13 Yf a man lye with the mankynde after the maner as with woma kynd, they haue both comitted an abhominacion and shall dye for it. Their bloude be apon their heed. 14 Yf a man take a wife ad hir mother thereto, it is wekednesse. Me shall burne with fire both him and them, that there be no wekednesse amonge you. 15 Yf a man lye with a beest he shall dye, and ye shall slee the beest. 16 Yf a woma go vnto a beest ad lye doune thereto: thou shalt kyll the woma ad the beest also they shal dye, ad their bloud be apo their hedes 17 Yf a ma take his syster his fathers doughter or his mothers doughter, ad se hir secrettes, and she se his secrettes also: it is a weked thinge. Therfore let them perish in

the syghte of their people, he hath sene his systers secretnesse, he shall therfore bere his synne. 18 Yf a man lye with a woman in tyme of hyr naturall disease and unheale hir secrettes and vncouer hir fountayne, ad she also open the fountayne of hir bloude, they shall both perishe from amonge their people. 19 Thou shalt not vncouer the secrettes of thy mothers syster nor of thy fathers systers, for he that doth so, vncouereth his nexte kyn: ad thei shall bere their mysdoynge. 20 Yf a ma lye with his vncles wife, he hath vncouered his vncles secrettes: they shall bere their synne, and shall dye childlesse. 21 Yf a ma take his brothers wife, it is an vnclene thinge, he hath vncouered his brothers secrettes, they shalbe childlesse therfore. 22 Se that ye kepe therfore all myne ordinaunces and all my iudgementes, and that ye doo them: that the londe whether I brynge you to dwell therein, spewe you not oute. 23 And se that ye walke not in the maners of the nacyons whiche I cast oute before you: For they commytted all these thinges, and I abhorred them. 24 But I haue sayde vnto you that ye shall enioye their londe, and that I will geue it vnto you to possesse it: eue a londe that floweth with milke and honye. I am the Lord youre God, whiche haue separated you from other nacions: 25 that ye shulde put difference betwene cleane beestes add vncleane, and betwene vncleane foules and them that are cleane. Make not youre soules therfore abhominable with beestes ad foules, and with all maner thinge that crepeth apon the grounde, which I haue separated vnto you to holde them vncleane. 26 Be holy vnto me, for I the Lorde am holy and haue seuered you from other nacyons: that ye shulde be myne. 27 Yf there be ma or woma that worketh with a sprite or a maker of dysemall dayes, thei shall dye for it. Me shall stone them with stones, ad their bloude shalbe apon them. Chapter 21 1 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: speake vnto the preastes the sonnes of Aaron and saye vnto them. A preast shall defile him selfe at the deth of none of his people, 2 but apon his kyn that is nye vnto him: as his mother, father, sonne, doughter and brother: 3 and on his syster as loge as she is a mayde ad dwelleth nye him and was neuer geuen to man: on her he maye defile him selfe. 4 But he shall not make him selfe vncleane vpon a ruelar of his people to polute him selfe with all. 5 They shall make the no baldnesse apon their heedes or shaue off the lockes of their beerdes, nor make any markes in their flesh. 6 Thei shalbe holy vnto their God, ad not polute the name of their god, for the sacrifices of the Lorde ad the bred of their God thei do offer: therfore they must be holy. 7 Thei shall take no wife that is an whoore, or poluted, or put fro hir husbonde: for a preast is holy vnto his God. 8 Sanctifie him therfore, for he offereth vp the bred of God: he shal therfore be holy vnto the, for I the Lorde whiche sanctifie you, am holy. 9 Yf a preastes doughter fall to playe the whore, she poluteth hir father: therfore she shall be burnt with fire. 10 He that is the hye preast among his brethern vppon whose heed the anoyntynge oyle was poured and whose hande was fylled to put on the vestimetes shall not vncouer his heed nor rent his clothes,

11 nether shall goo to any deed body nor make him selfe vncleane: no not on his father or mother 12 nether shall goo out of the sanctuarye, that he polute not the holy place of his God. for the croune of the anoyntynge oyle of God, is apon him. I am the Lorde. 13 He shall take a mayden vnto his wife: 14 but no wedowe nor deuorsed nor poluted whoore. But he shall take a mayden of his awne people to wife, 15 that he defyle not his seed apo his people. for I am the Lorde which sanctifye him. 16 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saynge 17 speake vnto Aaron and saye: No man of thi seed in their generacions that hath any deformyte apon him, shall prese for to offer the bred of his God. 18 ffor none that hath any blemysh shall come nere: whether he be blynde lame snot nosed or that hath any monstrous mebre, 19 or broken foted or broken handed 20 or croke backed, or perleyed, or gogeleyed, or maunge or skaulde or hath his stones broken. 21 No man that is deformed of the seed of Aaron the preast shall come nye to offer the sacrifyces of the Lorde. Yf he haue a deformyte he shall not prese to offer the bred of his God. 22 Notwithstondynge he shall eate of the bred of his God: euen as well of the most holy as of the holy: 23 but shall not goo in vnto the vayle nor come nye the alter, because he is deformed that he polute not my sanctuary for I am the Lorde that sanctifye them. 24 And Moses tolde it vnto Aaron and to his sonnes and vnto all the childern of Israel. Chapter 22 1 And the Lorde comened with Moses saynge: 2 byd Aaron and his sonnes that they absteyne from the halowed thynges of the childern of Israel which they haue halowed vnto me, that they polute not myne holy name: for I am the Lorde. 3 Saye vnto them: whosoeuer he be of all youre seed amonge youre generacion after you that goeth vnto the halowed thinges which the childern of Israel shall haue halowed vnto the Lorde his vnclennes shalbe apon him: and that soule shall perysh from out of my syghte. I am the Lorde. 4 None of the seed of Aaron that is a leper or that hath a runnynge sore shall eate of the halowed thinges vntill he be cleane. And whosoeuer twytcheth any vncleane soule or man whose seed runneth fro him by nyghte, 5 or whosoeuer twitcheth any worme that is vncleane to him or man that is vncleane to him what soeuer vnclennesse he hath: 6 the same soule that hath twyched any soch thynge shalbe vncleane vntill euen and shall not eate of the halowed thynges vntill he haue wasshed his flesh with water. 7 And than when the sonne is doune he shalbe cleane ad shall afterward eate of the halowed thynges: for they are his fode. 8 Off a beest that dyeth alone or is rent with wylde beastes he shall not eate to defyle him selfe therwith: I am the Lorde. 9 But let them kepe therfore myne ordynaunce lest they lade synne apo them and dye therein when they haue defyled them selues: for I am the Lorde which sanctifye them. 10 There shall no straunger eate of the halowed thinges nether a gest of the preastes or an hyred seruaunte.

11 But yf the preast bye any soule with money he maye eate of it and he also that is borne in his housse maye eate of his bred. 12 Yf the preastes doughter be maryed vnto a straunger she maye not eate of the halowed heueofferynges. 13 Notwithstondynge yf the preastes doughter be a wedowe or deuorsed and haueno childe but is returned vnto hir fathers housse agayne she shall eate of hir fathers bred as wel as she dyd in hyr youth. But thereshall no straunger eate there of. 14 Yf a man eate of the halowed thynges vnwyttingly he shall put the fyfte parte there vnto and make good vnto the preast the halowed thynge. 15 And let the preastes see that they defyle not the halowed thynges of the childern of Israel which they haue offered vnto the Lorde 16 lest they lade them selues with mysdoynge and trespace in eatynge their halowed thinges: for I am the Lorde which halowe them. 17 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saynge: 18 speake vnto Aaron and his sonnes and vnto all the childern of Israel and saye vnto them what soeuer he be of the housse of Israel or straunger in Israel that will offer his offerynge: what soeuer vowe or frewillofferynge it be which they will offer vnto the Lorde for a burntofferynge 19 to reconcyle them selues it must be a male without blemysh of the oxen shepe or gootes. 20 let them offer nothynge that is deformed for they shall gett no fauoure there with. 21 Yf a man will offer a peaseoffrynge vnto the Lorde and separate a vowe or a frewill offerynge of the oxen or the flocke it must be without deformyte that it maye be accepted. There maye be no blemysh therein: 22 whether it be blide, broke, wounded or haue a wen, or be maunge or scabbed. se that ye offre no soch vnto the Lorde, nor put an offerynge of any soch apon the alter vnto the Lorde. 23 An oxe or a shepe that hath any membre out of proporcion, mayst thou offer for a frewillofferynge: but in a vowe it shal not accepted. 24 Thou shalt not offer vnto the Lorde that which hath his stones broosed broke, plucked out or cutt awaye, nether shalt make any soch in youre lande, 25 nether of a straungers hande shall ye offer an offerynge to youre God of any soch. For they marre all in that they haue deformytes in them, and therfore can not be accepted for you. 26 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saynge: 27 when an oxe, a shepe or a goote is brought forth, it shalbe seue dayes vnder the damme. And from the .viij. daye forth, it shalbe accepted vnto a gifte in the sacrifice of the Lorde. 28 And whether it be oxe or shepe, ye shall not kyll it, and hir yonge: both in one daye. 29 When ye will offre a thankofferynge vnto the Lorde, ye shall so offre it that ye maye be accepted. 30 And the same daye it must be eate vp, so that ye leaue none of it vntill the morowe. For I am the Lorde, 31 kepe now my commaundementes and do them, for I am the Lorde. 32 And polute not my holy name, that I maye be halowed amonge the childern of Israel. For I am the Lorde which halowe you, 33 and broughte you out of the londe of Egipte, to be youre God: for I am the Lorde. Chapter 23 1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saynge:

2 speake vnto the childern of Israel, and saye vnto them. These are the feastes off the Lorde which ye shal call holy feastes. 3 Sixe dayes ye shall worke, ad the seuenth is the Sabbath of rest an holy feast: so that ye maye do no worke therein, for it is the Sabbath of the Lorde, wheresoeuer ye dwell. 4 These are the feastes of the Lorde whiche ye shall proclayme holy in their ceasons. 5 The xiiij. daye of the first moneth at eue is the Lordes Passeouer, 6 And the .xv. daye of the same moneth is the feast of swete bred vnto the Lorde: vij. dayes ye must eate vnleuended bred. 7 The first daye shalbe an holy feaste vnto you, so that ye maye do no laborious worke therein 8 But ye shall offer sacrifices vnto the Lord .vij dayes, and the seuenth daye also shalbe an holy feast, so that ye maye doo no laborious worke therein. 9 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayenge: 10 speake vnto the childern of Israell and saye vnto them: when ye be come in to the lande whiche I geue vnto you and repe doune youre haruest, ye shall brynge a shefe of the first frutes of youre haruest vnto the preast, 11 and he shall waue the shefe before the Lorde to be accepted for you: and euen the morow after the Sabbath the preaste shall waue it. 12 And ye shall offer the daye when he waueth the shefe, a labe without blemysh of a yere olde for a burntofferynge vnto the Lorde: 13 and the meatoffrynge thereof, two tenth deales of fine floure mengled with oyle to be a sacrifice vnto the Lorde of a swete sauoure: and the drinkofferinge thereto, the fourth deale of an hin of wyne. 14 And ye shall eate nether bred, nor parched corne, nor furmentye of new corne: vntyll the selfe same daye that ye haue broughte an offrynge vnto youre God. And this shalbe a lawe for euer vnto youre childern after you, where soeuer ye dwell. 15 And ye shall counte from the morowe after the Sabbath: euen from the daye that ye broughte the sheffe of the waueoffrynge, vii. wekes complete: 16 euen vnto the morow after the .vij. weke ye shall numbre .l. dayes. And the ye shal bringe a newe meatoffrynge unto the Lorde. 17 And ye shall brynge out of youre habitacions two waueloaues made of two tenthdeales off fine floure leuended and baken, for first frutes vnto the Lorde. 18 And ye shall bringe with the bred seuen lambes without deformyte of one yere of age, and one yonge oxe and .ij. rambes, which shall serue for burntoffrynges vnto the Lorde, with meatoffringes and drinkoffringes longinge to the same, to be a sacrifice of a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde. 19 And ye shall offer an he goote for a synneofferinge: and two lambes of one yere old for peaceoffringes, 20 And the preast shall waue the with the bred of the first frutes before the Lorde, and with the two lambes. And they shalbe holy vnto the Lorde, and be the preastes. 21 And ye shall make a proclamacio the same daye that it be an holy feast vnto you, and ye shall do no laborious worke therein: And it shalbe a lawe for euer thorowe out all youre habitacions vnto youre childern after you, 22 When ye repe doune youre haruest, thou shalt not make cleane ryddaunce off thy felde, nether shalt thou make any aftergatheringe of thy haruest: but shalt leue them vnto the poore and the straunger. I am the Lorde youre God. 23 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saynge: 24 speake vnto the childern of Israel ad saye. The first daye of the suenth moneth shalbe a rest of remembraunce vnto you, to blowe hornes in an holy feast it shalbe, 25 and ye shall do no laborious worke therein, and ye shall offer sacrifice vnto the Lorde.

26 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayenge: 27 also the tenth daye of the selfe seueth moneth, is a daye of an attonement, and shalbe on holy feast vnto you, ad ye shall humble youre soules and offer sacrifice vnto the Lorde. 28 Moreouer ye shall do no worke the same daye, for it is a daye of attonement to make an attonemet for you before the Lord your God. 29 For what soeuer soule it be that humbleth not him selfe that daye, he shalbe destroyde from amonge his people. 30 And what soeuer soule do any maner worke that daye, the same I will destroye from amonge his people. 31 Se that ye do no maner worke therfore. And it shalbe a lawe for euer vnto youre generacions after you in all youre dwellynges. 32 A sabbath of reste it shalbe vnto you, and ye shall humble youre soules. The .ix. daye of the moneth at euen and so forth from eue to euen agayne, ye shall kepe your Sabbath. 33 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayenge: 34 speake vnto the childern of Israel ad saye: the xv. daye of the same seuenth moneth shalbe the feast of tabernacles .vij. dayes uto the Lorde. 35 The first daye shalbe an holy feast, so that ye shall do no laborious worke therein. 36 Seuen dayes ye shall offer sacrifice vnto the Lorde, and the .viij daye shalbe an holy feast vnto you ad ye shall offer sacrifice vnto the Lorde. It is the ende of the feast, and ye shall do no laborious worke therein. 37 These are the feastes of the Lorde whiche ye shall proclayme holy feastes, for to offer sacrifice vnto the Lorde, burntofferynges, meatofferynges, and drinkoffrynges euery daye: 38 besyde the sabbathes of the Lorde, ad besyde youre giftes, and all youre vowes, and all your frewillofferynges whiche ye shall geue vnto the Lorde. 39 Moreouer in the .xv. daye of the seuenth moneth after that ye haue gathered in the frutes of the lande, ye shall kepe holy daye vnto the Lorde .vij: dayes longe. The first daye shall be a daye of reste, and the .viij. daye shalbe a daye of rest. 40 And ye shall take you the first daye, the frutes of goodly trees and the braunches off palme trees and the bowes of thicke trees, ad wylowes of the broke, and shall reioyse before the Lorde .vij. dayes. 41 And ye shall kepe it holy daye vnto the Lorde .vij. dayes in the yere. And it shalbe a lawe for euer vnto youre childern after you, that ye kepe that feast in the seuenth moneth. 42 And ye shall dwell in bothes seuen dayes: euen all that are Israelites borne, shall dwell in bothes, 43 that youre children after you maye knowe howe that I made the childern of Israel dwell in bothes, when I broughte them out of the lande of Egipte: for I am the Lorde youre God. 44 And Moses told all the feastes of the Lorde vnto the childern of Israel. Chapter 24 1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saynge: 2 commaunde the childern of Israel that they bringe vnto the, pure oyle olyue bete for lightes to poure in to the lampes allwaye, 3 without the vayle of testimonye within the tabernacle of witnesse. And Aaron shall dresse them both euen and morninge before the Lorde alwayes. And it shalbe a lawe for euer amoge youre childern after you. 4 And he shal dresse the lampes apon the pure candelsticke before the Lorde perpetually. 5 And thou shalt take fine floure ad bake .xij wastels thereof, two tenthdeales shall euery wastell be. 6 And make two rowes of them, sixe on a rowe apon the pure table before the Lorde,

7 and put pure frankencens vppon the rowes. And it shalbe bred of remembraunce, ad an offerynge to the Lorde. 8 Euery Sabbath he shall put them in rowes before the Lorde euer more, geuen off the childern of Israel, that it be an euerlastynge couenaunte. 9 And they shalbe Aarons and his sonnes, and they shall eate them in the holy place. For they are most holy vnto him of the offerynges of the Lorde, and shalbe a dutye for euer. 10 And the sonne of an Israelitish wife whose father was an Egiptian, went oute amonge the childern of Israel. And this sonne off the Israelitish wife and a man of Israel, strooue togither in the hoste. 11 And the Israelitish womans sonne blasphemed the name and cursed, and they broughte him vnto Moses. And his mothers name was Selamyth, the doughter off Dybri off the trybe of Dan: 12 and they putt him in warde, that Moses shulde declare vnto them what the Lorde sayde thereto. 13 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayenge, 14 bringe him that cursed without the hoste, and let all that herde him, put their handes apo his heed, and let all the multitude stone him. 15 And speake vnto the childern of Israel sayenge: Whosoeuer curseth his God, shall bere his synne: 16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lorde, shall dye for it: all the multitude shall stone him to deeth. And the straunger as well as the Israelite yf he curse the name, shall dye for it. 17 He that kylleth any man, shall dye for it: 18 but he that kylleth a beest shall paye for it, beest for beest. 19 Yf a man mayme his neyghboure as he hath done, so shall it be done to him agayne: 20 broke for broke, eye for eye and toth for toth: euen as he hath maymed a man, so shall he be maymed agayne. 21 So nowe he that kylleth a beest, shall paye for it: but he that kylleth a man, shall dye for it. 22 Ye shall haue one maner of lawe amonge you: eue for the straunger as wel as for one of youre selues, for I am the Lorde youre God. 23 And Moses tolde the childern of Israel, that they shulde bringe him that had cursed, out of the hoste, and stone him with stones. And the childern of Israel dyd as the Lorde comaunded Moses. Chapter 25 1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses in mount Sinai sayenge, 2 speake vnto the childern of Israel and saye vnto the. When ye be come in to the lande whiche I geue you, let the londe rest a Sabbath vnto the Lorde. 3 Sixe yeres thou shalt sowe thi felde, and sixe yere thou shalt cut thi vynes and gather in thi frutes. 4 But the seuenth yere shall be a Sabbath of rest vnto the londe. The Lordes Sabbath it shalbe, ad thou shalt nether sowe thi felde, nor cut thy vynes. 5 The corne that groweth by it selfe thou shalt not repe, nether gather the grapes that growe without thy dressynge: but it shalbe a Sabbath of rest vnto the londe. 6 Neuerthelesse the Sabbath of the londe shalbe meate for you: euen for the and thy servaunte and for thy mayde and for thy hyred servaunte and for the straunger that dwelleth with the: 7 and for thi catell and for the beestes that are in thy londe, shall all the encrease thereof be meate.

8 Then numbre seuen wekes of yeres, that is, seuen tymes seuen yere: and the space of the seuen wekes of yeres will be vnto the .xlix. yere. 9 And then thou shalt make an horne blowe: euen in the tenth daye of the seuenth moneth, which is the daye of attonement. And then shall ye make the horne blowe, euen thorowe out all youre lande. 10 And ye shall halowe the fiftith yere, and proclayme libertie thorowe out the lande vnto all the inhabiters thereof, It shalbe a yere of hornes blowynge vnto you and ye shall returne: euery man vnto his possession and euery man vnto his kynred agayne. 11 A yere of hornes blowynge shall that fiftieth yere be vnto you. Ye shall not sowe nether repe the corne that groweth by it selfe, nor gather the grapes that growe without thi laboure 12 For it is a yere of hornes blowinge and shalbe holy vnto you: how be it, yet ye shall eate of the encrease of the felde. 13 And in this yere of hornes blowinge ye shall returne, euery man vnto his possession agayne. 14 When thou sellest oughte vnto thy neyghboure or byest off thy neyghboures hande, ye shall not oppresse one another: 15 but accordynge to the numbre of yeres after the trompett yere, thou shalt bye of thy neyghboure, and accordynge vnto the numbre off fruteyeres, he shall sell vnto the. 16 Accordinge vnto the multitude of yeres, thou shalt encrease the price thereof and accordinge to the fewnesse of yeres, thou shalt mynish the price: for the numbre of frute he shall sell vnto the. 17 And see that no ma oppresse his neyghboure, but feare thi God. For I am the Lorde youre God. 18 Wherfore do after myne ordinaunces and kepe my lawes ad doo them, that ye maye dwell in the lande in saftie. 19 And the lande shall geue her frute, and ye shall eate youre fille and dwell therein in saftie. 20 Yf ye shall saye, what shall we eate the seuenth yere in as moche as we shall not sowe nor gether in oure encrease. 21 I wyll sende my blessynge apon you in the sixte yere, 22 and it shall brynge forth frute for thre yeres: and ye shall sowe the eyghte yere and eate of olde frute vntill the .ix. yere, and euen vntyll hir frutes come, ye shall eate of olde stoare. 23 Wherfore the londe shall not be solde for euer, because that the lande is myne, and ye but straungers and soiourners with me: 24 and ye shall thorowe oute all the lande of youre possession, let the londe go home fre agayne. 25 When thy brother is waxed poore and hath solde awaye of his possession: yf any off his kyn come to redeme it, he shall by out that whiche his brother solde. 26 And though he haue no man to redeme it for him, yet yf hys hande can get sufficyent to bye it oute agayne, 27 then let him counte how longe it hath bene solde, and delyuer the rest vnto him to whome he solde it, ad so he shall returne vnto his possession agayne. 28 But and yf his hande ca not get sufficiet to restore it to him agayne, then that whiche is solde shall remayne in the hande of him that hath boughte it, vntyll the horneyere: and in the horne yere it shall come out, and he shall returne vnto his possession agayne. 29 Yf a man sell a dwellynge house in a walled cytie he maye bye it out agayne any tyme withi a hole yere after it is solde: and that shalbe the space in which he maye redeme it agayne.

30 But and yf it be not bought out agayne within the space of a full yere then the housse in the walled cytie shalbe stablished for euer vnto him that boughte it and to his successoures after hi and shall not goo out in the trompet yere. 31 But the housses in villagies which haue no walles rounde aboute them shalbe counted like vnto the feldes of the cuntre and maye be boughte out agayne at any season and shall goo out fre in the trompett yere. 32 Notwithstondynge the cityes of the leuytes and the housses in the cyties of their possessios the leuites maye redeme at all ceasons. 33 And yf a man purchace ought of the leuytes: whether it be house or citie that they possesse, the bargayne shall goo out in the tropet yere. for the housses of the cyties of the leuites are their possessions amonge the childern of Israel. 34 But the feldes that lye rounde aboute their cyties shall not be bought: for they are their possessions for euer. 35 Yf thi brother be waxed poore and falle in decaye with the receaue him as a straunger or a soiourner and let him lyue by the. 36 And thou shalt take none vsurye of him nor yet vantage. But shalt feare thi God that thi brother maye lyue with the. 37 Thou shalt not lende him thi money apon vsurye nor lende him of thi fode to haue avantage by it for 38 I am the Lorde youre God which broughte you out of the lande of Egipte, to geue you the lande of Canaan and to be youre God. 39 Yf thi brother that dwelleth by the waxe poore and sell him selfe vnto the thou shalt not let him laboure as a bondseruaunte doeth: 40 but as an hyred seruaunte and as a soiourner he shalbe with the and shall serue the vnto the trompetyere 41 and then shall he departe fro the: both he and his childern with him and shall returne vnto his awne kynred agayne and vnto the possessions of his fathers. 42 for they are my seruauntes which I brought out of the lande of Egipte and shall not be solde as bondmen. 43 Se therfore that thou reigne not ouer him cruelly but feare thi God. 44 Yf thou wilt haue bondseruauntes and maydens thou shalt bye them of the heythen that are rounde aboute you 45 and of the childern of the straungers that are soiorners amonge you ad of their generacios that are with you, which they begate in youre lade. 46 And ye shall possesse them and geue them vnto youre childern after you, to possesse them for euer: and they shalbe youre bond men: But ouer youre brethern the childern of Israel ye shall not reigne one ouer another cruelly. 47 When a straunger and a soiourner waxeth rych by the ad thi brother that dwelleth by him waxeth poore and sell him selfe vnto the straunger that dwelleth by the or to any of the straungers kyn: 48 after that he is solde he maye be redemed agayne. one of his brethren maye bye him out: 49 whether it be his vncle or his vncles sonne or any that is nye of kynne vnto him of his kynred: ether yf his hande can get so moch he maye be loosed. 50 And he shall reken with him that boughte him from the yere that he was solde in vnto the trompet yere and the pryce of his byenge shalbe acordynge vnto the numbre of yeres and he shalbe with him as a hyred seruaunte. 51 Yf there be yet many yeres behynde acordynge vnto them he shall geue agayne for his delyueraunce of the money that he was solde for.

52 Yf there remayne but few yeres vnto the trompet yere he shall so counte with him and acordynge vnto his yeres geue him agayne for his redempcion 53 and shalbe with him yere by yere as an hyred seruaunte and the other shall not reygne cruelly ouer him in thi syghte. 54 Yf he be not bought fre in the meane tyme then he shall goo out in the trompet yere and his childern with him. 55 for the childern of Israel are my seruauntes which I broughte out of the lande of Egipte. I am the Lorde youre God. Chapter 26 1 Ye shall make you no ydolles nor grauen ymage nether rere you vpp any piler nether ye shall sett vp any ymage of stone in youre lande to bowe youre selues there to: for I am the Lorde youre God. 2 kepe my sabbathes and feare my sanctuary. for I am the Lorde. 3 Yf ye shall walke in myne ordynaunces and kepe my commaundmentes and do them 4 then I will sende you rayne in the ryght ceason ad youre londe shall yelde hir encrease and the trees of the felde shall geue their frute. 5 And the threshynge shall reach vnto wyne haruest and the wyneharuest shall reach vnto sowyng tyme and ye shall eate youre bred in plenteousnes and shall dwell in youre lande peasably. 6 And I wil sende peace in youre londe that ye shall slepe, and no man shal make you afrayde. And I will ryd euell beestes out of youre londe, and there shall no swerde goo thorowe out youre lande. 7 And ye shall chace youre enemyes, and they shall fall before you vppon the swerde. 8 And fiue of you shall chace an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put .x. thousande to flighte, and youre enemyes shall fall before you apon the swerde. 9 And I wil turne vnto you and encrease you and multipye you, and sett vpp my testament with you. 10 And ye shall eate olde store, ad cast out the olde for plentuousnes of the newe. 11 I will make my dwellynge place amonge you, and my soule shall not loothe you. 12 And I will walke amonge you and wilbe youre God, and ye shalbe my people. 13 For I am the Lorde youre God, whiche broughte you out off the lande of the Egiptians, that ye shulde not be their bondemen, and I brake the bowes of youre yockes, and made you go vprighte. 14 But and yf ye will not harken vnto me, nor will do all these my commaundementes, 15 or yf ye shall despyse myne ordinaunces ether yf youre soules refuse my lawes, so that ye wil not do all my commaundnentes, but shall breake myne appoyntment: 16 then I will do this agayne vnto you: I will viset you with vexations, swellynge and feuers, that shall make youre eyes dasell and with sorowes of herte. And ye shall sowe youre seed in vayne, for youre enemyes shall eate it. 17 And I will set my face agenste you and ye shal fall before youre enemyes, and they that hate you shal raigne ouer you, ad ye shall flee whe no man foloweth you. 18 And yf ye will not yet for all this herken vnto me, than will I punish you seuen tymes more for youre synnes, 19 and will breake the pride off youre strength. For I will make the heaue ouer you as harde as yerne, and youre londe as hard as brasse. 20 And so youre laboure shalbe spent in vayne. For youre londe shall not geue hir encrease, nether the trees of the londe shall geue their frutes. 21 And yf ye walke contrary vnto me and will not herken vnto me, I will bringe seuen tymes moo plages apon you acordinge to your synnnes.

22 I will sende in wylde beestes apon you, which shall robbe you of youre childern and destroye youre catell, and make you so fewe in numbre that youre hye wayes shall growe vnto a wildernesse. 23 And yf ye will not be lerned yet for all this but shall walke contrarye vnto me, 24 then will I also walke contrarye vnto you and will punish you yet seuen tymes for youre synnes. 25 I will sende a swerde apon you, that shall avenge my testament with you. And when ye are fled vnto youre cities, I will sende the pestelence amonge you, ye shall be delyuered in to the handes of youre enemyes. 26 And when I haue broken the staffe of youre bred: that .x. wyues shall bake youre bred in one ouen and men shall delyuer you youre bred agayne by weyghte, tha shal ye eate and shall not be satisfied. 27 And yf ye will not yet for all this harken vnto me, but shall walke contrarye vnto me, 28 then I will walke contrary vnto you also wrathfully and will also chastice you seuen tymes for youre synnes: 29 so that ye shall eate the flesh of youre sonnes and the flesh of youre doughters. 30 And I will destroye youre alters bylt apon hye hylles, and ouerthrowe youre images, and cast youre carkasses apon the bodies of youre ydolles, and my soule shall abhorre you. 31 And I will make youre cities desolate, and bringe youre sanctuaries vnto nought, and will not smell the sauoures of youre swete odoures. 32 And I will bringe the londe vnto a wildernesse: so that youre enemyes which dwell therein shall wondre at it. 33 And I will strawe you amonge the heethen, and will drawe out a swerde after you, and youre lande shalbe wast, and youre cities desolate. 34 Then the lande shall reioyse in hir Sabbathes, as longe as it lyeth voyde and ye in youre enemies londe: euen then shall the londe kepe holye daye and reioyse in hir Sabbathes. 35 And as longe as it lyeth voyde it shall rest, for that it coude not reste in youre Sabbathes, when ye dwelt therein. 36 And vppon them that are left alyue of you I will sende a feyntnesse in to their hertes in the londe of their enemies: so that the sounde of a leef that falleth, shall chace them and they shall flee as though thei fled a swerde, and shall fall no man folowinge them. 37 And they shall fall one uppon another, as it were before a swerde euen no man folowinge them, and ye shall haue no power to stonde before youre enemyes: 38 And ye shall perish amonge the hethen, ad the londe of youre enemyes shall eate you vpp. 39 And thei that are left of you, shall pyne awaye in their vnrightuousnes, euen in their enemies londe, and also in the mysdeades of their fathers shall they consume. 40 And they shall confesse their misdedes and the misdeades of their fathers in their trespases which thei haue trespased against me, and for that also that thei haue walked contrary vnto me. 41 Therfore I also will walke contrary vnto them, and will brynge them in to the londe of their enemyes. And then at the leest waye their vncircumcysed hertes shall be tamed, ad then they shall make an attonement for their misdedes. 42 And I wil remembre my bonde with Iacob and my testamet with Isaac, and my testament with Abraham, and will thinke on the londe. 43 For the londe shall be lefte of them and shall haue pleasure in hir Sabbathes, while she lyeth wast without them, and they shall make an attonement for their misdeades, because they despysed my lawes and their soules refused myne ordinaunces.

44 And yet for all that when thei be in the londe of their enemyes, I will not so cast them awaye nor my soule shall not so abhorre them, that I will vtterlye destroye the ad breake myne appoyntment with them: for I am the Lorde their God. 45 I will therfore remebre vnto the the first couenaunt made when I broughte them out of the lond of Egipte in the sighte of the hethen to be their God: for I am the Lorde. 46 These are the ordinaunces, iudgemetes, ad lawes which the Lorde made betwene him ad the childern of Israel in mount Sinai by the hade of Moses. Chapter 27 1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saynge: 2 speake vnto the childern of Israel and saye vnto them: Yf any man will geue a synguler vowe vnto the Lorde acordynge to the value 3 of his soule then shall the male from .xx. yere vnto .lx. be set at fyftie sycles of syluer after the sycle of the sanctuary 4 and the female at .xxx. sycles. 5 And from .v. yeres to xx. the male shalbe set at .xx. sycles and the female at .x. sycles. 6 And from a moneth vnto .v. yere the male shalbe set at .v. sycles of syluer and the female at thre. 7 And the man that is .lx. and aboue shalbe valowed at .xv. sicles, ad the woman at .x. 8 Yf he be to poore so to be set, the let him come before the preast: and let the preast value him acordynge as the hande of him that vowed is able to gete. 9 Yf it be of the beestes of which men bringe an offeringe vnto the Lorde: all that any man geueth of soch vnto the Lorde shalbe holy. 10 He maye not alter it nor chaunge it: a good for a bad or a bad for a goode. Yf he chaunge beest for beest then both the same beest and it also where with it was chaunged shall be holy. 11 yf it be any maner of vncleane beest of which men maye not offer vnto the Lorde let him brynge the beest before the preast 12 and let the preast value it. And whether it be good or bad as the preast setteth it so shall it be. 13 And yf he will bye it agayne let him geue the fyfte parte moare to that it was set at. 14 Yf any man dedicate his housse it shalbe holy vnto the Lorde. And the preast shall set it. whether it be good or bad and as the preast hath set it so it shalbe. 15 Yf he that sanctifyed it will redeme his housse let him geue the fyfte parte of the money that it was iudged at thereto and it shalbe his. 16 Yf a man halowe a pece of his enhereted londe vnto the Lorde it shalbe set acordynge to that it beareth. Yf it bere an homer of barlye it shall be set at fyftie sicles of syluer. 17 yf he halowe his felde inmediatly from the trompet yere it shalbe worth acordynge as it is estemed. But and if he halowe his felde after the tropetyere the preast shall reke the price with him acordynge to the yeres that remayne vnto the tropet yere, ad there after it shalbe lower sett. 19 Yf he that sanctifyed the felde will redeme it agayne let him put the fyfte parte of the pryce that it was set at, 20 there vnto and it shalbe his yf he will not it shalbe redemed nomoare. 21 But when the felde goeth out in the trompet yere it shalbe holy vnto the Lorde: euen as a thinge dedycated, ad it shall be the preastes possession. 22 Yf a man sanctifie vnto the Lorde a felde which he hath boughte and is not of his enheritaunce 23 then the preast shall reken with him what it is worth vnto the trompet yere and he shall geue the price that it is set at the same daye, and it shalbe holy vnto the Lorde.

24 But in the trompet yere, the felde shall returne vnto him, of whome he boughte it, whose enheritaunce of londe it was. 25 And all settinge shalbe acordinge to the holy sycle. One sycle maketh .xx. Geras. 26 But the firstborne of the beestes that pertayne vnto the Lorde, maye no ma sanctifie: whether it be oxe or shepe, for they are the Lordes allredy. 27 Yf it be an vncleane beest, then let him redeme it as it is sett at, and geue the fifte parte moare thereto. Yf it be not redemed, the let it be solde as it is rated. 28 Notwithstondinge no dedicated thinge that a man dedicateth vnto the Lorde, of all his goode, whether it be man or beest or lande off his enheritaunce, shalbe solde or redemed: for all dedicate thiges are most holy vnto the Lorde. 29 No dedicate thinge therfore that is dedicate of ma, may be redemed, but must nedes dye 30 All these tithes of the londe, whether it be of the corne of the felde or frute of the trees, shalbe holy vnto the Lorde. 31 Yf any man will redeme oughte of his tithes, let him adde the fifte parte moare thereto. 32 And the tithes of oxen and shepe and of all that goeth vnder the herdemans kepinge, shalbe holye tithes vnto the Lorde. 33 Men shal not loke yf it be good or bad nor shall chaunge it. Yf any man chaunge it then both it and that it was chaunged with all, shalbe holy and maye not be redemed. 34 These are the commaundmentes whiche the Lorde gaue Moses in charge to geue vnto the childern of Israel in mount Sinai.
