dyd so, and put them out of the hoast: euen as the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, so
dyd the children of
Israel
.
5 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
6 Speake vnto the children of Israel: When a man or woman shall commit any sinne
that men comit, and trespasse agaynst the Lorde: when that person shall
trespasse,
7 Then they shall knowledge their sinne which they haue done, and let hym
restore againe the hurt that he hath done, with his principall, and put the fift
part of it more therto, and geue it vnto hym whom he hath trespassed agaynst.
8 But and if the man haue no kinseman to restore the hurt vnto, let the
trespasse be made good vnto the Lorde, and it shalbe the priestes, beside the
Ramme of the attonement, wherby an attonement shalbe made for hym.
9 And euery heaue offering that is made of the holy thynges of the children of
Israel
which they bring vnto the priest, shalbe his.
10 And euery mans halowed thynges shalbe his: whatsoeuer any man geueth the
priest, it shalbe his.
11 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
12 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them: If any mans wyfe go
aside, and trespasse agaynst hym,
13 So that another man lye with her fleshly, and it be hid from the eyes of her
husbande, and is kept close that she is defyled, and there is no witnesse
against her, neither she taken with the maner,
14 And the spirite of gelousie commeth vpon hym, so that he is gelous ouer his
wyfe which is defyled: or if the spirite of gelousie come vpon hym, so that he
is gelous ouer his wyfe which is yet vndefyled:
15 Then let the man bring his wyfe vnto the priest, and bring her offeryng with
her, the tenth part of an Epha of barly meale: but let hym put no oyle vpon it,
nor put frankensence theron, for it is an offeryng of gelousie, an offeryng for
a remembraunce, causyng the sinne to be thought vpon.
16 And the priest shall bryng her, and set her before the Lorde.
17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and of the dust
that is in the floore of the tabernacle, the priest shal take it, and put it
into ye water.
18 And let the priest set the woman before the Lorde, and vncouer the womans
head, and put the offering of memoriall in her handes, which is the gelousie
offeryng: and the priest shall haue bytter and cursed water in his hande.
19 And the priest shall charge her by an othe, and say vnto the woman: If no man
haue lyen with thee, neither hast gone aside to vncleannesse without thy
husbande, then haue thou no harme of this bitter and cursed waters.
20 But and if thou hast gone aside from thyne husbande, and art defiled, and
some man hath lyen with thee beside thyne husbande:
21 (Then ye priest shal charge the woman with an othe of cursing, & the
priest shall say vnto the woman) the Lorde make thee accursed and detestable for
the othe among the people, when the Lord doth make thy thigh to rot, & thy
belly swell.
22 These cursed waters go into the bowels of thee, that they may make thy belly
swell, and thy thigh to rotte. And let the woman say, Amen amen.
23 And let the priest write these curses in a booke, and shall blot them out
with the bitter waters:
24 And geue the woman those bitter and cursed waters to drinke, yt those cursed
and bitter waters may enter into her.
25 And then the priest shall take the gelousie offeryng out of the womans hande,
and waue it before the Lorde, and bryng it vnto the aulter.
26 And the priest shall take an handfull of the offeryng for a memoriall, &
burne it vpon the aulter, and then make the woman drynke the waters:
27 And when he hath made the woman drynke the waters, if she be defiled and haue
trespassed agaynst her husbande, then shall the cursed and bytter waters go into
her, and her belly shal swell, and her thigh shall rotte: and the woman shalbe a
curse among her people.
28 And yf the woman be not defiled, but is cleane, she shall haue no harme, but
shall conceaue and beare.
29 This is the lawe of gelousie, when a wyfe goeth aside from her husbande, and
is defiled:
30 Or when the spirit of gelousie cometh vpon a man, and he beyng gelous ouer
his wyfe, doth bryng her before ye Lord: And the priest shall do to her
accordyng vnto all this lawe,
31 And the man shalbe giltlesse, and this woman shall beare her sinne.
CHAPTER

1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them: Whe either man or woman
doth seperate them selues to vowe a vowe of a Nazarite, to seperate them selues
vnto the Lorde:
3 He shall seperate him selfe from wine and strong drynke, and shall drynke no
vineger of wine or of strong drinke, nor shall drinke whatsoeuer is pressed out
of grapes, and shall eate no freshe grapes, neither yet dried.
4 As long as his abstinence endureth, shall he eate nothyng that is made of the
vine tree, or of the cornels, or of the huske of the grape.
5 And as long as he voweth and is seperated, there shall not rasure come vpon
his head, vntyll his dayes be out in the which he seperateth hym selfe vnto the
Lorde, he shalbe holy, and shall let the lockes of his heere growe.
6 As long as he seperateth hym selfe vnto the Lorde, he shall come at no dead
body.
7 He shall not make hym selfe vncleane at the death of his father, mother,
brother, or sister: because that the consecration of his God is vpon his head,
8 All the dayes of his seperation, he is holy vnto the Lorde.
9 And if any man dye sodenly before him, or he be ware, the head of his
consecration shalbe defiled: and he shall shaue his head the day of his
cleansyng, euen the seuenth day shall he shaue it.
10 And the eyght day he shall bryng two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the
priest, before the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation.
11 And the priest shall offer the one for a sinne offeryng, and the other for a
burnt offeryng: and make an attonement for hym as concernyng that he sinned by
the dead, and shall halowe his head the same day.
12 And he shall consecrate vnto the Lord the tyme of his seperation, & shall
bring a lambe of a yere olde for a trespasse offeryng: but the dayes that were
before are lost, because his consecration was defiled.
13 This is the lawe of the Nazarite: when the tyme of his consecration is out,
he shalbe brought vnto the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation:
14 And he shall bryng his offeryng vnto the Lorde, an hee lambe of a yere olde
without blemishe for a burnt offeryng, and a shee lambe of a yere olde without
blemishe for a sinne offering, & a ramme without blemishe also for peace
offerynges,
15 And a basket of vnleauened bread, euen cakes of fine floure mingled with oyle,
and wafers of vnleauened bread annoynted with oyle, with their meate offerynges
and drynke offerynges.
16 And the priest shall bryng them before the Lorde, and offer his sinne
offeryng and his burnt offeryng.
17 And shall prepare the ramme for a peace offering vnto the Lorde, with the
basket of vnleauened bread: and the priest shall make also his meat offeryng and
his drynke offeryng.
18 And the Nazarite shal shaue the head of his consecration at the doore of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and shal take the heere of the head of his
consecration, and put it in the fire which is vnder the peace offeryng.
19 And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ramme, and one
vnleauened cake out of the basket, and one vnleauened wafer also, and put them
vpon the handes of the Nazarite, after he hath shauen his consecration.
20 And the priest shall waue them before the Lorde: And these holy thynges
shalbe the priestes, with the waue
brest
and the heaue shoulder: and then the Nazarite may drynke wine.
21 This is the lawe of the Nazarite which hath vowed his offeryng vnto the Lorde
for his consecration, besides those thynges that his hande can get: according to
the vowe which he vowed, euen so he must do after the lawe of his consecration.
22 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
23 Speake vnto Aaron and his sonnes, saying: On this wyse ye shall blesse the
chyldren of Israel, and say vnto them:
24 The Lorde blesse thee, and kepe thee:
25 The Lorde make his face shine vpon thee, and be mercyfull vnto thee:
26 The Lorde lyft vp his countenaunce vpon thee, and geue thee peace.
27 And they shall put my name vpon the chyldren of
Israel
, and I wyll blesse them.

CHAPTER
8
1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
2 Speake vnto Aaron, and say vnto hym: When thou settest vp the lampes, the
seuen lampes shal geue light towarde ye forefront of the candlesticke.
3 And Aaron dyd euen so, and lyghted the lampes thereof towarde the forefront of

accordyng vnto the paterne which the Lorde had shewed Moyses, euen so he made

5 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
6 Take the Leuites from among the children of
Israel
, and cleanse them.
7 And thus shalt thou do vnto them, when thou cleansest them: Sprinckle water of
purifiyng vpon them, and let them shaue all their fleshe, and let them washe
their clothes, and so make them selues cleane.
8 Then let them take a young bullocke with his meate offeryng [euen] fine floure
minged with oyle, and another young bullocke shalt thou take for a sinne
offeryng.
9 And thou shalt bryng the Leuites before the tabernacle of the congregation,
thou shalt gather the whole multitude of the children of
Israel
together,
10 And bryng the Leuites before the Lorde, and the children of
Israel
shall put their handes vpon the Leuites.
11 And Aaron shall waue the Leuites before the Lorde for a waue offeryng of the

Israel
, that they may execute the ministration of the seruice of the Lorde.
12 And the Leuites shal put their handes vpon the heades of the bullockes: and

13 And thou shalt set the Leuites before Aaron and his sonnes, and waue them for

14 And thus thou shalt seperate the Leuites from among the children of
Israel
, and the Leuites shalbe myne.
15 After that, shall the Leuites go in, to do the seruice of the tabernacle of
the congregation: And thou shalt cleanse them, & waue them for a waue
offering:
16 For they are geuen and deliuered vnto me from among the children of Israel
for such as open euery wombe, euen for the first borne of all the children of
Israel haue I taken them vnto me.
17 For all the first borne of the children of
Israel
are mine, both man and beast: since the day that I smote euery first borne in
the lande of
Egypt
, I sanctified them for my selfe.
18 And I haue taken the Leuites for all the first borne of the children of
Israel
.
19 And haue geuen the Leuites as a gift to Aaron and his sonnes from among the
children of Israel, to do the seruice of the children of Israel in the
tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an attonement for the children of

22 After that, went the Leuites in, to do their seruice in the tabernacle of the
congregation before Aaron and his sonnes: as the Lorde had comaunded Moyses
concernyng the Leuites, euen so they dyd vnto them.
23 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
24 This is it that belongeth vnto the Leuites: From twentie and fiue yeres olde
and vpwarde, they shall go in to wayte vpon the seruice of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
25 And from the age of fiftie yeres, they shall ceasse waytyng vpon the seruice
therof, and shall serue no more:
26 But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation,
to kepe thynges committed to their charge: but shall do no more seruice. Thus
therfore shalt thou do vnto the Leuites touchyng their charge,
CHAPTER
9
1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses in the wildernesse of Sinai, in the first
moneth of the seconde yere, after they were come out of the lande of Egypt,
saying:
2 Let the children of Israel celebrate the Passouer at the tyme appoynted
thervnto:
3 Euen ye fourteenth day of this moneth at euen: ye shall kepe it in his season
accordyng to all the ceremonies of it, and according to all the maners therof,
shall ye kepe it.
4 And Moyses spake vnto the children of
Israel
, that they should celebrate the Passouer.
5 And they kept the Passouer the foureteenth day of the first moneth at euen in
the wildernesse of Sinai: according to all that the Lorde comaunded Moyses, euen
so dyd the children of
Israel
.
6 And certayne men were defiled by a dead man, that they myght not kepe the
Passouer the same day, and they came before Moyses & Aaron the same day.
7 And those men sayde vnto hym, we are defiled by a dead man: wherfore are we
kept backe, that we may not offer an offeryng vnto the Lorde in due season,
among the children of
Israel
?
8 And Moyses sayd vnto them: Stande styll, and I wyll heare what the Lorde wyll
commaunde concernyng you.
9 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
10 Speake vnto the children of
Israel
, and say: If any man be vncleane by the reason of a coarse, or be in a way
farre distaunt from you and from your generations, he shall kepe the Passouer
vnto the Lorde.
11 The fourteenth day of the seconde moneth at euen let them kepe it: and eate
it with vnleauened bread, & sowre hearbes.
12 Let them leaue none of it vnto the morning, nor breake any bone of it: But
accordyng to all the ordinaunce of the Passouer, let them kepe it.
13 But the man that is cleane, and is not in a iourney, and yet was negligent to
kepe the Passouer: the same soule shalbe cut of from his people, because he
brought not the offeryng of the Lorde in his due season, that man shall beare
his sinne.
14 And if a straunger dwell among you, and wyll kepe the Passouer vnto the Lorde:
accordyng to the ordinance of the Passouer and maner therof, so shall he do. Ye
shall haue one lawe both for the straunger, and for hym that was borne in the
same lande.
15 And the same day that the tabernacle was reared vp, a cloude couered the
tabernacle, [namely] the tabernacle of the testimonie: and at euen, there was
vpon the tabernacle, as it were the appearaunce of fire, vntyll the mornyng.
16 So it was alway: the cloude couered it by day, and the appearaunce of fire by
nyght.
17 And when the cloude was taken vp from the tabernacle, then the children of,
Israel
iourneyed: and in the place where the cloude abode, there the children of
Israel
pitched their tentes.
18 At the mouth of the Lorde the childre of Israel iourneyed, and at the mouth
of the Lorde they pitched: And as long as the cloude abode vpon the tabernacle,
they lay styll:
19 And when the cloude taryed styll vpon the tabernacle long tyme, the children
of Israel kept the watche of the Lorde, and iourneyed not.
20 And when the cloude abode a fewe dayes vpon the tabernacle, they abode in
their tentes, accordyng to the commaundement of the Lorde: and they iourneyed
also at the commaundement of the Lorde.
21 And when the cloude abode vpon the tabernacle from euen vnto the mornyng,
& was taken vp in the mornyng, then they iourneyed: Whether it was by day or
by nyght that the cloude was taken vp, they iourneyed.
22 Or if the cloude taryed two dayes, or a moneth, or a yere vpon the tabernacle
and remayned theron, the children of
Israel
remayned styll and iourneyed not: And assoone as the cloude was taken vp, they
iourneyed.
23 At the mouth of the Lord they rested in the tentes, and at the comaundement
of the Lorde they iourneyed, kepyng the watche of the Lorde at the commaundement
of the Lord by the hande of Moyses.
CHAPTER
10
1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
2 Make thee two trumpettes of siluer: of an whole peece shalt thou make them,
that thou mayest vse them to call the congregation together, and when the campe
shall iourney.
3 And when they shal blowe with them, all the multitude shall resort to thee
before the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 And if they blowe but one trumpet, then the princes which are heades ouer the
thousandes of
Israel
shall come vnto thee.
5 But if ye blowe an alarme, the hoastes that lye on the east partes shall go
forwarde.
6 And if ye blowe the alarme the second tyme, the hoast that lyeth on the south
side shall take their iourney: for they shall blowe an alarme when they take
their iourneyes.
7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, they shall blowe without
an alarme.
8 And the sonnes of Aaron the priestes shall blowe with their trumpettes, and ye
shall haue them as a lawe for euer in your generations.
9 And if ye go to warre in your lande agaynst your enemies that vexe you, ye
shall blowe an alarme with the trumpettes, and ye shalbe remembred before the
Lorde your God, to be saued from your enemies.
10 Also in the day of your gladnesse, and in your feast dayes, & in the
begynnyng of your monethes, ye shall blowe the trumpettes ouer your burnt
sacrifices and peace offerynges, that they may be a remembraunce for you before
your God: I am the Lorde your God.
11 And it came to passe the twentith day of the seconde moneth in the seconde
yere, that the cloude was taken vp from of the tabernacle of the testimonie.
12 And the children of
Israel
toke their iourney out of the
desert
of
Sinai
, and the cloude rested in the wildernesse of Pharan.
13 And they first toke their iourney at the mouth of the Lorde by the hande of
Moyses.
14 In the first place went the standerde of the hoast of the children of Iuda
accordyng to their armies: whose captayne was Nahasson the sonne of Aminadab.
15 And ouer the hoast of the tribe of the children of Isachar, was Nathanael the
sonne of Zuar.
16 And ouer the hoast of the tribe of the chyldren of Zabulon, was Eliab the
sonne of Helon.
17 And the tabernacle was take downe, and the sonnes of Gerson and Merari went
foorth bearing the tabernacle.
18 And the hoast of Ruben went foorth with their standerd and armies, whose
captaine was Elizur ye sonne of Sedeur.
19 And ouer the hoast of the tribe of the chyldren of Simeon, was Salamiel the
sonne of Suri Saddai.
20 And ouer the hoast of the tribe of the chyldren of Gad, was Eliasaph the
sonne of Duel.
21 The Caathites also went forwarde and bare the sanctuarie, & the other dyd
set vp the tabernacle against they came.
22 And the standerd of the hoast of the chyldren of Ephraim went foorth
accordyng to their armies, whose captayne was Elisama the sonne of Ammiud.
23 And ouer the hoast of the tribe of the sonnes of Manasse, was Gamaliel the
sonne of Pedazur.
24 And ouer the hoast of the tribe of the sonnes of Beniamin, was Abidan the
sonne of Gedeon.
25 And the standerd of the hoast of the children of Dan came foorth (gathering
all the hoastes together) throughout their armies, whose captaine was Ahiezer
the sonne of Ammi Saddai.
26 And ouer the hoast of the tribe of the chyldren of Aser, was Pagiel the sonne
of Ochran.
27 And ouer the hoast of the tribe of the chyldren of Nephthali, was Ahira the
sonne of Enan.
28 These are the iourneys of the chyldren of
Israel
throughout their armies, and thus the hoastes remoued.
29 And Moyses sayde vnto Hobab the sonne of Raguel the Madiamte, which was
Moyses father in lawe: We go vnto the place of whiche the Lorde sayde, I wyll
geue it you. Come thou therefore with vs, and we wyll do thee good: for the
Lorde hath promised good vnto
Israel
.
30 And he aunswered hym: I wyll not go, but wyl depart to mine owne lande, and
to my kinred.
31 He said: Oh nay, leaue vs not, for thou knowest our mansions in the
wyldernesse, and thou mayest be to vs in steade of eyes.
32 And if thou go with vs, looke what goodnesse the Lorde sheweth vnto vs, the
same wyll we shewe vnto thee.
33 And they departed from the mount of the Lorde three dayes iourney, and the
arke of the couenaunt of the Lorde went before them in ye three dayes iourney,
to search out a resting place for the.
34 And the cloude of the Lorde was vppon them by day, when they went out of the
campe.
35 And when ye arke went foorth, Moyses sayde: Rise vp Lorde, and let thine
enemies be scattered, and let them that hate thee, flee before thee.
36 And when the arke rested, he sayde: Returne O Lord, vnto the many thousandes
of
Israel
.
CHAPTER
11
1 And when the people dyd wickedly, it was a displeasure in the eares of the
Lorde: And when the Lorde hearde it, his countenaunce was prouoked to wrath, and
the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were the vttermost
of the hoast.
2 And the people cryed vnto Moyses: And when Moyses made intercession vnto the
Lorde, the fire quenched.
3 And he called the name of the place Taberah, because the fire of the Lorde
burnt among them.
4 And a number of people that was among them fell a lustyng, and turned them
selues, and wept (euen as dyd also the chyldren of
Israel
) and sayd: who shall geue vs fleshe to eate?
5 We remember the fishe which we did eate in
Egypt
for naught, & the cucumbers, & melons, leekes, onions & garleck.
6 But now our soule is dryed away: for we can see nothing els, saue Manna.
7 The Manna was as coriander seede, and to see to lyke Bedellion.
8 And the people went about and gathered it, & grounde it in milles, or beat
it in morters, and baked it in pannes, and made cakes of it: And the taste of
it, was lyke vnto the taste of freshe oyle.
9 And when the deawe fell downe vpon the hoast in the nyght, the Manna fell vpon
it.
10 And when Moyses hearde the people weepe throughout their housholdes, euery
man in the doore of his tent, the wrath of the Lord was kindeled exceedingly,
and it greeued Moyses also.
11 And Moyses sayde vnto the Lorde: Wherefore hast thou dealt cruelly with thy
seruaunt? And wherefore haue I not founde fauour in thy sight, seyng that thou
puttest the wayght of all this people vpon me?
12 Haue I conceaued all this people? Or haue I begotten them, that thou
shouldest say vnto me,
Cary
them in thy bosome as a nurse beareth the suckyng chylde, vnto the lande which
thou swarest vnto their fathers?
13 Where shoulde I haue fleshe to geue vnto all this people, whiche weepe before
me, saying: Geue vs fleshe that we may eate.
14 I am not able to beare all this people alone, seyng it is to heauie for me.
15 If thou deale thus with me, kyll me I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in
thy sight, yt I see not my wretchednesse.
16 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Gather vnto me threscore and ten men of the
elders of Israel, which thou knowest that they are the elders of the people
& officers ouer them: and thou shalt bryng them vnto the tabernacle of the
congregation, that they may stande there with thee:
17 And I wyll come downe, and talke with thee there, and take of the spirite
which is vpon thee, and put vpon them, and they shall beare the burthen of the
people with thee, lest thou be constrayned to beare it alone.
18 And say thou vnto the people, Be halowed agaynst to morowe, and ye shall eate
fleshe: for your whyning is in the eares of the Lorde, seyng ye sayd, Who shall
geue vs fleshe to eate? we were happy in
Egypt
: Therefore the Lorde wyll geue you fleshe, and ye shall eate.
19 Ye shall not eate one day nor two, nor fiue dayes, neither ten, nor twentie
dayes:
20 But euen a moneth long, vntill it come out at the nostrels of you, and it
shalbe lothsome vnto you, because that ye haue cast the Lorde aside whiche is
among you, and haue wept before hym, saying: Why came we thus out of Egypt?
21 And Moyses sayde: Sixe hundred thousand footemen are there of the people,
among which I am: And thou hast sayd, I wyll geue them flesh, that they may eate
a moneth long.
22 Shall the sheepe & the oxen be slayne for them, to finde them? either
shall all the fishe of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffise them?
23 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Shall the Lordes hande be waxed short? Thou
shalt see now whether my word shal come to passe vnto thee or not.
24 And Moyses went out, and tolde the people the saying of the Lorde: and
gathered the threscore and ten elders of the people, and set them rounde about
the tabernacle.
25 And the Lord came downe in a cloude, and spake vnto him, and toke of the
spirite that was vpon him, and gaue it vnto the threscore & ten elders: And
when the spirite rested vpon them, they prophesied, and dyd not ceasse.
26 But there remayned two of the men in the hoast, the name of the one was Eldad,
and the name of the other Medad: And the spirite rested vpon them, (and thei
were of them that were written, and went not out vnto the tabernacle) and they
prophesied in the hoast.
27 And there ran a young man, and tolde Moyses, and sayd: Eldad and Medad do
prophesie in the hoast.
28 And Iosuah the sonne of Nun the seruaunt of Moyses, one of his young men
aunswered, and sayde: My lorde Moyses, forbyd them.
29 And Moyses sayd vnto hym: Enuiest thou for my sake? woulde God that all the
Lordes people could prophesie, and that the Lorde woulde put his spirite vpon
them.
30 And Moyses gate hym into the hoast, he and the elders of
Israel
.
31 And there went foorth a wynde from the Lorde, and brought quayles from the
sea, & let them fall about the hoast, euen a dayes iourney rounde about on
euery side of the hoast, and [they did flee in the ayre] as it were two cubites
hye ouer the earth.
32 And the people stoode vp all that day, and all that nyght, and all the next
day, and they gathered quayles: And he that gathered litle, gathered ten homers
ful: And they spread them abrode for their vse, rounde about the hoast.
33 And whyle the fleshe was yet betweene their teeth, & yer it was chewed vp,
the wrath of the Lorde was kindled against the people, & the Lorde smote the
people with an exceedyng great plague.
34 And he called the name of the place, The graues of lust: because the buried
the people that lusted there.
35 And the people toke their iourney from the graues of lust vnto Hazeroth, and
abode at Hazeroth.
CHAPTER
12
1 And Miriam and Aaron spake agaynst Moyses, because of the women of
Ethiopia
whiche he had taken: for he had take to wife one of
Ethiopia
.
2 And they sayde: Hath the Lorde in deede spoken onlye through Moyses? Hath he
not spoken also by vs? And the Lorde hearde it.
3 (But Moyses was a very meeke man, aboue all the men of the earth.)
4 And the Lorde spake at once vnto Moyses, vnto Aaron, and to Miriam: Come out
ye three vnto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they came out all three.
5 And the Lorde came downe in the pyller of the cloude, and stoode in the doore
of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they went out both of them.
6 And he sayde, Heare my wordes: If there be a prophete of the Lordes among you,
I wyll be knowen of him in a vision, and wyll speake vnto hym in a dreame.
7 My seruaunt Moyses is not so, which is faythfull in all myne house.
8 Unto hym wyll I speake mouth to mouth in a vision, not in darke speaches and
similitudes of the Lord shall he see: Wherfore then were ye not afrayde to
speake against my seruaunt Moyses?
9 And the Lord was moued vnto wrath agaynst them, and he went his way.
10 And the cloude departed from the tabernacle, and beholde Miriam was become
leprous, as it were snowe: And Aaron looked vpon Miriam, and beholde, she was
leprous.
11 And Aaron saide vnto Moyses: Alas my Lorde, I beseche thee put not the sinne
vpon vs whiche we haue foolishlye committed and sinned.
12 Oh, let her not be as one dead, of who the fleshe is halfe consumed when he
commeth out of his mothers whom.
13 And Moyses cryed vnto the Lorde, saying: Heale her nowe, O God, I beseche
thee.
14 And ye Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: If her father had spit in her face, should
she not be ashamed seue dayes? Let her be shut out of the hoast seuen dayes, and
after that, let her be receaued in againe.
15 And Miriam was shut out of the hoast seuen dayes: and the people remoued not,
tyll she was brought in agayne.
16 And afterwarde the people remoued from Hazeroth, and pitched in the
wyldernesse of Pharan.
CHAPTER
13
1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses saying:
2 Sende men out to searche the lande of Chanaan, whiche I geue vnto the chyldren
of Israel: of euery tribe of their fathers shall ye sende a man, and let them
all be suche as are rulers among them.
3 And Moyses at the commaundement of the Lorde, sent foorth out of the
wyldernesse of Pharan, suche men as were all heades of the chyldren of
Israel
.
4 [Their names are these. Of the tribe of Ruben, Sammua the sonne of Zacur.]
5 [Of the tribe of Simeon, Saphat the sonne of Hori. ]
6 [Of the tribe of Iuda, Caleb the sonne of Iephune. ]
7 [Of the tribe of Isachar, Igal the sonne of Ioseph. ]
8 [Of the tribe of Ephraim, Osea the sonne of Nun. ]
9 [Of the tribe of Beniamin, Palti the sonne of Raphu. ]
10 [Of the tribe of Zabulon, Gaddiel the sonne of Sodi. ]
11 [Of the tribe of Ioseph, namely of the tribe of Manasse, Gaddi the sonne of
Susi. ]
12 [Of the tribe of Dan, Amiel the sonne of Gemalli. ]
13 [Of the tribe of Aser, Sethur the sonne of Michael. ]
14 [Of the tribe of Nephthali, Nahabi the sonne of Uaphsi. ]
15 [Of the tribe of Gad, Guel the sonne of Machi. ]
16 These are the names of the men which Moyses sent to spie out the land: And
Moyses called the name of Osea the sonne of Nun, Iosuah.
17 And Moyses sent them foorth to spie out the lande of Chanaan, and said vnto
them: Get you vp this way southward, that ye may go vp into the hie countrey,
18 And see the lande what maner thing it is, and the people that dwelleth therin,
whether they be strong or weake, eyther fewe or many:
19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad, and what
maner of cities they be that they dwell in, whether they dwell in tentes or
walled townes:
20 And what maner of lande that is, whether it be fat or leane, and whether
there be trees therin or not. Be of good courage, and bryng of the fruite of the
lande: And it was about the tyme that grapes are first rype.
21 And so they went vp, and searched out the lande from the wildernesse of Zin,
vnto Rehob, as men come to Hemath.
Num 13:22 And they ascended vnto the south, and come vnto
Hebron
, where Ahiman was and Sesai, and Thalmai, the sonnes of Anac.
Hebron
was buylt seuen yeres before Zoan in
Egypt
.
23 And they came vnto the ryuer of Escol, and cut downe there a braunch with one
clouster of grapes, and twayne bare it vpon a staffe: and [they brought] also of
the pomgranates, and of the figges.
24 And the place was called the riuer Escol, because of ye cluster of grapes
whiche the children of
Israel
cut downe thence.
25 And they turned backe agayne from searching of ye lande after fourtie dayes.
26 And they went, and came to Moyses and Aaron, and vnto all the multitude of
the chyldren of
Israel
in the wyldernesse Pharan to Cades, and brought them worde, and also vnto all
the congregation, and shewed them the fruite of the lande.
27 And they tolde hym, and sayde: we came vnto the lande whyther thou sendedst
vs & surely it floweth with milke and hony, and here is of the fruite of it.
28 Neuerthelesse, the people be strong that dwell in the lande, and the cities
are walled and exceedyng great: and moreouer, we sawe the chyldren of Anac
there.
29 The Amalechites dwell in the south countrey: and the Hethites, and the
Iebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountaynes: & the Chanaanites dwell
by the sea, and by the coast of
Iordane
.
30 And Caleb stylled the people before Moyses, saying: Let vs go vp at once, and
possesse it, for we be able to ouercome it.
31 But the men that went vp with him, sayde: We be not able to go vp agaynst the
people, for they are stronger then we.
32 And they brought vp an euyll report of the lande whiche they had searched,
saying vnto the children of
Israel
: The lande whiche we haue gone through to searche it out, is a lande that
eateth vp the inhabitours therof, and the people that we sawe in it, are men of
a great stature.
33 And there we sawe also giauntes the chyldren of Anac [whiche come] of the
giauntes: And we seemed in our sight as it were grashoppers, and so we dyd in
their sight.
CHAPTER
14
1 And all the multitude of the people cried out, and wept throughout that nyght.
2 And all the chyldren of
Israel
murmured agaynst Moyses and Aaron, and the whole congregation sayde vnto them:
Woulde God that we had dyed in the lande of
Egypt
, either that we had dyed in this wyldernesse.
3 Wherfore hath the Lorde brought vs vnto this lande to fall vpon the sworde,
and that our wyues and our chyldren should be a pray? Were it not better that we
returne vnto
Egypt
agayne?
4 And they sayd one to another: Let vs make a captayne, and returne vnto
Egypt
agayne.
5 Then Moyses & Aaron fell on their faces before all the assemblie of the
congregation of the chyldren of
Israel
.
6 And Iosuah the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephune [whiche were] of
them that searched the lande, rent their clothes:
7 And spake vnto al the companie of the chyldren of
Israel
, saying: The lande whiche we walked through to searche it, is a very good lande.
8 If the Lord haue a loue to vs, he will bryng vs into this lande and geue it vs,
whiche is such a lande as floweth with mylke and hony.
9 But in any wyse rebell not ye agaynst the Lorde, neither feare the people of
the lande, for they are but bread for vs: Their shielde is departed from them,
and the Lorde is with vs, feare them not therfore.
10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones: And the glory of the
Lorde appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the chyldren of
Israel
.
11 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Howe long do this people prouoke me, and how
long wyll it be yer they beleue me, for all the signes which I haue shewed among
them?
12 I will smyte them with the pestilence and destroy them, and wyll make of thee
a greater nation and mightier then they.
13 And Moyses sayde vnto the Lorde: Then the Egyptians shall heare it, (for thou
broughtest this people in thy might from among them.)
14 And it wylbe tolde to the inhabiters of this lande also: for they haue hearde
lykewyse, that thou Lorde art among this people, and that thou Lorde art seene
face to face, and that thy cloude standeth ouer them, & that thou goest
before them by day tyme in a pyller of a cloude, and in a pyller of fire by
nyght.
15 If thou shalt kyll all this people as they were but one man: then the nations
whiche haue hearde the fame of thee, wyll say:
16 Because the Lord is not able to bryng in this people into the lande whiche he
sware vnto them, therefore he hath slaine them in the wyldernesse.
17 And nowe I beseche thee, let the power of my Lord be great, accordyng as thou
hast spoken, saying:
18 The Lorde is long yer he be angrie, and of great mercy, and suffreth
iniquitie and sinne, and leaueth no man innocent, and visiteth the
vnrighteousnesse of the fathers vpon the chyldren, in the thirde and fourth
generations.
19 Be mercyfull I beseche thee vnto the sinne of this people accordyng vnto thy
great mercy, as thou hast forgeuen this people from
Egypt
, euen vntyll nowe.
20 And the Lorde sayde: I haue forgeuen it, according to thy request.
21 But as truely as I liue, all the earth shalbe filled with the glory of the
Lord.
22 But all those men whiche haue seene my glory, and my miracles whiche I did in
Egypt and in the wildernesse, and haue tempted me nowe this ten tymes, and haue
not hearkened vnto my voyce:
23 Shall not see the lande whiche I sware vnto their fathers, neither shall any
of them that prouoked me see it.
24 But my seruaunt Caleb, because he had another maner of spirite, (and because
he hath folowed me vnto the vtmost) hym wyll I bryng into the lande which he
hath walked in, and his seede shall inherite it.
25 And also the Amalechites and Chanaanites, remayne in the valley: To morowe
turne you, and get you into the wyldernesse, euen by the way of the red sea.
26 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses and Aaron, saying:
27 Howe long doth this euyll multitude murmure agaynst me? I haue hearde the
murmuringes of the children of
Israel
with the whiche they murmure agaynst me.
28 Tell them therefore: As truely as I liue sayeth the Lorde, I wyll do vnto you
euen as ye haue spoken in myne eares:
29 Your carkasses shall fall in the wyldernesse: And all you that were tolde
throughout your numbers from twentie yeres and aboue, whiche haue murmured
against me,
30 Shall not come into the lande ouer which I lifted vp myne hand to make you
dwell therin, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, and Iosuah the sonne of Nun.
31 But your chyldren whiche ye sayde shoulde be a pray, them I wyll bryng in,
and they shall knowe the lande whiche ye haue refused.
32 And your carkasses shall fall in this wyldernesse.
33 And your chyldren shall wander in the wildernesse fourtie yeres, and suffer
for your whordome, vntyll your carkasses be wasted in the wyldernesse.
34 After the number of the dayes in whiche ye searched out the lande, euen
fourtie dayes, euery day for a yere shal ye beare your vnrighteousnesse, euen
fourtie yeres, and ye shall knowe my breache of promise.
35 I the Lorde haue sayde, that I wyll do it vnto all this euyll congregation
that are gathered together against me: For in this wildernesse they shalbe
consumed, and there they shall dye.
36 And the men whiche Moyses sent to searche the lande, and whiche (when they
came agayne) made all the people to murmure against hym, and brought vp a
sclaunder vpon the lande:
37 Euen those men that dyd bryng vp that sclaunder vpon it as though it had ben
euill, dyed in a great plague before the Lorde.
38 But Iosuah the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephune, whiche were of
the men that went to searche the lande, liued styll.
39 And Moyses tolde these sayinges vnto all the chyldren of
Israel
, and the people toke great sorowe.
40 And they rose vp early in the morning, and gate them vp into the toppe of the
mountayne, saying: lo, we be here, and wyll go vp vnto the place of which the
Lorde sayde: For we haue sinned.
41 And Moyses sayde: Wherfore transgresse ye thus the worde of the Lorde? it
wyll not come well to passe.
42 Go not vp therefore, for the Lorde is not among you: that ye be not slayne
before your enemies.
43 For the Amalechites and the Chanaanites are there before you, & ye wyll
fall vpon the sworde, because ye are turned away from the Lorde, & the Lorde
wyll not be with you.
44 But they presumed obstinatly to go vp into the hyll top: Neuerthelater, the
arke of the couenaunt of the Lorde and Moyses, departed not out of the hoast.
45 Then the Amalechites and the Chanaanites which dwelt in that hill, came downe,
and smote them, and consumed them euen anto Horma.
CHAPTER
15
1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them: when ye be come into
the lande of your habitations, whiche I geue vnto you:
3 And will make an offering by fire vnto the Lorde, namely a burnt offering, or
a sacrifice to fulfill a vowe, or a free offering, or in your principall feastes,
to make a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde, of the heard, or of the flocke:
4 Then let hym that offereth his offering vnto the Lord, bryng also a meate
offering of a tenth deale of floure, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of
oyle.
5 And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drinke offering shalt thou prepare
with the burnt offering, or any other offering, for one lambe.
6 Or if it be a ramme, thou shalt prepare for a meate offering two tenth deales
of floure, mingled with the thirde part of an hin of oyle.
7 And for a drinke offering, thou shalt offer the thirde part of an hin of wine,
for a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde.
8 And when thou preparest a bullocke for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice to
fulfill a vowe or peace offering vnto the Lorde:
9 Let him bring with a bullocke a meate offering of three tenth deales of floure,
mingled with halfe an hin of oyle.
10 And thou shalt bryng for a drinke offering, euen halfe an hin of wine, for an
offering made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde.
11 After this maner shall it be done for a bullocke, or for a ramme, or for a
lambe, or a kid,
12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to euery one,
accordyng to their number.
13 All that are borne of the countrey, shal do these thynges after this maner,
to offer an offering made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde.
14 And if a straunger soiourne with you, or whosoeuer be among you in your
generations, and wyll offer an offering made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the
Lorde: euen as ye do, so he shall do.
15 One ordinaunce shalbe both for you of the cogregation, and also for the
straunger that dwelleth [with you:] It shalbe an ordinaunce for euer in your
generations: as ye are, so shall the straunger be before the Lorde.
16 One lawe and one maner shall serue, both for you, and for the straunger that
soiourneth with you.
17 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
18 Speake vnto the chyldren of
Israel
, and say vnto them: When ye be come into the land to the which I bring you,
19 Then when ye wyll eate of the bread of the lande, ye shall offer vp an heaue
offering vnto the Lorde.
20 Ye shall offer vp a cake of the first of your dowe for an heaue offering: as
ye do the heaue offering of the barne, euen so ye shall heaue it.
21 Of the first of your dowe ye shall geue vnto the Lorde an heaue offering in
your generations.
22 And if ye haue erred, and obserue not all these commaundementes which the
Lorde hath spoken vnto Moyses,
23 Euen all that the Lorde hath commaunded you by the hande of Moyses, from the
[first] day that the Lorde commaunded Moyses, and hence forwarde among your
generations.
24 Yf ought be committed ignorauntly of the congregation, al the multitude shall
offer a bullocke for a burnt offering, to be a sweete sauour vnto the Lord, with
the meate offering and drinke offering therto accordyng to the maner, and an hee
goate for a sinne offering.
25 And the priest shall make an attonement for all the multitude of the chyldren
of
Israel
, and it shalbe forgeuen them, for it is ignoraunce: And they shal bryng their
offering, a sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord, & their sinne offering
before the Lorde for their ignoraunce.
26 And it shalbe forgeuen vnto all the congregation of the chyldren of
Israel
, and vnto the straunger that dwelleth among you, seyng all the people were in
ignoraunce.
27 If any one soule sinne through ignoraunce, he shall bryng a shee goate of a
yere olde for a sinne offering.
28 And the priest shall make an attonement for the soule that sinneth
ignorauntly, when he sinneth by ignoraunce before the Lorde to reconcile hym,
and that it may be forgeuen hym.
29 And both thou that art borne of the chyldren of
Israel
, and the strannger that dwelleth among you, shall haue one lawe who so doth
sinne thorowe ignoraunce.
30 But the soule that doth ought presumptuously, whether he be borne in the
lande or a straunger, the same blasphemeth the Lorde: and that soule shalbe cut
of from among his people.
31 Because he hath despised the worde of the Lorde, and hath broken his
commaundement, that soule therefore shalbe vtterly cut of, and his sinne shalbe
vppon hym.
32 And whyle the chyldre of
Israel
were in the wyldernesse, they founde a man that gathered stickes vpon the
Sabbath day.
33 And they that founde hym gathering stickes, brought hym vnto Moyses and
Aaron, and vnto all the congregation.
34 And they put hym in warde, seyng it was not declared what shoulde be done to
hym.
35 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Let the man dye, & let all the multitude
stone him with stones without ye hoast.
36 And all the multitude brought hym without the hoast, and stoned hym with
stones, and he dyed, as the Lorde commaunded Moyses.
37 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
38 Speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and byd them, that they make them fringes
in the borders of their garmentes throughout their generations, and put vpon the
fringe of the borders a ribande of blewe silke.
39 And the fringe shalbe vnto you to loke vpon, that ye may remember all the
comaundementes of the Lorde, and do them: and that ye seeke not after your owne
heart, or your owne eyes, after the which ye vse to go a whoryng.
40 But ye shall remember rather, and do all my commaundementes, and be holy vnto
your God.
41 I am the Lorde your God, which brought you out of the lande of
Egypt
, for to be your God: I am the Lorde your God.
CHAPTER
16
1 And Corah the sonne of Isaar, the sonne of Caath, the sonne of Leui, went a
part with Dathan and Abiram, the sonnes of Eliab, & On the sonne of Peleth,
the sonne of Ruben:
2 And they rose vp before Moyses, with certayne of the children of Israel, two
hundred & fiftie, which were captaynes of the multitude, famous in the
congregation, and men of renoune.
3 And they gathered them selues together agaynst Moyses and Aaron, and sayde
vnto them: Ye take much vpon you, seyng all the multitude are holy euery one of
them, and the Lorde is among them: Why lyft you your selues vp aboue the
congregation of the Lord?
4 And when Moyses hearde it, he fell vpon his face,
5 And spake vnto Corah and vnto all his company, saying: Tomorowe the Lord wyll
shewe who are his, who is holy, and who ought to approche nye vnto hym: and whom
he hath chosen, he will cause to come neare vnto hym.
6 This do therfore: Take you firepannes, both Corah & all his companie,
7 And do fire therin, and put incense in them before the Lorde to morowe: And
the man whom the Lorde doth chose, the same shalbe holy: Ye take much vpon you
ye sonnes of Leui.
8 And Moyses sayd vnto Corah: Heare I pray you, ye sonnes of Leui,
9 Seemeth it but a small thyng vnto you, that the God of Israel hath seperated
you from the multitude of Israel, and brought you to hym selfe, to do the
seruice of the tabernacle of the Lorde, and to stande before the multitude, and
to minister vnto them?
10 He hath taken thee to hym, and all thy brethren the sonnes of Leui with thee:
and seeke ye the office of the priest also?
11 For which cause both thou and all thy companie are gathered together against
the Lorde: And what is Aaron, that ye murmure agaynst hym?
12 And Moyses sent, and called Dathan and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab: which
sayde, We wyll not come vp.
13 Is it a small thyng, that thou hast brought vs out of the land that floweth
with mylke and honie, to kyll vs in the wildernesse: except thou make thy selfe
lorde and ruler ouer vs also?
14 Moreouer, thou hast not brought vs vnto a lande that floweth with mylke &
honie, neither geuen vs inheritaunce of fieldes and vineyardes: Wylt thou put
out the eyes of these men? We wyll not come vp.
15 And Moyses waxed very angry, and sayde vnto the Lorde, Turne not thou vnto
their offeryng: I haue not taken so much as an asse from them, neither haue I
hurt any of them.
16 And Moyses sayde vnto Corah: Be thou & al thy company before the Lord,
both thou, they, and Aaron, to morowe.
17 And take euery man his censer, and put incense in them, and bryng ye before
the Lorde euery man his censer, euen two hundreth and fiftie censers: thou also
and Aaron, euery one his censer.
18 And they toke euery man his censer, and put fire in them, and layde incense
theron, and stoode in the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation with
Moyses and Aaron.
19 And Corah gathered all the congregation agaynst them, vnto the doore of the
tabernacle of the congregation: And the glorie of the Lorde appeared vnto all
the congregation.
20 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses and Aaron, saying:
21 Seperate your selues from among this congregation, that I may consume them at
once.
22 And they fell vpon their faces, and sayde: O God, the God of spirites of all
fleshe, hath not one man sinned? Wilt thou be wroth with all the multitude?
23 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
24 Speake vnto the congregation, and say: Get you away from about the tabernacle
of Corah, Dathan, & Abiram.
25 And Moyses rose vp, and went vnto Dathan and Abiram: and the elders of
Israel
folowed hym.
26 And he spake vnto the congregation, saying: Depart I pray you from the tentes
of these wicked men, and touche nothyng of theirs, lest ye perishe in all their
sinnes.
27 And so they gate them from the tabernacle of Corah, Dathan, and Abiram, on
euery syde: And Dathan & Abiram came out, & stoode in the doore of their
tentes, with their wiues, their sonnes, and their litle children.
28 And Moyses sayde: Hereby ye shall knowe that the Lorde hath sent me to do all
these workes, for I haue not done them of myne owne mynde.
29 If these men dye the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the
visitation of all men, then the Lorde hath not sent me:
30 But and if the Lorde make a newe thyng, and the earth open her mouth, and
swallowe them vp with all that they haue, and they go downe quicke into the pit:
then ye shall vnderstande that these men haue prouoked ye Lorde.
31 And assoone as he had made an ende of speaking al these wordes, the ground
cloue asunder that was vnder them:
32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swalowed them vp, and their houses, and
all the men that were with Corah, and all their goodes.
33 And they and all that they had went downe alyue vnto the pit, and the earth
closed vpon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
34 And all
Israel
that were about them, fled at the crye of them: And they sayde, lest the earth
swalowe vs vp also.
35 And there came out a fire from the Lorde, and consumed the two hundred and
fiftie men that offered incense.
36 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
37 Speake vnto Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the priest, that he take vp the
censers out of the burnyng, and scatter the fire here and there, for they are
halowed,
38 The censers of these sinners agaynst their owne soules: let them make of them
brode plates for a coueryng of the aulter: For they offered them before the
Lorde, and therfore they are halowed, and they shalbe a signe vnto the children
of Israel.
39 And Eleazar the priest toke the brasen censers, which they that were burnt
had offered, and made brode plates for a coueryng of the aulter,
40 To be a remembraunce vnto the children of Israel, that no straunger which is
not of the seede of Aaron, come neare to offer incense before the Lorde, that he
be not lyke vnto Corah and his companie, as the Lorde sayde to hym by the hande
of Moyses.
41 But on the morowe, all the multitude of the children of
Israel
murmured agaynst Moyses and Aaron, saying: Ye haue kylled the people of the
Lorde.
42 And whe the multitude was gathered agaynst Moyses and Aaron, they loked
towarde the tabernacle of the congregation: And beholde, the cloude couered it,
and the glorie of the Lorde appeared.
43 And Moyses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
44 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
45 Get you from among this congregation, that I may consume the quickly. And
they fell vpon their faces.
46 And Moyses sayd vnto Aaron: Take a censer, and put fire therin out of the
aulter, and powre on incense, and go quickly vnto the congregation, & make
an attonement for them: For there is wrath gone out from the Lorde, and there is
a plague begunne.
47 And Aaron toke as Moyses comaunded hym, and ranne into the middes of ye
congregation: and beholde, the plague was begunne among the people, and he put
on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
48 And whe he stoode betweene the dead and them that were alyue, the plague was
stayed.
49 They that dyed in the plague, were fourteene thousand and seuen hundred,
besyde them that dyed about the conspiracie of Corah.
50 And Aaron went againe vnto Moyses before the doore of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the plague was stayed.
CHAPTER
17
1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
2 Speake vnto the children of
Israel
, and take of euery one of them a rodde, after the houses of their fathers, of
all their princes accordyng to the familie of their fathers, euen twelue roddes:
and write euery mans name vpon his rodde.
3 And write Aarons name vpon the rodde of Leui: for euery rodde shalbe for ye
head of the house of their fathers.
4 And put them in the tabernacle of the congregation, before [the arke] of the
testimonie, where I wyll declare my selfe vnto you.
5 And the mans rodde whom I chose, shall blossome: And I wyll make ceasse from
me the grudgynges of the children of
Israel
, wherby they grudge agaynst you.
6 And Moyses spake vnto the children of
Israel
, and all the princes gaue hym a rodde, one rodde for euery prince, accordyng to
their fathers houses, euen twelue roddes: and the rodde of Aaron was among their
roddes.
7 And Moyses put the roddes before the Lorde in the tabernacle of witnesse.
8 And on the morowe, Moyses went into the tabernacle of witnesse: and beholde,
the rodde of Aaron for the house of Leui was budded, and brought foorth buddes,
bare blossomes, and rype almondes.
9 And Moyses brought out all ye roddes from before the Lorde, vnto all the
children of
Israel
: and they loked vpon them, and toke euery man his rodde.
10 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Bryng Aarons rodde agayne before the
witnesse, to be kept for a token to the rebellious children, and that their
murmuryng may cease from me, and that they dye not.
11 And Moyses dyd as the Lorde commaunded hym, euen so dyd he.
12 And the children of
Israel
spake vnto Moyses, saying: Beholde, we are wasted away and perished, we all
come to naught.
13 Whosoeuer cometh nye, or approcheth to the tabernacle of the Lord, shall dye:
Shall we vtterly consume away, and dye?
CHAPTER
18
1 And the Lorde sayde vnto Aaron: Thou & thy sonnes, and thy fathers house
with thee, shal beare the iniquitie of the sanctuarie: And thou and thy sonnes
with thee, shall beare the iniquitie of your priestes office.
2 And thy brethren of the tribe of Leui, & of thy fathers householde thou
shalt bryng with thee, that they may be ioyned vnto thee, and minister vnto
thee: but thou and thy sonnes with thee [shal minister] before the tabernacle of
witnesse.
3 They shall kepe thy charge, euen the charge of all the tabernacle: only let
them not come nye the vessels of the sanctuarie and the aulter, that they and ye
also dye not.
4 And they shalbe ioyned with thee, and kepe the charge of the tabernacle of the
congregation for all the seruice of the tabernacle: and let no straunger come
nye vnto you.
5 Therfore shall ye kepe the charge of the sanctuarie, and the charge of the
aulter, that there fall no more wrath vpon the children of Israel:
6 Beholde, I haue taken your brethren the Leuites from among the children of
Israel, which as a gyft of yours are geuen vnto the Lorde, to do the seruice of
the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 Therfore shalt thou & thy sonnes with thee kepe your priestes office for
all thynges that pertayne vnto the aulter and within the vayle: And ye shal
serue, for I haue geue your priestes office vnto you as a gift, and therfore ye
straunger that commeth nye, must be slayne.
8 And the Lorde spake vnto Aaron: Beholde, I haue geuen thee the keping of myne
heaue offerynges, of all the halowed thynges of the children of
Israel
[euen] vnto thee I haue geuen the for the annoyntyng, and to thy sonnes for an
ordinaunce for euer.
9 This shalbe thyne of the most holy thynges [reserued] from the fire [of the
aulter.] All their sacrifices for all their meate offerynges, sinne offerynges,
or trespasse offerynges, which they bryng vnto me, that shalbe most holy vnto
thee, and to thy sonnes.
10 In the most holy place shalt thou eate it, and all that are males shall eate
of it, let it be holy vnto thee.
11 And this also is thyne: the heaue offerynges of their gyftes, throughout all
the waue offerynges of the children of
Israel
: I haue geuen them vnto thee, & thy sonnes and thy daughters with thee, to
be a dutie for euer: and all that are cleane in thy house, shall eate of it.
12 Al the fat of the oyle, & al the fat of the wine, & of the wheate,
which they shall offer vnto the Lorde for first fruites, the same haue I geuen
vnto thee.
13 And whatsoeuer is first rype in their lande which they bryng vnto the Lord,
shalbe thyne, and all that are cleane in thyne house, shall eate of it.
14 All thinges seperate from the common vse in
Israel
, shalbe thyne.
15 All that breaketh the matrice in all fleshe that men bryng vnto the Lorde,
whether it be of men or beastes, shalbe thyne: Neuerthelater, the first borne of
man shalt thou redeeme, & the first borne of vncleane beastes shalt thou
redeeme.
16 Those that are to be redeemed, shalt thou redeeme from ye age of a moneth,
accordyng to thyne estimation, for the money of fiue sicles, after the sicle of
the sanctuarie, which is twentie gerahs.
17 But the first borne of a cowe, sheepe, & goate, shalt thou not redeeme,
for they are holy: therfore thou shalt sprinckle their blood vpon the aulter,
and shalt burne their fat as a sacrifice made by fire, for a sweete sauour vnto
the Lord.
18 And the fleshe of them is thyne, as the waue
brest
and the right shoulder: these are thyne.
19 All the heaue offerynges of holy thynges which the children of
Israel
offer vnto the Lord, haue I geuen thee & thy sonnes and thy daughters with
thee, to be a duetie for euer: let it be a salted couenaut for euer before ye
Lord, both vnto thee, & to thy seede with thee.
20 And ye Lord spake vnto Aaron: Thou shalt haue no inheritauce in their lande,
neither shalt thou haue any part amog them: I am thy part & thy inheritaunce
among the children of
Israel
.
21 Beholde, I haue geuen the children of Leui all the tenth in
Israel
to inherite, for the seruice which they serue in the tabernacle of the
congregation.
22 Neither must the children of
Israel
hencefoorth come nie ye tabernacle of the congregation, lest they beare sinne,
& die.
23 But the Leuites shal do ye seruice in the tabernacle of the congregation,
& beare their sinne: It shalbe a lawe for euer in your generations, that
among ye childre of
Israel
they possesse no inheritaunce.
24 But the tithes of the childre of
Israel
which they pay as an heaue offeryng vnto the Lord, I haue geuen ye Leuites to
inherite: and therfore I haue sayde vnto them, Among the children of
Israel
ye shall possesse no inheritaunce.
25 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
26 Speake vnto the Leuites, and say vnto them: When ye take of the children of
Israel
the tithes which I haue geuen you of the for your inheritaunce, ye shal take an
heaue offering of ye same for the Lorde, euen the tenth part of that tithe.
27 And this your heaue offeryng shalbe reckened vnto you, euen as though it were
of the corne of the barne, or as the fulnesse of the wine presse.
28 Of this maner ye shall therfore offer an heaue offeryng vnto the Lorde, of
all your tithes which ye receaue of the children of
Israel
, and ye shall geue therof the Lordes heaue offeryng to Aaron the priest.
29 Of all your giftes ye shall offer all the Lordes heaue offeryng, euen all the
fat of the same, [to wit] the holy thynges therof.
30 Therfore thou shalt say vnto them: when ye haue taken away the fat of it from
it, it shalbe counted vnto the Leuites, as if it were ye increase of the corne
floore, or the increase of the winepresse.
31 And ye shall eate it in all places, both ye and your householdes, for it is
your rewarde for your seruice in the tabernacle of the congregation.
32 And ye shall beare no sinne by the reason of it, when ye haue offered from it
the fat of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy thynges of the children of
Israel
, lest ye dye.
CHAPTER
19
1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses & Aaron, saying:
2 This is the ordinaunce of the lawe which the Lord hath commaunded, saying:
Speake vnto the children of
Israel
that they bring thee a redde cowe without spot, and wherin is no blemishe, and
vpon which neuer came yoke.
3 And ye shall geue her vnto Eleazar the priest, that he may bryng her without
the hoast, and cause her to be slayne before his face:
4 And let Eleazar the priest take of her blood with his finger, and sprinckle it
directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seuen tymes.
5 And cause the cowe to be burnt in his sight, with her skinne, fleshe, &
blood: and the doung of her shal he burne also.
6 And let the priest take Cedar wood, and hysope, and scarlet [lase] and cast it
in the middes of the burnyng of the cowe.
7 Then let the priest washe his clothes, and he shall bathe his fleshe in water,
and then come into the hoast, and the priest shalbe vncleane vntyll the euen.
8 And he that burneth her shall washe his clothes in water, & bathe his
fleshe in water, and be vncleane vntyll euen.
9 And a man that is cleane, shall gather vp the asshes of the cowe, and lay them
without the hoast in a cleane place, and it shalbe kept for the multitude of the
children of
Israel
for a water of seperation: It is a sinne offeryng.
10 Therfore he that gathereth the asshes of the cowe, shall washe his clothes,
and remayne vncleane vntill euen: And it shalbe vnto the children of
Israel
, and vnto the strauger that dwelleth among them, a statute for euer.
11 He that toucheth the dead body of any man, shalbe vncleane seuen dayes.
12 And he shall purifie hym selfe with this water the thirde day, & the
seuenth day he shalbe cleane: But if he purifie not hym selfe the thirde day,
then the seuenth day he shall not be cleane.
13 Whosoeuer toucheth the dead coarse of any man that is dead, & purgeth not
hym selfe, defileth the tabernacle of the Lorde, and that soule shalbe cut of
from
Israel
, because the water of seperation was not sprinckled vpon hym: he shalbe
therfore vncleane, his vncleanesse is yet vpon hym.
14 This is the lawe of a man that dyeth in a tent: All that come into the tent,
and all that is in the tent, shalbe vncleane seuen dayes.
15 And all the vessels that be open, which haue no coueryng bounde vpon them,
shalbe vncleane.
16 And whosoeuer toucheth one that is slayne with a sworde in the fieldes, or a
dead person, or a bone of a dead man, or a graue, shalbe vncleane seuen dayes.
17 Therfore, for an vncleane person they shal take of the burnt asshes of the
sinne offeryng, and runnyng water shalbe put therto in a vessell.
18 And let a cleane person take hysope, & dippe it in the water, and
sprinckle it vpon the tent, and vpon all the vessels, and on the persons that
were therin, and vpon hym that touched a bone, or a slaine person, or a dead
body, or a graue.
19 And the cleane person shall sprinckle vpon the vncleane the thirde day and
the seuenth day: And the seuenth day he shall purifie hym selfe, and washe his
clothes, & bathe hym selfe in water, and shalbe cleane at euen.
20 But the man that is vncleane, and purifieth not him selfe, the same soule
shalbe cut of from among the congregation: because he hath defiled the
sanctuarie of the Lorde, and the water of seperation hath not ben sprinckled
vpon hym, therfore shall he remayne vncleane.
21 And it shalbe a perpetuall lawe vnto them, that he that sprinckleth the water
of seperation, shall washe his clothes: and he that toucheth the water of
seperation, shalbe vncleane vntyll euen.
22 And whatsoeuer the vncleane person toucheth, shalbe vncleane: And the soule
that toucheth [the thyng that was touched of the vncleane person] shalbe
vncleane vntyll euen.
CHAPTER
20
1 And the children of
Israel
came with the whole multitude into the
desert
of
Zin
in the first moneth, and the people abode at Cades: And there died Miriam, and
was buryed there.
2 But there was no water for the multitude: and they gathered them selues
together agaynst Moyses and Aaron.
3 And the people chode with Moyses, and spake, saying: Woulde God that we had
perished when our brethren dyed before the Lorde.
4 Why haue ye brought the congregation of the Lorde into this wildernesse, that
both we and our cattell shoulde dye in it?
5 Wherfore haue ye made vs to come vp out of
Egypt
, to bryng vs into this euyll place, which is no place of seede, nor of fygges,
nor vines, nor pomgranates, neither is there any water to drynke?
6 And Moyses and Aaron went from the presence of the congregation, vnto the
doore of the tabernacle of the congregation, and fel vpon their faces, and the
glorie of the Lorde appeared vnto them.
7 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
8 Take the rodde, and gather thou and thy brother Aaron the congregation
together, and speake vnto the rocke before their eyes, and it shall geue foorth
his water: And thou shalt bryng them water out of the rocke, to geue the
companie drynke, and their beastes also.
9 And Moyses toke the rodde from before the Lord, as he commaunded hym.
10 And Moyses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rocke, and
[Moyses] sayde vnto them: Heare ye rebelles, must we fetch you water out of this
rocke?
11 And Moyses lyft vp his hande, and with his rodde he smote the rocke two tymes,
and the water came out aboundauntly, and the multitude dranke, and their beastes
also.
12 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses and Aaron: Because ye beleued me not, to
sanctifie me in the eyes of the children of
Israel
, therfore ye shall not bryng this congregation into the lande which I haue
geuen them.
13 This is the water of strife, because the children of
Israel
stroue with ye Lorde, and he was sanctified in them.
14 And Moyses sent messengers from Cades vnto the kyng of
Edom
, thus sayeth thy brother
Israel
: Thou knowest all the trauayle that we haue had.
15 Our fathers went downe into
Egypt
, & we haue dwelt in
Egypt
a long tyme: and the Egyptians vexed vs and our fathers.
16 And when we cryed vnto the Lorde, he hearde our voyce, and sent an angell,
and hath set vs vp out of
Egypt
: And beholde, we are in Cades, euen in the vttermost citie of thy border.
17 Let vs passe I pray thee through thy countrey: but we wyll not go through the
fieldes or vineyardes, neither wyll we drynke of the water of the fountaynes: we
wyll go by the kynges hye way, and neither turne vnto the ryght hande nor to the
left, vntyll we be past thy borders.
18 And Edom aunswered hym: Thou shalt not go by me, lest I come out agaynst thee
with the sworde.
19 The children of
Israel
sayd vnto him, we wyll go by the beaten way: and if I and my cattell drynke of
thy water, I wyll pay for it: I wyll but only (without any harme) go through on
my feete.
20 He aunswered: Thou shalt not go through. And
Edom
came out agaynst hym with much people, and with a mightie power.
21 And thus
Edom
denied to geue
Israel
passage through his countrey: wherfore
Israel
turned away from hym.
22 And the children of
Israel
departed from Cades, and came vnto
mount
Hor
, with all the congregation.
23 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses and Aaron in
mount
Hor
, harde by the coast of the lande of
Edom
, saying.
24 Aaron shalbe gathered vnto his people: for he shall not come into the lande
which I haue geuen vnto the children of
Israel
, because ye disobeyed my mouth at the water of strife.
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his sonne, and bryng them vp into
mount
Hor.
26 And cause Aaron to put of his garmentes, and put them vpon Eleazar his sonne:
and Aaron shalbe gathered vnto his people, and shall dye there.
27 And Moyses dyd as the Lorde commaunded: and they went vp into
mount
Hor
, in the sight of all the multitude.
28 And Moyses toke of Aarons clothes, and put them vpon Eleazar his sonne, and
Aaron dyed there in the toppe of the mount: And Moyses and Eleazar came downe
out of the mount.
29 When all ye multitude sawe that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaro thirtie
dayes, all the housholde of
Israel

21
1 And when kyng
Arad
the Chananite which dwelt towarde the south, hearde tell that
Israel
came by the way that the spyes had founde out, he fought agaynst
Israel
, and toke some of them prisoners.
2 And
Israel
vowed a vowe vnto the Lorde, and sayde: If thou wylt deliuer this people into
my hande, I wyll vtterly destroy their cities.
3 And the Lorde hearde the voyce of
Israel
, and deliuered them the Chanaanites: And they destroyed them and their cities,
and called the name of the place Horma.
4 And they departed fro
mount
Hor
, by the way of the red sea, to compasse the lande of
Edom
: and the soule of the people was sore greeued, because of ye way.
5 And the people spake agaynst God and agaynst Moyses: wherefore haue ye brought
vs out of
Egypt
, for to dye in the wildernesse? for here is neither bread nor water, and our
soule lotheth this lyght bread.
6 Wherfore the Lorde sent fierie serpentes among the people, which stong them:
and much people of
Israel
dyed.
7 Therfore the people came to Moyses, & sayd: We haue sinned, for we haue
spoken agaynst the Lord and agaynst thee: make intercession to the Lord that he
take away the serpentes from vs. And Moyses made intercession for ye people:
8 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Make thee a fierie serpent, and set it vp
vpon a pole: that as many as are bitten may loke vpon it, and lyue.
9 And Moyses made a serpent of brasse, and set it vpon a pole: and when the
serpent had bitten any man, he behelde the serpent of brasse, and lyued.
10 And the children of
Israel
departed thence, and pitched in Oboth.
11 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched at the heapes of Abarim, euen in
the wildernesse which is before
Moab
, on the east syde.
12 And they remoued thence, and pitched vpon the riuer of Zared.
13 And they departed thence, and pitched on the other syde of Arnon, which is in
the wildernesse, and commeth out of the coastes of the Amorites: for Arnon is
the border of
Moab
, betweene
Moab
and the Amorites.
14 Wherfore, it shalbe spoken in the booke of the warres of the Lord, what thyng
he dyd in the red sea, and in the riuers of Arnon,
15 And at the streame of the riuers, that goeth downe to the dwellyng of Ar, and
lyeth vpon the border of
Moab
.
16 From thence [they returned] vnto Beer: The same is the well wherof the Lord
spake vnto Moyses: Gather the people together, and I will geue them water.
17 Then
Israel
sang this song: Spryng vp well, syng ye vnto it:
18 The princes digged this well, the captaynes of the people digged it with the
lawe geuer, and with their staues. And from the wildernesse they went to Mathana:
19 And from Mathana to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 And from Bamoth of the valley that is in the fielde of
Moab
, vnto the top of the hyll that loketh towarde Iesimon.
21 And
Israel
sent messengers vnto Sehon kyng of the Amorites, saying:
22 Let me passe through thy lande, we wyll not turne into the fieldes or
vineyardes, neither drynke of the waters of the well: but we wyll go along by
the kynges hye way, vntyll we be past thy countrey.
23 But Sehon woulde geue
Israel
no lisence to passe through his countrey: but gathered all his people together,
& went out agaynst
Israel
into the wildernesse: And he came to Iaza, and fought agaynst
Israel
.
24 And
Israel
smote him in the edge of the sworde, & conquered his lande from Arnon vnto
Iabok, vnto the children of Ammon: For the border of the children of Ammon was
strong.
25 And
Israel
toke all these cities, and dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites in Hesbon,
and in all the townes that long therto.
26 For Hesbon was the citie of Sehon the kyng of the Amorites, which fought
before agaynst ye kyng of the Moabites, and toke all his lande out of his hande,
euen vnto Arnon.
27 Wherfore they that speake in prouerbes, say: Come to Hesbon, and let the
citie of Sehon be built and repayred.
28 For there is a fire gone out of Hesbon, and a flambe from the citie of Sehon,
and hath consumed Ar in
Moab
, and the lordes of Bamoth in Arnon.
29 Wo to thee
Moab
, O people of Chamos ye are vndone: he hath suffered his sonnes to be pursued,
& his daughters to be in captiuitie vnto Sehon the kyng of the Amorites.
30 Their empire is lost from Hesbon vnto Dibon, and we made a wildernesse euen
vnto Nopha, which reacheth vnto Medaba.
31 And thus
Israel
dwelt in the lande of the Amorites.
32 And Moyses sent to searche out Iaezer, and they toke the townes belonging
therto, & rooted out the Amorites that were therein.
33 And they turned, and went vp towarde Basan: And Og the kyng of Basan came out
agaynst them, he and all his people to fight at Edrai.
34 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: feare hym not, for I haue deliuered hym into
thy hande, and all his people and his lande, and thou shalt do to him as thou
diddest vnto Schon the king of the Amorites whiche dwelt at Hesbon.
35 They smote hym therefore, and his sonnes, and all his people, vntyll there
was nothyng left hym, and they conquered his lande.
CHAPTER
22
1 And the children of
Israel
departed and pitched in the fieldes of
Moab
, on the other side of Iordane from Iericho.
2 And Balac the sonne of Ziphor, sawe all that
Israel
had done to ye Amorites.
3 And the Moabites were sore afrayde of the people, because they were many, and
they were stroken with feare of the chyldren of
Israel
.
4 And
Moab
sayde vnto the elders of Madian: Nowe shall this companie lycke vp all that are
rounde about vs, as an oxe licketh vp the grasse of ye fielde. And Balac the
sonne of Ziphor, was kyng of the Moabites at that tyme.
5 He sent messengers therefore vnto Balaam the sonne of Beor to Pethor, which is
by the riuer of the lande of the chyldren of his folke, to call him, saying:
Beholde, there is a people come out of Egypt, and beholde they couer the face of
the earth, & dwell ouer against me.
6 Come nowe therfore I pray thee, and curse me this people, for they are to
mightie for me, so peraduenture I myght be able to smyte them, & to driue
them out of the lande: For I wote that he whom thou blessest, is blessed, and
whom thou cursest is cursed.
7 And the elders of
Moab
, and the elders of Madian departed, hauyng the [rewarde] of the southsaying in
their hande: And they came vnto Balaam, and tolde hym the wordes of Balac.
8 He aunswered them: Tary here this nyght, and I wyll bryng you worde, euen as
the Lorde shall say vnto me. And the lordes of
Moab
abode with Balaam.
9 And God came vnto Balaam, and sayd: What men are these with thee?
10 And Balaam sayd vnto God: Balac the sonne of Ziphor kyng of Moab hath sent
vnto me [saying:]
11 Beholde, there is a people come out of Egypt, and couereth the face of the
earth: Come nowe therefore, and curse them for my sake, if so peraduenture I may
be able to ouercome them in battayle, and to dryue them out.
12 And God said vnto Balaam: Go not thou with them, neither curse the people:
for they are blessed.
13 And Balaam rose vp in the mornyng, and sayd vnto the lordes of Balac, Get you
vnto your lande: for the Lord wyll not suffer me to go with you.
14 And the lordes of
Moab
rose vp, and went vnto Balac and sayde: Balaam would not come with vs.
15 And Balac sent againe a greater companie of lordes, and more honourable then
they.
16 Whiche came to Balaam, and tolde hym, Thus sayeth Balac the sonne of Ziphor:
Oh let nothyng let thee, but come vnto me:
17 For I wyll greatly promote thee vnto great honour, and wyll do whatsoeuer
thou sayest vnto me: come I pray thee, curse this people for my sake.
18 And Balaam aunswered and said vnto the seruauntes of Balac: If Balac woulde
geue me his house full of syluer and golde, I can not go beyonde the worde of
the Lorde my God, to do lesse or more:
19 Nowe therefore I pray thee, tarie ye here this nyght, that I may wit what the
Lorde wyll say vnto me more.
20 And God came vnto Balaam by night, and sayde vnto hym: If the men come to
call thee, ryse vp and go with them: but loke what I say vnto thee, that shalt
thou do.
21 And Balaam rose vp early, and sadled his asse, & went with the lordes of
Moab
.
22 And the wrath of God was kindled, because he went: And the angell of the
Lorde stoode in the way to be agaynst hym, as he rode vpon his asse, and his two
seruauntes were with hym.
23 And when the asse sawe the angell of the Lord stand in the way, and hauyng
his sworde drawen in his hand, the asse turned aside out of the way, and went
out into the fielde: And Balaam smote the asse, to turne her into the way.
24 But the angell of the Lorde stoode in a path betweene the vineyardes, and
there was a wall on the one syde, and another on the other.
25 And when the asse sawe the angell of the Lorde, she thrust her selfe vnto the
wall, & crusht Balaams foote agaynst the wall: and he smote her agayne.
26 And the angell of the Lord went further, & stoode in a narowe place,
where was no way to turne either to the right hande, or to the left.
27 And when the asse sawe the angell of the Lorde, she fell downe vnder Balaam:
and Balaam was wroth, & smote the asse with a staffe.
28 And the Lorde opened the mouth of the asse, and she sayde vnto Balaam: What
haue I done vnto thee, that thou hast smytten me nowe three tymes?
29 And Balaam sayd vnto the asse, Because thou hast mocked me: I would also
there were a sworde in myne hande, for euen nowe woulde I kyll thee.
30 And the asse sayd vnto Balaam: Am not I thine asse, whiche thou hast rydden
vpon since the first tyme vnto this day? Was I euer wont to do so vnto thee? He
sayde, nay.
31 And the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the Lord
standing in the way, hauing his sworde drawen in his hande: He bowed hym selfe
therefore, and fell flat on his face.
32 And the angell of the Lorde said vnto him: Wherfore hast thou smytten thine
asse these three times? Beholde, I came out to withstande thee, because [thyne
heart] hath declined out of the way before me.
33 And the asse saw me, and turned from me now three times: or els if she had
not turned fro me, I had surely slayne thee, and saued her aliue.
34 Balaam sayde vnto the angell of the Lorde: I haue sinned, for I wyst not that
thou stoodest in the way agaynst me: Nowe therefore if it displease thee, I wyll
turne home agayne.
35 The angell of the Lorde sayde vnto Balaam, Go with the men: but what I say
vnto thee, that shalt thou speake. And so Balaam went with the lordes of Balac.
36 And when Balac heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meete hym, vnto a
citie of
Moab
, whiche is in the border of Arnon, eue in the vtmost coast.
37 And Balac sayd vnto Balaam: Dyd I not sende for thee to call thee? And
wherfore camest thou not vnto me: Am I not able in deede to promote thee vnto
honour?
38 And Balaam made aunswere vnto Balac, Lo, I am come vnto thee, and can I nowe
say any thyng at all? The worde that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I
speake.
39 And Balaam went with Balac, and they came vnto a citie of streates.
40 And Balac offered oxen and sheepe, and sent [thereof] to Balaam, and to the
lordes that were with hym.
41 And on the morowe Balac toke Balaam, and brought hym vp into the hye places
of Baal, that thence he might see the vtmost part of the people.
CHAPTER
23
1 And Balaam said vnto Balac: Buylde me here seuen aulters, & prepare me
here seuen oxen & seuen rammes.
2 And Balac dyd as Balaam sayde: And Balac and Balaam offred on euery aulter an
oxe and a ramme.
3 And Balaam said vnto Balac: Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go, if happly
the Lorde will meete me: and whatsoeuer he sheweth me, I wyll tell thee. And he
went vp hyer.
4 But God met Balaam, & [Balaam] sayd vnto hym: I haue prepared seuen
aulters, and haue offred vpon euery aulter an oxe and a ramme.
5 And the Lorde put a saying in Balaams mouth, and sayde: Go agayne to Balac,
and say on this wyse.
6 And when he went agayne vnto him, lo, he stoode by his burnt sacrifice, he and
all the lordes of
Moab
.
7 And he toke vp his parable, and sayd: Balac the king of
Moab
hath brought me fro Mesopotamia, out of the mountaynes of the east, [saying]
Come, curse Iacob for my sake, come and defie
Israel
.
8 Howe shall I curse hym, whom God hath not cursed? or howe shall I defie hym,
whom God hath not defied?
9 For from the toppe of the rockes I see hym, and from the hylles I beholde hym:
lo, the people shall dwell by them selues, and shal not be reckened among the
nations.
10 Who can tell the dust of Iacob, and the number of the fourth part of
Israel
? I pray God that my soule may dye the death of the righteous, and that my last
ende may be like his.
11 And Balac sayd vnto Balaam: What hast thou done vnto me? I toke thee to curse
myne enemies, and beholde thou hast blessed them altogether.
12 He aunswered and sayd: Must I not take heede to speake that whiche the lorde
hath put in my mouth?
13 And Balac sayde vnto hym: Come I pray thee with me vnto another place, whence
thou mayest see them, and thou shalt see but the vtmost part of them, and shalt
not see them all: curse them out of that place for my sake.
14 And he brought hym into a fielde, where men myght see farre of, euen to the
toppe of an hyll, and buylt seuen aulters, and offred an oxe and a ramme on
euery aulter.
15 And he said vnto Balac: Stande here by thy burnt sacrifice, whyle I meete
[the Lorde] yonder.
16 And the Lord met Balaam, and put a worde in his mouth, and sayd: Go agayne
vnto Balac, and say thus.
17 And when he came to hym, beholde he stoode by his burnt sacrifice, and the
lordes of
Moab
with hym. And Balac saide vnto hym: What hath the Lorde sayde?
18 And he toke vp his parable, and aunswered: Rise vp Balac, and heare, and
hearke vnto me thou sonne of Ziphor.
19 God is not a man that he should lye, neither the sonne of a ma that he should
repent: should he say & not do? or should he speake, and not make it good?
20 Beholde, I haue taken vpon me to blesse: for he hath blessed, and it is not
in my power to aulter it.
21 He behelde no vanitie in Iacob, nor saw transgression in
Israel
: The Lord his God is with hym, and the ioyfull shout of a king is among them.
22 God brought them out of
Egypt
, they haue strength as an Unicorne.
23 For there is no sorcerie in Iacob, nor soothsaying in
Israel
, according to this time it shalbe sayde of Iacob and
Israel
: What hath God wrought?
24 Beholde, the people shall ryse vp as a Lion, and heaue vp him self as a young
Lion: He shall not lye downe, vntyll he eate of the pray, and drinke the blood
of them that are slayne.
25 And Balac sayde vnto Balaam: Neither curse them, nor blesse them at all.
26 But Balaam aunswered and said vnto Balac: Tolde not I thee, saying, All that
ye Lorde speaketh, that I must do?
27 And Balac said vnto Balaam: Come I pray thee, and I wyll bryng thee yet vnto
another place, if at all it will please God, that thou mayst thence curse them
for my sake.
28 And Balac brought Balaam vnto the toppe of Peor, that looketh towarde Iesimon.
29 And Balaam said vnto Balac: Make me here seuen aulters, and prepare me here
seuen oxen, and seuen rammes.
30 And Balac dyd as Balaam had sayd, and offered an oxe and a ramme on euerie
aulter.
CHAPTER
24
1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lorde that he should blesse
Israel
, he went not as he dyd twise before to meete a soothsaying: but set his face
towarde the wyldernesse.
2 And Balaam lift vp his eyes, and loked vpon
Israel
as he lay accordyng to his tribes, and the spirite of God came vpon hym.
3 And he toke vp his parable and sayd: Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde, and
the man whose eyes is open hath sayde:
4 He hath sayde whiche heareth the wordes of God, and seeth the visions of the
almightie, and falleth downe with open eyes.
5 Howe goodly are thy tentes O Iacob, and thyne habitations O Israel?
6 Euen as the valleys are they layde abrode, & as gardens by the riuers
side, as the tentes whiche the Lorde hath pitched, and as cypres trees beside
the waters.
7 The water droppeth out of his bucket, & his seede shalbe in many waters,
and his king shalbe hier then Agag, and his kingdome shalbe exalted.
8 God brought hym out of
Egypt
, his strength is as the Unicorne: He shall eate the nations his enemies, &
gnawe their bones, and pearce them through with his arrowes.
9 He couched hym selfe, and lay downe as a Lion, and as an elder Lion: who shall
stirre hym vp? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth
thee.
10 And Balac was wroth with Balaam, and smote his handes together, and Balac
said vnto Balaam: I sent for thee to curse mine enemies, and behold thou hast
blessed them this three tymes.
11 Therfore nowe get thee quickly vnto thy place: I thought that I would promote
thee vnto honour, but lo the Lord hath kept thee backe from worship.
12 Balaam aunswered vnto Balac: Tolde I not thy messengers whiche thou sendedst
vnto me, saying:
13 If Balac woulde geue me his house full of siluer and golde, I can not passe
the word of the Lord, to do either good or bad of mine owne minde: But what the
Lorde sayeth, that wyll I speake.
14 And nowe behold, I go vnto my people: Come therfore, and I wyll aduertise
thee what this people shall do to thy folke in the latter dayes.
15 And he toke vp his parable and sayd: Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde, the
man whose eye is open, hath sayde:
16 He hath said that heareth the wordes of God, and hath the knowledge of the
most hygh, and beholdeth the vision of the almightie, and that falleth and his
eyes are opened.
17 I shall see him, but not nowe, I shall beholde him, but not nigh: There shall
come a starre of Iacob, and ryse a scepter of
Israel
, & shall smyte the coastes of
Moab
, and vndermine all the chyldren of Seth.
18 And
Edom
shalbe possessed, & Seir shall fall to the possession of their enemies, and
Israel
shall do manfully.
19 Out of Iacob shall come he that shall haue dominion, and shall destroy the
remnaunt of the citie.
20 And when he loked on Amaleck, he toke vp his parable, and said: Amaleck is
the first of the nations, but his latter ende shall perishe vtterly.
21 And he loked on the Kenites, and toke vp his parable, and sayde: Strong is
thy dwelling place, and thou puttest thy nest in a rocke.
22 Neuerthelesse, the Kenite shalbe rooted out, vntyll Assur take thee prisoner.
23 And he toke vp his parable, and sayd: Alas, who shall lyue when God doth
this?
24 The shippes also shall come out of the coast of
Chittim
, and subdue Assur, and subdue Eber, and he hym selfe shall perishe at the last.
25 And Balaam rose vp, and went and returned to his place: and Balac also went
his way.
CHAPTER
25
1 And
Israel
abode in Sittim, and the people began to commit whoredome with the daughters of
Moab
.
2 Whiche called the people vnto the sacrifice of their gods: And the people dyd
eate, and bowed downe to their gods.
3 And
Israel
coupled hym selfe vnto Baal Peor, and the indignation of the Lorde was kindeled
against
Israel
.
4 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Take all the heades of the people, and hang
them vp before the Lorde against the sunne, that the wrath of the Lordes
countenaunce may be turned away from
Israel
.
5 And Moyses sayde vnto the Iudges of Israel: Euery one slay his men that were
ioyned vnto Baal Peor.
6 And behold, one of the chyldren of
Israel
came & brought vnto his brethren a Madianitishe woman, euen in the sight of
Moyses, and in the sight of all the multitude of the children of
Israel
, that wept before the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 And when Phinehes the sonne of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the priest, saw it,
he rose vp out of the myddes of the companie, & toke a iauelin in his hande,
8 And went after the man of Israel into the tent, & thrust them through both
the man of Israel & also the woman, euen thorowe the belly of her: And the
plague ceassed fro the chyldre of Israel.
9 And there dyed in the plague twentie and foure thousande.
10 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
11 Phinehes the sonne of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the priest, hath turned myne
anger away from the chyldren of Israel, whyle he was zelous for my sake among
the, that I had not consumed the childre of Israel in my ielousie.
12 Wherfore say: beholde, I geue vnto hym my couenaunt of peace.
13 And he shall haue it, and his seede after hym, euen the couenaunt of the
priestes office for euer, because he was zelous for his Gods sake, and made an
attonement for the chyldren of
Israel
.
14 The name of the Israelite thus kylled, which was slayne with the Madianitishe
woman, was Zamri the sonne of Salu, a Lorde of an house and kinred of Simeon.
15 And the name of the Madianitishe woma that was slayne, was Cozbi, the
daughter of Zur, a head ouer the people of his fathers house in Madian.
16 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
17 Uexe the Madianites, & smyte them:
18 For they trouble you with their wyles, whiche haue begyled you by deceyte in
the cause of Peor, & in the cause of their sister Cozbi, the daughter of a
Lorde of the Madianites, whiche was slayne in the day of the plague for Peors
sake.
CHAPTER
26
1 And after the plague, the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, and vnto Eleazar the sonne
of Aaron the priest, saying:
2 Take the number of al the multitude of the chyldren of Israel, from twentie
yeres old and aboue, throughout their fathers houses, all that are able to go to
warre in Israel.
3 And Moyses and Eleazar the priest spake vnto them in the fieldes of
Moab
, by Iordan [ouer against] Iericho, saying:
4 [Ye shall number the people] From twentie yeres & aboue, as the Lorde
commaunded Moyses and the children of
Israel

CHAPTER
27
1 Then came the daughters of Zalphaad the sonne of Hepher, the sonne of
Gilead
, the sonne of Machir, the sonne of Manasse, of the kinred of Manasse the sonne
of Ioseph: whose names were Maala, Noha, Hagla, Melcha and Thirza.
2 And stode before Moyses and Eleazar the priest, and before the lordes, and all
the multitude by the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying:
3 Our father dyed in the wyldernesse, and was not in the company of them that
gathered them selues together agaynst the Lorde in the congregation of Corah:
but dyed in his owne sinne, and had no sonnes.
4 Wherefore then is the name of our father taken away from among his kinred,
because he hath no sonne? Geue vnto vs therefore a possession among the brethren
of our father.
5 And Moyses brought their cause before the Lorde.
6 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying.
7 The daughters of Zalphaad speake ryght: thou shalt geue them a possession to
inherite among their fathers brethren, and shalt turne the inheritaunce of their
father vnto them.
8 And thou shalt speake vnto the chyldren of
Israel
, saying: If a man dye and haue no sonne, ye shall turne his inheritaunce vnto
his daughter.
9 If he haue no daughter, ye shall geue his inheritaunce vnto his brethren.
10 If he haue also no brethren, ye shall geue his inheritaunce vnto his fathers
brethren.
11 And if his father haue no brethren, ye shall geue his inheritaunce vnto hym
that is next to him of his kinred, and he shall possesse it: And this shalbe
vnto the chyldren of
Israel
a lawe of iudgement, as the Lorde hath commaunded Moyses.
12 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Get thee vp into this
mount
Abarim
, and beholde the lande whiche I haue geuen vnto the chyldren of
Israel
:
13 And whe thou hast seene it, thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people also, as
Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14 For ye were disobedient vnto my mouth in the
desert
of
Zin
, in the stryfe of the congregation, neither dyd ye sanctifie me in the waters
before their eyes: That is, the water of stryfe in Cades in the wyldernesse of
Zin.
15 And Moyses spake vnto the Lorde, saying:
16 Let the Lord God of the spirites of all fleshe set a man ouer ye
congregation,
17 Which may go out & in before them, and leade them out and in, that the
congregation of the Lord be not as sheepe which haue not a sheephearde.
18 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Take thee Iosuah the sonne of Nun, a man in
whom is the spirite, and put thyne handes vpon hym,
19 And set hym before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation: and
geue hym a charge in their sight.
20 And put of thy prayse vpon him, that all the companie of the children of
Israel
may be obedient.
21 And he shall stande before Eleazar the priest, which shall aske counsell for
hym after the iudgement of Urim, before the Lorde: And accordyng vnto his worde,
shall they go out and in, both he and all the children of
Israel
with him, and all the congregation.
22 And Moyses dyd as the Lorde commaunded him: and he toke Iosuah, and set hym
before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
23 And put his handes vpon hym, and gaue hym a charge, as the Lorde commaunded
through the hand of Moyses.
CHAPTER

3 And thou shalt say vnto them: This is the offeryng made by fire, which ye

4 One lambe shalt thou prepare in the mornyng, and the other at euen.
5 And therto the tenth part of an Epha of floure for a meate offeryng, mingled

7 And let the drinke offering of the same be the fourth part of an Hin for one

40 And Moyses tolde the children of
Israel
, all that the Lord comaunded him.
CHAPTER
30
1 And Moyses spake vnto the heades of the tribes concernyng the children of
Israel
, saying: This is the thyng which the Lorde hath commaunded.
2 If a man vowe vnto the Lorde, or sweare an othe to bynde his soule: he shall
not go backe with his worde, but shall fulfyll all that is proceeded out of his
mouth.
3 If a woman also vowe a vowe vnto the Lorde, & bynde her selfe being in her
fathers house in the tyme of her youth:
4 And her father heare her vowe and bonde which she hath made vpon her soule,
& holde his peace therto: then all her vowes and bondes which she hath made
vpo her soule, shal stande in effect.
5 But and if her father disalowe her the same day that he heareth al her vowes
and bondes which she hath made vpon her soule: they shall not be of value, and
the Lorde shall forgeue her, because her father disalowed her.
6 If she had an husbande, when she vowed or pronounced ought out of her lippes,
wherwith she bounde her soule:
7 And her husbande hearde it, and helde his peace therat the same day he hearde
it: then her vowes shall stande, and her bondes wherwith she bounde her soule,
shall stande in effect.
8 And if her husbande disalowe her the same day that he hearde it, then he shall
make her vowe which she hath vpon her, and the openyng of her lippes wherwith
she bounde her soule, of none effect, and the Lorde shall forgeue her.
9 But euery vowe of a widowe, and of her that is deuorsed, that they haue bounde
their soule withall, shall stande in effect with them.
10 If she vowed in her husbandes house, or bounde her soule with an othe:
11 And her husbande hearde it, and helde his peace concernyng her, &
disalowed her not: then all her vowes shal stande, and euery bonde wherwith she
bounde her soule, shall stande.
12 But if her husbande disanulled them the same day yt he hearde them: then
nothyng that proceedeth out of her lippes in vowes and bondes wherwith she
bounde her soule, shall stande in effect: for her husbande hath disanulled them,
and the Lorde shall forgeue her.
13 All vowes and othes that binde to humble the soule, may her husbande
stablishe or breake.
14 But if her husbande holde his peace from one day to another, then he
stablissheth all her vowes & bondes which she had vpon her: he confirmeth
them, because he helde his peace concernyng her the same day that he hearde
them.
15 But if he breake them, after that he hath hearde them, he shall beare her
sinne hym selfe.
16 These are the ordinaunces which the Lord commaunded Moyses betweene a man and
his wyfe, and betweene the father and his daughter, beyng yet a damsell in her
fathers house.
CHAPTER
31
1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
2 Auenge the children of
Israel
of the Madianites, & afterwarde shalt thou be gathered vnto thy people.
3 And Moyses spake vnto the folke, saying: Harnesse some of you vnto warre, and
let them go vpon the Madianites, & auenge the Lorde of the Madianites.
4 Of euery tribe a thousande, throughout all the tribes of
Israel
, shal ye sende to the warre.
5 And there were deliuered out of the thousandes of
Israel
, twelue thousand prepared vnto warre, of euery tribe a thousande.
6 And Moyses sent the to ye warre, euen a thousande of euery tribe, & with
them Phinees the sonne of Eleazar the priest to the warre, and the holy vessels,
& the trumpets to blowe were in his hande.
7 And they warred agaynst the Madianites as the Lord comaunded Moyses, and slue
all the males.
8 And they slue the kynges of Madian among other that were slayne: Namelye, Eui,
and Rekem, Zur, & Hur, and Reba: fiue kynges of Madian, with Balaam the
sonne of Beor, whom they slue with the sworde.
9 And the children of
Israel
toke all the women of Madian prisoners, and their children, and spoyled all
their cattel, and all their flockes, and all their goodes.
10 And they burnt all their cities wherin they dwelt, and all their goodly
dwellynges, with fire:
11 And they toke all the spoyle, and all the bootie, both of men and beastes.
12 And they brought the captiues, and that which they had taken, and the spoyle,
vnto Moyses and Eleazar the priest, and vnto the companie of the children of
Israel, euen vnto the hoast that were in the fieldes of Moab by Iordane, ouer
agaynst Iericho:
13 And Moyses and Eleazar the priest, and all the lordes of the congregation,
went out of the hoast to meete them.
14 And Moyses was angrie with the officers of the hoast, with the captaynes ouer
thousandes, and ouer hundredes, which came from the warre & battayle.
15 And Moyses sayde vnto them: Haue ye saued all the women alyue?
16 Beholde, these caused the children of
Israel
through the councel of Balaam, to commit trespasse agaynst the Lorde in the
businesse of Peor, and there folowed a plague among the congregation of the
Lorde.
17 Nowe therfore, slay all the men children, and kyl the women that haue lien
with men fleshly.
18 But all the women children that haue not lien with men carnally, kepe alyue
for your selues.
19 And ye shall remayne without the hoast seuen dayes, all that haue kylled any
person, and all that haue touched any dead body, and purifie both your selues
and your prisoners the thirde day and the seuenth.
20 And purifie all your raymentes, and that is made of skinnes, and all worke of
goates heere, and all thinges made of wood.
21 And Eleazar the priest sayde vnto the men of warre which went to the battayle:
This is the ordinauce of the lawe which the Lorde comaunded Moyses:
22 As for golde, siluer, brasse, and iron, tinne, and lead,
23 And all that may abide the fire, ye shal make it go through the fire, and it
shalbe cleane: Neuerthelesse, it shalbe purified with water of seperation: And
all that suffereth not the fire, ye shall make go through the water:
24 And washe your clothes the seuenth day, and ye shalbe cleane, and afterwarde
come into the hoast.
25 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
26 Take the summe of the pray that was taken, both of the persons and of cattell,
thou and Eleazar the priest, and the chiefe fathers of the congregation:
27 And deuide the pray into two partes, betweene them that toke the warre vpon
them and went out to battayle, and all the congregation.
28 And take a tribute vnto the Lorde of the men of warre which went out to
battayle: one soule of fiue hundred, both of the persons, and of the beefes, and
of the asses, and of the sheepe.
29 And ye shall take it of their halfe, and geue it vnto Eleazar the priest, as
an heaue offeryng of the Lorde.
30 And of the halfe of the children of
Israel
, thou shalt take one portion of fiftie, of the persons, and of the beefes, of
the asses, and of the sheepe, and of al maner of beastes, and geue them vnto the
Leuites which wayte vpon the charge of the tabernacle of the Lorde.
31 And Moyses and Eleazar the priest, dyd as the Lorde comaunded Moyses.
32 And the bootie, and the rest of the pray which the men of warre had caught,
was sixe hundred thousande, and three sore and fifteene thousande sheepe,
33 And three score and twelue thousande of beefes,
34 And three score & one thousande asses,
35 And thirtie & two thousande persons in all, of women that had lyen by no
man.
36 And the halfe, which was the part of them that went out to warre, was in
number three hundred thousande, and seuen and thirtie thousande, & fiue
hundred, sheepe.
37 And the Lordes part of the sheepe, was sixe hundred & threescore &
fifteene.
38 And the beefes were thirtie and sixe thousande, of which the Lordes part was
threescore and twelue.
39 And the asses were thirtie thousande and fiue hundred, of which the Lordes

40 And the persons were sixteene thousande, of which the Lordes part was thirtie

41 And Moyses gaue the tribute, which was the Lordes heaue offeryng, vnto
Eleazar the priest, as the Lorde commaunded Moyses:
42 And the other halfe of the children of Israel which Moyses deuided from the
men of warre,
43 [That is to wit] the halfe that pertayned vnto the congregation, was three
hundred thousande, and thirtie & seuen thousande, and fiue hundred, sheepe:
44 And thirtie and sixe thousande beefes:
45 And thirtie thousande asses, and fiue hundred:
46 And sixteene thousande persons.
47 And Moyses toke of the halfe that pertayned vnto the children of
Israel
, one portion of fiftie, both of the persons and of the cattell, and gaue them
vnto the Leuites which wayted vpon the charge of the tabernacle of the Lorde, as
the Lorde commaundded Moyses.
48 And the officers of thousandes of the hoast, ye captaynes ouer the thousandes,
and the captaynes ouer the hundredes, came foorth,
49 And sayde vnto Moyses: Thy seruauntes haue taken the summe of the men of
warre which are vnder our aucthoritie, and there lacketh not one man of vs:
50 We haue therfore brought a present vnto the Lord what euery man found, of
iewels of golde, bracelets, chaynes, rynges, eare rynges, and spangles, to make
an attonement for our soules before the Lorde.
51 And Moyses and Eleazar the priest, toke the golde of them, all the wrought
iewels.
52 And all the golde of the heaue offering that they heaued vp to the Lorde, of
the captaynes ouer thousandes & hundredes, was sixteene thousande, seuen
hundred and fiftie sicles.
53 (For the men of warre had spoyled, euery man for hym selfe.)
54 And Moyses and Eleazar the priest toke the golde of the captaynes ouer the
thousandes & hundredes, and brought it into the tabernacle of the
congregation, for a memoriall of the children of
Israel
before the Lorde.
CHAPTER
32
1 The childre of Ruben & the chidren of Gad had an exeeding great multitude
of cattell: And when they sawe the lande of Iazer, & the lande of Gilead,
that it was an apt place for cattell,
2 The children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, came & spake vnto Moyses
and Eleazar the priest, and vnto the lordes of the congregation, saying:
3 The lande of Ataroth & Dibon, Iazer and Nenrah, Hesbon and Elealeh, Sabam,
and Nebo, and Beon:
4 Which countrey the Lorde smote before the congregation of Israel, is a lande
meete for cattell, and we thy seruauntes haue cattell.
5 Wherfore said they: If we haue found grace in thy sight, let this lande be
geue vnto thy seruauntes to possesse, & bryng vs not ouer Iordane.
6 And Moyses sayde vnto the children of Gad and of Ruben: Shall your brethren go
to warre, and ye shall sit here?
7 Wherfore discourage ye the heart of the children of
Israel
, that they shoulde not go ouer into the lande which the Lorde hath geuen them?
8 Thus dyd your fathers when I sent them from Cades Brnea to see ye lande.
9 For when they went vp euen vnto the riuer of Eschol, and sawe the lande, they
discouraged the heart of the children of
Israel
, that they should not go into the lande which the Lord hath geue them.
10 And the Lordes wrath was kindled the same tyme, and he sware, saying:
11 None of the men that came out of Egypt, fro twentie yeres olde & aboue,
shall see the lande which I sware vnto Abraham, Isaac, and Iacob, because they
haue not wholly folowed me:
12 Saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune the Kenesite, and Iosuah the sonne of Nun:
for they haue constantly folowed the Lorde.
13 And the Lorde was verie angry with
Israel
, and made them wander in the wildernesse fourtie yeres, vntyll all the
generation that had done euyll in the sight of the Lorde, were consumed.
14 And beholde, ye are rysen vp in your fathers steade, as an increase of
sinfull men, to augment the fierce wrath of the Lorde towarde
Israel
:
15 For if ye turne away from after hym, he wyll yet agayne leaue the people in
the wildernesse, and ye shall destroy all this folke.
16 And they went neare hym, and sayde: We wyll builde sheepe foldes here for our
sheepe & for our cattell, and [walled] cities for our children:
17 But we our selues wyl go redy armed before the children of Israel, vntyll we
haue brought them vnto their place: And our children shall dwell in the fensed
cities, because of the inhabiters of the lande.
18 We wyll not returne vnto our houses, vntyll the children of
Israel
haue inherited, euery man his inheritaunce:
19 Neither wyll we inherite with them on yonder side Iordane forwarde, because
our inheritaunce is fallen to vs on this side Iordane eastwarde.
20 And Moyses sayde vnto them: If ye wyll do this thyng, and go harnessed before
the Lorde to warre,
21 And will go all of you in harnesse ouer Iordane before the Lord, vntil he
haue cast out his enemies from his sight,
22 And vntyll the lande be subdued before the Lorde: then ye shall returne, and
be without sinne before the Lorde and before Israel, and this lande shalbe your
possession before the Lorde.
23 But and if ye wyll not do so, beholde, ye haue sinned agaynst the Lorde: and
be sure your sinne wyll finde you out.
24 Nowe therfore, builde cities for your children, and foldes for your sheepe,
and do that ye haue spoken.
25 The children of Gad, and the children of Ruben, spake vnto Moyses, saying:
Thy seruauntes wyll do as my Lorde commaundeth.
26 Our children, our wyues, our sheepe, and our cattell, shall remayne here in
the cities of
Gilead
:
27 But thy seruauntes wyll go all harnessed for the warre, and vnto battayle
before the Lorde, as my Lorde sayth.
28 And for their sakes, Moyses commaunded Eleazar the priest, & Iosuah the
sonne of Nun, and the chiefe fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel,
29 And Moyses sayde vnto them: If the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben
wyl go with you ouer Iordane, all armed, to fyght before the Lorde, then when
the lande is subdued before you, ye shall geue them the lande of Gilead to
possesse:
30 But and if they wyll not go ouer with you in harnesse, they shall haue their
possessions among you in the lande of Chanaan.
31 And the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben, aunswered, saying: As the
Lorde hath sayde vnto thy seruauntes, so wyll we do:
32 We wyll go harnessed before ye Lorde into the lande of Chanaan, that the
possession of our inheritaunce may be geuen vs on this side Iordane.
33 And Moyses gaue vnto the children of Gad, and to the children of Ruben, and
vnto halfe the tribe of Manasse the sonne of Ioseph, the kyngdome of Sehon kyng
of the Amorites, and the kyngdome of Og kyng of Basan, the lande with the cities
therof, in ye coastes and cities of the countrey rounde about.
34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 And Atoth, Sophan, Iaaser, and Iogbea,
36 Bethnimra, and Betharan, fensed cities: & they built foldes for the
sheepe.
37 And the children of Ruben built Hesbon, Eleale, Kiriathaim,
38 Nebo, Baalmeon, and turned their names, and Sibama also: and gaue other names
vnto the cities which they builded.
39 And the children of Machir the sonne of Manasse went to
Gilead
and toke it, and put out the Amorites that dwelt therin.
40 And Moyses gaue
Gilead
vnto Mathir the sonne of Manasse, and he dwelt therin.
41 And Iair the sonne of Manasse went and toke the smal townes therof, and
called them Hauoth Iair.
42 And Nobah went and toke Kenath, and the townes longyng therto, and called it
Nobah, after his owne name.
CHAPTER

commaundement of the Lorde: euen these are the iourneis of their goyng out.
3 They departed from Rameses the fifteene day of the first moneth, on the morowe

15 And they departed from Raphidim, & pitched in the wildernesse of Sinai.
16 And they remoued from the desert of Sinai, & pitched at the graues of

35 And they departed from Abrona, and lay at Ezeon gaber.
36 And they remoued from Ezeon gaber, and pitched in the wyldernesse of Sin,
whiche is Cades.
37 And they remoued from Cades, and pitched in
mount
Hor
, whiche is in the edge of the lande of
Edom
.
38 And Aaron the priest went vp into mount Hor at the commaundement of the Lorde,
and dyed there, euen in the fourteeth yere after the chyldren of Israel were
come out of ye lande of Egypt, and in the first day of the fifth moneth.
39 And Aaron was an hundred and twentie and three yeres olde when he dyed in
mount Hor.
40 And king Erad the Chanaanite (which dwelt in the south in the lande of
Chanaan) heard of the comming of the children of Israel:
41 And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmona.
42 And they departed from Zalmona, and pitched in Phunon.
43 And they departed from Phunon, and pitched in Oboth.
44 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Iim abarim, in the border of
Moab
.
45 And they departed from Iim abarim, and pitched in Dibon Gad.
46 And they remoued from Dibon Gad, and lay in Almon Diblathaim.
47 And they remoued from Almon Diblathaim, and pitched in the mountaines of

of
Moab
, fast by Iordane [ouer against] Iericho.
49 And they pitched by Iordane, from Beth Iesimoth, vnto the playne of Sittim in
the fieldes of
Moab
.
50 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses in the fielde of Moab by Iordane [ouer
agaynst] Iericho, saying:
51 Speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and say vnto them: When ye are come ouer
Iordane [to enter] into the lande of Chanaan,
52 Ye shall dryue out all the inhabiters of the lande before you, and destroy
all their pictures, & breake a sunder al their images of mettall, and plucke
downe all their hye places.
53 And possesse the lande, and dwell therin: for I haue geuen you the lande to
enioy it.
54 And ye shall deuide the inheritaunce of the land by lot among your kinredes,
and geue to the moe, the more inheritounce, and to the fewer, the lesse
inheritaunce: And your inheritaunce shalbe in the tribes of your fathers, euery
mans inheritaunce in the place where his lot falleth.
55 But and if ye wyll not dryue out the inhabiters of the lande before you, then
those whiche ye let remayne of them, shalbe prickes in your eyes, and dartes in
your sides, and shall vexe you in the lande wherein ye dwell.
56 Moreouer, it wyll come to passe, that I shall do vnto you, as I thought to do
vnto them.
CHAPTER
34
1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
2 Commaunde the children of
Israel
, and say vnto them: When ye come into the lande of Chanaan, this is the lande
that shall fall vnto your inheritaunce, [euen] the lande of Chanaan with her
coastes.
3 And your south quarter shalbe from the wyldernesse Zin, along by the coast of
Edom
, so that your south quarter reache vpon the syde of the salt sea eastwarde.
4 And fet a compasse from the south vp to Acrabim, and Recahe to Zinna: And go
out fro the south to Cades Barnea, and go out also to Hazar Adar, and go along
to Azmon.
5 And fet a compasse agayne from Azmon, vnto the riuer of
Egypt
, and shall go out at the sea.
6 And let your west quarter be the great sea, let the same sea be your west
coast.
7 And this shalbe your north quarter: ye shall compasse your border from the
great sea, vnto mount Hor.
8 And from mount Hor, ye shall describe your border, tyll it come vnto Hemath,
& the end of the coast shalbe at Zedada.
9 And the coast shall reache out to Ziphron, and go out at Hazar Enan: This
shalbe your north quarter.
10 And ye shall describe your east quarter from Hazar Enan to Sepham.
11 And the coast shall go downe from Sepham to Ribla on the east syde of Ain:
And the same border shall descend and go out at the side of the
sea
of
Cenereth
eastwarde.
12 And then go downe along by Iordane, and leaue at the salt sea: And this
shalbe your land, with the coastes therof rounde about.
13 And Moyses commaunded the chyldren of
Israel
, saying: This is the land which ye shal inherite by lot, and which the Lorde
commaunded to geue vnto nine tribes and an halfe.
14 For the tribe of the chyldren of Ruben, according to the housholdes of their
fathers, and the tribe of the chyldren of Gad accordyng to their fathers
householdes, and halfe the tribe of Manasse, haue receaued their inheritaunce.
15 Two tribes and an halfe haue receaued their inheritaunce on the other side of
Iordane, ouer agaynst Iericho eastwarde.
16 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
17 These are the names of the men which shall deuide the lande vnto you: Eleazar
the priest, and Iosuah the sonne of Nun.
18 And ye shall take also a Lorde of euery tribe, when ye deuide the lande.
19 The names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Iuda, Caleb the sonne of
Iephune.
20 Of the tribe of the chyldren of Simeon, Semuel the sonne of Amiud.
21 Of the tribe of Beniamin, Elidad the sonne of Cislon.
22 Of the tribe of the chyldren of Dan, the lorde Bucki, the sonne of Iogli.
23 From among the chyldren of Ioseph, for the tribe of the chyldren of Manasse,
the lorde Haniel, the sonne of Ephod.
24 Of the tribe of the childre of Ephraim, the lorde Camuel the sonne of Siphtan.
25 Of the tribe of the sonnes of Zabulon, the lorde Elisaphan the sonne of
Pharnach.
26 Of the tribe of the chyldren of Isachar, the lorde Palthiel the sonne of Asan.
27 Of the tribe of the sonnes of Aser, the lorde Ahihud the sonne of Salomi.
28 Of the tribe of the chyldren of Nephthali, the lorde Pedael, the sonne of
Ammihud.
29 These are they whom the Lord commaunded to deuide the inheritaunce vnthe
chyldren of
Israel
in the lande of Chanaan.
CHAPTER
35
1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses in the fieldes of
Moab
by Iordane ouer against Iericho, saying:
2 Commaunde ye chyldren of
Israel
, that they geue vnto the Leuites of the inheritaunce of their possession,
cities to dwell in: And ye shal geue also vnto the cities of the Leuites,
suburbes harde by their cities rounde about them.
3 The cities shall they haue to dwell in, and the suburbes for their cattell,
and for their possession, & al maner of beastes of theirs.
4 And the suburbes of the cities whiche ye shall geue vnto the Leuites, shall
reache from the wall of the citie outwarde, a thousande cubites rounde about.
5 And ye shall measure without the citie of the east syde, two thousande cubites:
and of the south syde, two thousande cubites: and of the west side, two thousand
cubites: and of the north side, two thousande cubites also, and the citie shalbe
in the middes: and these shalbe the suburbes of their cities.
6 And from among the cities whiche ye shall geue vnto the Leuites, there shal be
sixe cities for refuge, whiche ye shall appoynt [to that intent] that he whiche
kylleth, may flee thyther: And to them ye shall adde fourtie and two cities mo.
7 So that all the cities whiche ye shall geue the Leuites, may be fourtie and
eyght, them [shall ye geue] with their suburbes.
8 And these cities whiche ye shall geue, shalbe 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 shal geue of his cities vnto the Leuites, accordyng to the
inheritaunce whiche he inheriteth.
9 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:
10 Speake vnto the chyldren of
Israel
, and say vnto them: When ye be come ouer Iordane into the lande of Chanaan:
11 Ye shall appoint you cities, to be cities of refuge for you: that he whiche
sleeth a person vnwares, may flee thyther.
12 And these cities shalbe vnto you a refuge from the auenger of blood: that he
which killeth, dye not, vntill he stand before the congregation in iudgement.
13 And of these cities which ye shal geue, sixe cities shall ye haue for refuge.
14 Ye shal geue three on this side Iordane, and three in the
land
of
Chanaan
, whiche shalbe cities of refuge.
15 And these sixe cities shalbe a refuge, both for the chyldren of
Israel
, and for the straunger, & for hym that dwelleth among you: that all they
whiche kyll any person vnwares, may flee thyther.
16 And if any man smyte another with an instrument of iron that he dye, then is
he a murtherer, and the murtherer shall dye for it.
17 If he smyte hym with throwyng a stone, that a man may dye with, and if he
dye, he that smote hym is a murtherer: let the same murtherer be slayne
therefore.
18 Or if he smyte hym with a handweapon of wood that a man may dye with, then if
he dye, he is a murtherer: let the same murtherer be slaine therfore.
19 The reuenger of blood him selfe shal slay the murtherer: when he meeteth hym,
he shall slay hym.
20 But if he thrust hym of hate, or hurle at hym by laying of wayte, that he
dye,
21 Or smyte hym with his hande of enmitie that he dye: he that smote hym shall
dye the death, for he is a murtherer: the reuenger of the blood shall slay the
murtherer when he meeteth hym.
22 But if he pusshed hym vnaduisedly, and not of hate, or cast vpon hym any
thing, and not in laying of wayte,
23 Or any maner of stone that a man may dye with, and saw him not, and he caused
it to fall vpon hym, and he dye, and was not his enemie, neither sought hym any
harme:
24 Then the congregation shal iudge betweene the slayer and the reuenger of
blood, according to these lawes.
25 And the congregation shall deliuer the slayer out of the hande of the
reuenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore hym to the citie of his
refuge, whyther he was fled: and he shal abide there vnto the death of the hye
priest, whiche was annoynted with the holy oyle.
26 But if the slayer come without the borders of his citie of refuge, whyther he
was fled:
27 And the reuenger of blood finde hym without the borders of the citie of his
refuge, and the reuenger of blood kyll the slayer, he shalbe gyltlesse:
28 Because he shoulde haue bydden in the towne of his refuge vntill the death of
the hye priest; and after the death of the hye priest, the slayer should returne
vnto the lande of his possession.
29 So these thynges shalbe a lawe of iudgement vnto you, throughout your
generations, in al your dwellinges.
30 Whoso kylleth any person, the [Iudge] shall put the murtherer to death
thorowe wytnesses: but one wytnesse shall not testifie agaynst any person, to
cause hym to dye.
31 Moreouer, ye shal take no recompence for the lyfe of the murtherer whiche is
worthy to dye: but he shalbe put to death.
32 And ye shall take no recompence for him that is fled to the citie of his
refuge, that he shoulde come againe and dwell in the lande before the death of
the hye priest.
33 So ye shall not pollute the lande whiche ye shall dwell in, for blood
defileth the lande: and the lande can not be clensed of the blood that is shed
therin, but by the blood of hym that shed blood.
34 Defile not therefore the lande whiche ye shal inhabite, for I am in the
middes therof: [euen] I the Lord dwell among the chyldren of
Israel
.
CHAPTER
36
1 And the chiefe fathers of the families of the chyldren of Geliad, the sonne of
Machir, the sonne of Manasse, of the kinred of the sonnes of Ioseph, came foorth
and spake before Moyses, and before the princes the chiefe fathers of the
chyldren of Israel,
2 And sayd: The Lorde commaunded my Lorde to geue the land to inherite by lot to
the chyldren of Israel: and my Lorde was commaunded by the Lord, to geue the
inheritaunce of Zelaphead our brother, vnto his daughters.
3 If they be maryed to any of ye sonnes of the other tribes of the chyldren of
Israel
, then shall their inheritaunce be taken from the inheritaunce of our fathers,
and shalbe put to the inheritaunce of the tribe which they are receaued into,
and so shal it be taken from the lot of our inheritaunce.
4 And when the Iubilee of the children of
Israel
commeth, then shall their inheritaunce be put vnto the inheritaunce of the
tribe wherinto they are receaued, and so shall their inheritaunce be taken away
from the inheritaunce of the tribe of our fathers.
5 And Moyses commaunded the chyldren of
Israel
, according to the worde of the Lorde, saying: The tribe of the sonnes of Ioseph
haue sayd well.
6 This therefore doth the Lorde commaunde the daughters of Zelaphead, saying:
Let them be wyues, to whom they them selues thinke best: only to the familie of
the tribe of their father shall they marry.
7 So shall not the inheritaunce of the children of
Israel
remoue from tribe to tribe: for euery one of the chyldren of
Israel
shall ioyne hym selfe to the inheritaunce of the tribe of his fathers.
8 And euery daughter that possesseth any inheritaunce in any tribe of the
chyldre of
Israel
, shalbe wyfe vnto one of the kinred of the tribe of her father, that the
chyldren of
Israel
may enioy euery man the inheritaunce of his father.
9 Neither ought the inheritaunce to go from one tribe to another: but euery one
of the tribes of the chyldren of
Israel
shalbe ioyned to his owne inheritaunce.
10 And as the Lord commaunded Moyses, euen so dyd the daughters of Zelaphead:
11 For Mahela, Thirza, Hagla, Milcha, and Noa the daughters of Zelaphead, were
maryed vnto their fathers brothers sonnes.
12 They were wyues vnto the families of the sonnes of Manasse the sonne of
Ioseph, and so their inheritaunce remayned in the tribe of the kinred of their
father.
13 These are the comaundementes and lawes whiche the Lorde commaunded by the
hande of Moyses vnto the chyldren of
Israel
, in the fieldes of Moab, by Iordane [towarde] Iericho.
