Then all the children of Leui gathered them selues vnto him, 27 and he sayde vnto them: Thus sayeth the LORDE the God of Israel: Euery man put his swerde by his syde, and go thorow in and out from one gate to another in the hoost, and slaye euery man his brother, frende, & neghboure. 28 The children of Leui dyd, as Moses sayde vnto them. And there fell of the people the same daye thre thousande men. 29 The sayde Moses: Cosecrate youre handes this daie vnto the LORDE, euery man vpon his sonne and brother, that the prayse maye be geuen ouer you this daye.
