Thys shalbe your northquarter. ¹⁰ And ye shall compasse your eastquarter from Hazarenan to Sepham. ¹¹ And the coast shall go downe from Sepham to Ribla on the east syde of Ain. And the same border shall descende and go out at the syde of the see of Cenereth eastwarde. ¹² And then go downe alonge by Iordane, & leaue at the salt see. And thys shalbe your lande with the coastes therof rounde aboute.

¹⁶ But in the fourth generacyon they shall come hyther againe, for the wickednesse of the Amorites ys not yet full.

¹⁸ In that same daye the Lorde made a couenaunte wt Abram sayinge: vnto thy seed haue I geuen thys lande, from the ryuer of Egypt, euen vnto the great ryuer the ryuer of Euphrates,

⁷ Moreouer I will make my bonde betwene me and the, and thy seed after the in theyr generacyons, by an euerlastynge testament, that I maye be God vnto the and to thy seed after the. ⁸ And I wyll geue vnto the and to thy seed after the, the lande where in thou art a straunger: Euen all the lande of Canaan, for an euerlastynge possessyon, and wyll be their God.

¹⁶ and sayde: by my selfe haue I sworne (sayth the Lorde) because thou hast done thys thynge and hast not spared thy onely sonne: ¹⁷ that in blessynge I wyll blesse the, and in multiplienge I wyll multiplie thy seed as the starres of heauen & as the sande which is vpon the see syde.

³ soiourne in thys lande, and I wyll be wyth the, and wyll blesse the: for vnto the and vnto thy sede I wyll geue all these contreys. And I wyll performe the oothe which I swore vnto Abraham thy father, ⁴ and wyll multiplye thy seed as the starres of heauen, and wyll geue vnto thy seed all these contreys. And in thy seed shall all the nacyons of the erth be blessed,

¹³ yce and God stode vpon it, and sayde. I am the Lorde God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isahac: The lande whyche thou slepest vpon wyll I geue the and thy seed. ¹⁴ And thy seed shall be as the dust of the erth: and thou shalt spreade abrode to the west, to the east, to the north and to the south. And thorowe the and in thy seed shall all the kynredes of the erth be blessed.

¹⁸ Thou both weryest thy selfe, and thys people that is wt the: for thys thynge is of more weyght, then thou art able to perfourme thy selfe alone.

¹¹ And Moses sayde vnto the Lord: wherfore hast thou dealt cruelly with thy seruaunt? And wherfore haue I not found fauour in thy syght, seyng that thou puttest the weyght of all this people vpon me? ¹² haue I conceaued all thys people? Or haue I begotten them:? hat thou shuldest saye vnto me? carie them in they bosome (as a nurse beareth the suckynge chylde) vnto the lande, which thou swarest vnto their fathers? ¹³ where shulde I haue fleshe, to geue vnto all thys people, which wepe before me, saying: geue vs flesh that we maye eate? ¹⁴ I am not able to beare all thys people alone, seying it is to heuy for me.

¹⁷ And I will come downe, and talke with the there, and take of the sprete which is vpon the, and put vpon them, and they shall beare the burthen of the people with the, lest thou be constrayned to beare it alone.

⁵ And he brought him out & sayde: loke vp vnto heauen, and tell the starres, yf thou be able to nombre them. And he sayde vnto him Euen so shall thy seed be.

¹⁷ that in blessynge I wyll blesse the, and in multiplienge I wyll multiplie thy seed as the starres of heauen & as the sande which is vpon the see syde. And thy seed shall possesse the gate of hys enemies.

¹⁴ And thy seed shall be as the dust of the erth: and thou shalt spreade abrode to the west, to the east, to the north and to the south. And thorowe the and in thy seed shall all the kynredes of the erth be blessed.

¹³ Remembre Abraham, Isaac and Israel thy seruauntes, to whom thou swareste by thyne awne selfe, and saydeste vnto them: I wyll multiplye your seede as the starres of heuen, and all this lande that I haue spoken of, wyll I geue vnto your seed: and they shall enheret it for euer.

⁴⁶ drewe all vnto the summe of syxe hundred thousande and thre thousande, fyue hundred and fyftye.

²³ But Dauid toke not the nombre of them vnder .xx. yere: because the Lord sayd he wold encrease Israel lyke vnto the starres of the skye.

²³ And their chyldren multiplyedst thou as the starres of heauen, and broughtest them into the lande, wherof thou haddest spoken vnto theyr fathers, that they shulde go into it, and haue it in possessyon.

⁴ and wyll multiplye thy seed as the starres of heauen, and wyll geue vnto thy seed all these contreys. And in thy seed shall all the nacyons of the erth be blessed,

²⁵ From thy fathers God which hath helped the, and with the almyghtye which hath blessed the wyth blessynges from heauen aboue, wyth blessynges of the depe that lyeth vnder, and wyth blessynges of the brestes and of the wombe.

²⁷ And they shall put my name vpon the chyldren of Israel, and I wyll blesse them.

¹² And God sayde vnto Balaam: Go not thou with them, nether curse the people, for they are blessed.

³ And Ioab sayde vnto the kynge: I beseche the Lorde thy God, to make the people as many moo as they be: ye and an hundred tymes so many mo, and that the eyes of my Lorde the kynge maye se them. And what is the cause that my Lorde the kynge hath a lust to this thinge?

³ And Ioab answered: the Lorde make hys people an hundred tymes so manye mo as they be. But my Lorde O king, are they not all my Lordes seruauntes? why then doth my Lorde requyre thys thynge? why wyll my Lorde be a cause of trespace to Israel?

¹⁴ The Lorde shall encrease you more and more: you, & youre children.

¹³ And it chaunced on the morow, that Moses satt to iudge the people, and the people stode aboute Moses from mornynge vnto euen. ¹⁴ And whan Moses father in lawe sawe all that he did vnto the people, he sayd: what is thys that thou doest vnto the people? why syttest thou thy selfe alone, and all the people stonde aboute the from mornynge vnto euen? ¹⁵ And Moses sayde vnto hys father in lawe: because the people come vnto me to seke councell of God. ¹⁶ When they haue a matter, they come vnto me, and I iudge betwene euery man and hys neyghboure, and shewe them the ordynaunces of God and hys lawes.

¹¹ And Moses sayde vnto the Lord: wherfore hast thou dealt cruelly with thy seruaunt? And wherfore haue I not found fauour in thy syght, seyng that thou puttest the weyght of all this people vpon me? ¹² haue I conceaued all thys people? Or haue I begotten them:? hat thou shuldest saye vnto me? carie them in they bosome (as a nurse beareth the suckynge chylde) vnto the lande, which thou swarest vnto their fathers? ¹³ where shulde I haue fleshe, to geue vnto all thys people, which wepe before me, saying: geue vs flesh that we maye eate? ¹⁴ I am not able to beare all thys people alone, seying it is to heuy for me. ¹⁵ If thou deale thus with me, kyll me, I praye the, yf I haue founde fauour in thy syght, that I se not my wrechednes.

⁹ And I spake vnto you the same ceason sayinge: I am not able to beare you my selfe alone.

⁷ And nowe, O Lord my God, it is thou that hast made thy seruaunt kynge in steade of Dauid my father, And I am but yonge, and wote not howe to go out and in. ⁸ And thy seruaunt is in the myddes of thy people, which thou haste chosen. And verely, the people are so manye, that they cannot be tolde nor nombred for multitude. ⁹ Geue therfore vnto thy seruaunt an vnderstandynge hert, to iudge thy people, that I maye decerne betwene good and bad. For who is able to iudge thys, thy so myghtye a people?

¹⁹ For the Lord is oure defence, The holy one of Israel is oure kynge.

¹⁶ To the one parte are we the sauour of deeth vnto deeth. And vnto the other part are we the sauour of lyfe vnto lyfe. And who is mete vnto these thinges?

⁵ not that we are sufficient of oure selues to thynke eny thyng, as of our selues: but yf we be able vnto any thinge the same commeth of God,

²¹ Morouer thou shalt seke oute amonge all the people, men of actiuite, and such as feare God: true men, hatynge coueteousnes: and make them heedes ouer the people, captaynes ouer thousandes, ouer hundredes, ouer fyftye and ouer ten.

¹⁶ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses, gather vnto me .lxx. men of the elders of Israel, which thou knowest, that they are the elders of the people and officers ouer them: and thou shalt bryng them vnto the tabernacle of witnesse, that they maye stande there with the: ¹⁷ And I will come downe, and talke with the there, and take of the sprete which is vpon the, and put vpon them, and they shall beare the burthen of the people with the, lest thou be constrayned to beare it alone.

²¹ Wherfore of these men which haue companyed with vs (all the tyme that the Lorde Iesus had all hys conuersacyon amonge vs, ²² begynnynge at the baptyme of Iohn, vnto that same daye that he was taken vp from vs) must one be ordeyned, to be a witnes with vs of hys resurreccyon. ²³ And they apoynted two, Ioseph which is called Barsabas (whose syr name was Iustus) and Mathias,

² Then the twelue called the multitude of the disciples together and sayde, it is not mete, that we shuld leaue the worde of God: and serue tables. ³ Wherfore brethren, loke ye out amonge you seuen men of honeste report, and full of the holy ghost and wisdom, to whom we maye committe this busynes. ⁴ But we wyll geue oure selues continually to prayer, and to the ministracyon of the worde. ⁵ And the sayinge pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Steuen a man full of faith and of the holy ghost, and Philip, and Procorus, and Nichanor, and Timon, and Permenas, and Nicolas a conuert of Antioche. ⁶ These they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they layde theyr handes on them.

²⁵ and chose actyue men oute of all Israel and made them as heedes ouer the people: namely, captaynes ouer thousandes, ouer hundredes, ouerfyfty and ouerten. ²⁶ And they iudged the people at all seasons, but broughte the harde causes vnto Moses: and iudged all small matters them selues.

¹⁴ And Moses was angrye with the officers of the hoost, with the captaynes ouer thousandes and ouer hundredes, which came from the warre and battayll:

¹⁸ Iudges and offycers shalt thou make the in all thy cyties, whych the Lorde thy God geueth the thorowe out thy trybes: and they shall iudge the people ryghteously.

¹² and will make him of them, captaynes ouer thousandes and ouer fiftyes, and wyll set them to eare his grounde, and to gather in his heruest, and to make instrumentes of warre, and apparell for his charettes.

¹⁸ And carye these ten freshe cheses vnto the captayne, & loke howe thy brethren fare, and fett out their pledge.

⁷ And Saul sayde vnto his seruauntes that stode about him. Heare I praye you you sonnes of Iemini: will the sonne of Isai geue euery one of you feldes and vineardes, & make you all captaynes ouer thousandes & ouer hundredes?

¹¹ And the very same made some Apostles, some Prophetes, some Euangelistes, some Shepherdes and Teachers:

²¹ Uexe not a straunger, nether oppresse hym: for ye were straungers in the lande of Egypt.

² Thou shalt not folowe a multitude to do euell: nether answere in a matter of plee that thou woldest (to folowe many) turne asyde from the trueth, ³ nether shalt thou paynte a poore mans cause.

⁷ Kepe the ferre from a false mater, and the Innocent & ryghteous se thou sley not, for I will not iustifye the wyked. ⁸ Thou shalt take no gyftes, for gyftes blynde the seynge, and peruerte the wordes of the ryghteous. ⁹ Thou shalt not oppresse a straunger, for ye knowe the herte of a straunger, seinge ye were straungers in the londe of Egypte.

¹⁵ Ye shall doo no vnryghteousnes in iudgement. Thou shalt not fauoure the poore nor honoure the myghtye, but in ryghteousnes shalt thou iudge thy neyghboure.

²² Ye shall haue one maner of lawe: euen for the straunger as well as for one of youre selues, for I am the Lorde youre God.

¹⁹ & set hym before Eleazar the preast, and before all the congregacyon: and geue hym a charge in theyr syght.

¹⁸ He doeth ryght vnto the fatherlesse & wedowe, and loueth the straunger, to geue hym fode and rayment. ¹⁹ Loue ye therfore the straunger also: for ye were straungers youre selues in the lande of Egypte.

¹⁸ Iudges and offycers shalt thou make the in all thy cyties, whych the Lorde thy God geueth the thorowe out thy trybes: and they shall iudge the people ryghteously. ¹⁹ Wrest not thou the lawe, nor knowe any persone, nether take any rewarde: for gyftes blynde the wyse, & peruerte the wordes of the ryghteous.

¹⁴ Thou shalt not defraude an hyred seruaunte that is nedye and poore, whether he be of thy brethen, or of the straungers that are in thy lande with in thy gates.

¹¹ And Moses charged the people the same daye, sayinge:

¹⁴ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: Beholde thy dayes are come, that thou must dye. Call Iosua therfore, and stande ye in the tabernacle of wytnesse, that I maye geue hym a charge. And Moses and Iosua went, and stode in the tabernacle of wytnesse:

³ The God of Israel spake of me, euen the most myghtie of Israel, sayde: he that beareth rule ouer men, ought to rule iustlye in the feare of God.

⁶ & sayde to the iudges: take hede what ye do, for ye execute not the iudgmentes of man, but of God, which is wt you in the iudgement. ⁷ Wherfore nowe, let the feare of the Lorde be vpon you, and take hede, & be doyng the thynge that pleaseth hym. For ther is no vnryghtewesnes wt the Lord oure God: that he shulde haue any respecte of persones, or take rewardes. ⁸ Moreouer, in Ierusalem dyd Iehosaphat set of the leuites, and of the prestes and of the auncient fathers ouer Israel, in the iudgement & cause of the Lord. And they returned agayne to Ierusalem. ⁹ And he charged them saying: Thus shall ye do in the feare of the Lorde, wt the trueth & a pure herte: ¹⁰ What cause soeuer come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cyties, betwene bloud & bloud, betwene law and commaundment, betwene statutes & ordynaunces, ye shall warne them, that they trespace not agaynst the Lorde, & so wrath come vpon you & on youre brethren. Thus do, & ye shall not offende.

¹ To the chaunter Destroye not. The badge or armes of Dauid. Are your myndes sett vpon ryghteousnes, O ye congregacyon? and do ye iudge the thyng that is right O ye sonnes of men?

²⁴ Iudge not after the vtter aperaunce, but iudge with a ryghtewes iudgement.

¹¹ as ye knowe, how that we bare soch affeccyon vnto euery one of you, as a father doth vnto chyldren, exhortynge, confortyng, and besechyng you,

²¹ I testifye before God and the Lord Iesus Christ & the electe angels, that thou obserue these thynges without hastynesse of iudgement, & do nothinge parcially.

¹⁷ Charge them which are ryche in this world, that they be not hye mynded, ner trust in vncertayne ryches, but in the lyuinge God (which geueth vs aboundauntly all thynges to enioye them)

²² And let them iudge the people at all seasons. And euery greate matter that happeneth, let them bringe vnto the, but let them iudge all small causes them selues, and so shall it be easyer for thy selfe, and they shall bere with the.

²⁶ And they iudged the people at all seasons, but broughte the harde causes vnto Moses: and iudged all small matters them selues.

⁶ Thou shalt not bynder the ryghte of thy poore, in theyr sute. ⁷ Kepe the ferre from a false mater, and the Innocent & ryghteous se thou sley not, for I will not iustifye the wyked.

¹⁷ For the Lorde your God, is God of Goddes, and Lorde of Lordes, a greate God, a myghtye and a terrible whych regardeth no mans person nor taketh gyfte:

¹⁹ Wrest not thou the lawe, nor knowe any persone, nether take any rewarde: for gyftes blynde the wyse, & peruerte the wordes of the ryghteous.

⁸ If there ryse a matter to harde for the in iudgement betwene bloud and bloud, betwene plee and plee, betwene plage and plage, and the matters come to stryfe wythin thy gates, Then shalt thou aryse, and get the vp vnto the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen, ⁹ and come vnto the preastes the Leuites, and vnto the iudge that shalbe in those dayes, and aske and they shall shewe the the sentence of iudgement. ¹⁰ And thou must do accordynge to that, whych they of that place (which the Lorde had chosen) shewe the and thou shalt obserue to do, accordynge to all that they enfourme the.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not hynder the ryght of the straunger nor of the fatherlesse, nor take a wedowes rayment to pledge.

³ Beholde, here I am: beare recorde of me before the Lorde and before hys anoynted: Whose oxe haue I taken? or whose Asse haue I taken? whom haue I done wrong to? Whom haue I hurt? Or of whose hande haue I receaued any brybe, to blynde myne eyes therwyth? & I wyll restore it you agayne. ⁴ They sayde: thou hast done vs no wronge, nor hurt vs, nether hast thou taken ought of any mannes hande.

⁷ But the Lorde sayde vnto Samuel: loke not on his fashyon, or on the heyght of hys stature, because I haue refused hym: for God seyth not as man seyth. For man loketh on the outwarde apperaunce but God beholdeth the harte.

¹⁴ For we must nedes dye, & perysh as water spylt on the grounde, which cannot be geathered vp agayne: Neither doth God spare any soule. Let the kynge therfore fynde the meanes, that hys banysshed be not vtterly expelled from hym.

⁸ And so she wrote a letter in Ahabs name, and sealed it wyth hys seale and sent the lettre vnto the elders and to the nobles that were in hys cytye dwellinge wyth Naboth. ⁹ And she wrote in the letter, sayenge: proclayme a fast, and set Naboth on hye amonge the people, ¹⁰ and set two vnthriftes before him, to beare witnesse agaynst him, sayenge: thou dydest blaspheme God and the kyng. And then carye hym out, and stone hym to deeth. ¹¹ And the men of his cyte: that is to saye, which dwelt in his cytie, did as Iezabel had sent vnto them, and as it was written in the letter whych she had sent vnto them. ¹² They proclamed fastyng, and set Naboth among the chefe of the people, ¹³ & there came in two men (the children of Belial) and sate before him. And the two vnthriftie persones wytnessed agaynst Naboth, in the presence of the people, sayeng: Naboth dyd blaspheme God and the kyng, And they caried hym out of the cytie, and stoned hym wyth stones that he dyed. ¹⁴ And then they sent to Iezabel, sayenge: Naboth is stoned to dethe.

⁶ & sayde to the iudges: take hede what ye do, for ye execute not the iudgmentes of man, but of God, which is wt you in the iudgement.

⁶ For thou hast taken the pledge from thy brother for naught, and robbed the naked of their clothinge: ⁷ To soche as were weery hast thou geuen no water to drincke, & hast withdrawen bred from the hungrye: ⁸ Shulde soch one then as vseth violence, wrong & oppression (doing all thinge of parcialite, and hauinge respecte of personnes) dwell in the lande? ⁹ Thou hast sent wyddowes awaye emptie and oppressed the poore fatherlesse.

¹¹ When all they that herde me, called me happye: and when all they that sawe me, spake good of me. ¹² For I deliuered the poore when he cried, and so did I the fatherlesse and him that had none to holde him. ¹³ He that shulde haue bene lost, gaue me a good worde, and the wyddowes herte praysed me. ¹⁴ And why? I put vpon me ryghteousnes, which couered me as a garment, and equyte was my crowne. ¹⁵ I was an eye vnto the blynde, and a fote to the lame, ¹⁶ I was a father vnto the poore: and when I knewe not the cause, I sought it out diligently. ¹⁷ I brake the chawes of the vnrighteous man, and pluckte the spoyle out of his teth.

¹³ Did I euer thinke scorne to do right vnto my seruauntes and maydens, when they had eny mater agaynst me? ¹⁴ But seinge that God will sytt in iudgment, what shall I do? And for so moch as he will nedes visett me, what answere shall I geue him? ¹⁵ He that fashioned me in my mothers wombe, made he not him also? were we not both shapena like in oure mothers bodies? ¹⁶ When the poore desired any thinge at me, haue I denied it them? Haue I caused the widdowe to stande waytinge for me in vayne?

³⁴ Haue I feared any great multitude of people: or yf I had bene dispysed of the symple, O then shulde I haue bene afrayed. Thus haue I quyetly spent my lyfe, and not gone out at the dore.

³ Defende the poore and fatherlesse, se that soch as be in nede and necessite haue ryght. ⁴ Delyuer the out caste & poore: saue them from the hande of the vngodly.

²² Se that thou robbe not the poore, because he is weake, & oppresse not the simple in iudgment: ²³ for the Lord him selfe will defende their cause, & do violence vnto them that haue vsed violence.

²³ These are also the sayenges of the wyse. It is not good, to haue respecte of any persone in iudgement.

²⁵ He that feareth men, shal haue a fall: but who so putteth hys trust in the Lorde is with out daunger.

¹⁷ And therfore girde vp thy loynes, aryse, and tell them all, that I geue the in commaundement. Feare them not, lest I destroye the before them.

²⁸ herof are they fat and welthy, and are more mischeuous then any other. They mynistre not the lawe, they make no ende of the fatherlesse cause, yea, and they prospere: yet they iudge not the poore accordynge to equytie. ²⁹ Shulde I not punish these thinges, sayth the Lord? shulde not I be auenged of all suche people as these be?

¹¹ For so moche then as ye oppresse the poore, and robbe him of his best sustenaunce: therfore, where as ye haue buylded houses of square stone, ye shall not dwell in them. Maruelous pleasaunt vyneyardes shall ye plante, but the wyne of them shall ye not drincke: & why? ¹² as for the multitude of youre wyckednesses and youre stoute synnes, I knowe them ryght well. Enemyes are ye of the ryghteous, ye take rewardes, ye oppresse the poore in iudgement.

¹ O wo vnto them, that Imagyn to do herme, and deuyse vngracyousnesse vpon theyr beddes, to perfourme it in the cleare daye: for ther power is agaynst God. ² When they couet to haue lande, they take it by vyolence, they robbe men of theyr houses. Thus they oppresse a man for his house & euery man for his herytage. ³ Therfore thus sayeth the Lorde: Beholde agaynst thys housshold haue I deuysed a plage, wherout ye shall not plucke your neckes: Ye shall nomore go so proudly, for it wyll be a perlous tyme.

¹ And I sayde: heare, O ye heades of the house of Iacob, & ye leders of the house of Israell: Shulde not ye knowe, what were lawfull and ryght? ² But ye hate the good, and loue the euel: ye plucke of mennes skynnes, and the flesh from theyr bones: ³ ye eate the flesh of my people, and flay of theyr skynne: ye breake theyr bones, ye choppe them in peces as it were in to a cauldron, & as flesh into a pot ⁴ Now the tyme shall come, that when they call vnto the Lorde, he shall not heare them, but hyde hys face from them, because that thorow theyr awne Imagynacyons they haue dealte so wyckedly.

³ yet they saye they do well when they do euel. As the prince will, so sayeth the iudge: that he maye do him a pleasure agayne. The greate man speaketh what his herte desireth: & the hearers alowe him. ⁴ The best of them is but as a thistle, & the most rightuous of them is but as a breer in the hedge. But when the daye of thy preachers commeth, that thou shalt be visyted: then shall they be wasted awaye.

¹⁶ And they sent out vnto hym theyr discyples wyth Herodes seruauntes, sayinge: Master, we knowe that thou art true, & teachest the waye of God truely, nether carest thou for eny man, for thou regardest not the outward appearaunce of men.

¹⁴ And assone as they were come, they sayd vnto him: Master, we knowe that thou arte true, & carest for no man: for thou consyderest not the outward appearaunce of men, but teachest the waye of God truly: Is it laufull to paye tribute to Cesar, or not?

²¹ And they asked hym, saying: Master, we knowe that thou sayest and teachest ryght, nether consyderest thou the outward appearaunce of eny man, but teachest the waye of God truly.

³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth, and sayde: Of a treuth I perceaue that there is no respect of persones with God, ³⁵ but in all people, he that feareth hym, and worketh ryghtewesnes, is accepted with him.

¹¹ For ther is no respecte of parsonnes, with God. For whosoeuer hath synned wythout lawe,

⁹ And ye masters, do euen the same thynges vnto them puttinge awaye threatenynges: Knowynge, that youre master also is in heauen, nether is ther eny respecte of person with hym.

²⁵ But he that doth synne, shall receaue for hys synne. Nether is ther any respect of persones.

⁴ but as we were alowed of God, that the Gospell sholde be commytted vnto vs: euen so we speake, not as they that please men, but God, whych tryeth oure hertes.

¹ My brethren, esteme not the fayth of our Lorde Iesus Christ the Lorde of glory wt respecte of persons. ² For if ther come into youre company a man wearyng a golden ryng, clothed in goodly aparell, and ther come in also a poore man in vyle rayment, ³ & ye haue a respecte to him that weareth the gaye clothing, and say vnto him: Syt thou here in a good place: and saye vnto the poore: stande thou there, or syt here vnder my fote stole: ⁴ are ye not parciall in youre selues, and haue iudged after euyll thoughtes? ⁵ Harken my deare beloued brethren. Hath not God chosen the poore of thys worlde, soch as are ryche in faythe, & heyres of the kyngdome, whych he promysed to them that loue hym?

⁹ But yf ye regarde one person more then another, ye commyt synne, & are rebuked of the lawe, as transgressours.

¹⁷ And yf so be that ye call on the father, which wythout respect of person iudgeth according to euery mannes worke, se that ye passe the tyme of youre pilgremage in feare.

⁵ Behold I haue taught you ordinaunces and lawes, soch as the Lorde my God commaunded me, that ye shulde do euen so in the lande, whether ye go to possesse it.

⁴⁰ Thou shalt kepe therfore his ordinaunces, and hys commaundementes which I commaunde the thys daye, that it maye go well with the and with thy chyldren after the, & that thou mayst prolonge thy dayes vpon the erth, which the Lord thy God geueth the thy lyfe longe.

²⁸ Take hede, & heare all these wordes whych I commaunde the, that it maye go well wyth the, and wyth thy chyldren after the for euer, yf thou doest that whych is good and ryght in the syghte of the Lorde thy God.

³² Therfore whatsoeuer I commaunde you, that take hede ye do and put thou nought therto, nor take ought therfrom.

²⁰ Teachinge them to obserue all thinges, whatsoeuer I haue commaunded you. And lo I am wyth you allwaye, euen vntyll the ende of the worlde.

²⁰ because I wolde kepe backe nothynge that was profitable vnto you: but to shewe you and teache you openly, & thorowe out euery house,

²⁷ For I haue spared no laboure, but haue shewed you all the counsell of God.

² eleuen dayes iourney from Horeb vnto Cades barne, by mount Seir.

¹⁵ & whych was thy gyde in the greate and terrible wyldernesse (wherin were) fyrye serpentes, scorpions, and drouth without any water. But he brought out water for the, euen out of the rocke of flynt:

¹⁰ He founde him in a deserte lande, in a voyde grounde, & in a rorynge wyldernesse. He led hym aboute, he gaue hym vnderstandynge, and kepte him as the apple of his eye.

⁶ They thought not in their hertes. Where haue we left the Lorde, that brought vs oute of the lande of Egypte that led vs thorowe the wildernesse, thorowe a deserte & rough lande, thorowe a drye and a deedly lande, yee, a lande that no man had gone thorowe, and wherin no man had dwelt.

⁷ departe therfore & take youre iourney, and go vnto the hyll of the Amorites and vnto all places nye there vnto: both vnto the playne, and hylles and dales: to the south, to the sees syde, to the lande of Canaan, and vnto Libanon: euen vnto the greate ryuer Euphrates. ⁸ Beholde, I haue set the land before you: goo in and possesse the lande whych the Lorde sware vnto youre fathers Abraham, Isaac and Iacob, to geue vnto them and theyr seede after them.

³⁰ And Caleb stylled the of the people before Moses, saying: we wyll go vp, and conquerre it: for we be able to ouercome it.

⁸ If the Lorde hath lust to vs, he wyll brynge vs into this lande and geue it vs, which is such a lande as floweth with mylke and honye, ⁹ But in any wyse rebell not ye agaynst the Lorde. Neyther nede ye to feare the people of the lande: for they are but bread for vs. Theyr shadowe is departed from them, and the Lorde is with vs, feare them not therfore.

¹ When thou goest out to battel agaynst thyne enemyes, and seest horses and charettes, and people mo then thou, be not afrayed of them, for the Lorde thy God is wyth the, whyche broughte the out of the lande of Egypte.

⁶ Be strong therfore and bolde: for vnto this people shalt thou deuyde the lande which I sware vnto their fathers to geue them.

⁹ Haue not I commaunded the, that thou shuldest be stronge & hardye & not feare ner be faynt harted? For I the Lord thy God am with the, whether soeuer thou goest.

¹ Of Dauid. The Lorde is my lyght and my saluacyon: whom then shall I feare? the Lorde is the strength of my lyfe: of whom then shall I be afrayed? ² When the wycked (euen myne enemyes and my foes) came vpon me, to eate vp my fleshe, they stombled & fell. ³ Though an hoost of men were layed agaynst me, yet shall not my hert be astrayed: and though there rose vp warre agaynst me, yet will I put my trust in this.

¹ To the chaunter, a songe for the chyldren of Corah vpon Alamoth. God is our hope & strength: a very present helpe in trouble.

⁷ The Lord of Hostes is wt vs, the God of Iacob is oure refuge. Sela.

¹¹ The Lorde of Hostes is wyth vs, the God of Iacob is oure defence. Sela.

¹⁰ be not afrayed, for I am wt the. Melt not away as waxe, for I am thy God, to strength the, helpe the, & to kepe the wt this ryght hande of myne.

¹ But nowe, the Lorde that made the O Iacob, and he that fashyoned the: O Israel, sayeth thus: Feare not, for I haue redemed the. I haue called the by name: thou art myne awne. ² Yf thou goest thorow the water, I wilbe with the, that the stronge floudes shulde not pluck the awaye. And yf thou walckest thorowe the fyre, it shall not burne the, and the flame shall not kyndle vpon the.

³² Feare not lytell flocke, for it is youre fathers pleasure, to geue you the kyngdome.

⁶ so that we maye boldly saye: the Lorde is my helper, and I will not feare what man maye do vnto me.

¹ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saying: ² Sende men out to searche the lande of Canaan, which I geue vnto the chyldren of Israel: of euery trybe of their fathers shall ye sende a man, and let them all be suche as are rulars among them. ³ And Moses at the commaundement of the Lorde sent forth out of the wyldernes of Pharan suche men as were all heades of the chyldren of Israel: Their names are these. ⁴ Of the trybe of Ruben, Sammua the sonne of Zacur. ⁵ Of the trybe of Symeon, Saphat the sonne of Hori. ⁶ Of the trybe of Iuda, Caleb the sonne of Iephune. ⁷ Of the trybe of Isachar, Igeal the sonne of Ioseph. ⁸ Of the tribe of Ephraim, Osea the sonne of Nun. ⁹ Of the trybe of Ben Iamin, Palthi the sonne of Raphu. ¹⁰ Of the trybe of Zabulon, Gadiel the sonne of Sodi. ¹¹ Of the tribe of Ioseph, namelye of the trybe of Manasse, Gaddi the sonne of Susi. ¹² Of the trybe of Dan, Amiel the sonne of Gemali. ¹³ Of the trybe of Aser, Sethur the sonne of Michael. ¹⁴ Of the trybe of Nephtali, Nahebi the sonne of Uaphsi. ¹⁵ Of the trybe of Gad, Guel the sonne of Machi. ¹⁶ These are the names of the men, which Moses sent to spye oute the lande. And Moses called the name of Osea the sonne of Nun, Iosua. ¹⁷ And Moses sent them forth to spye oute the lande of Canaan, and sayde vnto them: get you vp thys waye southwarde, that ye maye go vp into the hye contrey, ¹⁸ and se the lande what maner thyng it is, & the people that dwelleth therin: whyther they be stronge or weake, ether fewe or many, ¹⁹ and what the lande is that they dwell in, whyther it be good or bad: and what maner of cyties they be, that they dwell in, whyther they dwell in tentes or walled townes: ²⁰ and what maner of lande it is: whether it be fat or leane, and whether there be trees therin or not. Be of a good corage, and brynge of the frute of the lande. And it was about the tyme that grapes are fyrst rype.

³ And Moses at the commaundement of the Lorde sent forth out of the wyldernes of Pharan suche men as were all heades of the chyldren of Israel: Their names are these. ⁴ Of the trybe of Ruben, Sammua the sonne of Zacur. ⁵ Of the trybe of Symeon, Saphat the sonne of Hori. ⁶ Of the trybe of Iuda, Caleb the sonne of Iephune. ⁷ Of the trybe of Isachar, Igeal the sonne of Ioseph. ⁸ Of the tribe of Ephraim, Osea the sonne of Nun. ⁹ Of the trybe of Ben Iamin, Palthi the sonne of Raphu. ¹⁰ Of the trybe of Zabulon, Gadiel the sonne of Sodi. ¹¹ Of the tribe of Ioseph, namelye of the trybe of Manasse, Gaddi the sonne of Susi. ¹² Of the trybe of Dan, Amiel the sonne of Gemali. ¹³ Of the trybe of Aser, Sethur the sonne of Michael. ¹⁴ Of the trybe of Nephtali, Nahebi the sonne of Uaphsi. ¹⁵ Of the trybe of Gad, Guel the sonne of Machi. ¹⁶ These are the names of the men, which Moses sent to spye oute the lande. And Moses called the name of Osea the sonne of Nun, Iosua. ¹⁷ And Moses sent them forth to spye oute the lande of Canaan, and sayde vnto them: get you vp thys waye southwarde, that ye maye go vp into the hye contrey, ¹⁸ and se the lande what maner thyng it is, & the people that dwelleth therin: whyther they be stronge or weake, ether fewe or many, ¹⁹ and what the lande is that they dwell in, whyther it be good or bad: and what maner of cyties they be, that they dwell in, whyther they dwell in tentes or walled townes: ²⁰ and what maner of lande it is: whether it be fat or leane, and whether there be trees therin or not. Be of a good corage, and brynge of the frute of the lande. And it was about the tyme that grapes are fyrst rype. ²¹ And so they went vp, & searched out the lande from the wildernesse of Zin vnto Rehob, as men come to Hemath, ²² & they ascended vnto the south, and came vnto Hebron, where Ahiman was & Sesai & Thalmani, the sonnes of Enack. Hebron was buylt seuen yere before Zoan in Egipt. ²³ And they came vnto the ryuer of Escol, and cut downe there a braunch with one cloustre of grapes and twayne bare it vpon a staffe: and they brought also of the pomgranates and of the fygges. ²⁴ And the place was called the ryuer Escol: because of the cloustre of grapes which the children of Israel cut downe thence. ²⁵ And they turned back agayne from searchynge of the lande after fourty dayes. ²⁶ And they went and came to Moses and Aaron, and vnto all the multitude of the chyldren of Israel, in the wildernes of Pharan: which is Cades, and brought them worde, and also vnto all the congregacion, and shewed them the frute of the lande. ²⁷ And they tolde hym, and sayde: we came vnto the lande whether thou sendedst vs, and surely it floweth with mylke and honye: and here is of the frute of it. ²⁸ Neuerthelesse, the people be stronge that dwell in the lande, and the cityes are walled and exceadynge greate: and moreouer, we sawe the children of Enack there. ²⁹ The Amaleckes dwell in the south contrey, and the Hethites, Iebusites, & the Amorites dwell in the mountaynes, & the Cananites dwell by the see, and by the coaste of Iordan. ³⁰ And Caleb stylled the of the people before Moses, saying: we wyll go vp, and conquerre it: for we be able to ouercome it. ³¹ But the men that went vp with hym, sayde: We be not able to go vp against the people: for they are stronger than we. ³² And they brought vp an euell reporte of the lande which they had searched, saying vnto the children of Israel: The land which we haue gone thorowe to searche it out, is a lande that eateth vp the inhabiters therof: and the people that we sawe in it, are men of a greate stature. ³³ And there we sawe also gyauntes, the chyldren of Enack, which come of the gyauntes. And we semed in oure syght as it were greshoppers, and so we did in theyr syght.

²¹ And so they went vp, & searched out the lande from the wildernesse of Zin vnto Rehob, as men come to Hemath, ²² & they ascended vnto the south, and came vnto Hebron, where Ahiman was & Sesai & Thalmani, the sonnes of Enack. Hebron was buylt seuen yere before Zoan in Egipt. ²³ And they came vnto the ryuer of Escol, and cut downe there a braunch with one cloustre of grapes and twayne bare it vpon a staffe: and they brought also of the pomgranates and of the fygges. ²⁴ And the place was called the ryuer Escol: because of the cloustre of grapes which the children of Israel cut downe thence. ²⁵ And they turned back agayne from searchynge of the lande after fourty dayes. ²⁶ And they went and came to Moses and Aaron, and vnto all the multitude of the chyldren of Israel, in the wildernes of Pharan: which is Cades, and brought them worde, and also vnto all the congregacion, and shewed them the frute of the lande. ²⁷ And they tolde hym, and sayde: we came vnto the lande whether thou sendedst vs, and surely it floweth with mylke and honye: and here is of the frute of it.

¹ And Iosua the sonne of Nun sent out of Settim two men to spye secretlye, sayinge: go & vewe the lande and also Iericho. And they went, and came into a harlotes house, named Rahab, & lodged there. ² And it was tolde the kynge of Iericho, and sayd: Beholde, there came men in hyther to nyght, of the children of Israel, to spye out the countrey.

¹ And all the multitude of the people cryed out, and wepte thorowout that nyght, ² and all the chyldren of Israel murmured agaynst Moses and Aaron. And the whole congregacyon sayde vnto them: wolde God that we hadd dyed in the lande of Egypte, eyther that we had dyed in thys wildernes. ³ Wherfore hath the Lorde brought vs vnto thys lande to fall vpon the swearde: and that our wyues, and oure children shulde be a praye? Were it not better, that we retourne vnto Egypte agayne? ⁴ And they sayde one to another: We wyll make a captayne, and retourne vnto Egipt agayne.

²⁴ Yee they thought scorne of that pleasaunt lande, and gaue no credence vnto his word. ²⁵ But murmured in their tentes, and herkened not vnto the voyce of the Lorde.

¹⁰ But after they prouoked him to wrath & vexed his holy mynde he was their enemye, & fought agaynst them him selfe.

⁵¹ Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised hertes and eares: ye haue allwayes resysted the holy ghost: as youre fathers dyd, so do ye.

³ And the hole multitude of the children of Israel murmured agaynst Moses and Aaron in the wyldernes:

⁸ and in the morning, ye shall se the glory of the Lorde: because he hath heard your grudginges agaynst the Lorde. And what are we that ye haue murmured against vs?

³ Wherfore hath the Lorde brought vs vnto thys lande to fall vpon the swearde: and that our wyues, and oure children shulde be a praye? Were it not better, that we retourne vnto Egypte agayne?

⁵ And the people spake agaynst God & agaynst Moses wherfore hast thou brought vs oute of Egypte, for to dye in the wildernesse? for here is nether bread nor water, & oure soule lotheth thys lyghte breade.

²⁸ lest the lande whence thou broughtest them, saye: The Lorde is not able to brynge them in to the lande, whych he promysed them: and because he hated them, therfore hath he caryed them out, to slaye them in the wyldernesse.

²⁵ But murmured in their tentes, and herkened not vnto the voyce of the Lorde.

²⁴ Then he whych had receaued the one talent, came, & sayd: Sir I knewe the that thou art an harde man: reaping where thou hast not sowen, & gathering where thou hast not strawed,

²¹ for I feared the, because thou art a strayte man: thou takest vp that thou laydest not downe, and reapest that thou dyddest not sowe.

¹⁵ Then the dukes of the Edomites were amased, and the mightyest of the Moabites, tremblynge came vpon them: all the inhabiters of Canaan waxed faynte harted:

¹ Heare O Israel, thou passest ouer Iordan thys daye, to go in, and conquere nacyons greate & myghtier then thy selfe: cyties greate and walled vp to heauen, ² a people greate and tall, euen the chyldren of the Enakims, whych thou knowest of, and of whom thou hast herde saye: who wyll stande before the chyldren of Enack?

⁸ And let the offycers speake further vnto the people, and saye: If any man feare and be faynte herted, let hym go and returne vnto hys house, lest he make hys brothers hert faynte as well as hys.

⁹ & sayde vnto the men: I knowe, that the Lorde hathe geuen you the lande for the feare of you is fallen vpon vs, & the enhabiters of the land faynt at the presence of you.

¹¹ And as sone as we had heard these thynges oure hertes dyd fainte. And there remayned no moare courage in any man at the presence of you. For the Lord youre God, he is the God in heauen aboue, & on the erth benethe.

²⁴ And they sayd vnto Iosua: the Lord truly hathe delyuered into oure handes all the lande, and all the inhabiters of the contrey faynte at the presence of vs.

²² There was not one Enakite leafte in the lande of the chyldren of Israell, only in Asah Geth, and Asdod, there remayned of them.

⁸ Neuerthelesse my brethren that went vp wyth me, dyscouraged the herte of the people. And I folowed the Lorde God.

¹⁴ And Caleb droue thence the thre sonnes of Enack, Sesai, and Ahman, and Thalmai, which were, the sonnes of Enack.

¹⁰ And Iuda went against the Cananites that dwelt in Hebron, which before time was called kariath Arbe. And slew Sesai, Ahiman & Thalmai.

²⁰ And they gaue Hebron vnto Caleb, as Moses sayde, And he expelled thence the thre sonnes of Enach.

¹⁶ and Iesby of Nob one of the sonnes of the gyauntes (the yron of whose speare wayed thre hundred sycles, and he beynge gyrded with a newe swerde) thought to haue slayne Dauid. ¹⁷ But Abisai the sonne of Zaruia succoured hym, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the seruauntes of Dauid sware vnto him, sayinge: Thou shalt go no moare out with vs to battell, that thou quench not the lyght of Israel. ¹⁸ And yet after this, there was a battell with the Philistines at Nob, and then Sibbechai the Husathite slewe Saph which was one of the sonnes of the giauntes. ¹⁹ And there was yet another battell in Nob with the Philistines, where Elhanam the sonne of Iaere Orgim, a Bethlemite slue one Goliath a Gethite: the staffe of whose speare was as great as a weuers cloth beame. ²⁰ And there was yet another battell in Geth where was a man of a great stature, & had on euery hand .vj. fyngers and on euery fote .vj. toes .xxiiij. in all. And was borne also of the kynred of the giauntes in Geth. ²¹ And whan he defyed Israell, Ionathas the sonne of Simea the brother of Dauid slewe hym ²² These foure giauntes were borne in Geth, & fell into the hande of Dauid and into the handes of his seruauntes.

⁷ Therfore shall all handes be letten downe, & all mens hertes shal melt awaye,

⁷ And yf they saye, wherfore mournest thou? Then tell them: for the tidynges that commeth, at the whych all hertes shall melt, all handes shalbe letten downe, all stomackes shall faynte, & all knees shall waxe feble. Beholde, it commeth & shalbe fulfylled, sayeth the Lorde God.

¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: beholde, I haue made the Pharaos God, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophete. ² Thou shalt speake all that I commaunded the, and Aaron thy brother shall speake vnto Pharao, that he sende the chyldren of Israel out of hys lande. ³ And I wyll harden Pharaos hert, and multiplie my myracles and my wondres in the lande of Egypte. ⁴ But Pharao shall not herken vnto you, that I maye sett myne hand vpon Egypte, and brynge out myne armyes, and my people the chyldren of Israel out of the lande of Egypte, in great iudgementes, ⁵ and the Egyptians shall knowe, that I am the Lorde: when I stretche forth my hande vpon Egypte, and brynge out the chyldren of Israel from amonge them. ⁶ Moses and Aaron dyd as the Lorde commaunded them, euen so dyd they. ⁷ Moses was .lxxx. yere olde, and Aaron .lxxxiij. when they spake vnto Pharao. ⁸ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses and Aaron sayinge: ⁹ yf Pharao speake vnto you sayinge: shewe a wondre, thou shalt saye vnto Aaron: take thy rodd and cast it before Pharao, that it maye be a serpent. ¹⁰ Than went Moses and Aaron in vnto Pharao, and dyd euen as the Lorde had commaunded. And Aaron cast forth his rodd before Pharao and before his seruauntes and it turned to a serpente. ¹¹ Than Pharao called for the wyse men and enchaunters, & those wyse men of Egypte dyd in like maner wt there sorcery. ¹² For they cast downe euery man hys rodd, and they turned to serpentes: but Aarons rodde dyd eate vp theyr roddes: ¹³ and he hardened Pharaos herte: that he herkened not vnto them, euen as the Lorde had sayde. ¹⁴ The Lorde also sayde vnto Moses. Pharaos herte is hardened, he refuseth to let the people goo. ¹⁵ Get the vnto Pharao in the mornynge, lo, he wyll come vnto the water, and thou shalt stonde vpon the ryuers brynke agaynst he come, and the rodd whyche turned to a serpente, shalt thou take in thyne hande. ¹⁶ And thou shalt saye vnto hym: the Lorde God of the Hebrues hath sente me vnto the, sayinge let my people goo, that they maye serue me in the wildernes: And beholde, hyther to thou woldest not heare. ¹⁷ Thus sayth the Lorde: In thys thou shalt knowe that I am the Lorde. Beholde, I wyll smyte (with the staffe that is in myne hande) the water that is in the ryuer, and it shall turne to bloude. ¹⁸ And the fyshe that is in the ryuer shall dye, and the ryuer shall stynke: and it shall greue the Egyptians to dryncke of the water of the ryuer. ¹⁹ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, saye vnto Aaron: take thy staffe, and stretche out thyne hande ouer the waters of Egypte, ouer their streames, ouer their ryuers and pondes and all pooles of water, whych they haue, that they maye be bloude, and that there maye be bloud thorowe out all the lande of Egypte: both in vessels of wodd and also of stone. ²⁰ And Moses and Aaron dyd euen as the Lorde commaunded. And he lyfte vp the staffe and smote the waters that were in the ryuer in the syghte of Pharao and in the syghte of hys seruauntes, and all the water that was in the ryuer, turned into bloud. ²¹ And the fyshe that was in the ryuer dyed and the ryuer stanke: and the Egyptians coulde not dryncke of the waters of the ryuer. And there was bloude thorowe out all the lande of Egypte. ²² And the enchaunters of Egypte dyd lykewyse wyth their sorceries, and he hardened Pharaos hert: neyther dyd he harken vnto them as the Lorde had sayde. ²³ And Pharao turned hym selfe, and went agayne into hys housse, and let not hys herte there vnto. ²⁴ And the Egyptians dygged rounde aboute the ryuer for water to drynke, for they coulde not drynke of the water of the ryuer. ²⁵ And it continued a weke after that the Lorde had smyten the ryuer.

¹⁴ The Lorde shall fyght for you, and ye shall holde your peace.

²⁵ and toke of hys charet wheles & caryed them awaye violently. So that the Egipcians sayde: Let vs fle from the face of Israel: for the Lorde fighteth for them agaynst the Egipcians.

¹ Then Moses & the chyldren of Israel sange this songe vnto the Lord and sayde: I wyll syng vnto the Lorde: for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and him that rode vpon him hath he ouerthrowne in the see. ² The Lord is my strength and prayse, and he is become my saluacion. He is my God, and I wyll glorify hym: my fathers God, & I wyll exalte hym. ³ The Lorde is a man of warre. The Lorde is hys name. ⁴ Pharaos charettes and his hoost hath he caste into the see. Hys chosen captaynes also are drowned in the red see, ⁵ the depe waters haue couered them: they soncke to the botome as a stone. ⁶ Thy ryght hande Lorde, is become glorious in power: thy ryght hande Lorde hath all to dashed the enemy. ⁷ And in thy greate glory thou hast ouerthrowne them that rose vp agaynst the: thou sentest forth thy wrath which consumed them euen as stobell. ⁸ Thorowe the winde of thy nastrels the water gathered together, the floudes stode styll as an heape, and the depe water congeled together in the hert of the see. ⁹ The enemye sayd: I wyll folowe on them: I will ouertake them, I will deuyde the spoyle, I wyll satisfye my lust vpon them, I wyll drawe my sweard, myne hande shall destroye them. ¹⁰ Thou blewdest wt thy wynde, the see couered them, they sancke as leed in the mightye waters. ¹¹ Who is lyke vnto the, o Lorde, among goddes? who is lyke the so glorious in holynes, fearfull in prayses, shewing wonders? ¹² Thou stretchedest out thy ryght hande, the erth swalowed them. ¹³ Thou in thy mercye hast caryed thys people which thou deliueredst: & hast brought them in thy strength vnto thy holy habitatyon. ¹⁴ The nations heard and were afrayed, sorowe came vpon the Philistines. ¹⁵ Then the dukes of the Edomites were amased, and the mightyest of the Moabites, tremblynge came vpon them: all the inhabiters of Canaan waxed faynte harted: ¹⁶ Lett feare and dreade fall vpon them in the greatnes of thyne arme, let them be as styll as a stone, tyll thy people passe thorowe, O Lorde, whyle thys people passe thorowe, which thou hast goten. ¹⁷ Thou shalte brynge them in, and plante them in the mountayne of thyne enheritaunce, the place, Lord, which thou hast made for to dwell in, the sanctuary, o Lorde, which thy handes haue prepared. ¹⁸ The Lorde shall raigne euer and all waye. ¹⁹ For Pharaos horse went in wt his charettes and horsemen into the see, & the Lord brought the waters of the see vpon them. But the children of Israel went on drye land in the myddest of the see. ²⁰ And Mir Iam a prophetysse the syster of Aaron toke a tymbrell in her hande, & all the wemen came out after her wt tymbrels & daunces. ²¹ And Mir Iam sange before them: Synge ye vnto the Lorde: for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse & his ryder hath he ouerthrowne in the see. ²² And so Moses brought Israel from the redd see, & they went out into the wildernes of Sur. And they went thre dayes longe in the wildernes, and founde no waters. ²³ And whan they came to Mara, they coulde not drincke of the waters of Mara: for they were bytter: therfore the name of the place was called, Mara, ²⁴ And the people murmured agaynst Moses, sayinge: what shall we drincke? ²⁵ And he cried vnto the Lorde: and the Lorde shewed hym a tree, which when he had cast into the water, the waters were made swete. There he made them an ordinaunce and a lawe, and there he proued him, ²⁶ & sayde: If thou wylt herken vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy God, and wylt do that which is right in his sight, and wylt geue eare vnto his commaundementes, & kepe all hys ordinaunces: then wyll I put none of these diseases vpon the which I brought vpon the Egipcians: for I am the Lorde that healeth the. ²⁷ (

²² Ye shall not feare them, for the Lord youre God, he shall fyghte for you.

¹ When thou goest out to battel agaynst thyne enemyes, and seest horses and charettes, and people mo then thou, be not afrayed of them, for the Lorde thy God is wyth the, whyche broughte the out of the lande of Egypte. ² And when ye are come nye vnto battell, the Preaste shall come forth to speake vnto the people, ³ and shall saye vnto them: Heare O Israel, ye are come vnto battell agaynste youre enemyes let not youre hartes faynte, nether feare, nor be amased nor adread of them. ⁴ For the Lord youre God goeth wt you, to fighte for you agaynste youre enemyes, & to saue you.

⁴² All those kynges and their lande dyd Iosua take at one tyme: because the Lorde God of Israell fought for Israell.

⁴⁵ Then sayde Dauid to the Philistine: thou comest to me wyth a swerde, a speare and a shylde: But I come to the in the name of the Lord of hostes, the God of the hoste of Israel, whom thou hast rayled vpon. ⁴⁶ This daye shall the Lorde delyuer the into my hande, and I shall smyte the, & take thine heed from the, and wyll geue the karcases of the hoste of the Philistines thys daye vnto the foules of the ayre, and to the beastes of the erth, that all they whych be in the worlde, maye knowe, that there is a God in Israel.

¹¹ And Asa cryed vnto the Lorde hys God, & sayde: Lorde, it is no harde thinge with thou to helpe ether many, or them that haue no power: helpe vs therfore, O Lorde our God, for we trust to the, and in thy name we go agaynst thys multytude. Thou arte the Lorde oure God, and no man shall preuayle agaynst the. ¹² So the Lorde smote the blacke mores before Asa and Iuda, & the blacke mores fled.

⁸ With him is an arme of flesh. But with vs is the Lorde oure God, for to helpe vs, and to fyght oure batayles. And the people toke a courage thorow the wordes of Hezekia kyng of Iuda.

²⁰ Loke in what place therfore ye heare the noyse of the trompet, resorte ye thyther vnto vs, & our God shal fight for vs,

¹¹ They kepte not the couenaunt of God, and wolde not walke in hys lawe. ¹² But forgat what he had done, and the wonderfull worckes that he had shewed for them. ¹³ Maruelous thynges dyd he in the syght of oure fathers in the lande of Egypte, euen in the felde of Zoan.

⁴³ They thought not of hys hand, and of the daye when he delyuered them from the hande of the enemye. ⁴⁴ How he had wrought hys myracles in Egypte, and his wondres in the felde of Zoan. ⁴⁵ He turned their waters into bloude, so that they myght not dryncke of the ryuers. ⁴⁶ He sent lyce amonge them, and deuoured them vp and frogges to destroye them. ⁴⁷ He gaue their frutes vnto the catyr pyller, and their laboure vnto the greshopper. ⁴⁸ He destroyed their vynes wt hayle stones, and their mulbery trees wyth the frost. ⁴⁹ He smote their catel also with haylestones, & their flockes with hote thonder boltes. ⁵⁰ He cast vpon them the furyousnesse of hys wrath, anger, displeasure and trouble, and sent euell angels among them. ⁵¹ He made awaye to his indignacion, and spared not their soule from death, but gaue their lyfe ouer to the pestylence.

²⁷ And these shewed his tokens amonge them, and wonders in the lande of Ham. ²⁸ He sent darcknesse, & it was darcke, and they were not obedyent vnto hys worde. ²⁹ He turned theyr waters into bloude, and slewe their fyshe. ³⁰ Their land brought forth frogges, yee euen in their kynges chambers. ³¹ He spake the worde, and their came all maner of flyes, and lyce in all their quarters. ³² He gaue them hayle stones for rayne, and flammes of fyre in their lande. ³³ He smote these vines also and fyge trees, & destroyed the trees that were in their coastes. ³⁴ He spake the worde, and the greshoppers came, & catyrpyllers innumerable. ³⁵ And dyd eate vp all the grasse in their land, and deuoured the frute of their grounde. ³⁶ He smote all the fyrst borne in their lande, euen the chefe of all theyr strength.

⁹ Breake downe (o ye peple of Assur) and ye shall be, broken downe: herken to all ye of farre countrees. Muster you, and you shalbe broken downe, prepare you to batell and you shall be torne in peces: ¹⁰ take your councell together, yet must your councel come to naught: go in hande withall, yet shall it not prospere: for God is with vs.

³¹ What shall we then saye to these thinges? yf God be on oure syde, who can be agaynst vs?

³⁷ Neuerthelesse, in all these thynges we ouercome thorowe hym that loued vs.

¹ (² b) And they toke their iorney from Elim: & all the hole company of the children of Israel came to the wildernes of Sin, which is betwene Elim and Synai: the .xv. day of the .ij. moneth after their departyng out of the lande of Egypt. ³ And the hole multitude of the children of Israel murmured agaynst Moses and Aaron in the wyldernes: ⁴ and the children of Israel sayde vnto them: wolde to God we had died by the hande of the Lorde in the lande of Egypte, when we sat by the fleshepottes, and when we dyd eate bread our belyes full: for ye haue brought vs out into this wyldernes, to kyll thys hole multitude with honger. ⁵ Then sayde the Lorde vnto Moses: behold, I wyll rayne bread from heauen to you, and the people shall go out, and gather daye by daye that I may proue them, whither they will walke in my lawe or no. ⁶ The .vj. daye they shal prepare for them selues that which they wyll bryng in, and let it be twise asmoch as they gather in dayly. ⁷ And Moses & Aaron sayde vnto all the children of Israel: at euen ye shall knowe that it is the Lorde, which brought you out of the lande of Egypt: ⁸ and in the morning, ye shall se the glory of the Lorde: because he hath heard your grudginges agaynst the Lorde. And what are we that ye haue murmured against vs? ⁹ And Moses sayde: At euen shall the Lorde geue you flesh to eate, and in the mornyng bread ynough: for the Lorde hath hearde your murmurynges which ye murmur agaynst him: for what are we? your murmuringes are not against vs, but agaynst the Lorde. ¹⁰ And Moses spake vnto Aaron: Saye vnto all the company of the children of Israel, come forth before the Lorde: for he hath heard your grudgynges. ¹¹ And as Aaron spake vnto the hole multytude of the chyldren of Israel, they loked towarde the wildernes: and beholde, the glorye of the Lorde appeared in the cloude. ¹² And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying: ¹³ I haue hearde the murmurynge of the chyldren of Israel, tell them therfore and saye: at euen ye shall eate flesh, and in the morning ye shalbe fylled with breed, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord your God. ¹⁴ And at euen the quayles came and couered the grounde where they laye. And in the morninge, the dewe laye rounde about the hooste. ¹⁵ And when the dewe was fallen: beholde it laye vpon the grounde in the wyldernes, small & round and thyn as the hore frost on the grounde. ¹⁶ And when the chyldren of Israel sawe it, they sayde euery one to hys neyghboure: It is Manna. For they wist not what it was. And Moses sayde vnto them: this is the breed which the Lord hath geuen you to eate. ¹⁷ This is the worde which the Lorde hath commaunded: gather of it euery man for him self to eate: a gomer full for a man according to the nombre of you, and take euery man for them which are in his tente.

⁴ ye haue sene what I dyd vnto the Egyptians, and toke you vp vpon Eegles wynges, & haue brought you vnto my selfe:

¹¹ And Moses sayde vnto the Lord: wherfore hast thou dealt cruelly with thy seruaunt? And wherfore haue I not found fauour in thy syght, seyng that thou puttest the weyght of all this people vpon me? ¹² haue I conceaued all thys people? Or haue I begotten them:? hat thou shuldest saye vnto me? carie them in they bosome (as a nurse beareth the suckynge chylde) vnto the lande, which thou swarest vnto their fathers?

¹⁴ I am not able to beare all thys people alone, seying it is to heuy for me.

¹⁰ He founde him in a deserte lande, in a voyde grounde, & in a rorynge wyldernesse. He led hym aboute, he gaue hym vnderstandynge, and kepte him as the apple of his eye. ¹¹ As an egle that stereth vp her nest and flotereth ouer her younge, & stretcheth out hir winges, so doth he take them vp, & beareth them on his shoulders. ¹² The Lorde alone was hys guyde, & there was no straunge God wt him.

¹² & leddest them on the daye tyme in a cloudy pyller, & on the nyghte season in a pyller of fyre, to shewe them lyghte in the waye that they wente. ¹³ Thou camest downe also vpon mount Sinai, & spakest vnto them from heauen, and gauest them right iudgmentes, true lawes good commaundementes and statutes, ¹⁴ and declaredst vnto them thy holy Saboth, and commaundest them preceptes, ordinaunces, and lawes, by the hand of Moses thy seruaunt: ¹⁵ and gauest them bred from heauen when they were hongrye, & broughtest forth water for them out of the rock when they were thyrstye: and promysedst them, that they shuld go in, and take possessyon of the land, ouer whych thou haddest lyfte vp thyne hand for to geue them. ¹⁶ But they & oure fathers were proude and hardnecked, so that they folowed not the commaundementes, ¹⁷ and wolde not obeye, nether were myndefull of the wonders that thou dyddest for them: but became obstynate and heady, in so moche, that they turned backe to theyr bondage for theyr disobedyence. And thou my God forgauest, and wast gracyous, mercyfull, pacyent, and of greate goodnesse, and forsokest them not ¹⁸ And though they made a moulten calfe (& sayde: Thys is thy goddes that brought the out of the land of Egypte) and dyd greate blasphemyes, ¹⁹ yet forsokest thou them not in the wyldernes, accordyng to thy greate mercy. And the cloudy pyller departed not from them on the daye tyme to leade them the waye, nether the pyller of fyre in the nyght season, to shewe them lyghte in the waye that they wente. ²⁰ And thou gauest them thy good sprete, to enfourme them, and withheldest not thy Manna from theyr mouth, and gauest them water when they were thyrstye. ²¹ Fortye yeares longe madest thou prouisyon for them in the wyldernesse, so that they lacked nothynge, their clothes waxed not olde, and their fete swelled not. ²² And thou gauest them kyngedomes and nacyons, & partedst them accordynge to their porcions, so that they possessed the lande of Sehon kyng of Hesebon, and the lande of Og the kynge of Basan. ²³ And their chyldren multiplyedst thou as the starres of heauen, and broughtest them into the lande, wherof thou haddest spoken vnto theyr fathers, that they shulde go into it, and haue it in possessyon.

¹⁴ He deuyded the see, and let them go thorow: he made the waters to stande on a heape. ¹⁵ In the daye tyme also he led them wyth a cloude, and all the nyght thorow wt a light of fyre. ¹⁶ He cloaue the hard rockes in the wyldernesse, and gaue them drincke therof, as it had bene out of the greate deapth. ¹⁷ He brought waters out of the stony rocke, so that it gusshed out lyke the ryuers. ¹⁸ Yet for all this they synned more agaynst hym, and prouoked the moost hyest in the wyldernes. ¹⁹ They tempted God in theyr hertes, and requyred meate for theyr lust. ²⁰ They spake agaynst God also sayenge: Shall God prepare a table in the wildernesse? ²¹ He smote the stony rocke in dede, that the water gushed out, and the streames flowed withall: but can he geue bred also, or prouyde flesh for his people? ²² When the Lord hearde thys, he was wroth: so the fyre was kyndled in Iacob, & ther came vp heuy dyspleasure agaynst Israel. ²³ Because they beleued not in God, and put not their truste in his helpe. ²⁴ So he commaunded the cloudes aboue, and opened the dores of heauen. ²⁵ He rayned downe Manna also vpon them, for to eate, and gaue them foode from heauen. ²⁶ So man dyd eate angels fode, for he sent them meate ynough. ²⁷ He caused the East wynd to blowe vnder the heauen, and thorow his power he brought in the south west wynde. ²⁸ He rayned flesh vpon them as thicke as dust, and fethered foules lyke as the sande of the see.

³⁹ He spred out a cloude to be a coueryng, and fyre to geue lyght in the nightceason. ⁴⁰ At their desyre, he brought quayles, and he fylled them with the bread of heauen. ⁴¹ He opened the rocke of stone, and the waters flowed out: so that ryuers ranne in the drye places.

¹¹ He shall fede his flock lyke an herdman. He shall gather the lambes together with hys arme, and carye them in his bosome, & shall kyndely intreate those that beare yonge.

³ Herken vnto me, O house of Iacob, and all ye that remayne yet of the housholde of Israel: whom I haue borne from youre mothers wombe, and brought you vp from youre byrth, tyll ye were growen. ⁴ I, I, which shall beare you vnto youre last age. I haue made you, I wyll also norysh you, beare you and saue you.

⁹ In their troubles he was also troubled wt them, and the angell that went forth from hys presence, delyuered them: Of very loue & kyndnesse that he had vnto them, redemed he them. He hath borne them, and caryed them vp euer, sence the worlde beganne.

³ I lerned Ephraim to go, & bare them in myne armes, but they regarded not me, that wolde haue helped them. ⁴ I led them with coardes of frendshyppe, and with bandes of loue. I was euen he, that layed the yocke vpon their neckes. I gaue their foder my self

¹⁸ and about the tyme of fourtye yeares, suffred he theyr maners in the wyldernes.

²⁰ And whan they arose earlye in the mornynge, they gat them out vnto the wyldernesse of Thekoa. And as they went out, Iehosaphat stode and sayde: heare me, O Iuda, & ye enhabiters of Ierusalem. Put your trust in the Lord your God, that ye maye be founde faythfull. Geue credence to hys prophetes, & so shall ye prospere.

²² When the Lord hearde thys, he was wroth: so the fyre was kyndled in Iacob, & ther came vp heuy dyspleasure agaynst Israel.

²⁴ Yee they thought scorne of that pleasaunt lande, and gaue no credence vnto his word.

⁹ And the chefe cytie of Ephraim is Samaria, but the head of Samaria is Romelies sonne. Yf ye beleue not: it commeth of thys: that ye are vnfaithfull to God.

¹² Take hede brethren, lest at anye tyme ther be in anye of you a frowarde herte subiect vnto vnbelefe, that he shulde departe from the lyuynge God:

¹⁸ To whom sware he that they shulde not enter into his rest, but vnto them that were not obedient? ¹⁹ And we se, that they coulde not enter in, because of vnbelefe:

⁵ My mynde is therfore to put you in remembraunce, for as moche as ye once knowe this, how that the Lorde (after that he had delyuered the people out of Egypt) destroyed them which after warde beleued not.

²¹ And the Lorde wente before them by daye in a pyller of a cloude to leade them the waye: and by nyght in a pyller of fyer to geue them lyght, that they might go both by daye and nyght. ²² The pyller of the cloude departed not by daye, nor the pyller of fyer by night out of the sight of the people.

¹⁹ And the angell of God which went before the hoost of Israel remoued, and beganne to go behynde them. And the clowden piller that was before the face of them beganne to stonde behynde them, ²⁰ and came betwene the hoost of the Egipcians and the hooste of Israel. It was also a darcke clowde, and gaue lyght by nyght: and all the nyght long the one came not at the other.

²⁴ And in the morning watch, the Lorde loked vnto the hoost of the Egipcians out of the fyery and clowdy pyller: and troubled the hoost of the Egipcians,

³⁴ And the clowde couered the tabernacle of witnesse, and the glorye of the Lorde fylled the habitacyon. ³⁵ And Moses coulde not entre into the tabernacle of witnesse, because the clowde abode theron, and the glorye of the Lorde fylled the habitacyon. ³⁶ And when the clowde was taken vp from of the habitacyon, the chyldren of Israel toke theyr iorneys thorowe out theyr armyes. ³⁷ And whan the clowde was not taken vp, they iorneyed not tyll it was taken vp: ³⁸ for the clowde of the Lorde was vpon the habitacyon by daye, and fyre by nyght: in the syghte of all the house of Israel thorow out all theyr armyes.

¹⁵ And the same daye that the Tabernacle was reared vp, a cloude couered the habitacyon, whych was as a tabernacle of the wytnesse: and at euen there was vpon the habitacyon, as it were the similitude of fyre vntyll the mornynge. ¹⁶ So it was alwaye, the cloude couered it by daye, and the similitude of fyre by nyghte. ¹⁷ And when the cloude was taken vp from of the tabernacle, then the chyldren of Israel iourneyed: and where the cloude abode there the chyldren of Israel pitched theyr tentes. ¹⁸ At the mouthe of the Lorde the chyldren of Israell iourneyed, and at the mouth of the Lorde they pytched. And as longe as the cloude abode vpon the habitacyon they laye styll: ¹⁹ and when the cloude taryed styll vpon the habitacyon longe tyme, the chyldren of Israell kepte the watche of the Lorde, and iourneyed not. ²⁰ And it chaunced that whan the clowde abode a few dayes vpon the habitacyon, they abode in their tentes, according to the commaundement of the Lorde: and they iorneyed also at the commaundment of the Lorde. ²¹ And it happened that whan the cloude abode vpon the habitacion from euen vnto the mornyng, and was taken vp in that morning, then they iorneyed. Whether it was by daye or by night that the cloude was taken vp, they iorneyed. ²² Or yf the cloud taryed two dayes or a moneth, or a longe ceason vpon the habitacyon, and remayned theron, the chyldren of Israel abode styll, and iorneyed not. And assone as the cloude was taken vp, they iorneyed.

¹¹ And it came to passe the twentyth daye of the second moneth in the second yeare, that the cloude was taken vp from of the habitacion of wytnesse. ¹² And the chyldren of Israel toke their iorney out of the desert of Sinai, & the cloude rested in the wyldernesse of Pharan.

³³ And they departed from the mount of the Lorde, thre dayes iorneye: and the arcke of the testament of the Lord went before them in the thre dayes iorneye, to serche oute a restyng place for them.

¹⁴ And it wylbe tolde to the inhabyters of this lande also: for they haue hearde lykewyse, that thou Lorde art amonge this people: and that thou Lorde art sene face to face, and that thy cloude standeth ouer them, and that thou goest before them by daye tyme in a pyller of a cloude, and in a pyller of fyer by nyght.

¹² & leddest them on the daye tyme in a cloudy pyller, & on the nyghte season in a pyller of fyre, to shewe them lyghte in the waye that they wente.

²⁰ Thou leddest thy people lyke shepe, by the hande of Moses and Aaron.

¹⁴ He deuyded the see, and let them go thorow: he made the waters to stande on a heape.

³⁹ He spred out a cloude to be a coueryng, and fyre to geue lyght in the nightceason.

⁵ Moreouer, vpon all the dwellynges of the hyll of Sion and vpon theyr whole congregacion, shall the Lorde prouyde a cloude and smoke by daye, & the shynynge of a flammynge fyre by nyght: for all theyr glory shalbe preserued. ⁶ And Ierusalem shall be a tabernacle for a shadowne because of hete in the daye tyme a place and refuge where a man maye kepe hym from wether & rayne.

⁶ euen in the daye that I lyft vp myne hande ouer them, to bringe them out of the lande of Egypte, into a lande that I had prouyded for them, which floweth with mylcke & hony, & is a pleasaunt lande amonge all other.

⁵ Yee, I my selfe (sayth the Lorde) wyll be vnto her a wall of fyer rounde aboute, and wylbe honoured in her.

²² But all those men which haue sene my glory and my miracles which I dyd in Egipt and in the wildernes and haue tempted me nowe thys .x. tymes, and will not herken vnto my voyce, ²³ shall not se the lande which I sware vnto their fathers: nether shall any of them that prouoked me se it. ²⁴ But my seruaunt Caleb: with whom there was another maner of sprete: and because he hath folowed me vnto the vtmost, hym will I brynge into the lande whiche he hath walked in, and his seed shall inheret it, ²⁵ and also the Amalekites & Cananites whiche dwell in the playne contreye. Tomorowe turne you, and get you into the wildernesse: euen by the waye of the redd see. ²⁶ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses & Aaron, saying: ²⁷ howe longe doth this euell multitude murmur agaynst me? ²⁸ I haue heard the murmuringes of the chyldren of Israel with the which they murmur agaynst me. Tell them therfore: As truly as I lyue (sayth the Lorde) I will do vnto you, euen as ye haue spoken in myne eares. ²⁹ Youre carkasses shall lye in this wildernes. And all you that were tolde thorowout your nombres, from .xx. yeare and aboue (which haue murmured against me) ³⁰ shalt not come into the land, ouer which I lyfted vp myne hande, to make you dwell therin, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, and Iosua the sonne of Nun.

⁸ Thus dyd your fathers, when I sent them from Cades Barne to se the lande. ⁹ For when they went vp euen vnto the riuer of Escol, and sawe the lande: they discoraged the hert of the children of Israel, that they shulde not go into the lande, which the Lorde hath geuen them. ¹⁰ And the Lorde was wroth the same tyme and sware, saying: ¹¹ None of the men that came out of Egipte from twentye yere olde and aboue, shall se the lande which I sware vnto Abraham, Isaac and Iacob, because they haue not wholy folowed me: ¹² saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune the Kenesite, and Iosua the sonne of Nun: for they haue folowed the Lorde. ¹³ And the Lorde was angry with Israel, and made them wandre in the wildernes fourty yere, vntyll all the generacyon that had done euell in the syght of the Lorde were consumed.

¹⁴ The space in whych we came from Cades barne vntyll we were come ouer the ryuer Zared, was .xxxviii. yeres: vntyll all the generacyon of the men of warre were wasted out from amonge the host, as the Lorde sware vnto them. ¹⁵ For in dede the hande of the Lorde was agaynst them, to destroye them from amonge the host, tyll they were consumed.

¹¹ Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they shulde not enter in to my rest.

¹⁵ But I swore vnto them in the wyldernesse, that I wolde not brynge them in to the lande, which I gaue them: a lande that floweth with mylcke and hony, & is a pleasure of all landes:

⁸ harden not youre hertes, as in the prouokynge, in the daye of temptacyon in the wyldernes, ⁹ where youre fathers tempted me, proued me, and sawe my workes .xl. yeare. ¹⁰ Wherfore I was greued with the generacyon, and sayde: They do all waye erre in their hertes: they verely haue not knowen my wayes, ¹¹ so that I sware in my wrath: they shall not enter into my rest.

⁶ Of the trybe of Iuda, Caleb the sonne of Iephune.

²⁴ But my seruaunt Caleb: with whom there was another maner of sprete: and because he hath folowed me vnto the vtmost, hym will I brynge into the lande whiche he hath walked in, and his seed shall inheret it,

⁶⁵ For the Lorde sayde of them: they shall dye in the wildernes: and ther was not left a man of them, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, and Iosua the sonne of Nun.

¹² saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune the Kenesite, and Iosua the sonne of Nun: for they haue folowed the Lorde.

¹⁹ The names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Iuda, Caleb the sonne of Iephune.

⁶ And the children of Iuda came vnto Iosua in Gilgall. And Caleb the sonne of Iephune the kenesyte sayde vnto hym: thou wottest what the Lorde sayd vnto Moses the man of God, about my matter and thyne in Cades Barne. ⁷ Fourty yeare olde was I when Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde sent me from Cades Barne to spie out the lande. And I brought hym worde agayne euen as it was in myne herte. ⁸ Neuerthelesse my brethren that went vp wyth me, dyscouraged the herte of the people. And I folowed the Lorde God. ⁹ And Moses sware the same daye, saying: the lande wheron thy fete haue troaden, shalbe thyne enheritaunce and thy chyldrens for euer, because thou hast folowed the Lorde God. ¹⁰ And beholde, the Lorde hath kept me alyue (as he sayde) this fourtye and fyue yeares, euen sence the Lord spake this word vnto Moses, whyle the chyldren of Israell wanderyd in the wyldernesse. And now lo, I am this daye foure skore & fyue yere old: ¹¹ & yet am as stronge at this tyme, as I was when Moses sent me: looke how stronge I was then, so strong am I now whether I go to warre, or come agayne. ¹² Now therfore geue me thys mountayne wherof the Lorde spake in that daye, for thou herdest in that daye, how the Enakins are there, and the cities great & walled. Peraduenture the Lorde wilbe with me, & I shall he able to dryue them out, as the Lorde sayd. ¹³ And Iosua blessed him, & gaue vnto Caleb the sonne of Iephune, Hebron to enheret. ¹⁴ And Hebron therfore became the enheritaunce of Caleb the sonne of Iephune the kenesite, vnto thys daye: because he folowed the Lord God of Israell.

¹² And Caleb sayde he that smyteth Kariathsepher, & taketh it, to him will I geue Acsah my daughter to wyfe. ¹³ And Othoniel the sonne of kenez Calebs younger brother toke it: to whom he gaue Acsah hys daughter to wyfe, ¹⁴ and as they went, she counceled hym to aske of her father a felde. And then she lyghted of her asse: and Caleb sayde vnto her: What ayleth the? ¹⁵ She answered vnto hym: geue me a blessynge: for thou hast geuen me a Southward (or drie) lande, geue me also sprynges of water. And Caleb gaue her springes both aboue & benethe.

¹² And the Lorde spake vnto Moses & Aaron: because ye beleued me not, to sanctifye me in the eyes of the chyldren of Israel, therfore ye shall not brynge thys congregacyon into the lande whyche I haue geuen them.

¹³ And when thou hast sene it, thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people also, as Aaron thy brother was gathered. ¹⁴ For ye were disobedyent vnto my mouthe in the deserte of Sin, in the stryfe of the congregacyon. Neyther dyd ye sanctifye me in the waters before their eyes. That is the water of stryfe in Cades in the wildernesse of Sin.

²³ And I besoughte the Lorde the same tyme sayinge: ²⁴ O Lorde God, thou hast begonne to shewe thy seruaunte thy greatnesse and thy myghtye hande, for els where is there a God in heauen or in erth, that can do after thy workes and after thy power? ²⁵ let me go ouer and se the good lande that is beyonde Iordan, that goodly mountayne, and Libanon. ²⁶ But the Lorde was angrye wyth me for youre sakes, and wolde not heare me. And the Lorde sayed vnto me: be content, speake no moare vnto me of this matter.

²¹ Furthermoare, the Lorde was angrye with me for youre sakes, and sware, that I shulde not go ouer Iordan, and that I shulde not go in vnto that good land, which the Lorde thy God geueth the to enheritaunce.

⁴ And the Lorde sayde vnto hym. Thys is the lande whych I sware vnto Abraham, Isahac and Iacob sayinge: I wyll geue it vnto thy seed. I haue caused the also to se it wyth thyne eyes, but thou shalt not goo ouer thyther.

³² They angered him also at the waters of stryfe, so that he punyshed Moses for their sakes. ³³ Because they prouoked his sprete, so that he spake vnaduisedly with his lyppes.

⁹ And Moses sayde vnto Iosua: chose vs oute men, and goo fyghte with Amalech. And tomorow I will stonde on the toppe of the hyll, and the rodd of God shalbe in my hande. ¹⁰ Iosua did as Moses bade hym, & foughte with Amalech. And Moses, and Aaron, & Hur went vp to the toppe of the hyll. ¹¹ And it happened, that when Moses helde vp his hande, Israel had the better. And when he late hys hande downe, Amalech had the better. ¹² But Moses handes were heuye, and therfore they toke a stone and put it vnder hym, and he satt downe there on. And Aaron and Hur stayed vp his handes, the one on the one syde and the other on the other syde. And hys handes remayned stedye vntyll the goynge downe of the sonne. ¹³ And Iosua discomfeted Amalech and hys people, with the edge of the swerde. ¹⁴ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: writte thys for a remembraunce in a boke, and commite it vnto the eares of Iosua, for I will vtterly put out the remembraunce of Amalech from vnder heauen.

¹³ And Moses rose vppe & hys minister Iehosua, & Moses went vppe into the hyll of God,

¹¹ And the Lord spake vnto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh vnto his frende: and he turned agayne into the hoost. And the chylde Iosua hys seruaunte the sonne of Num, departed not oute of the tabernacle:

⁸ Of the tribe of Ephraim, Osea the sonne of Nun.

¹⁶ These are the names of the men, which Moses sent to spye oute the lande. And Moses called the name of Osea the sonne of Nun, Iosua.

³⁰ shalt not come into the land, ouer which I lyfted vp myne hande, to make you dwell therin, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, and Iosua the sonne of Nun.

³⁸ But Iosua the sonne of Nun & Calleb the sonne of Iephune which were of the men that wente to search the lande, lyued styll.

¹⁸ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: take Iosua the sonne of Nun, in whom is the sprete, and putt thyne handes vpon hym, ¹⁹ & set hym before Eleazar the preast, and before all the congregacyon: and geue hym a charge in theyr syght. ²⁰ And put of thy prayse vpon him, that all the companye of the children of Israel maye be obedient. ²¹ And he shall stande before Eleazar the preaste, which shall aske councell for hym after the iudgement of Urim before the Lorde. And according vnto his worde shall they go out and in, both he and all the chyldren of Israel wyth hym, and all the congregacyon. ²² And Moses dyd as the Lorde commaunded him: and he toke Iosua, and set hym before Eleazar the preaste, and before all the congregacyon: ²³ and put hys handes vpon him, & gaue him a charge, as the Lord commaunded thorowe the hande of Moses.

²⁸ But charge Iosua: and courage him, & bolden him. For he shal go before this people, and he shall deuyde vnto them the lande whyche thou shalt se.

⁷ And Moses called vnto Iosua, and sayde vnto hym in the syghte of all Israel: Be stronge & bolde, for thou must go with thys people vnto the lande, which the Lorde hath sworne vnto their fathers, to geue them, & thou shalt geue it them to enheret. ⁸ And the Lorde he doth go before the: He shall not fayle the, neyther forsake the: feare not therfore, nor be discomforted.

²³ And he gaue Iosua the sonne of Nun a charge, and sayd: be bolde, & stronge, for thou shalt bryng the chyldren of Israel into the lande, whych I sware vnto them, and I wyll be with the.

¹ After the death of Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde, it happened also that the Lorde spake vnto Iosua the sonne of Nun Moses minister saying:

⁶ Be strong therfore and bolde: for vnto this people shalt thou deuyde the lande which I sware vnto their fathers to geue them. ⁷ Onely be thou strong & as bolde as thou canst, that thou mayest obserue & do according to all the lawe, which Moses my seruaunt commaunded the. Tourne therfrom nether to the right hand, nor to the lefte: that thou mayste do wysely in all thou takest in hande: ⁸ let not the boke of this lawe departe out of thy mouthe: But recorde therin daye & night that thou mayst obserue, & do according to all that is written therin. For then shalt thou make thy waye prosperouse, and then thou shalt do wysely. ⁹ Haue not I commaunded the, that thou shuldest be stronge & hardye & not feare ner be faynt harted? For I the Lord thy God am with the, whether soeuer thou goest.

²² And Saul sent to Isai, sayinge: lett Dauid remayne with me, for he hath founde fauour in my syght.

²⁹ Seest thou not, that they which be diligent in theyr busynes, stande before kynges and not amonge the symple people?

³¹ But your children which ye saye shulde be a praye, them I will bring in, & they shall knowe the land which ye haue refused,

¹⁵ Butter and hony shall he eate, that he maye knowe to refuse the euell, and chose the good. ¹⁶ For or euer the chyld come to knowledge, to eschue the euel and chose the good. The lande (that thou so Abhorrest) shalbe desolate of both her kynges.

¹¹ And shulde not I then haue compassyon vpon Niniue that greate cytie, wherin there are aboue an .C. & .xx. thousand personnes, that knowe not theyr ryght hand from the lefte, besydes moch catell?

¹¹ For yer the chyldren were borne, when they had nether done good nether bad (that the purpose of God by eleccyon, myght stande) it was sayde vnto her, not by the reason of workes, but by the caller:

³ amonge whom we all had oure conuersacyon also in tyme past, in the lustes of oure flesshe, and fulfylled the wyll of the flesshe and of the mynde: and were by nature the chyldren of wrath, euen as well as other.

²⁵ and also the Amalekites & Cananites whiche dwell in the playne contreye. Tomorowe turne you, and get you into the wildernesse: euen by the waye of the redd see.

³⁹ And Moses tolde these sayinges vnto all the chyldren of Israel, and the people toke great sorowe. ⁴⁰ And they rose vp early in the morninge, and gat them vp into the toppe of the mountayne, sayinge: lo, we be here, and wyll go vp vnto the place of which the Lorde sayde vnto vs, for we haue synned. ⁴¹ And Moses sayde: wherfore wyll ye go on thys maner, beyonde the worde of the Lorde? it will not come well to passe: ⁴² go not vp therfore: (for the Lorde is not amonge you) that ye be not slayne before your enemyes. ⁴³ For the Amaleckytes and the Cananites are there before you, and ye will fall vpon the sweard, because ye are turned awaye from the Lord, and and the Lorde will not be with you. ⁴⁴ But they presumed obstinatly to go vp into the hyll top. Neuerthelater, the arck of the testament of the Lorde, and Moses departed not out of the hoost. ⁴⁵ Then the Amaleckites and the Cananites which dwelt in that hyll, came downe, and smote them, and hewed them euen vnto Horma.

³⁴ Balaam sayd vnto the angell of the Lord: I haue synned: for I wist not that thou stodest in the waye agaynst me Nowe therfore yf it displease the I wyll turne home agayne.

³ Folysshenes maketh a man to go out of hys waye, & then is hys herte vnpacient against the Lorde.

¹⁷ And I wyll set my face agenste you, and ye shall fall before youre enemyes, & they that hate you, shall raygne ouer you and ye shall flee, when no man foloweth you.

⁴¹ And Moses sayde: wherfore wyll ye go on thys maner, beyonde the worde of the Lorde? it will not come well to passe: ⁴² go not vp therfore: (for the Lorde is not amonge you) that ye be not slayne before your enemyes. ⁴³ For the Amaleckytes and the Cananites are there before you, and ye will fall vpon the sweard, because ye are turned awaye from the Lord, and and the Lorde will not be with you.

⁸ Oh Lorde what shall I saye, when Israel turneth their backes before their enemyes: ⁹ Surely the Cananites, and all the enhabiters of the lande shall heare of it, & shall conspire agaynst vs, & destroye the name of vs out of the worlde. And what wilt thou do vnto thy myghtie name? ¹⁰ And the Lorde sayde vnto Iosua, gett the vp, wherfore lyest thou thus vpon thy face? ¹¹ Israel hath synned, & they haue transgressed myne appointement, which I commaunded them: for they haue taken of the excommunicate thinges, and haue stolen, and dissembled, & put them vnto their awne stuffe ¹² And therfore is it that the children of Israel cannot stande before their ennemyes, but shall turne their backes before their ennemyes because they be excommunicate. Nether will I be wt you any moare, excepte ye rote out the excommunicate from amonge you. ¹³ Up therfore, & sanctifie the people, and saye: sanctifie youre selues against to morowe: for so sayd the Lord God of Israel There is a damned thinge amonge you (O Israel) & therfore ye cannot stande against youre ennemyes, vntill ye haue put the damned thinge from amonge you.

² And put them selues in araye against Israel. And when they ioyned the battell, Israel was put to the worse before the Philistines. And the Philistynes slue in araye alonge by the feldes, about a foure thousande men.

¹⁰ And the Philistines fought, & Israel was put to the worse & fledd euery man into his tente. And ther was an exceading great slaughter, for there were ouerthrowen of Israel .xxx.M. fotemen.

¹⁷ A .M. shall flye at the rebuke of one, & at the rebuke of .v. shall ye all flye, tyll ye be left as a shypp mast vpon the topp of a mountayne, and as a beaken vpon an hyll.

¹ Beholde the Lordes hande is not so shortened that it can not helpe, nether is his eare so stopped that it maye not heare. ² But youre mysdedes haue separated you from youre God, & your synnes hyde his face from you, that he heareth you not.

¹² And though they brynge vp eny, yet will I make them chyldeles amonge men. Yee, wo shall come to them, when I depart from them.

⁴⁴ But they presumed obstinatly to go vp into the hyll top. Neuerthelater, the arck of the testament of the Lorde, and Moses departed not out of the hoost.

⁷ Because that the flesshly mynde is enemyte agaynst God: for it is not obedyent to the lawe of God, nether can be. ⁸ So then they that are in the flesshe, cannot please God.

⁴⁵ Then the Amaleckites and the Cananites which dwelt in that hyll, came downe, and smote them, and hewed them euen vnto Horma.

³ And the Lorde herde the voyce of Israel, and deliuered them the Cananites. And they destroyed them and theyr cyties, & called the name of the place Horma.

²⁵ And the Lorde shall plage the before thyne enemyes: Thou shalt come out one waye agaynst them, and flee seuen wayes before them, and shall be scatered amonge all the kyngdomes of the erthe.

³⁰ Howe shulde one chace a thousande, and two put ten thousande to flyghte: excepte their maker had solde them, and excepte the Lorde had shutt them vp?

¹² They came aboute me lyke bees, and are extincte, euen as the fyre amonge the thornes, for in the name of the Lorde I wyl destroye them.

¹⁸ For at the same tyme shall the Lord whystle for the flyes that are aboute the water of Egypt, and for the Bees in the Assirians lande.

³⁴ When he slewe them, they sought hym, and turned them early and enquered after God.

¹⁷ For ye knowe how that afterwarde when he wolde by inheretaunce haue optayned blessyng, he was put by, For he founde no place of repentaunce, though he sought it with teares.

³⁴ after the nombre of the dayes in which ye searched out the lande euen fourty daies, euery daye for a yeare shall ye beare your vnrighteousnes euen .xl. yeare, and ye shall knowe my displeasure.

²² And the chyldren of Israel departed from Cades, and came vnto mount Hor wyth all the congregacyon.

¹⁶ But when Israel came out of Egypt, & walked thorow the wildernesse, euen vnto the redd see, they came to Cades ¹⁷ & sent messengers vnto the king of Edom, saying: let me (I praye the) go thorow thy land. But the king of Edom wolde not agre therto. And in lyke maner they sent vnto the king of Moab, but he wold not consent. And so Israel abode stil in Cades.
