⁷ and toke a yocke of oxen, and hewed them in peces, & sent them thorowe out all the coastes of Israel by the handes of messengers, sayeng: whosoeuer commeth not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall hys oxen be serued. And the feare of the Lorde fell on the people, and they cam out as it had bene but one man.

¹⁵ And ther was a feare in the host, in the felde, & amonge all people: in so moche that they that were gone out of the watche to robbe, were afrayde also: and the erth trymbled, for the feare that was sent of God.

¹⁴ And they smote all the cyties rounde about Gerar. For the feare of the Lorde came vpon them. And they spoyled all the cyties and there was exceadynge moche spoyle in them.

¹⁰ And the feare of the Lorde fell vpon all the kyngdomes of the landes that were rounde about Iuda, & they fought not agaynst Iehosaphat.

⁵ There were they brought in great feare for God is in the generacyon of the ryghteous.

¹⁹ And he called the name of that place Bethell, but the name of the cytie was called Lus before tyme.

²² and thys stone which I haue set vp an ende, shalbe goddes house: and of all that thou shalt geue me, wyll I geue the tenth vnto the.

³ & Iacob sayde vnto Ioseph: God allmyghtie apeared vnto me at Lus in the lande of Canaan, & blessed me,

²² And in lyke maner they that were of the house of Ioseph went vp to Bethel & the lord was wyth them, ²³ & the house of Ioseph serched out Bethel, which before tyme was called Lus. ²⁴ And the spyes sawe a man come out of the cytie, and they sayde vnto hym: shew vs the waye into the cytie, and we wyll shewe the mercy. ²⁵ And whan he had shewed them the waye into the cytie, they smote it wyth the edge of the swerd, but let the man and all hys housholde goo free. ²⁶ And the man went into the lande of the Hethites, and bylt a cytie, and called the name therof Lus which is the name therof vnto this daye.

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.

¹ And God sayde vnto Iacob, aryse and get the vp to Bethel, and dwell there. And make there an aulter vnto God that apeared vnto the, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

³ for we wyll aryse and goo vp to Bethell and I wyll make an aulter there, vnto God, which herde me in the daye of my tribulacyon, and was with me in the waye which I went.

¹⁵ And Moses made an alter and called the name of it. The Lorde is he that worketh myracles for me.

²⁴ Then Gedeon made an aultare there vnto the Lord, & called it: The Lorde of peace. And vnto thys daye it is yet in Ephrath, that pertayneth vnto the father of the Eserites.

⁴ If thou make a vowe vnto God, be not slacke to perfourme it. As for folysh vowes, he hath no pleasure in them: ⁵ If thou promyse eny thinge, paye it: for better it is that thou make no vowe, then that thou shuldest promyse, and not paye.

³⁵ Thus shall it haue .xviij.M. measures rounde about. And from that tyme forth, the name of the citye shalbe, the Lorde is there.

⁵⁹ So they let Rebecca theyr syster go and her norse & Abrahams seruaunte, & hys men.

¹ And the angell of the Lorde came vp from Gilgall to Bochim, & sayde: I made you to come out of Egypte, and haue brought you vnto the lande which I sware vnto youre fathers. And I sayd: I wyll not breake myne appoyntment that I made with you.

⁵ And called the name of the sayde place. Bochim, and offered sacrifyces vnto the Lorde.

¹³ and toke their bones and buryed them vnder a tree at Iabes, and fasted seuen dayes.

⁷ And the Lorde apearynge vnto Abram: sayd: Unto thy sede wyll I geue this londe. And there buylded he an altare vnto the lorde, euen where he had appeared vnto hym.

¹ Abram was nynetye yere olde & .ix. & the Lorde apeared to Abram & sayde vnto hym: I am the almyghtie God: walke before me and be thou perfecte.

¹ And the Lorde apeared vnto hym in the playne of Mamre and he sat in his tent dore in the heate of the daye.

² And the Lorde apeared vnto him, and sayde: Go not downe into Egypte, but byde in the lande whych I shall shewe vnto the:

¹¹ And the angell of God spake vnto me in a dreame, saying: Iacob? And I answered: here am I. ¹² And he sayde: lyfte vp nowe thyne eyes & se all the rammes leapinge vpon the shepe that are straked, spotted & partye: for I haue sene all that Laban doth vnto the, ¹³ I am the God of Bethel, where thou anoyntedst the stone, and where thou vowedst a vowe vnto me. Now therfore aryse & get the out of this countre, and returne vnto the lande wher thou wast borne.

¹ But Iacob went forth on his iourney. And the Angels of God came, & met hym.

²⁴ and taried behinde hym selfe alone. And there wrastled a man wyth hym vnto the breakynge of the daye. ²⁵ And when he sawe that he coulde not preuayle against hym, he smote hym vnder the thye, and the senowe of Iacobs thye shranke, as he wrastled wyth hym. ²⁶ And he sayde: let me goo, for the daye breaketh. Which answered: I wyll not let the goo, excepte thou blesse me. ²⁷ And he sayde vnto hym: what is thy name? He answered: Iacob. ²⁸ He sayde: thou shalt be called Iacob nomore, but Israell. For as a prynce hast thou wrastled wyth God: and wyth man, and hast preuayled. ²⁹ And Iacob asked hym sayinge: tell me thy name. And he sayde, wherfore dost thou so aske after my name? and he blessed hym there. ³⁰ And Iacob called the name of the place Pheniel, for I haue sene God face to face, & my lyfe is preserued.

² And God spake vnto Israel in a visyon by nyght sayenge: Iacob, Iacob. And he answered: here am I. ³ And he sayde: I am God, the God of thy father, fere not to goo downe into Egypt. For I wyll there make of the a great people.

³ & Iacob sayde vnto Ioseph: God allmyghtie apeared vnto me at Lus in the lande of Canaan, & blessed me, ⁴ & sayde vnto me: beholde, I wyll make the growe, & wyll multiplye the, & wyll make a great nombre of people of the, and wyll geue thys land vnto thy seed after the vnto an euerlastyng possessyon.

³ Euen so shall the Lorde now also apeare vnto me from farre, and saye: I loue the with an euerlasting loue, therfore, by my mercye I haue drawen the to me.

² And he sayd: ye men, brethren and fathers, hearken. The God of glory appeared vnto our father Abraham, whan he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

⁵ Neyther shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shalbe Abraham: for a father of many nacyons haue I made the,

¹⁵ And God sayde vnto Abraham: Sarai thy wyfe shalt thou not call Sarai: but Sara shall her name be.

²⁷ And he sayde vnto hym: what is thy name? He answered: Iacob. ²⁸ He sayde: thou shalt be called Iacob nomore, but Israell. For as a prynce hast thou wrastled wyth God: and wyth man, and hast preuayled.

³¹ And Elia toke .xij. stones according to the nombre of the .xij. trybes of the sonnes of Iacob (vnto whom the worde of the Lorde came, sayeng. Israel shalbe thy name.

³⁴ And vnto this daye they do after the olde maner: and nether feare God, nether do after theyr ordinaunces and customes, and after the lawe and commaundement which the Lorde commaunded the chyldren of Iacob, whom he called Israel.

¹ And God blessed Noah & his sonnes, and sayde vnto them: brynge ye forth frute and multiplye, and replenyshe the earth.

² And I wyll make of the a greate people, and wyll blesse the, & make thy name greate, that thou mayest be euen a blessynge.

¹⁶ And I wyll make thy seed, as the dust of the erth: so that yf a man can nombre the dust of the erth, than shall thy seed also be nombred.

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.

⁵ Neyther shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shalbe Abraham: for a father of many nacyons haue I made the, ⁶ I will make the to growe excedyngly, and will make nacions of the: ye & kynges shall sprynge out of the. 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.

¹⁶ And I will blesse her & haue geuen the a sonne of her, & wyll blesse her: people also, ye and kynges of people shall sprynge of her.

¹⁴ is any thynge wonderfull to God? Acordynge to the tyme appoynted will I returne vnto the, euen acordynge to the tyme of lyfe, & Sara shall haue a sonne.

¹⁸ seynge that Abraham shall be a great and a myghtie people, and all the nacyons of the erth shalbe blessed in him?

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.

³ And God almyghtye blesse the, & make the to increase, and multyplye the that thou mayst be a nombre of people, ⁴ and geue the the blessynge of Abraham: to the and to thy seed wyth the, that thou mayst possesse the lande (wherin thou art a straunger) whyche God gaue vnto Abraham.

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.

¹² Thou saydest: I wyll surely do the good, & make thy seed as the sande of the see, which can not be nombred for multytude.

¹⁴ And God almyghtye geue you mercye in the syghte of the man, that he maye delyuer you youre other brother, & this BenIamin, and I shalbe robbed of my chylde, as I haue bene.

³ And he sayde: I am God, the God of thy father, fere not to goo downe into Egypt. For I wyll there make of the a great people.

⁷ and the chyldren of Israel grewe, encreased, multiplyed, and waxed exceadinge myghtye: and the lande was full of them.

³ I appeared vnto Abraham Isahac and Iacob as an allmyghtye God: and in my name Iehouah was I not knowne vnto them.

¹ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses in the wildernesse of Sinay, in the tabernacle of wytnesse, the fyrst daye of the seconde moneth in the seconde yeare after they were come out of the lande of Egypte, sayinge: ² take ye the summe of all the multitude of the chyldren of Israel, after theyr kynredes & housholde of theyr fathers wyth the nombre of theyr names, all that are males, heed by heed, ³ from .xx. yeare & aboue: euen all that go forthe to the warre in Israel, thou and Aaron shall nombre them thorowe out theyr armyes, ⁴ and wyth you shalbe men of euery trybe, wherof euery one is heed man of the house of hys fathers. ⁵ And these are the names of the men that shall stande with you: of Ruben, Elizur the sonne of Sedeur: ⁶ of Simeon, Selumiel the sonne of Suri Sadai: ⁷ of Iuda, Nahesson the sonne of Aminadab: ⁸ of Isachar, Nathanael the sonne of Zuar: ⁹ of Zabulon, Eliab the sonne of Helon. ¹⁰ Amonge the chyldren of Ioseph: of Ephraim, Elisama the sonne of Amihud: of Manasse, Gamaliel the sonne of Peda Zur: ¹¹ of Ben Iamin, Abidan the sonne of Gedeoni: ¹² of Dan, Ahiezer the sonne of Ammi Sadai: ¹³ of Aser, Pagiel the sonne of Ocran: ¹⁴ of Gad, Elisaph the sonne of Deguel: ¹⁵ of Nephthali, Ahira the sonne of Enan. ¹⁶ These were of greate fame in the congregacyon, Lordes of the trybes of their fathers, and heades ouer thousandes in Israel. ¹⁷ And Moses and Aaron toke these men (which are expressed by theyr names) ¹⁸ and gethered all the congregacyon together, the fyrst daye of the seconde moneth, and they were rekened thorowe out their kinredes & houses of their fathers by name from .xx. yeare and aboue, heed by heed. ¹⁹ As the Lorde commaunded Moses, euen so he nombred them in the wyldernesse of Sinai. ²⁰ And the chyldren of Ruben Israels eldest sonne thorowe out theyr generacions, & their kynredes, & houses of their fathers in the nombre of names, heed by heed (all males from .xx. yeare & aboue) as many as dyd goo forth to the warre: ²¹ the nombre of them that were of the tribe of Ruben, was .xlvi. thousande & .v. hundred. ²² Of the chyldren of Simeon thorowe out theyr generacyons and theyr kynredes and houses of theyr fathers, the summe of them in the nombre of names, heed by heed, all the males from .xx. yeares and aboue, whosoeuer myght go forth to the warre: ²³ the summe of them that were of the trybe of Simeon .lix. thousande and .iij. hundred. ²⁴ Of the chyldren of Gad thorowe out their generacyons and theyr kynredes and housholdes of theyr fathers, the nombre of the names from .xx. yeare & aboue, all that wente forth to the warre: ²⁵ the nombre of them that were of the tribe of Gad, was .xlv. thousande, syxe hundred and fyftye. ²⁶ Of the chyldren of Iuda thorowe out their generacyons and their kynredes and houses of their fathers, the nombre of names from .xx. yeare and aboue, all that were able to go furth to the warre:

¹ There was a man of one of the two Ramaths (of the kinred of Zophim, of mount Ephraim) named Elkana the sonne of Ieroham the sonne of Elihu, the sonne of Thohu, the sonne of Zuph, an Ephrathite: ² whych had two wyues, the one called Hanna, & the other Phenenna. And Phenenna had children, but Hanna had none. ³ And the sayd man went vp out of his citye euery feastfull daye, to praye & to offer vnto the Lord of hostes in Silo, where were the two sonnes of Eli (Hophni & Phinehes) the lordes prestes. ⁴ And it fell on a solempne daye, that Elkana offered, and gaue to Phenenna his wife & to all her sonnes and daughters porcyons. ⁵ But vnto Hanna he gaue a porcion wt a heuye chere, for he loued Hanna, and the Lord had made her barren. ⁶ And her enemye (Phenenna) vexed her sore contynually, to moue her, because the lord had made her barren. ⁷ And so did she yere by yere as ofte as she went vp to the house of the lord. And so chafed her, which wepte, and did not eate. ⁸ Then sayde Elkana her husband to her: Hanna, why wepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thyne herte troubled? am not I better to the, then ten sonnes? ⁹ So Hanna rose vp after that they had eaten & droncke in Sylo. And Eli the Preaste sate vpon a stole by one of the syde postes of the temple of the Lorde. ¹⁰ And she was troubled in her mynde, and prayed vnto the Lord, & wepte sore, ¹¹ and vowed a vowe, and sayd: O Lord of hostes, yf thou wylt loke on the trouble of thine handmayde, & remembre me, and not forget thine handmayde, but geue vnto thine handmayde a man chylde: I wyll geue him vnto the Lord all the dayes of his lyfe, & there shall no raser come vpon his heed. ¹² And as she continued praying before the lord, it fortuned, that Eli marked her mouth. ¹³ For Hanna spake in her herte, & her lyppes did but moue onely, but her voyce was not heard: & therfore Eli thought she had bene droncken, ¹⁴ and Eli sayd vnto her: How long wylt thou be droncken? put awaye from the, the wyne that thou hast. ¹⁵ Hanna answered and sayde: not so my Lord, I am a woman of a sorowfull herte: I haue droncke nether wyne nor stronge drynck, but haue powred out my soule before the Lord. ¹⁶ Count not thyne handmayde to be lyke a daughter of Belial, for out of the aboundance of my heuynes & greafe: haue I spoken hitherto. ¹⁷ Eli answered her agayne: & sayde go in peace: the God of Israell graunt the thy peticyon, that thou hast asked of hym. ¹⁸ She sayde: let thyne hand mayde fynde grace in thy sight And so the woman went her waye, & dyd eat, & loked no more so sadde. ¹⁹ And they rose vp earlye, & worshipped before the lord, & then returned, & came to theyr house to Ramath. And whan Elkana knew Hanna his wyfe, the Lord remembred her: ²⁰ for in processe of tyme it came to passe, that she conceaued, & bare a sonne, & called his name Samuel (sayeng:) because I haue asked him of the Lord. ²¹ And Elkana & all his house went vp to offer vnto the Lord, the offerynge due for the feast, & also his vowe: ²² Neuertheles, Hanna went not vp, but sayde vnto her husbande: I wyll tarye vntill the ladde be wened, & then I wyll bring him that he maye apeare before the Lord, & there abide for euer. ²³ Elkana her husband answered her: do what semith the best: tarye at home, vntill thou hast wened him, & I besech the Lord, to make good his sayeng. And so the woman abode, & gaue her sonne sucke, vntill she wened him. ²⁴ And when she had wened him she toke hym with her, with thre bullockes & an Epha of floure, & a bottel of wyne, and brought him vnto the house of the Lord in Silo, & the child was yet but tender of age. ²⁵ And they slue a bullocke, & brought in the ladd to Eli, ²⁶ and she sayd: Oh my Lord: as truly as thy soule lyueth my Lord, I am the woman that stode before the here, prayeng vnto the Lorde. ²⁷ For this ladde I prayed, and the Lorde hath geuen me my desire, whych I asked of him: ²⁸ and therfore I haue geuen hym vnto the Lord, as long as he is mete for the lorde. And they worshipped the Lorde there.

¹⁸ and wylbe a father vnto you, and ye shalbe my sonnes & daughters, sayth the Lorde allmyghty.

¹⁴ And the Lorde sayde vnto Abram, after that Lot was departed from him. Lyfte vp thyne eyes nowe, & loke from the place where thou art, northwarde, southwarde, estwarde & westwarde, ¹⁵ for all the lande whyche thou seeste wyll I geue vnto the and to thy seed for euer. ¹⁶ And I wyll make thy seed, as the dust of the erth: so that yf a man can nombre the dust of the erth, than shall thy seed also be nombred. ¹⁷ Aryse and walke about in the lande, after the length of it & after the bredth therof, for I wyll geue it vnto the.

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,

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,

⁴ & sayde vnto me: beholde, I wyll make the growe, & wyll multiplye the, & wyll make a great nombre of people of the, and wyll geue thys land vnto thy seed after the vnto an euerlastyng possessyon.

⁸ and am come downe to delyuer them out of the hande of the Egyptians, and to brynge them out of that lande vnto a good lande and a large: and vnto a lande that floweth wyth mylcke and hony: euen vnto the place of the Cananites and Hethites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Heuites, and of the Iebusites.

¹ And Iericho was shut vp, & locked because of the children of Israel, nether myght anye man go out or in. ² And the Lord sayd vnto Iosua: beholde, I haue geuen into thyne hand Iericho and her kynge and the strong men of warre. ³ And ye shall compasse the cytie, all ye that be men of warre, & go rounde aboute it once and so shall you do syxe dayes. ⁴ And seuen preastes shall beare before the Arke, seuen trompettes of rammes hornes. And the seuenth daye, ye shal compasse the cytie seuen tymes, and the preastes shall blowe with the trompettes. ⁵ And when they make a longe blaste wyth the rammes horne, & ye heare the sounde of the horne, all the people shal showte wt a great showte. And then shall the wall of the citie fall doune, and the people shall ascende vp, euery man streight before him. ⁶ And Iosua the sonne of Nun, called the preastes, and sayde vnto them: take vp the arcke of the appointement, & lett seuen preastes beare seuen trompettes of rammes hornes before the arcke of the Lorde, ⁷ And he sayde vnto the people, go and compasse the cytie: and lett him that is harnessed, go before the arcke of the Lorde. ⁸ And when Iosua had spoken vnto the people, the seuen preastes bare the seuen trompettes of rammes hornes, and went forth before the arcke of the Lorde, & blewe with the trompettes, and the arcke of the couenaunt of the Lorde folowed them. ⁹ And all the men of armes went before the Preastes, that blewe with the trompettes, and the commen people came after the arke: and the prestes that went blewe with trompettes. ¹⁰ And Iosua commaunded the people sayinge: Ye shall not showte, ner make any noyse wt youre voyce, neither shal any worde procede out of youre mouthe, vntill the daye I bid you showte, then shall ye showte. ¹¹ And so the arcke of the Lord compased the cytie, and went aboute it once: and they retourned into the hoste, and lodged there. ¹² And Iosua rose erly in the mornyng, and the Preastes toke vp the arcke of the Lorde, ¹³ and seuen Preastes bare seuen trompettes of rammes hornes, & went before the arcke of the Lorde, and blew with the trompettes. And all the men of armes went before them, but the comen people came after the arcke of the Lorde, which went before with the blowing of the trompettes. ¹⁴ And the seconde daye they compased the cytie once, & retourned agayne into the hoste, & so they dyd sixe dayes. ¹⁵ And when the seuenth daye came, they rose erlye: euen with the dawninge of the daye, and compased the cytie after the same maner seuen tymes: only that daye they compased the cytie seuen tymes. ¹⁶ And at the seuenth tyme, whan the preastes blewe wt the trompettes, Iosua sayd vnto the people: showt, for the Lorde hath geuen you the cytie. ¹⁷ And the cytie shalbe damned bothe it and all that are therin, vnto the Lorde: onlye Rahab the harlot shall lyue, and all that are with her in the house, because she hidd the messengers that we sent. ¹⁸ And in anywise be ye ware of the excommunicate thinges, lest ye make youre selues excommunicate, & take of the excommunicate thinges, and make the hoste of Israel excommunicate and trouble it. ¹⁹ But all the siluer, golde, vesselles of brasse, & yron shalbe consecrate vnto the Lorde, & shal come into his treasurie. ²⁰ And the people showted, and blewe wyth trompettes. And when the people heard the sounde of the trompe, they showted wt a great showt: & the wall fell downe, so that the people went vp into the cytie, euery man streyght before him, ²¹ & toke the citie. And they vtterly destroyed all that was in the cytie, bothe man and woman, younge and olde, oxe, shepe & Asse, with the edge of the swerde.

¹ And that daye dyd they reade in the boke of Moses, & the people herkened therto, & there was found writen therin, that the Ammonites & Moabites shulde neuer come into the congregacion of God, ² because they mett not the children of Israel wt bread and water, but hyred Balaam agaynst them, that he shuld curse them: and oure God turned the curse into a blessing. ³ Now when they herde the lawe, it fortuned, that they separated from Israell euery one that had myxte hym selfe therin ⁴ And before this had the preast Eliasib the ouer syght of the treasury of the house of oure God, & he was kynsman vnto Tobia: ⁵ & had made him a great chambre, & there had they afore tyme layed the offeringes, frankencense, vessell, & the tythes of corne, and wyne and oyle (accordyng to the commaundement geuen to the Leuites, syngers and porters) and the heueofferynges of the preastes: ⁶ But in all this tyme was not I at Ierusalem: for in the two & thyrtie yeare of Artaxerses kyng of Babylon, came I vnto the kyng, and after certayne dayes optayned I lycence of the kyng ⁷ to come to Ierusalem. And I gat knowlege of the euell that Eliasib dyd vnto Tobia, in that he had made him a chambre in the court of the house of God, ⁸ and it greued me sore, & I cast forth all the vessels of the house of Tobia out of the chambre, ⁹ and commaunded them to clense the chambres. And thither brought I agayne the vessels of the house of God, with the meatoffering, and the incense. ¹⁰ And I perceaued, that the porcions of the Leuites were not geuen them, and that euery one fled to his land, euen the Leuites and syngers that executed the worke. ¹¹ Then reproued I the rulers, & sayd? why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, & set them in their place. ¹² Then brought all Iuda the tythes of corne, & wyne and oyle vnto the treasure. ¹³ And I made treasurers ouer the treasure, euen Selemiah the preast, & Zadoc the scrybe, and of the Leuites, Phadaia, & vnder their hand was Hanan the sonne of Zacur the sonne of Mathania: for they were counted faythfull, and their office was to distribute the porcions vnto their brethren. ¹⁴ Thyncke vpon me O my God here in, and wipe not out my mercy that I haue shewed on the house of my God, and on the offices therof. ¹⁵ At the same tyme sawe I some tredynge wyne presses on the Saboth, & bryngyng in shefes, & asses laden wt wyne, grapes, figges & brynging all maner of burthens vnto Ierusalem, vpon the Sabaoth daye. And I rebuked them earnestly the same daye that they sold the vitayles. ¹⁶ There dwelt men of Tyre also therin, which brought fysh and all maner of ware, & solde on the Saboth vnto the children of Iuda in Ierusalem. ¹⁷ Then reproued I the rulers in Iuda, & sayde vnto them: what euell thyng is this that ye do, & breake the Saboth daye? ¹⁸ Dyd not youre fathers euen thus, & our God brought all thys plage vpon vs & vpon this cytie? And ye make the wrath more yet vpon Israel, in that ye breake the Saboth. ¹⁹ And it fortuned, that when the portes of Ierusalem beganne to be darke in the euenyng before the Saboth, I commaunded to shutt the gates, and charged, that they shuld not be opened tyll after the Saboth & some of my seruauntes set I at the gates, that there shulde no burthen be brought in on the Saboth daye. ²⁰ Then remayned the chapmen & marchauntes once or twyce ouer nyght without Ierusalem wyth all maner of wares. ²¹ Then reproued I them sore, and sayde vnto them: why tary ye all nyght about the wall? If ye do it once agayne, I wyll laye handes vpon you. From that tyme forth came they nomore on the Saboth. ²² And I sayde vnto the Leuites that they shulde clense them selues, and that they shulde come and kepe the gates, to halowe the Saboth daye. Thynke vpon me (O my God) concernyng this also, & spare me, accordyng to thy great mercy. ²³ And at the same tyme sawe I Iewes, that maried wyues of Asdod, of Ammon and of Moab, ²⁴ & their childen spake halfe in the speach of Asdod, & coulde not speake in the Iewes language, but by the tong myght a man perceaue euery people. ²⁵ Then I reproued them, & cursed them, & smote certayne men of them, & made them bare, and toke an ooth of them by God: Ye shal not geue your daughters vnto their sonnes, nether shall ye take their daughters vnto youre sonnes, or for youre selues. ²⁶ Dyd not Salomon the kyng of Israel synne for soch? and yet among many Heythen was there no kynge lyke him, whych was deare vnto his God, & God made him kynge ouer all Israel, & yet neuertheles, outlandysh wemen caused him to synne? ²⁷ Shall we then obeye vnto you, to do all this great euell, & to transgresse agaynst oure God, and marye straunge wyues? ²⁸ And one of the children of Iehoiada the sonne of Eliasib the hye preast, had made a contracte with Sanabalat the Horonite: but I chaced him from me. ²⁹ (O my God) thynke thou vpon them that defyle the presthode, & the couenaunt of the presthode & of the Leuites. ³⁰ Thus clensed I them from all soch as were outlandish, and appoynted the courses of the preastes & Leuites, euery one in his office, ³¹ & to offre the wod at tymes appoynted, and the fyrst frutes. Thinke thou vpon me (O my God) for the best.

⁵ But the Lord came downe, to se the cytie and tower whych the chyldren of men buylded.

²² And he left of talkynge with hym, & departed vp from Abraham.
