And they hated hym yet the more, because of hys dreames, and of his wordes. ⁹ And he dreamed yet another dreame and tolde it his brethren sayinge: beholde, I haue had one dreame more: me thought the sonne and the moone & .xj. starres made obeysaunce to me. ¹⁰ And when he had tolde it vnto his father and hys brethren, hys father rebuked him & sayde vnto him: what is thys dreame which thou hast dreamed: shall I & thy mother and thy brethren come to fall on the grounde before the? ¹¹ And hys brethren hated him, but hys father noted the sayinge. ¹² Hys brethren also went to kepe their fathers shepe in Sichem, ¹³ and Israel sayde vnto Ioseph: do not thy brethren kepe in Sichem? come, and I wyll sende the to them. He answered here am I. ¹⁴ And he sayde vnto him: goo and see whether it be well with thy brethren and the shepe, and brynge me worde agayne. And so he sent him out of the vale of Hebron and he went to Sichem. ¹⁵ And a certayne man founde hym, and beholde he was wandrynge out of hys waye in the felde, and the man asked him: what sekest thou? ¹⁶ He answered: I seke my brethren, tell me I praye the where they kepe shepe. ¹⁷ And the man sayde, they are departed hence, for I herde them saye: let vs goo vnto Dothan. Thus went Ioseph after his brethren, and founde them in Dothan. ¹⁸ And when they sawe him a farre of before he came at them, they toke councell agaynst him, for to sley hym. ¹⁹ For one sayde to another: Beholde this dreamer commeth: ²⁰ come nowe therfore and let vs sley hym and cast hym in to some pytt, and we wyll saye a wycked beast hath deuoured hym, and we shall se what wyll come of hys dreames. ²¹ When Ruben hearde that, he ryd him out of their handes and sayde, we wyll not kyll hym. ²² And Ruben sayde moreouer vnto them, shede not his bloude, but cast him into thys pytt that is in the wyldernes, and laye no hande vpon him: Namely, that he myght rydd him out of their handes & delyuer him to hys father agayne. ²³ And it happened that whan Ioseph was come vnto hys brethren, they strypte him out of his coot, hys party coloured coote that was vpon hym, ²⁴ and they toke hym and cast hym into an emptye pytt: Wherin was no water. ²⁵ And they satt them downe to eate brede. And as they lyft vp their eyes and loked aboute, there came a companye of Ismaelytes from Gilead, and their camels laden with spicery, baulme, and myrre, and were goynge downe to cary it into Egypte. ²⁶ And Iuda sayde vnto his brethren: what auayleth it yf we sley oure brother, and kepe hys bloude secrett? ²⁷ come on and let vs sell hym to the Ismaelytes, and let not oure hande be vpon hym: for he is oure brother and oure fleshe. And hys brethren were content. ²⁸ Than as the Madianites marchaunt men passed by, they drewe and lyft Ioseph out of the pytt and solde him vnto the Ismaelytes for .xx. peces of syluer. And they brought him into Egypte. ²⁹ And when Ruben came agayne vnto the pytt & founde not Ioseph there, he rent his cloothes ³⁰ and went agayne vnto his brethren sayinge: the lad is not yonder, and whether shall I goo? ³¹ And they toke Iosephs coote and kylled a goote, & dypped the coote in the bloude. ³² And they sent that partye coloured coote, and brought it vnto their father and sayde: Thys haue we founde: se whether it be thy sonnes coote or no. ³³ And he knewe it sayinge, it is my sonnes coote, a wycked beast hath deuoured hym, Ioseph is rent in peces. ³⁴ And Iacob rent hys cloothes, and put sacke clothe aboute his loynes, and sorowed for his sonne a longe season. ³⁵ But all his sonnes and all hys doughters rose vp to comforte him. Neuertheles he wolde not be comforted, but sayde: I wyll go downe into the graue vnto my sonne, mourninge. And thus hys father wepte for hym. ³⁶ And the Madianytes solde hym in Egypte vnto Putiphar a Lord of Pharaos, and his chefe Stewarde.

¹ Ioseph was brought vnto Egypte, and Putiphar a Lorde of Pharaos (& his chefe stewarde an Egyptian) bought him of the Ismaelytes which had brought him thyther. ² And God was with Ioseph, & he became a luckye man, continuynge in the house of his master the Egyptian. ³ And his master sawe that God was with him, & that God made all that he dyd to prosper in his hande. ⁴ And Ioseph founde grace in hys masters syghte, and serued him. And made hym rular of hys house, and put all that he had in his hande. ⁵ And it fortuned from the tyme that he had made him rular ouer hys house and ouer all that he had, the Lorde blessed the Egyptyans house for Iosephs sake, and the blessynge of the Lorde was vpon all that he had: in the house, and in the felde. ⁶ And therfore he left all that he had in Iosephs hande, and loked vpon nothynge that was wt hym, saue only on the bread whych he dyd eate. And Iosep was a goodly persone & a well fauored. ⁷ And it fortuned after thys, that his masters wyfe cast hyr eyes vpon Ioseph and sayde: come lye with me. ⁸ But he refused, and sayde to hys masters wyfe: Beholde, my master woteth not what he hath in the house with me, and hath commytted all that he hath to my hande. ⁹ There is no man greater in the house than I, Neyther hath he kepte any thynge from me, but only the, because thou art hys wyfe. Howe than can I do this great wyckednes, and synne agaynst God? ¹⁰ And after thys maner spake she to Ioseph daye by daye: but he harkened not vnto her, to slepe nere her, or to be in her company. ¹¹ And it fortuned on a certayne conuenient daye, that Ioseph entred into the house, to do hys busynes: and there was none of the housholde by, in the house. ¹² And she caught him by the garment sayinge: come slepe with me. And he lefte hys garment in hyr hande and fled, and gott hym out. And it chaunced. ¹³ When she sawe that he had lefte his garment in hyr hande, and was fled out. ¹⁴ She called vnto the men of hir house, and tolde them, sayinge: Se, he hath brought in an Hebrewe vnto vs to do vs shame: for he came in to me, for to haue slept wyth me. And I begane to crye wyth a lowde voyce. ¹⁵ And when he hearde that I lyfte vp my voyce & cryed, he left hys garment wt me, and fled awaye, and got him out. ¹⁶ And she layed vp hys garment by her, vntyll hyr Lorde came home. ¹⁷ And she tolde him with these wordes sayinge: Thys Hebrues seruaunte whych thou hast brought vnto vs, came into me to do me shame. ¹⁸ But as soone as I lyft vp my voyce and cryed, he left hys garment wyth me and fled out. ¹⁹ When his master. hearde the wordes of hys wyfe whych she tolde hym sayinge: after this maner dyd thy seruaunte to me, he waxed wrooth. ²⁰ And the master toke Ioseph & put hym in pryson euen in to the place where the kynges prysoners laye bounde. And there continued he in preson, ²¹ but the Lorde was wyth Ioseph, and shewed hym mercye, and gote hym fauoure in the syghte of the Lorde of the preson. ²² And the keper of the preson commytted to Iosephs hande all the presoners that were in the preson house. And whatsoeuer was done there, that dyd he. ²³ And the keper of the preson loked vnto nothynge that was vnder his hande, seynge that the Lorde was with him. For whatsoeuer he dyd, the Lorde made it to prosper.

²⁰ And vnto Ioseph in the lande of Egypte were borne: Manasses and Ephraim whych Asnath the daughter of Putiphar preast of On bare vnto hym.

¹ After these deades it happened, that a messaunger sayde vnto Ioseph: thy father is sycke. And he toke wt him his .ii. sonnes, Manasses & Ephraim. ² Then was it sayd vnto Iacob: beholde, thy sonne Ioseph commeth vnto the. And Israel toke his strength vnto hym, & satt vp on the bedd, 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. ⁵ And now thy .ii. sonnes Manasses & Ephraim which were borne vnto the in the lande of Egypte, before I came to the in to Egypte, are myne: euen as Ruben & Symeon are myne. ⁶ And the children which thou hast gotten after them, shalbe thyne awne: & shalbe called after the names of theyr brethren in theyr enheritaunce. ⁷ And whan I came from Mesopotamia, Rahel dyed vpon my hand in the lande of Canaan, by the waye: when ther was but a feldes brede to come vnto Ephrat. And I buryed her there in the waye to Ephrat. The same is Bethlehem. ⁸ And Israel behelde Iosephs sonnes and sayde: what are these? ⁹ Ioseph sayd vnto his father: they are my sonnes which God hathe geuen me here. And he sayde: oh, brynge them to me, & let me blesse them. ¹⁰ And the eyes of Israel were dymme for age, so that he coulde not well see. And he broughte them to hym, and he kyssed them and embraced them. ¹¹ And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph: I had not thought to haue sene thy face, and yet loo, God hath shewed it me and also thy seed. ¹² And Ioseph toke them awaye from his lappe, & worshypped on the grounde before hym. ¹³ Than toke Ioseph them both: Ephraim with his ryghte hande towarde Israels left hande, & Manasses wt hys left hande, towarde Israels ryghte hande, & brought them vnto hym. ¹⁴ And Israel stretched out hys ryghte hande & layde it vpon Ephraims heade which was the yonger, & hys lyfte hande vpon Manasses heed, gydinge hys handes wysely, for Manasses was the elder. ¹⁵ And he blessed Ioseph & sayde: God, before whome my fathers Abraham & Isahac dyd walke, God whych hath fedd me all my lyfe longe vnto thys daye, ¹⁶ And the angell whych hath delyuered me from all euyll, blesse these laddes: & let my name be named in them, & the name of my fathers Abraham & Isahac, & that they maye growe into a multitude in the myddes of the erth. ¹⁷ When Ioseph sawe that hys father layde hys ryghte hande vpon the heade of Ephraim, it displeased him. And he lyfte vp his fathers hande, to haue remoued it from Ephraims heade vnto Manasses heade, ¹⁸ & Ioseph sayde vnto hys father: Not so my father, for thys is the eldest. Put thy ryght hande vpon hys heade. ¹⁹ And hys father wolde not, but sayde: I knowe it well my sonne, I knowe it well. He shalbe also a people & shalbe great. But hys yonger brother shalbe greatter than he, and hys seed shall be full of people. ²⁰ And he blessed them that daye and sayde: In the let Israel blesse & saye: God make the as Ephraim and as Manasses. And sett Ephraim before Manasses. ²¹ And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph: beholde, I dye. And God shalbe wyth you and brynge you agayne vnto the lande of youre fathers. ²² Moreouer I haue geuen vnto the, a porcyon of lande aboue thy brethren, which I gatt out of the hande of the Amorite in my swerde and in my bowe.

²² That florysshynge childe Ioseph, that plenteous chylde by the well syde, the daughters ran vpon the wall ²³ They haue prouoked hym, and shot hym thrugh with dartes. The archers haue enuyed him: ²⁴ But hys bowe abode fast, and the armes of hys handes were made stronge, by the handes of the myghtye God of Iacob. Out of hym shall come an herde man, a stone in Israel: 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. ²⁶ The blessynges of thy father were stronger then the blessynges of my elders, vnto the vtmost of the hylles of the worlde, and they shalbe on the heade of Ioseph, and on the toppe of the heade of hym that was separat from his brethren.

All that are males, from a moneth olde and aboue shalt thou nombre. ¹⁶ And Moses nombred them, accordynge to the commaundement of the Lord, and as he had commaunded. ¹⁷ And these were the chyldren of Leui in their names: Gerson, & Cahath and Merari. ¹⁸ And these are the names of the chyldren of Gerson in their kynredes: Libni and Semei. ¹⁹ The sonnes of Cahath in their kynredes: Amram, Iezehar, Hebron & Oziel. ²⁰ And the sonnes of Merari in their kynredes Maheli and Musi.

And the straunger that commeth nye, shall be slayne. ³⁹ And the hole summe of the Leuites whych Moses and Aaron nombred, at the commaundement of the Lorde thorowe out their kynredes (euen all the males from a moneth olde and aboue) was .xxij. thousande. ⁴⁰ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: Nombre all the fyrst borne that are males amonge tbe chyldren of Israel (from a moneth olde and aboue) and take the nombre of their names. ⁴¹ And thou shalt apoynte the Leuites to me (for I am the Lorde,) for all the fyrstborne of the chyldren of Israel, and the catell of the Leuites, for all the fyrst gendred of the catell of the chyldren of Israel. ⁴² And Moses nombred as the Lorde commaunded hym, all the fyrst borne of the chyldren of Israel. ⁴³ And all the fyrst borne males rehearsed by their names, (from a moneth olde and aboue, accordynge to their nombre) were .xxij. thousande .ij. hundred and .lxxiij. ⁴⁴ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayinge: ⁴⁵ take the Leuites for all the fyrst borne of the chyldren of Israel, and the catell of the Leuites for their catell: and the Leuites shalbe myne. I am the Lorde. ⁴⁶ And for the redemynge of the two hundred and .lxxiij.

¹ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses and Aaron sayinge: ² Take the summe of the chyldren of Cahath from amonge the sonnes of Leui, after theyr kynredes and houses of their fathers, ³ (from .xxx. yere and aboue vntyll fyftie) all that are able to go furth to the warre, for to do the worke in the tabernacle of wytnesse. ⁴ The offyce of the chyldren of kahath in the tabernacle of wytnesse, is moost holy. ⁵ And when the hoste remoueth, Aaron & hys sonnes shall come & take doune the vayle, that hangeth betwene, & wrappe the Arke of wytnesse in it: ⁶ and shall put theron a couerynge of taxus skynnes, & shall sprede vpon it a cloth that is altogether of yelow silke, and put in the barres therof. ⁷ And vpon the shewe table, they shall sprede abrode a cloth of yelowe sylke, & put theron the dysshes, spones, flatpeces, and pottes to powre wyth, and there shalbe breed theron continually: ⁸ & they shall spreade vpon them a couerynge of purple, and couer the same with a couerynge of taxus skynnes, and put in the barres therof. ⁹ And they shall take a cloth of yelow silke, and couer the candelstycke of lyght, with his lampes, tonges, and snoffers, and all the oyle vessels which they occupye aboute it, ¹⁰ & they shall put both it, and all the vessell therof within a couerynge of taxus skynnes, & put it vpon a barre. ¹¹ And vpon the golden alter they shall sprede a cloth of yelowe sylke, and couer it with a couerynge of taxus skynnes, & put in the barres therof. ¹² And they shall take all the thynges (whych they occupye to mynistre with in the holy place) and put a cloth of yelowe sylke vpon them, and couer them wt a couerynge of taxus skynnes, and put them on a barre. ¹³ And they shall take awaye the asshes from the alter, and sprede a purple cloth theron: and put vpon it all the vessels therof, ¹⁴ that they mynistre wythall: euen the cole pannes, the fleshe hokes, the shouels, the basens and the other vessels of the alter, and they shall sprede vpon it a couerynge of taxus skynnes, and put in the barres of it. ¹⁵ And when Aaron and hys sonnes haue made an ende of couerynge the holy thinges, and all the vessels of the sanctuarye (agaynst that the hoste remoue) then the sonnes of Cahath shall come in for to beare, but they shall not touche any holy thynge, least they dye. And thys is the charge of the sonnes of Cahath in the Tabernacle of wytnesse. ¹⁶ And to the offyce of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the Preaste pertayneth the oyle for the lyghte, the swete cens, the dayly meatoffrynge, & the anoyntynge oyle, and the ouersyghte of all the tabernacle, and of all that therin is, both in the sanctuary and in all the vessels therof. ¹⁷ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses and Aaron, sayinge: ¹⁸ Ye shall not destroye the trybe of the kynred of the Cahathites, from amonge the Leuites. ¹⁹ But thus do vnto them, that they maye lyue and not dye, when they go vnto the most holy thynges: Let Aaron and his sonnes go in, and take them downe, to euery one after hys seruyce, and after hys charge. ²⁰ But let them not go in, to se when the the holy thynges are folden vp, lest they dye. ²¹ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayinge. ²² Take also the summe of the chyldren of Gerson, thorowe out the houses of their fathers, and thorowe out their kynredes: ²³ from .xxx. yere and aboue, vntyll .l. shalt thou nombre them, all that are able to goo forth to the warre for to do seruyce in the tabernacle of wytnesse. ²⁴ And this is the seruyce of the kynred of the Gersonites, to serue and to beare. ²⁵ They shall beare the curtaynes of the dwellynge, and the rouffe of the Tabernacle of wytnesse, hys couerynge, & the couerynge of taxus skynnes, that is an hye aboue vpon it, and the hangynge of the dore which is in the tabernacle of wytnesse: ²⁶ & the hangynges of the courte, & the hangynge that is in the entrynge in of the gate of the courte rounde about the dwellynge & the altare, with the cordes, & all the instrumentes that serue vnto them, and all that is made for to serue them. ²⁷ At the mouth of Aaron and hys sonnes, shall all the seruyce of the chyldren of the Gersonytes be done, in all their charges and in all their seruyce, and ye shall nombre vnto them all their burthens to kepe. ²⁸ And thys is the seruyce of the kynred of the chyldren of Gerson in the Tabernacle of wytnesse, & their watche shalbe vnder the hande of Ithamar the sonne of Aaron the Preaste. ²⁹ And thou shalt nombre the sonnes of Merari after their kynredes, & after the houses of their fathers: ³⁰ from .xxx. yeres & aboue vnto .l. shalt thou nombre them, euery one that is able to go forth to the warre, to do the seruyce of the Tabernacle of wytnesse. ³¹ And thys is the charge that they must wayte vpon, accordynge to all their seruyce in the tabernacle of wytnesse.

And thou shalt cleanse them and waue them, ¹⁶ for they are geuen and delyuered vnto me from amonge the chyldren of Israel, for such as open euery wombe: euen for the fyrst borne of all the chyldren of Israel haue I taken them vnto me. ¹⁷ For all the fyrstborne of the chyldren of Israel are myne both man and beest: sens the daye that I smote euery fyrst borne in the lande of Egypte, I sanctifyed them for my selfe: ¹⁸ and I haue taken the Leuites for all the fyrst borne of the chyldren of Israel, ¹⁹ and haue geuen the Leuites as a gyfte vnto Aaron & hys sonnes from amonge the chyldren of Israel, to do the seruyce of the chyldren of Israel in the Tabernacle of wytnesse, to make an attonement for the chyldren of Israel, that there be no plage amonge the chyldren of Israel, yf the chyldren of Israel come nye vnto the holy thynges. ²⁰ And Moses and Aaron and all the congregacyon of che chyldren of Israel dyd with the Leuytes, accordynge vnto all that the Lorde commaunded Moses concernynge the Leuytes: euen so dyd the chyldren of Israel vnto them. ²¹ And the Leuites were purifyed, and washed their clothes.

⁶² And after theyr nombres, they were foure and twentye thousande, all males from a moneth olde and aboue. For they were not nombred amonge the chyldren of Israel, because there was no enheritaunce geuen them amonge the children of Israel.

¹⁸ And when the Lorde had made an ende of comening with Moses vpon the mounte Sinai, he gaue him two tables of witnes: euen tables of stone, wrytten with the fynger of God.

²⁶ and he went and stode in the gate of the hoste, and sayde: If any man pertayne vnto the Lorde, let him come to me. And all the sonnes of Leui gathered them selues together, ²⁷ & came vnto him. And he sayde vnto them: Thus saith the Lorde God of Israel: put euery man his sweard by his syde, & go in and out, from gate to gate thorowout the hooste: and sleye euery man, his brother and euery man hys companyon, and euery man hys neyghboure. ²⁸ And the chyldren of Leui dyd as Moses had sayde. And there fell of the people the same daye about .iij.M. men. ²⁹ And Moses sayde: fyll your handes vnto the Lorde this daye, euery man vpon hys sonne and vpon his brother and that ther maye be geuen you a blessing this daye.

²¹ Thys is the summe of the habitacyon of witnesse, as it was counted accordynge to the commaundement of Moses for the office of the Leuytes by the hande of Ithamar sonne to Aaron the preast.

⁵³ But the leuites shall pytche rounde aboute the tabernacle of wytnesse, that there be no wrath vpon the congregacyon of the chyldren of Israel, and the leuites shall kepe the watch of the tabernacle of witnesse.

¹⁷ And the tabernacle of wytnesse shall go wyth the hoste of the leuites, in the myddes of the hostes: And as they lye in their tentes, euen so shall they procede in the iourney, euery man in hys degree, and vnder theyr owne standerdes.

¹ These are the generacyons of Aaron and Moses, in the daye that the Lord spake wt Moses in mount Synai, ² & these are the names of the sonnes of Aaron: Nadad the eldest sone, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. ³ These are the names of the sonnes of Aaron which were Preastes anoynted, & whose hande was consecrated to minystre. ⁴ And Nadab and Abihu dyed before the Lorde whan they offred straunge fyre before the Lorde in the wyldernesse of Synai, and had no chyldren. And Eleazar and Ithamar mynistred in the syght of Aaron their father. ⁵ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, sayinge: ⁶ brynge the trybe of Leui, and set them before Aaron the Preast that they maye serue hym and wayte vpon hy ⁷ and vpon all the multitude, before the tabernacle of witnesse, to do the seruyce of the habitacyon. ⁸ They shall kepe all the apparell of the tabernacle of wytnesse, and wayte vpon the chyldren of Israel, to do the seruyce of the habitacion. ⁹ And thou shalt geue the Leuites vnto Aaron and hys sonnes, for they are geuen and delyuered vnto him of the chyldren of Israel. ¹⁰ And thou shalt appoynte Aaron & hys sonnes to wayte on their Preastes offyce: and the straunger that commeth nye, shall be slayne.

²³ And the kynredes of the Gersonytes shall pitche behynde the habitacyon west warde. ²⁴ The captayne & most auncient of the house of the Gersonites, was Eliasaph the sonne of Lael. ²⁵ And vnder the kepynge of the chyldren of Gerson in the tabernacle of witnesse was the habitacyon and the tente, the couerynge therof, and the hangynge of the dore of the tabernacle of wytnesse, ²⁶ and the hangynges of the courte, and the curtayne of the dore of the courte: which is rounde about the Tabernacle, and the alter, and the cordes of it for all the seruyce therof. ²⁷ And of Cahath came the kynred of the Amramites, and the kynred of the Iezeharites: the kynred of the Hebronites, and the kynred of the Ozielites: ²⁸ These are the kynredes of the Cahathites. And the nombre of all the males from a moneth olde and aboue, was .viij. thousande and syxe hundred: and these shall kepe the thynges that are to be kepte in the holy place. ²⁹ And the kynred of the chyldren of Cahath shall pytche on the southsyde of the Tabernacle. ³⁰ The captayne and most auncient of the house of the kynred of the Cahathites, was Elisaphan the sonne of Oziel, ³¹ and vnder their kepynge was the arcke, the table, the candelstyck, and the alters, and all the vessels of the sanctuary that they mynistre in, and the vayle, and whatsoeuer belonged to the mynistracyon therof. ³² And Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the Preaste, was captayne ouer all the captaynes of the Leuites, and had the ouersyghte of them that wayted vpon the sanctuary. ³³ And of Merari came the kynred of the Mahelites, and the kynred of the Musites: These are the kynredes of Merari. ³⁴ And the summe of them accordynge to the nombre of all the males, from a moneth olde and aboue was .vj. thousande and .ij. hundred. ³⁵ The captayne and the most auncient of their house that were of the kynred of Merari, was Zuriel the sonne of Abihael: and these shall pitche on the north syde of the tabernacle. ³⁶ And vnder the custody of the sonnes of Merari shalbe the bordes of the dwellynge, and the barres, pyllers and sockettes therof, all the vessell therof, and all that serueth therto: ³⁷ & the pyllers of the courte rounde aboute with their sockettes, their pynnes & their cordes. ³⁸ But on the forefront of the habitacyon before the Tabernacle of wytnesse eastwarde, shall Moses & Aaron and his sonnes pytche, and wayte to kepe the sanctuary, and to kepe the chyldren of Israel. And the straunger that commeth nye, shall be slayne.

¹⁵ And when Aaron and hys sonnes haue made an ende of couerynge the holy thinges, and all the vessels of the sanctuarye (agaynst that the hoste remoue) then the sonnes of Cahath shall come in for to beare, but they shall not touche any holy thynge, least they dye. And thys is the charge of the sonnes of Cahath in the Tabernacle of wytnesse.

²⁵ They shall beare the curtaynes of the dwellynge, and the rouffe of the Tabernacle of wytnesse, hys couerynge, & the couerynge of taxus skynnes, that is an hye aboue vpon it, and the hangynge of the dore which is in the tabernacle of wytnesse: ²⁶ & the hangynges of the courte, & the hangynge that is in the entrynge in of the gate of the courte rounde about the dwellynge & the altare, with the cordes, & all the instrumentes that serue vnto them, and all that is made for to serue them. ²⁷ At the mouth of Aaron and hys sonnes, shall all the seruyce of the chyldren of the Gersonytes be done, in all their charges and in all their seruyce, and ye shall nombre vnto them all their burthens to kepe. ²⁸ And thys is the seruyce of the kynred of the chyldren of Gerson in the Tabernacle of wytnesse, & their watche shalbe vnder the hande of Ithamar the sonne of Aaron the Preaste. ²⁹ And thou shalt nombre the sonnes of Merari after their kynredes, & after the houses of their fathers: ³⁰ from .xxx. yeres & aboue vnto .l. shalt thou nombre them, euery one that is able to go forth to the warre, to do the seruyce of the Tabernacle of wytnesse. ³¹ And thys is the charge that they must wayte vpon, accordynge to all their seruyce in the tabernacle of wytnesse. The bordes of the dwellynge, with the barres, pyllers, & sockettes therof, ³² and the pyllers that are rounde aboute the courte, wt their sockettes, pynnes & cordes, & withall the instrumentes of it, for all their seruyce. And by name ye shall reken the thynges that they must wayte vpon to beare. ³³ This is the seruice of the kynredes of the sonnes of Merari accordynge to all their offyce in the Tabernacle of wytnesse vnder the hande of Ithamar the sonne of Aaron the Preaste.

²¹ The Cahathites also went forewarde and bare the sanctuarye, and the other dyd set vp the habitacion agaynst they came.

¹¹ And Moses lyfte vp hys hande, and with hys rodd he smote the rocke two tymes, and the water came oute aboundantly, and the multitude drancke and theyr beastes also.

¹ So when Dauid was olde and full of dayes, he made Salomon hys sonne kynge ouer Israel. ² And then he geathered togeather all the Lordes of Israel wyth the preastes and the Leuites. ³ And the Leuites were nombred from the age of .xxx. yeare and aboue, and the nombre and summe of them was .xxxviij. thousande men. ⁴ Of which .xxiiij. thousande were set to further the worcke of the house of the Lorde. And syxe thousande were offycers & Iudges. ⁵ Foure thousande were porters and foure thousande praysed the Lorde with soche instrumentes as was made to prayse wyth all. ⁶ And so Dauid put an ordre among them deuidinge them in partes. Of the children of Leui? Gerson, Cahath & Merari: ⁷ Of the Gersonites was Laadan & Semei. ⁸ The sonnes of Laadan the chefe was Iehiel, Zethan & Ioel, thre. ⁹ The sonnes of Semei: Selomith, Haziel, & Haran, thre. These were the auncient fathers of laadan. ¹⁰ And the sonnes of Semei were Iahath, Zina, Ieus & Beria: these foure were the sonnes of Semei. ¹¹ And Iahath was the chefe, Zina the seconde. But Ieus and Beria had not many sonnes, therfore they were in one rekenynge, accordyng to theyr fathers housholde rekened for one auncient housholde. ¹² The sonnes of Cahath: Amram, Izahar, Hebron and Uziel, foure. ¹³ The sonnes of Amram: Aaron & Moses. And Aaron was separated, to haue the rule of the holy thynges in the place moost holye, he and hys sonnes for euer: and to burne incense before the Lorde, and to mynistre vnto him, & to blesse in his name for euer. ¹⁴ Moses also the man of God, and his chyldren, were named wyth the trybe of Leui. ¹⁵ The sonnes of Moses: Gerson and Eliezer. ¹⁶ Of the sonnes of Gerzon: Sebuel was the chefe. ¹⁷ The sonnes of Eliezer: Rehabia the chefe. And Eliezer had none other sonnes: But the sonnes of Rehabia were very manye. ¹⁸ The sonnes of Izahar: Salomith, the chefe. ¹⁹ The sonnes of Hebron: Ieriahu the fyrst, Amaria the seconde, Iahaziel the thirde, and Iecameam the fourth. ²⁰ The sonnes of Uziel: Micha the fyrst, and Iesia the seconde. ²¹ The sonnes of Merari Mahli: and Musi. The sonnes of Mahli Eleazar and Cis. ²² And Eleazar dyed, and had no sonnes, but daughters, and their brethren the sonnes of Cis toke them. ²³ The sonnes of Musi: Mahli, Eder, & Ieremoth, thre. ²⁴ These are the chyldren of Leui after the houshold of theyr fathers, euen the auncient of the fathers according to theyr offyces, and after the nombre and somme of the names of them that dyd the worcke in the seruice of the house of the Lord, from the age of twentye yeares & aboue. ²⁵ And Dauid sayde: the Lorde God of Israel hath geuen rest vnto his people, that they maye dwell in Ierusalem for euer. ²⁶ That the Leuites also shuld nowe nomore beare the tabernacle & all the vesselles for the seruyce therof: ²⁷ for accordynge to the last wordes of Dauid, ²⁸ the Leuites were nombred from twentye yere and aboue, and their offyce was vnder the hande of the sonnes of Aaron, for the seruice of the house of the Lorde, in the courtes & celles, and in the purifyinge of all holye thynges, and in the worcke of the seruice of the house of God. ²⁹ In the shewe breed in the fyne flowre, in the meateofferinge, in the wafers of swete breed, in the fryinge panne, in the grydyron, and in all maner of measures and cyse, ³⁰ and to stande euery daye in the mornynge, to thanke and prayse the Lorde, and so lykewyse at euen. ³¹ And to offer all burntsacrifyces vnto the Lorde, in the Sabbothes, in the newe moones, & on the festfull dayes by nombre and custome continually (as they were commaunded) before the Lorde. ³² And that they shulde wayte on the tabernacle of wytnesse, and on the holy place, and on the sonnes of Aaron their brethren, in the seruice of the house of the Lorde.

¹ And so Dauid and the captaynes of the hoste appoynted out to do seruyce, the sonnes of Asaph Heman and Ieduthun, whan they dyd prophesye wyth harpes, psalteries and simbales. And there was a multitude of the men that were appoynted to the seruyce and mynistracyon. ² Of the sonnes of Asaph: Zaccur, Ioseph, Nathania and Aserela that wayted on Asaph, whych prophesyed by the kynge. ³ Of Ieduthun: the sonnes of Ieduthun: Gedeliahu, Zeri, Iesaiahu, Hasabiahu, and Mathithiahu syxe, vnder the handes of theyr father Ieduthun, whych prophesyed wyth a harpe, for to geue thankes & prayses vnto the lord. ⁴ Of Heman the sonnes of Heman: Buklahu, Mathaniahu, Uziel, Zebuel, Ierimoth, Hanania, Hanani, Eliatha, Gedalthi, Romanthi, Ezer, Iosbekasa, malothi. Hothir, & Mahazioth. ⁵ All these were the sonnes of Heman which was the kynges Sear in the wordes of God to lyfte vp the horne of the regall dignitie. And God gaue to Heman .xiiij. sonnes and the daughters. ⁶ All these also were at the hande of their father synging in the house of the Lorde wt simbales, psalteries & harpes, whan Asaph Ieduthun and Heman executed the seruyce in the house of God, at the kinges hande. ⁷ And the multitude of them wyth their brethren that were instructe in the songes of the Lord: euen all that were connyng, were two hundred foure skore & eyght. ⁸ And they cast Lottes among them selues howe they shulde wayte as well for the small as for the greate, for the scoler as well as for the skole master. ⁹ And the fyrst lot in Asaph fell to Ioseph. The seconde to Gedeliahu (wyth his brethren and sonnes) whych men were twelue. ¹⁰ The thirde fell to Zaccur wyth hys sonnes & brethren beyng twelue persones. ¹¹ The fourth to Izri with his sonnes and brethren, twelue personnes. ¹² The fyfte to Nathaniahu with his sonnes and brethren, twelue personnes. ¹³ The syxte to Bukiahu with hys sonnes and brethren, twelue personnes. ¹⁴ The seuenth to Iesarela with hys sonnes & brethren, twelue personnes. ¹⁵ The eyght to Iesaiahu with his sonnes & brethren, twelue personnes. ¹⁶ The nynth to Mathaniahu with hys sonnes and brethren, twelue personnes. ¹⁷ The tenth to Simei with his sonnes and brethren, twelue personnes. ¹⁸ The eleuenth to Azarael wyth hys sonnes and brethren, twelue personnes. ¹⁹ The twelueth to Hasabia wyth hys sonnes and brethren, twelue personnes. ²⁰ The thyrtenth to Subael wyth hys sonnes & brethren twelue personnes. ²¹ The fourtenth to Mathathiahu wt hys sonnes & brethren twelue personnes: ²² The fyftenth to Ieremoth wt his sonnes & brethren, twelue personnes. ²³ The syxtenth to Hananiahu wyth his sonnes and brethren, twelue personnes. ²⁴ The .xvii. to Iosbekasa wyth his sonnes, and brethren twelue personnes. ²⁵ The eyghtenth to Hanani with hys sonnes & brethren, twelue personnes. ²⁶ The nynetenth to Malothi with hys sonnes & brethren, twelue personnes.

²⁵ and weyed them the syluer and golde, & vessels that were appoynted for the house of oure God, which the kynge and his councellers and his Lordes, and all Israell that were there at hande, had geuen together. ²⁶ And I weyed vnto their hande sixe hundred & fyftie talentes of syluer, & in syluer vessel an hundred talentes, & in golde an hundred talentes: ²⁷ twentie basens of golde of a thousande peces, and two costly ornamentes of good brasse, as cleare as golde: ²⁸ and I sayde vnto them: Ye are consecrate vnto the Lorde, lyke as the vessels are holy also, and the golde and syluer are geuen of a good wyll vnto the Lorde God of youre fathers. ²⁹ Watch ye, and kepe it: for ye shall weye it downe before the chefe preastes and Leuites, and auncient fathers of Israel at Ierusalem in the treasuries of the house of the Lord. ³⁰ Then toke the preastes and Leuites that weyed syluer and golde and vessel, to bringe it to Ierusalem, vnto the house of oure God.

³³ But on the fourth daye was the syluer and golde and vessell weyed in the house of oure God, by the hande of Meremoth the sonne of Uria the preaste, and with hym was Eleazar the sonne of Phinehes, & with them was Iosabad the sonne of Iesua, and Noadia the sonne of Benoi the Leuites. ³⁴ According to the nombre and weyght of euery one, was the weyght all wrytten vp at the same tyme.

⁸ The Leuytes were these: Iesua, Bennui, Cadmil, Sarabia, Iuda and Mathania which was ouer the offyce of thankesgeuynge, he and hys brethren:

²² And in the tyme of Eliasib: Ioiada, Iohanan & Iadua, were the chefe fathers amonge the Leuites and the preastes, written vnder the raygne of Darius the Persian.

⁴⁷ In the tyme of Zorobabel & Nehemia, dyd all they of Israel, geue porcions vnto the syngers and porters, euery daye hys porcion, and they gaue tythes vnto the Leuites: and the Leuites gaue tythes agayne, vnto the children of Aaron.

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:

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.

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.

⁴ For thyther the trybes go vp, euen the trybes of the Lorde: to testifye vnto Israel, to geue thanckes vnto the name of the Lorde.

¹⁰ There shall no straunger eate of the holy thynge, nether a gest of the preastes, neyther shall an hyred seruaunte eate of the holy thinge. ¹¹ But yf the Preaste bye any soule wyth money, he shall eate of it, lyke as he that is borne in hys house, shall they eate of hys bread. ¹² If the Preastes daughter also be maryed vnto a straunger, she maye not eate of the halowed heue offrynges. ¹³ Notwythstandynge yf the Preastes daughter be a wedowe or deuorsed & haue no chylde, but is returned vnto her fathers house agayne, she shall eate of her fathers bread, as well as she dyd in her youth. But there shall no straunger eate therof.

¹⁰ And thou shalt appoynte Aaron & hys sonnes to wayte on their Preastes offyce: and the straunger that commeth nye, shall be slayne.

³⁸ But on the forefront of the habitacyon before the Tabernacle of wytnesse eastwarde, shall Moses & Aaron and his sonnes pytche, and wayte to kepe the sanctuary, and to kepe the chyldren of Israel. And the straunger that commeth nye, shall be slayne.

¹ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses and Aaron sayinge: ² Take the summe of the chyldren of Cahath from amonge the sonnes of Leui, after theyr kynredes and houses of their fathers, ³ (from .xxx. yere and aboue vntyll fyftie) all that are able to go furth to the warre, for to do the worke in the tabernacle of wytnesse. ⁴ The offyce of the chyldren of kahath in the tabernacle of wytnesse, is moost holy. ⁵ And when the hoste remoueth, Aaron & hys sonnes shall come & take doune the vayle, that hangeth betwene, & wrappe the Arke of wytnesse in it: ⁶ and shall put theron a couerynge of taxus skynnes, & shall sprede vpon it a cloth that is altogether of yelow silke, and put in the barres therof. ⁷ And vpon the shewe table, they shall sprede abrode a cloth of yelowe sylke, & put theron the dysshes, spones, flatpeces, and pottes to powre wyth, and there shalbe breed theron continually: ⁸ & they shall spreade vpon them a couerynge of purple, and couer the same with a couerynge of taxus skynnes, and put in the barres therof. ⁹ And they shall take a cloth of yelow silke, and couer the candelstycke of lyght, with his lampes, tonges, and snoffers, and all the oyle vessels which they occupye aboute it, ¹⁰ & they shall put both it, and all the vessell therof within a couerynge of taxus skynnes, & put it vpon a barre. ¹¹ And vpon the golden alter they shall sprede a cloth of yelowe sylke, and couer it with a couerynge of taxus skynnes, & put in the barres therof. ¹² And they shall take all the thynges (whych they occupye to mynistre with in the holy place) and put a cloth of yelowe sylke vpon them, and couer them wt a couerynge of taxus skynnes, and put them on a barre. ¹³ And they shall take awaye the asshes from the alter, and sprede a purple cloth theron: and put vpon it all the vessels therof, ¹⁴ that they mynistre wythall: euen the cole pannes, the fleshe hokes, the shouels, the basens and the other vessels of the alter, and they shall sprede vpon it a couerynge of taxus skynnes, and put in the barres of it. ¹⁵ And when Aaron and hys sonnes haue made an ende of couerynge the holy thinges, and all the vessels of the sanctuarye (agaynst that the hoste remoue) then the sonnes of Cahath shall come in for to beare, but they shall not touche any holy thynge, least they dye. And thys is the charge of the sonnes of Cahath in the Tabernacle of wytnesse. ¹⁶ And to the offyce of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the Preaste pertayneth the oyle for the lyghte, the swete cens, the dayly meatoffrynge, & the anoyntynge oyle, and the ouersyghte of all the tabernacle, and of all that therin is, both in the sanctuary and in all the vessels therof. ¹⁷ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses and Aaron, sayinge: ¹⁸ Ye shall not destroye the trybe of the kynred of the Cahathites, from amonge the Leuites. ¹⁹ But thus do vnto them, that they maye lyue and not dye, when they go vnto the most holy thynges: Let Aaron and his sonnes go in, and take them downe, to euery one after hys seruyce, and after hys charge. ²⁰ But let them not go in, to se when the the holy thynges are folden vp, lest they dye. ²¹ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayinge. ²² Take also the summe of the chyldren of Gerson, thorowe out the houses of their fathers, and thorowe out their kynredes: ²³ from .xxx. yere and aboue, vntyll .l. shalt thou nombre them, all that are able to goo forth to the warre for to do seruyce in the tabernacle of wytnesse. ²⁴ And this is the seruyce of the kynred of the Gersonites, to serue and to beare.

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.

¹⁷ And the habitacyon was taken downe: and the sonnes of Gerson & Merari went forth bearyng the habitacyon. ¹⁸ And the hoost of Ruben went forth with their standart and armyes, whose captayne was Elizur the sonne of Sedeur. ¹⁹ And ouer the hooste of the trybe of the chyldren of Simeon was Salamiel the sonne of Suri Saddai. ²⁰ And ouer the hoost of the trybe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the sonne of Deguel. ²¹ The Cahathites also went forewarde and bare the sanctuarye, and the other dyd set vp the habitacion agaynst they came.

⁴⁰ to be a remembraunce vnto the chyldren of Israel, that no straunger which is not of the seed of Aaron, come nere to offer cens before the Lord, that it happen not vnto hym lyke as vnto Corah and hys companye, as the Lorde sayde of him by the hande of Moses.

²² Neither must the chyldren of Israel henceforth come nye the tabernacle of witnesse, lest they beare synne and dye.

¹⁹ And he plaged the men of Bethsames, because they had sene the arcke of the Lorde. And he slue amonge the people fiftye thousande and thre score and ten men. And the other people lamented, because the Lorde had slayne the people with so great a slaughter.

⁷ And the Lorde was wroth wyth Uza, and God smote him in the same place for his fault, and there he dyed before the Arcke of God.

² euery man of the children of Israel shall pytch vnder his owne standerd & vnder the armes of theyr fathers houses: on the other syde & rounde aboute the tabernacle of wytnesse shall they pytch.

³⁴ And the chyldren of Israel dyd accordynge to all that the Lorde commaunded Moses, for so they pytched with their standerdes, & so they iourneyd thorowe out their kynredes, & thorowe out the housholdes of their fathers.

¹ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, saying: ² Make the two trompettes of syluer: of an whole pece shalt thou make them, that thou mayst vse them to call the congregacyon together, and when the hoost shall iorneye. ³ Therfore shall they blowe with them, that all the multitude maye resorte to the before the dore of the tabernacle of witnes. ⁴ And yf they blowe but one trompet, then the princes which are heedes ouer the thousandes of Israel shall come vnto the. ⁵ But yf ye trompe, the hostes that lye on the east partes shall go forward. ⁶ And ye trompe the second tyme, the hoost that lyeth on the south syde shall take their iorneye: for they shall trompe when they take their iorneyes. ⁷ But when the congregacion is to be gathred together they shall blowe only, and not trompe. ⁸ And the sonnes of Aaron the preast shal blowe wt their trompettes, & ye shall haue them as a lawe for euer in your generacions. ⁹ And yf ye go to warre in your lande against your enemyes that vexe you, ye shall blowe with the trompettes: and ye shalbe remembred before the Lorde your God, to be saued from your enemies. ¹⁰ Also in the daye of your gladnes, and in your feaste dayes, and in the begynning of your monethes, ye shall blow the trompettes ouer your burntsacrifyces & peaceoffringes, that they maye be a remembraunce for you before youre God. I am the Lorde youre God. 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. ¹³ And the fyrst toke their iorney at the mouth of the Lorde, by the hande of Moses. ¹⁴ In the first place went the standart of the hooste of Iuda, according to their armies, whose captayne was Nahasson the sonne of Aminadab. ¹⁵ And ouer the hoost of the tribe of the children of Isachar, was Nathanel the sonne of Zuar. ¹⁶ And ouer the hooste of the trybe of the children of Zabulon, was Eliab the sonne of Helon. ¹⁷ And the habitacyon was taken downe: and the sonnes of Gerson & Merari went forth bearyng the habitacyon. ¹⁸ And the hoost of Ruben went forth with their standart and armyes, whose captayne was Elizur the sonne of Sedeur. ¹⁹ And ouer the hooste of the trybe of the chyldren of Simeon was Salamiel the sonne of Suri Saddai. ²⁰ And ouer the hoost of the trybe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the sonne of Deguel. ²¹ The Cahathites also went forewarde and bare the sanctuarye, and the other dyd set vp the habitacion agaynst they came. ²² And the standart of the hoost of the children of Ephraim went forth accordynge to theyr armyes, whose captayne was Elisama the sonne of Amiud. ²³ And ouer the hoost of the tribe of the sonnes of Manasse, was Gamaliel the sonne of Pedazur. ²⁴ And ouer the hoost of the trybe of the sonnes Ben Iamin was Abidan the sonne of Gedeoni. ²⁵ And the standart of the hoost of the chyldren of Dan came forth (hauing all the hostes together) thorowout their armyes: whose captayne was Ahiezer the sonne of Ammi Saddai. ²⁶ And ouer the hooste of the trybe of the chyldren of Aser, was Pagiel the sonne of Ochram. ²⁷ And ouer the hooste of the trybe of the chyldren of Nephtali, was Ahira the sonne of Enan. ²⁸ These are the iorneyes of the chyldren of Israel thorowout theyr armyes: and thus the hoostes remoued. ²⁹ And Moses sayde vnto Hobab the sonne of Raguel the Madianite: which was Moses father in lawe: we go vnto the place of which the Lorde sayd: I wyll geue it you. Come thou therfore with vs, & we wyll do the good: for the Lorde hath promysed good vnto Israel. ³⁰ And he answered hym: I wyll not go: but will departe to myne awne land and to my kynred. ³¹ He sayde: Oh naye, leaue vs not: for thou knowest oure mansyons in the wyldernesse: and thou hast bene to vs in steade of eyes. ³² And yf thou go with vs loke what goodnesse the Lorde sheweth vnto vs, the same wyll we shewe vnto the. 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. ³⁴ And the Lorde made a shadowe for them thorowe the cloude by day, when they went out of the tentes. ³⁵ And it fortuned, that whan the arck went forth, Moses sayde: Ryse vp Lorde, and let thyne enemyes be scatered: and let them that hate the, flye before the. ³⁶ And when the arck rested, he sayde: Returne O Lorde vnto the many thousandes of Israel.

² And Balaam lyfte vp hys eyes, and loked vpon Israel as he laye accordyng to his trybes, and the spirite of God came vpon him.

⁶ And Moses sayde vnto Aaron and vnto Eleazar and Ithamar his sonnes vncouer not youre heedes, nether rent youre clothes, lest ye dye, and lest wrath come vpon all the people: But let youre brethren the hole housse of Israel bewepe the burnynge whych the Lord hath kyndled.

⁷ and vpon all the multitude, before the tabernacle of witnesse, to do the seruyce of the habitacyon. ⁸ They shall kepe all the apparell of the tabernacle of wytnesse, and wayte vpon the chyldren of Israel, to do the seruyce of the habitacion.

¹⁹ and haue geuen the Leuites as a gyfte vnto Aaron & hys sonnes from amonge the chyldren of Israel, to do the seruyce of the chyldren of Israel in the Tabernacle of wytnesse, to make an attonement for the chyldren of Israel, that there be no plage amonge the chyldren of Israel, yf the chyldren of Israel come nye vnto the holy thynges.

⁴⁶ And Moses sayde vnto Aaron: take a censer, and put fier therin out of the aulter, and powre on cens, and go quyckly vnto the congregacion, that thou mayest obteyne forgeuenes for them. For there is wrath gone oute from the Lorde, and there is a plage begonne.

² And thy brethren of the trybe of Leui and of thy fathers housholde thou shalt take vnto the, that they maye be ioyned vnto the and minystre vnto the: euen vnto the and thy sonnes with the before the tabernacle of witnes. ³ They shall wayte vpon the and vpon all the tabernacle: onely let them not come nye the vesselles of the sanctuary and the alter, that they and ye also dye not. ⁴ And they shalbe by the, and wayte on the tabernacle of witnes for all the seruyce of the tabernacle, and let no straunger come nye vnto you. ⁵ Therfore shall ye kepe the holy place and the aulter, that ther fall no more wrath vpon the chyldren of Israel:

³⁰ And of the halfe of the chyldren of Israel, thou shalt take one porcion of fyfty, of the wemen, of the oxen, of the asses and of the shepe, and of all maner of beastes: and geue them vnto the Leuites, which wayte vpon the habitacyon of the Lorde.

⁴⁷ And Moses toke of his halfe that perteyned vnto the children of Israel, one porcyon of fyftye, both of the wemen and of the catell, and gaue them vnto the Leuites, which wayted vpon the habitacyon of the Lorde, as the Lorde commaunded Moses.

³² And that they shulde wayte on the tabernacle of wytnesse, and on the holy place, and on the sonnes of Aaron their brethren, in the seruice of the house of the Lorde.

¹⁰ But we belonge vnto the Lord our God whom we haue not forsaken, and the prestes are the sonnes of Aaron, which ministre vnto the Lorde, and the leuites wayte vpon theyr office.

³¹ The prophetes teache falsely, and the preestes receyue gyftes, & my people hath pleasure therin: What wil come therof at the last?

¹⁵ Therfore thus sayeth the Lorde of Hostes concernynge the prophetes: Beholde, I will fede them with wormwod, and make them drincke the water of gall. For from the prophetes of Ierusalem is ypocrisye come into all the lande.

²⁸ Take hede therfore vnto youre selues & to all the flocke amonge whom the holy ghost hath made you ouersears, to rule the congregacyon of God which he hath purchased with his bloude. ²⁹ For I am sure of thys, that after my departynge shall greueous wolues entre in amonge you, not sparyng the flocke. ³⁰ Moreouer, of youre awne selues shall men arise, speaking peruerse thinges to drawe disciples after them. ³¹ Therfore awake, & remember, that by the space of .iij. yeres: I ceased not to warne euery one of you nyght and daye with teares.

¹³ Tyll I come, geue attendaunce to readynge, to exhortacyon, to doctrine. ¹⁴ Despyse not the gyfte that is in the, whych was geuen the thorowe prophesye, with the layinge on of handes by the auctoryte of presthode. ¹⁵ These thinges exercyse, and geue thy selfe vnto them, that it maye be sene, howe thou profetest in all thynges. ¹⁶ Take hede vnto thy selfe, and vnto learnynge, and continue therin. For yf thou shalt so do, thou shalt saue thy selfe, & them that heare the.

² preache thou the worde, be feruent, in season & oute of season. Improue, rebuke, exhorte wt all longe sufferynge and doctryne.

²¹ Beware of hym, and heare his voyce, and resyst hym not: for he wyll not spare youre mysdedes & my name is in hym. ²² But and yf thou shalt herken vnto his voyce, & do all that I speake, I wylbe an enemye vnto thyne enemyes, and an aduersarye vnto thyne aduersaryes.

³² Thus was all the worcke of the habitacyon and of the Tabernacle of witnesse fynysshed. And the chyldren of Israel dyd accordynge to all that the Lorde had commaunded Moses: Euen so dyd they.

⁴³ And Moses behelde all the worcke, and se, they had done it euen as the Lorde commaunded: euen so had they done, and Moses blessed them.

¹⁶ And Moses dyd accordynge to all that the Lorde commaunded hym: euen so dyd he.

³² when they went into the tabernacle of witnesse, & when they went to the alter they wasshed them selues as the Lorde commaunded Moses.

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

²² And Samuel sayde: hath the Lorde as great pleasure in burnt sacrifyces & offeringes, as whan the voyce of the Lord is obeyed? Behold, to obeye is better then sacrifyce, & to herken, is better then the fatt of rammes.

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.
