⁴ And ye shall knowe, that I haue sent thys commaundement vnto you: that my couenaunt which I made with Leui, might stande sayeth the Lorde of hoostes.

Of Laadan came auncient fathers, Euen of Laadan there came Gersuni & Iehieli. ²² The sonnes of Iehieli: Zethan & Ioel hys brother, which were ouer the treasures of the house of the Lorde. ²³ Of the Amramites also & Izaharites, Hebronites & Ozielites, ²⁴ was Subuel the sonne of Gerson the sonne of Moses, a ruler ouer the treasures. ²⁵ And of his brethren the sonnes of Eliezer, was Rahabiahu, whose sonne was Isaiahu, whose sonne was Ioram, whose sonne was Zichri, whose sonne was Selomith, ²⁶ whych Selomith and hys brethren were ouer all the treasures of the dedycate thynges, which Dauid the kynge, & the auncient fathers, the capitaynes ouer thousandes & hundredes, & the captaynes of the hoste, ²⁷ had dedicated out of the spoyles wonne in battels: they dyd dedicate them to mainteyne the house of the Lorde: ²⁸ & all that Samuel the sear, and Saul the sonne of Cis, and Abner the sonne of Ner, and Ioab the sonne of Zarnia had dedicated, & whosoeuer had dedicate anye thynge, it was vnder the hande of Selomith and of hys brethren.

²⁴ And I toke out twelue of the chefe preastes, Sarabia and Hasabia, and ten of their brethren with them, 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.

¹¹ Awaye, awaye, get you out from thence and touche no vncleane thynge. Go oute from amonge soche. And be cleane, that beare the vessell of the Lorde.

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.

⁸ Wherfore he sayth: whan he went vp an hye, he ledde captiuitye captyue, and gaue gyftes vnto men.

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

⁹ and put albes vpon them, and gyrd them with gyrdels, aswell Aaron, as his sonnes. And put the myters on them, and the preastes office shalbe theirs for a perpetuall lawe. And thou shalt fyll the handes of Aaron and of his sonnes:

⁵¹ And when the tabernacle goeth forth, the leuites shall take it downe: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, they shall sett it vp: and yf any straunger come nye, he shall dye.

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.

³⁵ And there came oute a fyer from the Lorde, and consumed the two hundred and fyftye men that offred cens.

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.

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.

⁷ Therfore shalt thou and thy sonnes with the take hede vnto your preastes offyce for all thynges that perteyne vnto the aulter, and for all that are within the vayle. And se that ye serue: for I haue geuen your prestes office vnto you as a gyft: and therfore the straunger that commeth nye, must be slayne.

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.

³² And they mynistred before the dwellynge place, and the Tabernacle of wytnesse wyth synginge, vntyll Salomon had buylt the housse of the Lorde in Ierusalem. And then they wayted on theyr offyces, accordynge to the order of them.

¹⁶ But in his strength, his hert arose to hys destruction: For he transgressed agaynst the Lorde hys God, & went into the temple of the Lorde, to burne cense vpon the alter of incense. ¹⁷ And Asariahu the preaste went in after him, and with him foure skore preastes of the Lorde that were valeaunt men. ¹⁸ And they stode by Uzia the kynge, and sayde vnto hym: it pertayneth not to the Uzia to burne incense vnto the Lorde, but to the preastes the chyldren of Aaron, that are consecrate for to offre incense. Come therfore out of the sanctuarye for thou hast trespaced, and it is no worshyp to the before the Lorde God. ¹⁹ And Uzia was wroth, & had incense in his hande to burne it: & so whyle he had indignacyon agaynst the preastes, the leprosye sprange in his foreheed before the preastes in the house of the Lorde, euen besyde the incense aulter. ²⁰ And Asariahu the chefe preaste with all the other preastes loked vpon him: and beholde, he was become a leper in his foreheed, & they vexed him thence. And he was fayne to go out, because the Lorde had smitten hym. ²¹ And Uzia the kynge contynued a lepre vnto the daye of hys deeth, and dwelt seuerall in an house beynge a leper and shutte out of the house of the Lorde. And Iotham hys sonne had the gouernaunce of the kynges house, and iudged the people of the lande.

⁸ and not kepte the holy ordynaunces of my sanctuary: but sett kepers of my sanctuary, euen after youre awne mynde.

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.

⁷ Let hym that hath an office wayte on his office. Let him that teacheth take hede to hys doctryne.

¹⁹ Now therfore, ye are not straungers, and foreyners: but citesyns with the sayntes & of the housholde of God:

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.

⁴ For he were not a prest, yf he were on the erth where are prestes, that accordynge to the law

¹⁹ Seyng therfore brethren, that by the meanes of the bloud of Iesu we haue libertye to enter into the holy place, ²⁰ by the new & lyuing waye whych he hath prepared for vs, through the vayle (that is to saye, by his flesshe.) ²¹ And seing also that we haue an hye prest whych is ruler ouer the house of God, ²² let vs draw nye wt a true herte in a sure fayth, sprynckeled in our hertes & the euyll conscience put awaye & wesshed in our bodyes wt pure water:

² Sanctify vnto me all the first borne, that open all maner matrices amonge the children of Israel aswell of man as of beaste: for it is myne.

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.

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.

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.

¹⁸ and I haue taken the Leuites for all the fyrst borne of the chyldren of Israel,

⁶ beholde, I haue taken your brethren the Leuites from amonge the the childreen of Israel, which as a gyft of yours are geuen vnto the Lorde, to do the seruyce of the tabernacle of witnes.

²⁹ And at mydnight, the Lorde smote all the fyrst borne in the lande of Egipte, from the fyrst borne of Pharao that satte on hys seate, vnto the fyrst borne of the captyue that was in preson: and all the fyrste gendred of catell. ³⁰ And Pharao arose in the nyghte, he and all his seruauntes and all the Egipcians: and there was a greate cryinge in Egipt: for there was no house where there was not one deed.

¹² And then thou shalt appointe vnto the Lorde all that openeth the matrice. And euery caste thing, the fyrst doth open the matrice of a beast which thou hast: yf they be males, they shall be the Lordes.

¹⁵ And when Pharao was looth to let vs go, the Lorde slewe all the first borne in the lande of Egipte: aswell the fyrste borne of man as of beaste. Therfore I sacrice vnto the Lorde all the males that open the matrice, and all the fyrst borne of my children I redeme.

²⁹ Thy frutes (whether they be drie or moyst) se thou kepe not backe.

¹⁹ All that breaketh vp the matryce is myne: and all that breaketh the matryce amonge thy catell, yf it be male: whether it be oxe or shepe.

²⁶ But the fyrst borne of the beastes that is appoynted vnto the Lorde, maye no man sanctifye: whether it be oxe or shepe, for it is the Lordes allredy.

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:

¹⁵ All that breaketh the matrice in all fleshe that men brynge vnto the Lorde, whether it be of men or beastes, shalbe thyne. Neuerthelater the fyrstborne of man shalt thou redeme, and the fyrstborne of vncleane beastes shalt thou redeme lykewyse. Those that are to be redemed,

³⁰ The fyrstlinges of all the fyrst frutes, and all frewyllofferinges shalbe the prestes. Ye shall geue vnto the preste also all the fyrst frute of your first borne, all I say, & all that is separated vnto God, all youre heueofferinges (I saye) shalbe the prestes, & also the fyrstlinges of your dough, that God maye prospere the residue.

²³ (as it is wrytten in the lawe of the Lorde euery man chylde that fyrst openeth the matrix, shalbe called holy to the Lord)

²³ and vnto the congregacion of the fyrst borne sonnes; whych are wrytten in heauen, and to God, the iudge of all, & to the spretes of iust and parfecte men,

⁴⁷ But the Leuites after the trybe of theyr fathers were not nombred amonge them.

²² And the summe of them (after the nombre of all the males from a moneth olde and aboue) was .vii. thousande and fyue hundred.

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.

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.

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.

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.

¹⁵ All that breaketh the matrice in all fleshe that men brynge vnto the Lorde, whether it be of men or beastes, shalbe thyne. Neuerthelater the fyrstborne of man shalt thou redeme, and the fyrstborne of vncleane beastes shalt thou redeme lykewyse. Those that are to be redemed, ¹⁶ shalt thou redeme from the age of a moneth, for the value of the money, namely for fyue sycles after the sycle of the sanctuari. A sycle maketh twentye halfpens.

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.

¹⁷ I am louynge vnto those that loue me: and they that seke me early shall fynde me.

² Go thy waye, crye in the eares of Ierusalem, & saye: Thus sayeth the Lord: I remembre the, for the kyndenesse of thy youth, and because of thy stedfast loue: at the tyme of thy despousynge, in that thou folowdest me thorowe the wyldernesse, in an vntylled lande.

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.

¹⁴ But when Iesus sawe it, he was dyspleased & sayd vnto them: Suffre the children to come vnto me, forbyd them not. For of soch is the kyngdome of God.

¹⁵ and for as moch also as of a chylde thou hast knowen the holy scriptures which are able to make the lerned vnto saluacyon thorow the fayth which is in Christ Iesu.

²¹ And the chyldren of Israel dyd euen so, And Ioseph gaue them charettes according to the commaundement of Pharao, and gaue them vytayle also to spende by the waye.

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.

⁵¹ And Moses gaue the money of them that were redemed, vnto Aaron and his sonnes accordynge to the worde of the Lord, euen as the Lorde commaunded Moses.

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.

³⁷ This is the nombre of the kynredes of Cahath: namely, all that myght do seruyce in the tabernacle of wytnesse, which Moses and Aaron dyd nombre, accordynge to the commaundement of the Lorde by the hande of Moses.

⁴¹ Thys is the nombre of the kynredes of the sonnes of Gerson, of all the dyd seruyce in the tabernacle of wytnesse, which Moses & Aaron dyd nombre accordynge to the commaundement of the Lorde.

⁴⁵ This is the summe of the kynredes of the sonnes of merari, whiche Moses & Aaron nombred accordynge to the worde of the Lorde, by the hande of Moses.

⁴⁹ Accordynge to the worde of the Lorde dyd (Aaron) nombre them by the hande of Moses, euery one accordynge to their seruyce and charge, and accordynge to their offyces: as the Lorde commaunded Moses.

⁵ And the Preastes the sonnes of Leui (whom the Lorde thy God hath chosen to mynistre, and to blesse in the name of the Lorde) shall come furth, and at theyr mouthe shall all stryfe and plage be tryed.

¹¹ The chyldren of Leui: Gerson, Kahath and Merari.

¹⁶ These also are the names of the chyldren of Leui in their generacyons: Gerson, and kahath and Merari. Leui lyued an hundred & .xxxvij. yere. ¹⁷ The sonnes of Gerson: Libni and Semei by their kynreddes. ¹⁸ The chyldren of kahath: Amram, and Iesear, Hebron and Usiel. And kahath lyued an hundred and .xxxiij. yere. ¹⁹ The chyldren of Merari: Mahely and Musi: these are the kynreddes of Leui by their generations.

⁵ & the fourth part of an hin of wyne for a drynckoffering, and offer with the burntofferyng or any other offeryng: when it is a lambe. ⁶ Or yf it be a ram, thou shalt offer for a meate offerynge, two tenth deales of floure, myngled with the thyrd part of an hin of oyle: ⁷ and for a drinkofferynge, thou shalt offer the thyrde parte of an hyn of wyne for a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde. ⁸ And when thou offerest a bullocke for a burntoffring or for a speciall vowe or peace offering vnto the Lorde, ⁹ let him bring with a bullock a meateoffering of .iij. tenth deales of floure myngled with halfe an hin of oyle. And thou shalt bryng for a drinckofferynge euen halfe an hin of wyne, ¹⁰ for an offering of a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde. ¹¹ After thys maner, shall it be done for an oxe, or for a ram, or for a lambe or a kyd. ¹² Loke what nombre thou makest in these, such a nombre shalt thou make in them also. And according to the nombre of suche offeringes, thou shalt encrease the meatofferynges and the drynckofferinges. ¹³ All that are of your selues shall do these thinges after this maner, to offer an offeringe of swete sauour vnto the Lorde. ¹⁴ And yf a straunger sogeorne with you, or whoso euer be amonge you in your generacions, and will offer an offering of a swete sauour vnto the Lorde: euen as ye do, so he shall do. ¹⁵ One ordinaunce shalbe both for you of the congregacion, and also for the straunger. It shalbe an ordinaunce for euer in your generacions, both vnto you and to the straunger before the Lorde. ¹⁶ One lawe and one maner shall serue, both for you and for the straunger that sogeorneth with you. ¹⁷ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, sayinge: ¹⁸ speake vnto the children of Israel, and saye vnto them: When ye become into the lande to the which I bring you, ¹⁹ then when ye will eate of the bread of the lande, ye shall take vp an heueoffering vnto the Lorde. ²⁰ Ye shall take vp a cake of the fyrst of your dow for an heueoffering, as ye do the heueoffering of the barne, euen so ye shall heue it. ²¹ Of the fyrst of your dowe ye shall geue vnto the Lorde an heueoffering in your generacions. ²² And yf ye ouerse your selues, and obserue not all these commaundementes, which the Lorde hath spoken vnto Moses: ²³ euen all that the Lorde hath commaunded you by the hande of Moses, from the fyrst daie that the Lorde commaunded Moses, and hence forwarde amonge youre generacions.

⁶ And whan he went agayne vnto him, loo, he stode by hys sacrifice, he and all the Lordes of Moab. ⁷ And he toke vp hys parable and sayde Balac the kynge of Moab hath fett me from Mesopotamia out of the mountaynes of the east (sayinge:) come, curse Iacob for my sake: come, & defye Israel. ⁸ Howe shall I curse him, whom God hath not cursed? or howe shall I defye him, whom God hath not defyed? ⁹ from the toppe of the rockes I se hym, and from the hylles I beholde hym: loo, the people shall dwell by them selfe, and shall not be rekened among the nacyons. ¹⁰ Who can tell the dust of Iacob, and the nombre of the fourth parte of Israel? I praye God, that my soule maye dye the death of the ryghteous, & that my last ende maye be lyke hys. ¹¹ And Balac sayde vnto Balaam: what hast thou done vnto me? I fett the to curse myne enemyes, and beholde, thou hast blessed them. ¹² He answered and sayde: must I not kepe that & speake it, whych the Lorde hath put in my mouthe? ¹³ And Balac sayde vnto hym: Come I praye the with me vnto another place, whence thou mayest se them, and thou shalt se but the vtmost parte of them, and shalt not se them all: curse them out of that place for my sake. ¹⁴ And he brought him into a felde (where men myght se farre of) euen to the toppe of an hyll, and bylt seuen alters, and offered an oxe and a ram on euery alter. ¹⁵ And he sayd vnto Balac: stande here by thy sacrifyce, whyle I go yonder. ¹⁶ And the Lord mett Balaam, and put a worde in hys mouth & sayd: go agayne vnto Balac, and thus saye. ¹⁷ And when he came to hym: beholde, he stode by his sacrifyce, & the Lordes of Moab with hym. And Balac sayde vnto him: what hath the Lorde sayde? ¹⁸ And he toke vp his parable & answered: ryse vp Balac and heare, and herken vnto me thou sonne of Ziphor. ¹⁹ God is not a man that he shulde lye, nether the sonne of a man that he shulde repent: shulde he saye, and not doo? or shulde he speake, and not make it good? ²⁰ beholde, I haue taken vpon me to blesse, for he hath blessed, and it is not in my power to alter it. ²¹ He behelde no vanyte in Iacob, nor sawe trauayll in Israel. The Lorde hys God is wt him, and the presence of the kyng is amonge them. ²² God brought them oute of Egypte, he hath strength as an vnicorne. ²³ There is no sorcery in Iacob, nor sothsaying in Israel. It is nowe tolde vnto Iacob & Israel, what God hath wrought.

¹ And when Balaam sawe that it pleased the Lorde that he shulde blesse Israel, he went not as he dyd twyse before to fett sothsayinge, but sett hys face towarde the wyldernesse. 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. ³ And he toke vp hys parable and sayde: Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde & the man whose eye is open hath sayd: ⁴ he hath sayde, whyche heareth the wordes of God and seyth the visyons of the almyghtie, and falleth doune with open eyes. ⁵ Howe goodly are thy tentes o Iacob, and thyne habitacyons o Israel? ⁶ Euen as the valeyes are they layed abrode, and as gardens by the ryuers syde: as the tentes whyche the Lorde hath pytched, and as cyperstrees besyde the waters. ⁷ The water droppeth out of his bouket, and hys seed shal be many waters and hys kinge shalbe hyer then Agag, And hys kyngdome shalbe exalted. ⁸ God broughte hym out of Egypt: as the strength of an vnycorne is he vnto hym. He shall eate the nacyons hys enemyes, and gnawe theyr bones, & perce them thorowe with his arowes. ⁹ He couched hym selfe, and laye doune as a lyon, and as a lyonesse, who shall sterre hym vp? blessed is he that blesseth the, & cursed is he that curseth the. ¹⁰ And Balac was wroth wyth Balaam, and smote hys handes together, and Balac sayde vnto Balaam: I sent for the to curse myne enemyes, and beholde, thou hast blessed them this thre tymes. ¹¹ Therfore nowe gett the quyckly vnto thy place. I thought that I wolde promote the vnto honoure, but lo, the Lorde hath kept the backe from worshype ¹² Balaam answered vnto Balac: tolde I not thy messengers which thou sentest vnto me, sayinge: ¹³ If Balac wolde geue me his house full of syluer and golde, I cannot passe the worde of the Lorde, to do ether good or bad of myne awne mynde? But what the Lorde sayeth, that am I compelled to speake. ¹⁴ And nowe beholde, I go vnto my people: come therfore, and I wyll aduertise the, what this people shal do to thy folke in the later dayes. ¹⁵ And he toke vp hys parable and sayde: Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde, the man whose eye is open, hath sayde. ¹⁶ He hath sayde that heareth the wordes of God, and hath the knowledge of the most hye, and beholdeth the visyon of the almyghtie, and that falleth with open eyes: ¹⁷ I shall se hym, but not nowe I shall beholde him, but not nye. There shall come a starre of Iacob, and ryse a sceptre of Israel, and shal smyte the costes of Moab & vndermyne all the chyldren of Seth. ¹⁸ And Edom shalbe possessed, and Seir shall fall to the possessyon of theyr enemyes, and Israel shall do manfully. ¹⁹ Out of Iacob shall come he that shal haue dominion, and shall destroye the remnaunt of the cytie. ²⁰ And whan he loked on Amaleck, he toke vp his parable, & sayde: Amaleck is the fyrst of the nacynos but hys latter ende shall perysh vtterly. ²¹ And he loked on the Kenytes and toke vp hys parable, and sayde: stronge is thy dwellynge place, and thou puttest thy nest in a rocke, ²² Neuerthelesse the kenyte shalbe roted out, vntyll Assur take the presoner: ²³ And he toke vp his parable and sayd: Alas, Who shall lyue when God doeth thys? ²⁴ The shyppes also shall come out of the coste of Italy, and subdue Assur, & subdue Eber, and he hym selfe shall perishe at the last. ²⁵ And Balaam rose vp, and went and returned to hys place: and Balac also went hys waye.

⁵⁷ These are the nombres of the Leuites, after their kinredes: Gerson, of whom came the kynred of the Gersonites: Cahath, of whom came the kynred of the Cahathytes: Merrari, of whom came the kynred of the Merrarites. ⁵⁸ These are the kynredes of the Leuites: the kynred of the Libnites, the kinred of the Hebronites: the kinred of the Mahelites: the kynred of the Musites: the kinred of the Karahites Cahath begat Amram,

¹ And then came the principall fathers of the Leuites vnto Eleazar the preaste, and vnto Iosua the sonne of Nun, and vnto the auncient fathers that were ouer the trybes of the children of Israel, ² & spake vnto them at Silo in the lande of Canaan, saying: the Lorde commaunded by Moses, to geue vs cyties to dwell in, with the suburbes therof, for oure catell. ³ And the children of Israell gaue vnto the Leuites out of their enheritaunce at the bidding of the Lorde these cyties folowing wt their Suburbes. ⁴ And the lotte cam out for the kynred of the Cahathites: and the children of Aaron the preaste, which were of the Leuites, had geuen them by lott, out of the trybe of Iuda, out of the trybe of Simeon, and out of the trybe of Beniamin: thirtene cyties. ⁵ And the reast of the children of Cahath had by lotte, out of the kynredes of the trybe of Ephraim, out of the trybe of Dan, and out of the halfe trybe of Manasses: ten cyties. ⁶ And the children of Gerson had by lotte out of the kynredes of the trybe of Isacar, and out of the trybe of Aser, out of the trybe of Nephthali & out of the other halfe trybe of Manasses in Basan: thirtene cyties. ⁷ And the children of Merari by their kynredes, had out of the trybe of Ruben, and out of the trybe of Gad, and out of the trybe of Zabulon, twelue cyties: ⁸ And the children of Israell gaue by lotte vnto the Leuites these cyties with their Suburbes, as the Lord commaunded by Moses. ⁹ And they gaue out of the trybe of the children of Iuda, & out of the trybe of the children of Simeon, these cyties by name: ¹⁰ which the children of Aaron being of the kynredes of the Cahathites, & of the children of Leui, obtayned: for theirs was the fyrst lotte. ¹¹ And they gaue them kariath Arbe of the father of Enack (which is Hebron) in the hyll contreye of Iuda, with the Suburbes of the same rounde about it. ¹² But the londe that pertayned to the cytie, and the villages therof, gaue they to Caleb the sonne ne of Iephune, to be his possession. ¹³ And thus they gaue to the children of Aaron the preast, a cyte, to the which the slayer might flye: euen Hebron with her Suburbes: Libna with her Suburbes: ¹⁴ & Iathir with her Suburbes, & Estimoa with her Suburbes: ¹⁵ Holon wt her Suburbes, Dabir with her Suburbes: ¹⁶ Ain with her Suburbes: Iutah with her Suburbes: Bethsames with her Suburbes: nyne cities out of those two

⁹ And thou shalt make the courte of the habitacyon, that there maye be in the south syde hangynges of white twyned sylke, of an hundred cubytes longe, for one syde, ¹⁰ and .xx. pyllers therof, with theyr .xx. sockettes of brasse: but the knoppes of the pyllers & theyr whopes shalbe syluer. ¹¹ In lykewyse on the north syde there shalbe hangynges of an hundred cubytes longe and .xx. pylers with their twentye sockettes of brasse, and the knoppes and the whopes of syluer. ^{12 13} And the breadth of the court which is eastwarde, shall haue fyftye cubytes. ¹⁴ Hangynges of fyftene cubytes in the one syde: and their pillers with their thre sockettes: ¹⁵ and lykewyse on the other syde shalbe hanginges of fiftene cubites with their thre pillers and thre sockettes. ¹⁶ And in the gate of the court shalbe a vayle of twentye cubites of yelowe silk, purple, and skarlet & whyte twined silke, wrought with nedle worke: & foure pillers with their foure sockettes. ¹⁷ All the pillers round about the court shalbe whoped with syluer, & their knoppes shalbe of syluer, and their sockettes of brasse. ¹⁸ The length of the court shalbe an hundred cubites, and the breadth fyftye & the heigth fyue.

¹¹ the habitacyon with the tent therof and his coueryng, & hys rynges, and his bordes, his barres, his pyllers, and his sockettes:

²⁰ And he made stondynge bordes (for the tabernacle) of Sethim wodd. ²¹ The length of a borde was ten cubytes, the breadth one cubyte and a halfe. ²² One borde had two fete, wherby they were ioyned one to another. And thus made he for all the bordes of the Tabernacle. ²³ And he made .xx. bordes for the southsyde of the habitacyon, ²⁴ and .xl. sockettes of syluer vnder the .xx. boordes two sockettes vnder one boorde, for his two fete. ²⁵ And for the other syde of the dwelling which is towarde the north, he made twentye boordes, ²⁶ & theyr fourtye sockettes of syluer, two sockettes vnder one boorde. ²⁷ And towarde the west ende of the Tabernacle. He made syxe boordes, ²⁸ and two other bordes made he in the corners of the habitacyon for eyther syde, ²⁹ and they were ioyned closse beneth and aboue with a clampe, and thus they dyd to both the corners. ³⁰ And there were eyght boordes & syxtene sockettes, of syluer, vnder euery borde two sockettes. ³¹ And he made barres of Sethim wodd fyue for the bordes of the Tabernacle in the one syde: ³² and fyue for the bordes of the Tabernacle in the other syde, and fyue barres for the boordes of the habitacyon in the west ende. ³³ And he made the myddest barre to shote thorowe the bordes: euen from the one ende to the other, ³⁴ and ouerlayde the boordes wyth golde, and made rynges of golde to thrust the barres thorowe, and couered the barres wyth golde.

³⁶ And made ther vnto foure pillers of Sethim wodd, and ouerlayde them with golde. Theyr knoppes were also of golde, and he cast for them foure sockettes of syluer.

¹⁷ but the sockettes of the pyllers were of brasse: and the knoppes and the whopes of the pyllers were of syluer, and the couerynge of the heedes was of syluer, and all the pyllers of the courte were whoped about with syluer. ¹⁸ And the hangynge of the gate of the courte was nedle worke, of yelowe, sylke purple, scarlet and whyte twyned sylke .xx. cubytes longe, and fyue in the bredth, ouer agaynst the hangynges of the courte. ¹⁹ And theyr pyllers were foure and theyr foure sockettes of brasse, and the knoppes of syluer, and the heedes ouerlayed wyth syluer, and whoped aboute with syluer, ²⁰ and all the pynnes of the tabernacle & of the courte rounde aboute were of brasse.

³³ And they brought the habitacyon vnto Moses: the tent and all his apparell, buttones, boordes, barres, pillers & sockettes.

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.

⁸ And .iiij. charettes & eyght oxen he gaue vnto the sonnes of Merari (accordynge vnto their offices) vnder the hande of Ithamar the sonne of Aaron the Preaste.

³ On the eastsyde to warde the rysynge of the sonne, shall they of the standerd of the hoste of Iuda pytch thorowe out theyr armyes: And Nahesson the sonne of Aminadab was captayne of the sonnes of Iuda.

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.

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

²⁹ And the kynred of the chyldren of Cahath shall pytche on the southsyde of the Tabernacle.

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.

¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Aaron Thou and thy sonnes and thy fathers house with the shall beare the faute of that which is done amysse in the holy place. And thou and thy sonnes wt the shall beare the faute of that which is done amysse in your presthode. 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:

⁴⁸ Theyr brethren also the Leuites were appoynted vnto all maner of seruice of the tabernacle of the house of God. ⁴⁹ But Aaron & hys sonnes burnt incense vpon the aulter of burntofferynge & on the aulter of incense (and were apoynted) for all that was to do in the place moste holy, and to make an attonement for them of Israel, accordynge to all that Moses the seruaunt of God had commaunded.

⁴⁷ from .xxx. yere vp vnto .l. euery one that came to do hys offyce and seruyce and to beare hys burthen in the Tabernacle of wytnesse: ⁴⁸ were (whan they were nombred.) .viij. thousande, fyue hundred and .lxxx.

¹⁴ For straite is the gate, and narowe is the waye, which leadeth vnto lyfe, and fewe there be that finde it.

¹² beholde I haue taken the Leuites from amonge the chyldren of Israell for all the fyrst borne that openeth the matrice amonge the chyldren of Israel, and the Leuites shalbe myne:

¹⁵ Nombre the chyldren of Leui after the houses of their fathers in their kynredes. All that are males, from a moneth olde and aboue shalt thou nombre.

⁶ The Lorde shall rehearse it, whan he wryteth vp the people, that he was borne there. Selah.

³ Then shall the remnaunt in Sion & the remnaunt at Ierusalem be called holy: Namely all soch as are wrytten among the lyuynge at Ierusalem:

²⁰ Neuertheles, in this reioyse not, that the spretes are subdued vnto you: but reioyse, that youre names are wryten in heauen.

³ Yee and I beseche the faythfull yockefelowe, helpe the wemen which laboured with me in the Gospell, and with Clement also, and with other my laboure felowes whose names are in the boke of lyfe.

¹⁹ But the sure grounde of God standeth still, and hath this seale: the Lorde knoweth them that are hys. And let euery man that calleth on the name of Christ, departe from iniquite.

⁵ He that ouercommeth, shalbe thus clothed in whyte araye, and I wyll not put out his name out of the boke of lyfe, and I wyll confesse hys name before my father, and before hys Angels.

⁴ These are they, which were not defyled wt wemen, for they are virgyns. These folowe the lambe whythersoeuer he goeth. These were redemed from men, beynge the fyrste frutes vnto God and to the lambe,

⁵ and sent yonge men of the chyldren of Israell, which brought burntofferynges, and offred peace offeringes of oxen vnto the Lord. ⁶ And Moses toke halfe of the bloude, and put it in basens, & the other halfe he sprenkeld on the aulter.

²⁸ euen as the sonne of man cam, not to be ministred vnto, but to minister, & to geue his lyfe a redempcion for many.

⁶ whych gaue him selfe a raunsome for all men, that it shulde be testifyed at hys tyme,

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.

¹³ And euery fyrst gendred of an asse, thou shalt redeme with a lambe: yf thou redeme him not, thou shalt breake his neck. All the fyrst borne amonge thy chyldren also, shalt thou bye out.

¹³ And thus moch shall euery man geue, and that goeth into the nombre: halfe a sycle, after the sycle of the sanctuarye: a sycle is twentye halfpence. An halfe sycle shalbe the heueofferynge of the Lorde.

⁶ And from a moneth vnto fyue yeare, the male shalbe set at fyue sycles of syluer, and the female at thre.

²⁵ And all settynge shalbe accordynge to the cycle of the sanctuary. One sycle conteyneth twenye halfpens.

⁵⁰ of the fyrst borne of the chyldren of Israel toke he thys money: euen a thousande .iij. hundred and .lxv. sycles, after the sycle of the Sanctuary.

¹⁶ shalt thou redeme from the age of a moneth, for the value of the money, namely for fyue sycles after the sycle of the sanctuari. A sycle maketh twentye halfpens.

¹² One syckle maketh .xx. geras. So twentye sycles, and .xxv. and .xv. sycles make a pounde.

⁴⁶ And for the redemynge of the two hundred and .lxxiij. (whych are moo then the Leuites in the fyrst borne of the chyldren of Israel,) ⁴⁷ take .v. sycles of euery heade, after the weyght of the Sanctuary the Sycle conteynynge twenty halfpens.

⁵ For ther is one God, and one mediator betwene God and man, euen the man Christ Iesus, ⁶ whych gaue him selfe a raunsome for all men, that it shulde be testifyed at hys tyme,

¹⁴ whych gaue him selfe for vs, to redeme vs from all vnryghtewesnes, and to pourge vs a peculyer people vnto hym selfe feruently geuen vnto good workes.

¹² nether by the bloude of goates & calues: but by hys awne bloude he entred in once into the holy place, and founde eternall redempcyon.

¹⁸ For as moch as ye knowe, how that ye were not redemed wyth corruptible thynges (as syluer & golde) from youre vayne conuersacion, whych ye receaued by the tradicion of the fathers:

¹⁸ For as moch as Christ hath once suffered for synnes, the iust for the vniust, to bring vs to God, and was kylled, as pertayninge to the flesshe: but was quyckened in the sprete.

⁴⁸ And geue the money wher with the odde nombre of them is redemed, vnto Aaron and his sonnes.

¹⁵ And Moses waxed very angry, & sayde vnto the Lorde. Turne not thou vnto theyr offeryng. I haue not taken so muche as an asse from them, neyther haue I hurte any of them.

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.

⁴ Remembre the lawe of Moses my seruaunt, whych I commytted vnto hym in Oreb for all Israell, with the statutes and ordinaunces.

³³ I haue desyred no mans syluer, golde, or vesture.

¹² If other be partakers of thys power ouer you, wherfore are not we rather? Neuerthelesse we haue not vsed this power: but suffre all thinges, lest we shulde hinder the Gospell of Chryst.

² Fede ye Christes flocke, asmoch as lyeth in you, takynge the ouersyght of them, not as compelled therto, but wyllyngly: not for the desyre of fylthy lucre: but of a good mynde,
