²² Golde, syluer, brasse, and yron tyn and lead, ²³ and all that maye abyde the fier, ye shall make it go thorowe the fier, and it shalbe cleane. Neuerthelesse, it shalbe sprynked with sprynkling water. And all that suffreth not the fier ye shall make go thorowe the water. ²⁴ And washe youre clothes the seuenth daye, and ye shalbe cleane. And afterwarde come into the hooste.

¹² And whan Samuel rose erlye, to mete Saul in the mornynge, it was tolde Samuel, that Saul was come to Carmel, & beholde, he hath made him there a place, & is turned, and departed, and gone downe to Gilgall.

²¹ And Dauid came to the two hundred men, that were to werye for to folowe Dauid, whom they had made also to abyde at the ryuer Besor. And they cam to mete Dauid, & the people that were wyth him. And when Dauid cam to the people, he saluted them.

¹⁹ And it fortuned, assoone as he came nye vnto the hooste, he sawe the calfe and the daunsynge, and Moses wrath waxed hote, and he cast the tables out of his handes, and brake them beneth the hyll.

²² And Aaron answered: let not the wrath of my Lorde waxe fearce, thou knowest the people that they are euen sett on myschefe:

¹⁶ And Moses sought the goate that was offred for synne, and se, it was burnt. And he was angrye with Eleazar and Ithamar the sonnes of Aaron, whyche were lefte alyue, sayinge:

³ But Moses was a very meke man, aboue all the men of the earth.

⁴⁸ And the offycers of thousandes of the hooste, the captaynes ouer the thousandes, and the captaynes ouer the hundredes came forth, and sayde vnto Moses:

¹³ And Samuel came to Saul, & Saul sayde vnto him: Blessed be thou in the Lorde. I haue fulfylled the commaundement of the Lord. ¹⁴ Samuel sayde: what meaneth then the bleatyng of the shepe in myne eares, and the noyse of the oxen which I heare?

⁴² And he sayde vnto him. thus sayth the Lorde: because thou hast lett go a man that is in my cursse, thy lyfe shall go for his lyfe, and thy people for his people.

¹⁹ And the man of God was angrie wt him, & sayd: thou shuldest haue smyten fyue or syxe tymes & then thou haddest smytten Siria tyll thou haddest made an ende of them: where nowe thou shalt smyte Siria but thrise.

¹³ And when the Lorde thy God hath delyuered it into thyne handes, thou shalt smyte all the males therof wyth the edge of the swerde:

¹⁶ But of the cyties of these nacions, which the Lorde thy God shall geue the to enheret, thou shalt saue alyue nothinge that bretheth. ¹⁷ But shalt destroye them without redempcyon, namely the Hethites, the Amorites, the Cananites, the Pherezites, the Heuites, and the Iebusites, as the Lorde thy God hath commaunded the, ¹⁸ that they teache you not to do after all their abhominacyons, whych they haue done vnto their goddes, & so ye shulde synne agaynst the Lorde youre God.

²¹ & toke the citie. And they vtterly destroyed all that was in the cytie, bothe man and woman, younge and olde, oxe, shepe & Asse, with the edge of the swerde.

²⁵ And all that fell that daye, both of men & wemen, were twelue thousande, euen all the men of Hai.

⁸ O daughter of Babylon, wasted with miserye: yee, happye shall he be, that rewardeth the, as thou hast serued vs. ⁹ Blessed shall he be, that taketh thy chyldren, and throweth them agaynst the stones.

¹⁰ Cursed be he that doth the worcke of the Lorde negligently, and cursed be he that kepeth backe his swearde from sheddynge of bloude.

⁶ kyll and destroye both olde men and yonge, maydens, chyldren, and wyues. But as for those, that haue the marcke vpon them: se that ye touch them not, and begynne at my Sanctuary. Then they beganne at the elders, whych were in the temple,

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.

¹ And Israel dwelt in Sittim, and the people began to committe whoredome with the daughters of Moab, ² which called the people vnto the sacryfyce of theyr goddes. And the people dyd eate, and worshypped theyr goddes, ³ & Israel coupled him selfe vnto Baal Peor. And the indignacyon of the Lorde was prouoked agaynst Israel, ⁴ and the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: take all the heades of the people, & hange them vp before the Lorde agaynst the sonne, that the wrath of the Lordes countenaunce maye be tourned awaye from Israel. ⁵ And Moses sayd vnto the iudges of Israel euery one slaye hys men that were ioyned vnto Baal Peor. ⁶ And beholde, one of the chyldren of Israel came and broughte vnto his brethren, a Madianitish wyfe euen in the syghte of Moses, and in the sight of all the multitude of the children of Israel, that wepte before the dore of the tabernacle of witnesse. ⁷ And when Phinehes the sonne of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the preaste sawe it, he rose vp oute of the myddes of the companie, and toke a weapon in hys hande, ⁸ and went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust them thorowe: both the man of Israel and also the woman, euen thorowe the belly of her. And the plage ceased from the chyldren of Israel. ⁹ And there dyed in the plage .xxiiii. thousande.

³ Youre eyes haue sene what the Lorde dyd vnto Baal Peor for all the men that folowed Baal Peor, the Lorde youre God hath destroyed from amonge you.

¹⁷ Is the wicked deade of Peor to lyttell for vs, wherof we are not yet cleansed vnto thys daye, and for the which there was in the congregacion of the people a plage of the Lord?

²⁷ For an whore is a depe graue, and an harlot is a narow pytt.

²⁶ And I founde, that a woman is bytterer then death: for she hath cast abrode, her herte as a nett that men fishe with, and her handes are cheynes. Who so pleaseth God, shall escape from her: but the synner will be taken with her.

² and when the Lorde thy God hath sett them before the, thou shalt smyte them, & vtterly destroye them, and make no couenaunt with them, nor haue compassyon on them. Thou shalt make no mariages with them,

¹¹ And this is it that ye shall do: vtterlye destroye all the males and all the wemen that haue lyen by men. ¹² And they founde amonge the in habiters of Iabes Gilead foure hundred damoselles, virgines, that had knowen no man, by lyeng with any male. And they brought them vnto the host to Silo, which is in the lande of Canaan.

⁴⁴ Thy bondseruaunte, and thy bondmayde which thou shalt haue, shalbe of the heythen that are rounde aboute you:

¹⁰ When thou goest to warre agaynst thyne enemyes, and the Lorde thy God hath delyuered them into thyne handes, and thou hast taken them captyue, ¹¹ and seest amonge the captyues a bewtifull woman, and hast a desyre vnto her, that thou woldest haue her to thy wyfe, ¹² Thou shalt brynge her home to thyne house, and let her shaue her heade & let her nayles growe, ¹³ and put her rayment that she was taken in from her, and let her remayne in thine house, and be wepe her father and her mother a moneth longe, and after that shalt thou go in vnto her, and marye her, & she shall be thy wife. ¹⁴ And yf thou haue no fauoure vnto her, then let her go whether she lusteth: and sell her not for money, nor make cheue saunce of her, because thou hast humbled her.

² The people shal take them, & cary them home to their awne lande. And make them to enherite the house of Israel in the lande of the Lord that they maye be seruauntes & hand maydens of the Lord. They shal take those prisoners whose captyues they had bene a fore: & rule those that had oppressed them.

¹¹ He that toucheth the deed body of any man, shalbe vncleane seuen dayes. ¹² And he shall purifye hym selfe with thys water the thyrde daye and the seuenth daye, and he shalbe cleane. But yf he purifye not hym selfe the thyrde daye and the seuenth daye, he shal not be cleane. ¹³ Whosoeuer toucheth the coarse of any man that is deed, and sprynkleth not hym selfe, defyleth the dwellynge of the Lorde: and that soule shalbe roted out of Israel, because the sprynklyng water was not sprenkled vpon hym. He shalbe therfore vncleane, and hys vnclennesse shall remayne vppon hym. ¹⁴ Thys is the lawe of the man that dyeth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shalbe vncleane seuen dayes. ¹⁵ And all the vessels that be open whych haue no lyd nor couerynge vpon them, shalbe vncleane. ¹⁶ And whosouer toucheth one that is slayne with a swerde in the feldes, or a deed persone, or a bone of a deed man, or a graue: shall be vncleane seuen dayes. ¹⁷ Therfore, for an vncleane persone they shall take of the burnt asshes of the synofferynge, & runnynge water shall be put therto in a vessell. ¹⁸ And let a cleane persone take Isope and dyppe it in the water, & sprynkle it vpon the tent, and vpon all the vessels, and on the soules that were there in, and vpon hym that touched a bone, or a slayne persone, or a deed body, or a graue. ¹⁹ And the cleane persone shall sprynkle vpon the vncleane the thirde daye and the seuenth daye. And the seuenth daye he shall purifye him selfe, & wasshe hys clothes, & bathe him selfe in water, and shalbe cleane at euen. ²⁰ But the man that is vncleane, and sprynkleth not him selfe, the same soule shalbe destroyed from amonge the congregacyon: because he hath defyled the holy place of the Lorde, and the sprynklynge water hath not bene sprynkled vpon him, therfore shall he remayne vncleane. And thys shalbe a perpetuall lawe vnto them. And he that sprynkleth the sprynklynge water, shall washe his clothes. ²¹ And he that toucheth the sprynklyng water shalbe vncleane vntyll euen. ²² And whatsoeuer the vncleane persone toucheth, shalbe vncleane. And the soule that toucheth it, shalbe vncleane vntyll the euen.

⁸ But the worde of the Lorde came to me, saying: thou hast shed moch bloude, and hast made greate battelles: thou shalt therfore not buyld an house vnto my name, for thou hast shed moch bloude vpon the erth in my syght.

² Than sayde Iacob vnto hys housholde and to all that were wyth hym: put awaye the straunge goddes that are amonge you and be cleane, and chaunge youre garmentes,

¹⁰ And the Lorde sayd vnto Moses: Go vnto the people, and sanctifye them to daye and to morowe, and let them wash theyr clothes:

¹⁴ Thys is the lawe of the man that dyeth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shalbe vncleane seuen dayes. ¹⁵ And all the vessels that be open whych haue no lyd nor couerynge vpon them, shalbe vncleane. ¹⁶ And whosouer toucheth one that is slayne with a swerde in the feldes, or a deed persone, or a bone of a deed man, or a graue: shall be vncleane seuen dayes.

²² And whatsoeuer the vncleane persone toucheth, shalbe vncleane. And the soule that toucheth it, shalbe vncleane vntyll the euen.

¹⁶ These are the ordynaunces whiche the Lorde commaunded Moses, betwene a man and hys wyfe: and betwene the father and his daughter, beynge yet a damsell in her fathers house.

³² And whatsoeuer any of the dead carkasses of them doth fall vpon, shalbe vncleane: whether it be vessell of wodd, or rayment, or skynne, or bagge, or what soeuer vessell it be that any worke is wroughte in. And it must be plunged in the water, & it shall be vncleane vntyll the euen, and so shall it be clensed.

¹⁷ And all the clothes and all the furres wherin is suche seede of slepe, shalbe wasshed with water, and be vncleane vnto the euen.

⁷ But thus shalt thou do vnto them, when thou cleansest them: sprynckle water of purifyenge vpon them, and let them make a rasure to runne alonge vpon all the fleshe of them, and let them washe their clothes, and so make them selues cleane.

⁹ And a man that is cleane, shall take vp the asshes of the kowe, and put them without the hoste in a cleane place. And it shall be kepte for the multitude of the chyldren of Israel for a sprenklynge water and for an atonement of synne.

¹⁷ Therfore, for an vncleane persone they shall take of the burnt asshes of the synofferynge, & runnynge water shall be put therto in a vessell.

² Yf thou goest thorow the water, I wilbe with the, that the stronge floudes shulde not pluck the awaye. And yf thou walckest thorowe the fyre, it shall not burne the, and the flame shall not kyndle vpon the.

⁹ And the same thyrde parte wyll I bringe thorow the fire, & wil clense them, as the siluer is clensed: yee, & trye them lyke as golde is tryed. Then shall they call vpon my name and I will heare them: I wyll saye: it is my people. And they shal saye: Lorde my God.

² yf ye wyll not heare it, ner regard it, to geue the glory vnto my name, sayeth the Lorde of hostes, I will sende a curse vpon you, & will curse youre blessynges: yee curse them wyll I yf ye do not take hede. ³ Beholde, I shall corrupte your sede, and cast donge in youre faces, euen the donge of youre solempne feastes and it shall cleue fast vpon you.

¹¹ I baptyse you in water vnto repentaunce: but he that shall come after me is myghtyer then I, whose shoes I am not worthy to beare. He shall baptise you with the holy ghost and with fyre:

¹³ euery mannes worcke shall appeare. For the daye shall declare, whych shalbe shewed in fyre. And the fyre shall trye euery mannes worcke, what it is.

²⁶ to sanctifye it, and clensed it in the fountayne of water thorow the worde,

⁵ not by the dedes of rightewesnes which we wrought, but accordynge to hys mercye he saued vs by the fountayne of the newe byrth, and renuynge of the holy goost, ⁶ which he shedd on vs abountdantly, thorowe Iesus Christ oure saueoure,

⁷ that the triall of youre fayth beyng moche more precious then golde that peryssheth (though it be tryed with fyre) myght be founde vnto laude, glory and honoure, at the apperynge of Iesus Chryst,

²¹ like as baptyme also now saueth vs, not the puttynge awaye of the fylth of the flesshe, but in that a good conseyence consenteth to God, by the resurreccyon of Iesus Christ,

¹² Dearly beloued, maruayll not that ye are proued by fyre (whych thyng is to trye you) as though some straunge thing happened vnto you:

¹⁸ I counsell the to bye of me, golde tryed in the fyre, that thou mayste be ryche: and whyte rayment, that thou mayste be clothed, that thy fylthy nakednes do not appeare, & anoynt thyne eyes wyth eye salue that thou mayste se.

²⁵ and whosoeuer bereth the carkasse of them, shall washe hys clothes, and be vncleane vntyll euen.

⁹ but in the seuenth daye he shall shaue of all hys heere, namely, hys head, hys berde and hys browes: euen all hys heere shalbe shauen of. And he shall wasshe hys clothes & hys fleshe in water and he shalbe cleane.

¹³ When he also that hath an yssue, is clensed of hys yssue, he shall nombre .vij. dayes for hys clensynge, and wasshe hys clothes, & bathe hys fleshe in runnynge water, and so shall he be cleane.

¹⁹ And the cleane persone shall sprynkle vpon the vncleane the thirde daye and the seuenth daye. And the seuenth daye he shall purifye him selfe, & wasshe hys clothes, & bathe him selfe in water, and shalbe cleane at euen.

⁸ and sayd vnto them: retourne with moche ryches vnto youre tentes, and with a great multitude of catell, with syluer and golde, with brasse, and yron, and with moch rayment and deuide the spoyle of youre enemyes with youre brethren.

⁴ Then Dauid and the people that was wyth hym, lyfte vp their voyces & wept, vntyll they could wepe no more.

²⁴ For who shuld herken vnto you in thys matter? But as hys parte is that goeth downe & fyghteth, so shall his parte be, that taryeth by the stuffe, that it maye be parted alyke. ²⁵ And so from that daye forwarde: was that made a statute & lawe in Israel, vntyll thys daye.

¹² Kynges with theyr armyes dyd flye, and were discomfited, and they of the houshold deuyded the spoyle.

²⁰ And blessed be the hye God which hath delyuered thyne enemyes in to thy hande. And Abram gaue him tythes of all.

²¹ Beholde, I haue geuen the chyldren of Leui all the tenth in Israel to enheryte, for the seruyce whiche they serue in the tabernacle of witnesse.

²⁶ speake vnto the Leuites and saye vnto them when ye take of the chyldren of Israel the tythes which I haue geuen you of them for youre enheritaunce, ye shall take an heueofferynge of that same for the Lorde: euen the tenth parte of that tythe.

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.

¹⁹ But all the siluer, golde, vesselles of brasse, & yron shalbe consecrate vnto the Lorde, & shal come into his treasurie.

¹¹ Which brasse kyng Dauid dyd dedicat vnto the Lord wt the syluer and golde that he had consecrated of all nacyons, whych he subdued: ¹² of Siria of the Moabites, & of the chyldren of Ammon, of the Philistines, & of Hamalek, and of the spoyle of Hadarezer sonne of Rehob kyng of Zoba.

¹¹ And kynge Dauid dedicated them vnto the Lorde, with the syluer & gold that he brought from all nacyons, from Edom, from Moab, from the chyldren of Ammon, from the Philistines, & from Amalec.

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:

⁹ Honoure the Lord wt thy substaunce: and with thy firstlinges of all thyne encrease ¹⁰ so shall thy barnes be fylled with plenteousnesse: and thy presses shall flowe ouer with swete wyne.

⁷ In that tyme shal there a present be brought vnto the Lorde of hoostes: euen a people that is scatred abrode, and robbed of that they had, that same people which hath bene fearfull from theyr begynnyng hyther to: a nacyon troden downe by lytle and lytle whose lande the floudes haue spoyled: To the place of the name of the Lord of hoostes, euen to the mount Syon.

¹⁸ Their occupieng also and their rewarde shalbe holy vnto the lord. Their gaynes shall not be layde vp ner kepte in stoare, but it shalbe theyrs that dwell before the lorde, that they maye eate ynough, & haue clothyng sufficient.

⁹ The Iles also shall wayte for me, & specially the shyppes of Tharsis: that they maye brynge thy sonnes from farre, & theyr syluer & their golde with them, vnto the name of the Lorde thy God, vnto the holy one of Israel, that hath glorifyed the.

²¹ They saye vnto him, Cesars. Then sayd he vnto them. Geue therfore vnto Cesar, the thinges whych are Cesars: & vnto God, those thinges that are Gods

²⁷ And thou shalt sanctifye the brest of the waueoffering: and the shoulder of the heueofferyng which is waued and heued vp of the ram of the consecracyon for Aaron and for his sonnes.

¹² And ye shall reioyse before the Lorde youre God, ye and youre sonnes, & youre daughters, youre seruauntes and youre maydens, and the Leuite that is wythin youre gates for asmoch as he hath no parte nor enheritaunce wyth you.

¹⁹ Beware, that thou forsake not the Leuite, as longe as thou lyuest vpon the erth.

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.

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,

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.

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. 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.

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:

²³ But the Leuites shall do the seruice in the tabernacle of witnesse & beare theyr synne, It shalbe a lawe foreuer in youre generacyons, that amonge the chyldren of Israel they possesse none enheritaunce. ²⁴ But the tythes of the chyldren of Israel whyche they paye as an heue offerynge vnto the Lorde, I haue geuen the Leuites to enheret. And therfore I haue sayed vnto them. Amonge the chyldren of Israel ye shall possesse none enheritaunce. ²⁵ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saying: ²⁶ speake vnto the Leuites and saye vnto them when ye take of the chyldren of Israel the tythes which I haue geuen you of them for youre enheritaunce, ye shall take an heueofferynge of that same for the Lorde: euen the tenth parte of that tythe. ²⁷ And thys youre heueoffering shalbe rekened vnto you, euen as though it were of the corne of the barne, or out of the fulnesse of the wyne presse. ²⁸ Of thys maner ye shall therfore separate an heueofferynge vnto the Lorde, of all youre tythes which ye receaue of the chyldren of Israel, and ye shall geue ther of vnto the Lord an heueofferynge, whyche shall belonge to Aaron the preaste.

²⁸ And take a porcyon vnto the Lorde of the men of warre, which went out to battayll: one soule of fyue hundred, both of the wemen and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the shepe:

²⁷ & they laye rounde aboute the house of God: because the kepynge therof pertayned to them, and they had the keyes to open euery mornynge. ²⁸ And certen of them had the rule of the mynistringe vessels, & brought them in and out by tale. ²⁹ Some of them were appoynted to ouerse the vesselles, and all the ornamentes of the Sanctuary, and the floure, wine, oyle, frankincense and swete odoures.

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.

²⁰ And of the Leuites, Ahiah had the ouersyght of the treasure of the house of God, and of the treasure of the dedicat thynges. ²¹ As concernyng the sonnes of Laadan whych were the chyldren of the Gersonites. 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,

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.

² Furthermore it is required of the stewardes, that a man be founde faythfull.

¹³ Do ye not knowe, howe that they which minister aboute holy thinges lyue of the sacrifyce? They which wayte of the temple, are partakers of the temple. ¹⁴ Euen so also dyd the Lord ordayne: that they whych preach the Gospell, shulde lyue of the Gospell.

¹⁷ And saye to Archyppus: take hede to the offyce that thou hast receaued in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.

¹⁷ Obeye them that haue the ouer syght of you, & submyt your selues vnto them, for they watch for your soules, euen as they that must geue acomptes: that they maye do it with ioye, & not with grefe. For that is an vnproffitable thyng for you.

⁹ And euery heue offeringe that is made of the holy thynges of the chyldren of Israel whych they brynge vnto the Preaste, shall be hys:

⁸ And the Lorde spake vnto Aaron: behold, I haue geuen the the kepynge of myne heue offerynges of all the halowed thynges of the chyldren of Israel. Euen vnto the, I haue geuen them for the anoyntinge, and to thy sonnes, for a dutye for euer.

¹⁹ All the holy heueofferynges whych the chyldren of Israel offre vnto the Lorde, haue I geuen the and thy sonnes and thy daughters wyth the, to be a dutye foreuer: let it be a salted couenaunte for euer, before the Lorde, both vnto the & to thy seed with the.

²⁹ and ye shall take it of theyr halfe, and geue it vnto Eeleazar the preast, as an heueoffering of the Lord. 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. ³¹ And Moses and Eleazar the preaste dyd as the Lorde commaunded Moses.
