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

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

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

²⁸ I haue heard the murmuringes of the chyldren of Israel with the which they murmur agaynst me. Tell them therfore: As truly as I lyue (sayth the Lorde) I will do vnto you, euen as ye haue spoken in myne eares. ²⁹ Youre carkasses shall lye in this wildernes. And all you that were tolde thorowout your nombres, from .xx. yeare and aboue (which haue murmured against me) ³⁰ shalt not come into the land, ouer which I lyfted vp myne hande, to make you dwell therin, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, and Iosua the sonne of Nun.

² take the nomber of all the multytude of the chyldren of Israel from .xx. yeare and aboue thorowe out theyr fathers houses, all that are able to goo to warre in Israel.

⁶⁴ And among these there was not a man of them, whom Moses and Aaron nombred, when they tolde the chyldren of Israel in the wyldernesse of Sinai. ⁶⁵ For the Lorde sayde of them: they shall dye in the wildernes: and ther was not left a man of them, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, and Iosua the sonne of Nun.

³⁵ there shall not one of these men and of this frowarde generacyon se that good lande which I sware to geue vnto youre fathers,

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

⁸ Neuerthelesse my brethren that went vp wyth me, dyscouraged the herte of the people. And I folowed the Lorde God. ⁹ And Moses sware the same daye, saying: the lande wheron thy fete haue troaden, shalbe thyne enheritaunce and thy chyldrens for euer, because thou hast folowed the Lorde God.

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

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

³⁶ saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, he shall se it and to hym wyll I geue that lande that he hath trodden vpon, and to his chyldren, because he hath folowed the Lord

³³ And your children shall wander in this wildernes .xl. yeres, & suffer for your whordom, vntyll your carkasses be wasted in the wildernes, ³⁴ after the nombre of the dayes in which ye searched out the lande euen fourty daies, euery daye for a yeare shall ye beare your vnrighteousnes euen .xl. yeare, and ye shall knowe my displeasure. ³⁵ I the Lorde haue sayde that I wyll do it vnto all thys euell congregacion that are gathered together agaynst me. For in this wildernes they shalbe consumed, and here they shall dye.

³³ Therfore, their dayes dyd he consume in vanyte, and their yeares in trouble.

⁵ But in many of them had God no delyte: For they were ouerthrowen in the wyldernes.

³ And Adam lyued an hundreth & thyrtye yeres, & begat (a sonne) in hys owne lyknesse after his ymage, & called his name Seth.

²¹ And the Lorde smelled a swete (or quyete) sauoure. And the Lorde sayde in his herte: I wyll not proceade to curse the grounde any more for mannes sake, for the ymagynacyon of mans hert is euel euen from hys youth. Neyther wyl I adde to smite any more euery thynge liuynge, as I haue done,

³⁴ And the Lorde hearde the voyce of youre wordes, and was wroth, & sware, sayinge: ³⁵ there shall not one of these men and of this frowarde generacyon se that good lande which I sware to geue vnto youre fathers,

¹³ And after that all these thinges are come vpon vs (because of oure euell dedes & greate trespaces) thou oure God hast thrust downe oure wickednesses, & hast geuen vs a delyueraunce, ¹⁴ And yf we turne backe agayne, to let go thy commaundementes, and make contracte with the people of these abhominacions, wilt thou not then be wroth at vs (& not without cause) tyl we be vtterly consumed, so that nothyng remayne, and tyll there be no delyueraunce?

¹⁰ And Esdras the preaste stode vp, and sayde vnto them. Ye haue transgressed, and haue taken straunge wyues, to make the trespace of Israel yet more:

²⁴ And the chyldren went in, and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them the inhabyter of the lande, euen the Cananites, and gauest them into theyr hande, with their kynges and the people of the lande, that they might do with them what they wolde. ²⁵ And they wanne theyr stronge cyties, and a fat lande, and toke possessyon of houses that were full of all maner of goodes, welles digged out, vineyardes, oylegardens, and many frutefull trees: and they dyd eate, & were fylled, and became fat, and lyued in welth thorow thy greate goodnes. ²⁶ Neuertheles they were disobedient, & rebelled agaynst the, and cast thy lawe behynde their backes, and slewe thy prophetes (which exhorted them earnestly, that they myght bring them agayne vnto the) & dyd greate blasphemyes.

¹⁸ Dyd not youre fathers euen thus, & our God brought all thys plage vpon vs & vpon this cytie? And ye make the wrath more yet vpon Israel, in that ye breake the Saboth.

⁴ Who can make cleane, that commeth of an vncleane thynge? Nobody.

⁵⁷ So they tempted and displeased the most hye God, and kepte not hys testimonyes.

⁴ Alas for thys synfull nacion, a people of great iniquitie: a seed of vngracious people corruptinge ther wayes. They haue forsaken the Lorde, they haue prouoked the holy one of Israel vnto anger, and are gone backward.

⁴ Wherin take ye youre pleasure? Upon whom gape ye with your mouth, & bleare out your tonge? Are ye not children of aduoutry, and a sede of dissimulacion?

⁶ Beholde it is wryten before my face, & shall not be forgotten, but recompensed. I shall rewarde it them into their bosome: ⁷ I meane youre mysdedes, and the mysdedes of youre fathers together (sayeth the Lorde) which haue made their smokes vpon the mountaynes, and blasphemed me vpon the hylles: therfore will I measure their olde dedes into their bosome againe.

²¹ Notwythstandynge, their sonnes rebelled agaynst me also: they walked not in my statutes they kepte not my lawes to fulfyll them (which he that doth shall lyue in them) nether halowed they my Sabboth dayes. Then I made me agayne to poure out my indignacion ouer them, & to satisfye my wrath vpon them in the wyldernesse.

³¹ And so ye be wytnesses vnto youre selues, that ye are the chyldren of them whych kylled the prophetes. ³² Fulfyll ye lykewyse the measure of your fathers. ³³ Ye serpentes, ye generacion of vypers, how wyll ye scape the damnacyon of hell?

⁴⁸ truly ye beare witnes, that ye alowe the dedes of youre fathers: for they kylled them, and ye buylde their sepulchres.

⁵¹ Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised hertes and eares: ye haue allwayes resysted the holy ghost: as youre fathers dyd, so do ye. ⁵² Which of the prophetes haue not your fathers persecuted? And they haue slaine them which shewed before of the comming of that Iust, whom ye haue nowe betrayd, and murdred.

¹⁴ But and yf ye wyll not harken vnto me, nor wyll do all these my commaundementes: ¹⁵ And yf ye shall despise myne ordinaunces, ether yf youre soule abhorre my lawes, so that ye wyll not do all my commaundementes, but breake myne appoyntment, ¹⁶ I also will do thys vnto you. For I will bring vpon you fearfulnesse, swellynge of body, and the burnynge agewe, to consume youre eyes, & gendre sorowe of hert. And ye shall sowe youre seed in vayne, for youre enemyes shall eate it, ¹⁷ And I wyll set my face agenste you, and ye shall fall before youre enemyes, & they that hate you, shall raygne ouer you and ye shall flee, when no man foloweth you. ¹⁸ And yf ye will not yet for all this herken vnto me, then will I punysh you seuen tymes more for youre synnes,

³⁰ shalt not come into the land, ouer which I lyfted vp myne hande, to make you dwell therin, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, and Iosua the sonne of Nun. ³¹ But your children which ye saye shulde be a praye, them I will bring in, & they shall knowe the land which ye haue refused, ³² and your carkasses shall lye in this wyldernesse.

¹⁵ But and yf thou wylt not herken vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy God, to kepe & to do all hys commaundementes and his ordinaunces, which I commaunde the this daye: all these curses shall come vpon the, and ouertake the: ¹⁶ Cursed shalt thou be in the towne, and cursed in the felde: ¹⁷ cursed shall thy baskett be, & thy store. ¹⁸ Cursed shall be the frute of thy body, and the frute of thy lande, and the frute of thyne oxen, and the flockes of thy shepe. ¹⁹ Cursed shalt thou be when thou goest in, and cursed when thou goest out. ²⁰ The Lorde shall sende vpon the, cursynge, destruccyon, and rebuke in all that thou settest thyne hande to, and that thou doest: vntyll he destroye the, and brynge the to nought quyckely, because of the wyckednesse of thyne inuencyons, and because thou hast forsaken me. ²¹ The Lorde shall make the pestilence cleaue vnto the, vntyll he haue consumed the from of the lande, whether thou goest to enioye it. ²² The Lorde shall smyte the with swellynge, wyth feuers, heet, burnynge, and wyth the swerde, with wetherynge, and with blastynge. And they shall folowe the vntyll thou peryshe. ²³ And the heauen that is ouer thy head shalbe brasse, and the erthe that is vnder the, yron. ²⁴ The Lorde shall turne the rayne of the lande vnto powder and dust: euen from heauen shall they come doune vpon the, vntyll thou be brought to nought. ²⁵ And the Lorde shall plage the before thyne enemyes: Thou shalt come out one waye agaynst them, and flee seuen wayes before them, and shall be scatered amonge all the kyngdomes of the erthe. ²⁶ And thy carkesse shalbe meate vnto all maner foules of the ayre, and vnto the beastes of the erthe, and no man shall fraye them awaye. ²⁷ The Lord wyll smyte the wt the botche of Egypte, and the emarodes, scalle, & mangenesse, that thou mayest not be healed therof. ²⁸ And the Lord shall smyte the with madnesse, and blyndnesse and dasynge of herte. ²⁹ Thou shalt grope at noone dayes, as the blinde gropeth in darkenesse, and shalt not prosper in thy wayes. Thou shalt be oppressed wyth wronge, and be polled euermore, & no man shall sucker the. ³⁰ Thou shalt be betrowthed vnto a wyfe, and another man shall lye wyth her. Thou shalt buylde an house, and not dwell therin. Thou shalt also plante a vyneyarde, and shalt not gather the grapes. ³¹ Thyne oxe shalbe slayne before thyne eyes, and thou shalt not eate therof. Thyne asse shalbe violently taken a waye euen before thy face, and shall not be restored to the agayne. Thy shepe shalbe geuen vnto thine enemyes, and no man shall rescue them. ³² Thy sonnes and thy daughters shall be geuen vnto another nacyon, and thyne eyes shall se it, & dase vpon them all the daye longe, and there shalbe no myghte in thyne hande. ³³ The frute of thy lande and all thy laboures shall a nacion whych thou knowest not, eate, & thou shalt continually suffre violence onely, and be oppressed alwaye: ³⁴ so that thou shalt be cleane besyde thy selfe, for the syghte of thyne eyes whych thou shalt se: ³⁵ The Lorde shall smyte the in the knees and legges, wyth a myscheuous botche that can not be healed: euen from the sole of thy fote vnto the toppe of thy head. ³⁶ The Lorde shall brynge the and thy kynge (which thou shalt set ouer the) vnto a nacyon, which nether thou nor thy fathers haue knowne, that there thou mayest serue straunge Goddes: euen wodd and stone. ³⁷ And thou shalt be wondred at, spoken of, & iested at amonge all nacyons, whether the Lorde shall carye the. ³⁸ Thou shalt carye moche seed out in to the felde, and shalt gether but lytle in: for the greshoppers shall destroye it. ³⁹ Thou shalt plante a vyneyarde and dresse it, but shalt nether dryncke of the wyne, nether gether the grapes, for the wormes shall eate it. ⁴⁰ Thou shalt haue oliue trees thorowe out all thy coastes, but shalt not anoynte thy selfe wyth the oyle, for thyne olyue trees shalbe roted out. ⁴¹ Thou shalt beget sonnes, and daughters, but shalt not haue them: for they shalbe caryed a waye captyue. ⁴² All thy trees and frute of thy lande shalbe marred wyth blastynge. ⁴³ The straunger that is amonge you, shall clyme aboue the vp on hye, and thou shalt come doune beneth alowe. ⁴⁴ He shall lende the, & thou shalt not lende hym: he shalbe before, & thou behynde. ⁴⁵ Moreouer, all these curses shall come vpon the, and shall folowe the and ouertake the, tyll thou be destroyed: because thou herkenedst not vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy God, to kepe hys commaundementes, and hys ordinaunces, whych he commaunded the, ⁴⁶ and they shalbe vpon the as myracles and wonders, and vpon thy seed for euer, ⁴⁷ because thou seruedst not the Lorde thy God wyth ioyfulnesse and wyth a good herte, whan thou haddest aboundaunce of all thynges, ⁴⁸ therfore thou shalt serue thyne enemye, whych the Lorde shall sende vpon the in hunger and thyrst, in nakednesse, and in nede of all thynge: and he shall put a yocke of yron vpon thy necke, vntyll he haue broughte the to nought. ⁴⁹ And the Lord shall brynge a nacyon vpon the from a farre, and from the ende of the worlde, as swifte as an egle flyeth: a nacyon whose tonge thou shalt not vnderstande: ⁵⁰ a harde fauoured nacyon, whych shall not regarde the person of the olde, nor haue compassyon on the younge. ⁵¹ The same shall eate the frute of thy catell, and the frute of thy londe, vntyll he haue destroyed the: and shall leaue the nether corne, wyne, nor oyle, nether the encrease of thyne oxen, nor the flockes of thy shepe: vntyll he haue brought the to nought. ⁵² And he shall kepe the in, in all thy cyties, vntyll he haue cast downe thy hye walles and stronge holdes, wherin thou trustedst, thorowe out all the lande. And he shall besege the in all thy cyties thorowe out all thy lande, whych the Lorde thy God hath geuen the. ⁵³ And thou shalt eate the frute of thyne awne bodye: the fleshe of thy sonnes, and of thy daughters, whych the Lorde thy God hath geuen the, in that straytenesse and sege, wherwith thyne enemye shall besege the: ⁵⁴ so that it shall greue the man (that is tender & exceadynge delycate amonge you,) to loke on hys brother and vpon hys wyfe that lyeth in hys bosome, and on the remnaunte of hys chyldren, whych he hath yet lefte: ⁵⁵ for feare of geuynge (vnto anye of them) of the fleshe of hys chyldren, whom he shall eate, because he hath nothynge left hym in that straytenesse & sege, wherwith thyne enemye shall besege the in all thy cyties. ⁵⁶ Yee and the woman that is so tender and delycate, that she dare not aduenture to set the sole of her foote vpon the grounde, (for softnesse and tendernesse) shalbe greued to loke on her husbande that lyeth in her bosome, & on her sonne and on her daughter: ⁵⁷ and on hyr after byrthe (that is come out from betwene her legges,) and her chyldren whych she shall beare: For whan all thynges lack, she shall eat them secretly, in the sege & straytenesse, wherwith thyne enemye shall besege the in thy cyties. ⁵⁸ If thou wylt not kepe and do all the wordes of thys lawe (that are wrytten in thys boke,) and feare thys gloryous and fearfull name of the Lorde thy God: ⁵⁹ the Lorde will sende vnto the and thy seed, greate plages and of longe continuaunce, ⁶⁰ euell sycknesses and of longe duraunce. Moreouer he will bringe vpon the all the diseases of Egypte, and those whych thou wast afrayed of shall cleaue vnto the. ⁶¹ And all maner syckenesses, and all maner plages whych are not wrytten in the boke of thys lawe, wyll the Lorde brynge vpon the, vntyll he bringe the to noughte. ⁶² And ye shalbe lefte fewe in nombre, where before ye were as the starres of heauen in multytude: because thou woldest not herken vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy God. ⁶³ And it shall come to passe, that as the Lord reioysed ouer you, to do you good, & to multiplye you: euen so he wyll reioyse ouer you, to destroye you, & to brynge you to nought. And ye shalbe wasted from of the land, whether thou goest to enioye it. ⁶⁴ And the Lorde shall scater the amonge all nacions, from the one ende of the worlde vnto the other, and there thou shalt serue straunge goddes, whych thou nor thy fathers haue knowne: euen wodd and stone. ⁶⁵ And amonge these nacyons thou shalt fynde no ease, neyther shall the sole of thy foote haue rest. But the Lorde shall geue the there an vnquyet herte, and dasyng eyes, and sorowe of mynde. ⁶⁶ And thy lyfe shall hange before the and thou shalt feare both daye, and nyghte, & shalt haue no trust in thy lyfe. ⁶⁷ In the mornynge thou shalt saye, wolde God it were nyght. And at nyght thou shalt saye: wolde God it were mornynge: for feare, of thyne harte whych thou shall feare & for the syghte of thyne eyes, whych thou shalt se. ⁶⁸ And the Lorde shall brynge the into Egipt agayne wyth shyppes, by the waye which I bad the, that thou shuldest se it no moare. And there ye shalbe solde vnto youre enemies, for bondmen and bondwemen: & no man shall bye you.

¹⁷ But and yf thyne herte turne awaye, so that thou wylt not heare: but shalt goo astraye, and worshyppe straunge goddes, and serue them, ¹⁸ I pronounce vnto you also this daye, that ye shall surely perysh, and that ye shall not prolonge youre dayes vpon the lande whether thou passest ouer Iordan, to go and possesse it. ¹⁹ I call heauen & erth to recorde this daye agaynst you, that I haue set before you lyfe and death, blessynge & cursynge: Therfore chose lyfe, that both thou and thy seed maye lyue,

¹⁶ Thus saye the hole congregacion of the Lorde what transgression is this that ye haue transgressed agaynst the God of Israell, to turne awaye this daye from the Lord in that ye haue bylded you an altare, for to rebelle this daye against the Lorde? 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? ¹⁸ Ye also are turned awaye thys daye from the Lorde. And seynge ye rebelle to daye agaynst the Lorde, it wil come to passe, that tomorow he shall be wroth wt all the congregacion of Israel.

¹⁹ But & yf ye turne awaye, and forsake my statutes, and my commaundementes, which I haue set before you, and shall go & serue other Gods, and worshyppe them: ²⁰ then wyll I plucke them vp by the rotes out of my lande which I haue geuen them, and this house, which I haue sanctifyed for my name, wyll I cast out of my syght, and will make it to be a prouerbe & a least amonge all nacyons. ²¹ And euery one that passeth by shalbe astonnyed at this house, which belonged to the most hye God, & shall saye, why hath the Lorde dealte on this fassion wyth thys lande and wyth thys house? ²² And they shal answere: because they forsoke the Lord God of their fathers, whyche brought them out of the lande of Egypte, and caught holde on other Gods, and worshypped them, and serued them: euen therfore hath he brought all thys euell vpon them.

² And he went out to mete Asa, & sayde vnto him: heare me Asa, and all Iuda, Beniamin. The Lorde is with you, whyle ye be with hym, and when ye seke hym, he wyll be founde of you: and agayne, when ye forsake hym, he also wyll forsake you.

²³ Therfore all thy wyues with their chyldren shall they leade forth vnto the Caldees, and thou shalt not escape their handes, but shalt be the kyng of Babilons presoner, & this cytie shalt thou cause to be brent.

⁷ Wo vnto the worlde because of offences. Necessary it is that offences come: But wo vnto the man, by whom the offence commeth.

¹⁵ If thy brother be greued wyth thy meate, nowe walkest thou not charitablye. Destroye not hym wyth thy meate, for whom Chryst dyed.

²⁰ Destroye not the worke of God for a lytell meates sake. All thinges are pure: but it is euyll for the man: which eateth wyth hurte of conscience. ²¹ It is good nether to eate flesshe, nether to drinke wyne nether eny thynge, wherby thy brother stombleth, ether falleth, or is made weake.

¹¹ And so thorow thy knowledge shall the weake brother perysshe, for whom Christ dyed. ¹² When ye synne so agaynst the brethren, & wounde their weake conscience, ye synne agaynst Christ.

¹⁷ And Iacob toke hys iourney towarde Sucoth, and buylt hym an house, and made boothes for his catell. And therfore is it, that the name of the place is called Sucoth.

²² Of the trybe of the chyldren of Dan, the lorde Bucki, the sonne of Iagli.

²⁹ and Moses saide vnto them: If the children of Gad and the children of Ruben wyll go with you ouer Iordan, all prepared to fyght before the Lord, then when the lande is subdued before you, ye shall geue them the lande of Gilead to possesse: ³⁰ but and yf they wyll not go ouer with you in harnesse, they shall haue their possessions amonge you in the lande of Canaam. ³¹ And the children of Gad and the chyldren of Ruben answered, sayinge: As the Lorde hath sayde vnto thy seruauntes, so wyll we do. ³² We will go harnessed before the Lorde into the lande of Canaan, that the possession of oure enheritaunce maye be on thys syde Iordan.

¹⁸ And I commaunded you the same tyme sayinge: the Lorde youre God hath geuen you thys lande to enioye it: ye shall go harnessed before youre brethren the chyldren of Israel, all that are mete for the warre. ¹⁹ Youre wyues onely, youre chyldren, and youre catell (for I wote that ye haue moche catell) shall abyde in youre cyties which I haue geuen you, ²⁰ vntill the Lorde haue geuen rest vnto youre brethren as well as vnto you, and vntyll they also haue conquered the lande, whyche the Lord youre God hath geuen them beyonde Iordan: and then shall ye returne agayne, euery man vnto hys possession which I haue geuen you.

¹² And the children of Ruben, & the children of Gad, & halfe the tribe of Manasses went before the children of Israel armed, as Moses charged them. ¹³ Euen fourty thousande prepared for warre, went before the Lorde vnto battell, thorow the playne of Iericho.

¹ Then Iosua called vnto the Rubenites, the Gaddites and to the halfe trybe of Manasses, ² and sayde vnto them: ye haue kept all that Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde commaunded you, and haue obeyed my voyce in all that I commaunded you: ³ ye haue not lefte youre brethren of a long ceason vnto this daye, but haue kept the commaundement of the Lorde youre God. ⁴ And now that the Lorde hath geuen rest vnto youre brethren as he promysed them, therfore retourne ye, and go vnto youre tentes, & vnto the lande of youre possession, which Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde gaue you on the other syde Iordan. ⁵ But in any wise take diligent hede, and do the commaundement and lawe, whych Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde charged you: that ye loue the Lorde youre God, and walke in all hys wayes, and kepe hys commaundementes, and cleaue vnto him, and serue him with all youre hertes, & all youre soules.

¹⁰ And so Lot lyftynge vp hys eyes, beholde all the contre of Iordane, which was a plenteous contre of water euery where, before the Lord destroyed Sodome & Gomorra, euen as the garden of the Lorde, lyke the lande of Egypte as thou commest vnto Zoar. ¹¹ Than Lot chose all the playne countrey of Iordane & toke hys iourney from the east. And so departed the one brother from the other. ¹² Abram dwelled in the lande of Canaan: and Lot abode in the cyties of the playne, & tented vntyll Sodome.

¹² And they caryed awaye Lot also Abrams brothers sonne and hys good (for he dwelled at Sodome) & departed.

³² We will go harnessed before the Lorde into the lande of Canaan, that the possession of oure enheritaunce maye be on thys syde Iordan. ³³ And Moses gaue vnto the chyldren of Gad and to the children of Ruben, and vnto halfe the trybe of Manasse the sonne of Ioseph, the kingdome of Sehon kynge of the Amorites, and the kingdome of Og king of Basan, the lande wt the cityes therof in the coastes and cityes of the countrey rounde about.

¹⁵ Two trybes and an halfe haue receaued their enheritaunce on the other syde of Iordan, oueragaynst Iericho eastwarde.

¹⁴ Youre wyues, youre children, and youre catell shall remayne in the lande which Moses gaue you on this syde Iordan: But ye shall go before youre brethren armyd, all that be men of warre, and helpe them ¹⁵ vntill the Lorde haue geuen youre brethren reast, as he hathe you, and vntill they also haue obtayned the lande, which the Lorde youre God geueth them. And then shall ye retourne vnto the lande of youre possession & enioye it, which lande Moses the Lordes seruaunt gaue you on this syde Iordan towarde the sonne rysynge.

¹ These are the kynges of the lande whych the chyldren of Israell smote, and possessed theyr land on the other syde Iordan eastwarde, from the ryuer Arnon, vnto mounte Hermon, and all the playne estwarde: ² Sehon kynge of the Amorites, that dwelt in hesbon, and ruled from Aroer, whych is besyde the ryuer of Arnon, and from the middell of the ryuer, and from halfe Gilead vnto the ryuer Iabock, whych is the border of the chyldren of Ammon: ³ And from the playne vnto the see of Cynneroth eastward, and vnto the see in the playne: euen the salt see eastwarde, the waye to Beth Iesymoth, and from the southe vnder the sprynges of the hill. ⁴ And the coaste of Og kyng of Basan which was of the remnaunt of the Gyauntes, and dwelt at Astharoth, and Edrai: ⁵ & rayned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah: and in all Basan, vnto the border of the Gesurites & the Macathites, & halfe mount Gilead, vnto the borders of Sehon kynge of Hesbon. ⁶ Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde & the children of Israel smote them, and Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde, gaue their lande for a possession, vnto the Rubenites, Gaddites, and halfe the trybe of Manasses.

⁸ For with the other halfe the Rubenites and the Gaddites haue receaued theyr enheritaunce, whych Moses gaue them beyonde Iordan eastwarde: euen as Moses the seruaunt of the Lord gaue them:

³² In those dayes the Lorde began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coastes of Israel, ³³ from Iordan eastwarde: euen all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, the Rubenites, and them that were of Manasses, from Aroer vnto the ryuer of Arnon: euen Gilead & Basan.

²⁹ In the dayes of Pekah kyng of Israel, came Thiglath Pelesar kynge of Assiria, and toke Iion, Abel, Bethmaacha, Ianoah, Kedes, Hazor, Gilead, Galile, and all the lande of Nephthali, & caryed them awaye to Assiria:

²⁵ And they transgressed agaynste the God of theyr fathers, and went a whorynge after the goddes of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them: ²⁶ and God stered vp the sprete of Phul kynge of Assiria, and the sprete of Thiglath Pilneser kynge of Assiria, and caryed them awaye: euen the Rubenytes, the Gaddites, and the halfe trybe of Manasse, and brought them vnto Halah, Habor, Hara: and to the ryuer Gozan, vnto thys daye.

²¹ The heritage that commeth to hastely at the first, shall not be praysed at the ende.

¹³ Remember the worde, which Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde commaunded you, sayinge: the Lorde youre God hathe geuen you reast, & hathe geuen you this land.

² and sayde vnto them: ye haue kept all that Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde commaunded you, and haue obeyed my voyce in all that I commaunded you: ³ ye haue not lefte youre brethren of a long ceason vnto this daye, but haue kept the commaundement of the Lorde youre God. ⁴ And now that the Lorde hath geuen rest vnto youre brethren as he promysed them, therfore retourne ye, and go vnto youre tentes, & vnto the lande of youre possession, which Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde gaue you on the other syde Iordan.

¹² And so we conquered this lande the same tyme, from Aroer whych is by the ryuer of Arnon, vnto halfe mount Gilead, & the cities therof gaue I vnto the Rubenites and Gaddites. ¹³ And the rest of Gilead and all Basan of the kyngdome of Og, gaue I vnto the halfe trybe of Manasse: euen all the rygyon of Argob with all Basan: which is called the lande of gyauntes. ¹⁴ Iair the sonne of Manasse toke all the region of Argob vnto the coastes of Gesuri and Maachati, and called them after hys owne name: Basan Hauoth Iair vnto thys daye. ¹⁵ And I gaue Gilead vnto Machir. ¹⁶ And vnto the Rubenites and Gaddites I gaue halfe Gilead vnto the ryuer of Arnon, halfe the valey & beyonde, euen vnto the ryuer Iabock, which is the border of the chyldren of Ammon: ¹⁷ the playne also and Iordan and the coast therof, from Ceneroth euen vnto the see whych is in the playne, euen the salt see vnder the springes of the hyll, eastwarde. ¹⁸ And I commaunded you the same tyme sayinge: the Lorde youre God hath geuen you thys lande to enioye it: ye shall go harnessed before youre brethren the chyldren of Israel, all that are mete for the warre.

²⁰ vntill the Lorde haue geuen rest vnto youre brethren as well as vnto you, and vntyll they also haue conquered the lande, whyche the Lord youre God hath geuen them beyonde Iordan: and then shall ye returne agayne, euery man vnto hys possession which I haue geuen you.

¹⁵ vntill the Lorde haue geuen youre brethren reast, as he hathe you, and vntill they also haue obtayned the lande, which the Lorde youre God geueth them. And then shall ye retourne vnto the lande of youre possession & enioye it, which lande Moses the Lordes seruaunt gaue you on this syde Iordan towarde the sonne rysynge.

¹⁹ And then whosoeuer doth go out at the dores of thy house, into the streat, his bloude shalbe vpon his awne head, & we wilbe giltlesse. And whosoeuer shalbe with the in the house, hys bloude shall be on oure heade, yf any mannes hande touche him:

³⁰ And the Lorde delyuered it and the kynge therof into the hand of Israell, and he smote it wyth the edge of the swerde, and all the soules that were therin. He let nought remayne in it, but dyd vnto the kyng therof as he dyd vnto the kynge of Iericho.

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

²³ And Iosua toke the whole lande, according to all that the Lord sayd vnto Moses, and Iosua gaue it for a possessyon vnto Israel according to their partes and trybes: & the lande rested from warre.

²⁹ And Moses gaue enheritaunce vnto the halfe trybe of Manasses. And this was the possession of the halfe trybe of Manasses by theyr kynredes. ³⁰ Theyr coste was from Mahanaim, euen all Basan, & all the kyngdom of Og kynge of Basan, and all the townes of Iair which lye in Basan, euen thre skore cyties, ³¹ & halfe Gilead, Astaroth, & Edrai, cyties of the kyngdome of Og in Basan whiche pertayne vnto the chyldren of Machir the sonne of Manasses, euen the halfe porcion of the chyldren of Machir by theyr kynredes. ³² These are the thinges which Moses did distribute in the feldes of Moab, on the other syde Iordan ouer against Iericho eastward.

¹ And the whole congregacion of the children of Israel came together at Silo, and set vp the tabernacle of witnesse there, and the lande was in subieccion before them.

⁴ And now that the Lorde hath geuen rest vnto youre brethren as he promysed them, therfore retourne ye, and go vnto youre tentes, & vnto the lande of youre possession, which Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde gaue you on the other syde Iordan.

⁹ And the children of Ruben, the children of Gad, and halfe the trybe of Manasses, returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Silo (which is in the lande of Canaan) to go vnto the contreye of Giliad, to the lande of their possession, which they had opteyned, according to the worde of the Lorde by the hande of Moses.

²⁸ And when after warde it cam to Dauids eare, he sayd. I and my kyngdom are giltlesse before the Lorde for euer concernyng the bloude of Abner the sonne of Ner.

¹ To the chaunter an instruccyon of the sonnes of Corah. We haue herd wt oure eares (O God) oure fathers haue tolde vs, what thou hast done in theyr tyme of old. ² How thou hast dryuen out the Heithen wt thy hande, & planted them in: how thou hast destroyed the nacions, & cast them out. ³ For thy gat not the lande in possessyon thorowe theyr awne swearde, nether was it theyr awne arme that helped them. ⁴ But thy ryght hand, and thyne arme, and the lyght of thy countenaunce, because thou haddest a fauoure vnto them.

⁵⁵ And brought them within the borders of hys Sanctuary: euen to this mountayne, whych he purchased with hys ryght hande.

⁷ And yf thou dost not well, lyeth not thy synne in the dores? Unto the also pertayneth the lust therof, and thou shalt haue dominion ouer it.

¹⁶ Then sayde Iuda: what shall we saye vnto my Lorde? what shall we speake, or what excuse can we make? God hath founde out the wykednesse of thy seruauntes. Beholde, both we & he with whom the cuppe is founde, are my Lordes seruauntes.

¹⁴ But and yf ye wyll not harken vnto me, nor wyll do all these my commaundementes: ¹⁵ And yf ye shall despise myne ordinaunces, ether yf youre soule abhorre my lawes, so that ye wyll not do all my commaundementes, but breake myne appoyntment, ¹⁶ I also will do thys vnto you. For I will bring vpon you fearfulnesse, swellynge of body, and the burnynge agewe, to consume youre eyes, & gendre sorowe of hert. And ye shall sowe youre seed in vayne, for youre enemyes shall eate it, ¹⁷ And I wyll set my face agenste you, and ye shall fall before youre enemyes, & they that hate you, shall raygne ouer you and ye shall flee, when no man foloweth you. ¹⁸ And yf ye will not yet for all this herken vnto me, then will I punysh you seuen tymes more for youre synnes, ¹⁹ and wyll breake the pryde of youre stubburnesse. And I wyll make youre heauen as yron, and youre erth as brasse. ²⁰ And youre laboure shalbe spent in vayne. For youre lande shall not geue hyr encrease, nether shall the trees of the lande geue theyr frutes. ²¹ And yf ye walke contrary vnto me, and wyll not herken vnto me, I wyll brynge seuen tymes moo plages vpon you, accordinge to youre synnes. ²² I will also sende in wilde beastes vpon you, which shall robbe you of youre children, and destroye youre catell, and make you fewe in nombre, and cause youre hye wayes to growe vnto a wyldernesse. ²³ And yf ye maye not be refourmed by these thynges but shall walke contrarye vnto me, ²⁴ then wyll I also walke contrarye vnto you, and wyll punish you yet seuen tymes for youre synnes. ²⁵ And I wyll sende a swerde vpon you, that shall auenge my testament And when ye are gathered together wythin youre cyties, I wyll sende the pestilence amonge you, and ye shalbe delyuered into the hande of the enemye. ²⁶ And when I haue broken the staffe of youre bread: ten wyues shall bake youre bread in one ouen, and they shall delyuer you youre bread agayne by weyght ye shall eate, and not be satisfyed. ²⁷ And yf ye wyll not yet for all thys herken vnto me, but shall walke agaynst me, ²⁸ I will walke contrarye vnto you also in indignacyon, and wyll chastice you seuen tymes for youre synnes. ²⁹ And ye shall eate the flesh of youre sonnes and the fleshe of youre daughters shall ye deuoure. ³⁰ I wyll destroye youre hye places, and roote out youre ymages, and cast youre carkasses vpon the bodyes of youre ydolles, and my soule shall abhorre you. ³¹ And I wyll make your cyties desolate, and brynge youre sanctuarye vnto nought, and wyll not smell the swetnesse of youre odoures. ³² I wyll brynge the lande vnto a wyldernesse, and youre enemyes which dwell therin, shall wondre at it. ³³ And I will strawe you amonge the hethen, and will drawe out a swerde after you, and youre lande shalbe wast, and youre cyties desolate. ³⁴ Then shall the lande enioye her Sabbothes, as longe as it lyeth voyde, and ye shalbe in your enemyes lande: euen then shall the lande rest, and reioyse in her Sabbothes. ³⁵ As longe as it lyeth voyde it shall rest, because it dyd not reste in youre Sabbothes, when ye dwelt vpon it. ³⁶ And vpon them that are left alyue of you, I wyll sende a fayntnesse into theyr hertes in the lande of theyr enemyes: & the sounde of a shakyng leef, shall chace them, and whan they flee the swerde, they shall fall: no man folowinge vpon them. ³⁷ They shall fall one vpon another, as it were before a swerde, euen no man folowynge vpon them, and ye shall haue no power to stande before your enemyes: ³⁸ And ye shall perish amonge the hethen, & the lande of youre enemyes shall eate you vp. ³⁹ And they that are left of you, shall pyne awaye in their vnryghteousnes, euen in their enemyes lande, and in the mysdeades of their fathers shall they consume. ⁴⁰ And they shall confesse their misdeades and the mysdeades of their fathers for their trespace, which they haue trespaced agaynst me, and for that also that they haue walked contrarye vnto me. ⁴¹ Therfore I also wyll walke contrary vnto them, and wyll brynge them into the lande of their enemyes. And then at the leest waye their vncircumcysed hertes shall be tamed, and they shall make an attonement for their mysdeades. ⁴² And I will remembre my couenaunt, with Iacob, and my bonde with Isahac, and myne appointment with Abraham, and will thynke on the lande. ⁴³ The lande shall be lefte of them, and shall enioye her Sabbothes, whyle she lyeth wast without them. And they shall make an attonement for their misdeades, because they despised my lawes, and because their soule refused myne ordinaunces: ⁴⁴ And yet for all that when they be in the lande of their enemyes, I will not cast them awaye, neyther will abhorre them, to destroye them vtterly, and to breake myne appoyntment with them: for I am the Lorde their God. ⁴⁵ I wyll for their sakes remembre the couenaunt made vnto their fathers, whom I brought out of the lande of Egypte in the syghte of the hethen, that I myght be their God: I am the Lorde. ⁴⁶ These are the ordinaunces, and iudgementes, and lawes, which the Lorde made betwene him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai, by the hande of Moses.

⁸ Thou hast set oure misdedes before the, and oure secrete synnes in the lyght of thy countenaunce.

¹¹ If I saye: paraduenture the darcknesse shall couer me, then shall my nyght be turned to daye.

¹¹ A man full of wordes shal not prosper vpon the erth: euell shall hunte the wycked person, to ouerthrowe hym.

²¹ Myschefe foloweth vpon synners, but the ryghteous shall haue a good rewarde.

¹¹ But wo be to the vngodly and vnryghteous, for they shalbe rewarded after theyr worckes.

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

¹² For oure offences are many before the, & oure synnes testifye agaynst vs. Yee, we must confesse that we offende, & knowledge that we do amysse:

⁹ tribulacyon and anguysshe vpon the soule of euery man that doth euyll: of the Iewe fyrst, and also of the Gentyle.

⁵ Therfore iudge nothinge before the tyme vntyll the Lorde come, whych wyll lyghten thinges that are hyd in darcknes, and open the counsels of the hertes. And then shall euery man haue prayse of God.

² If a man vowe a vowe vnto the Lord, or swere an oth to bynde his soule: he shall not go back with his worde: but shall fulfyll all that is proceded out of his mouth.

¹⁶ And they went nere him, and sayde: we will buylde shepefoldes here for oure shepe and for oure catell, and cityes for our children.

³⁴ And the children of Gad buylt Dibon & Ataroth, & Aroer, and Atroth, ³⁵ Sophan Iaeser, &, Iegabea, ³⁶ Bethnimra, & Betharan, fenced cities, & they buylt foldes for the shepe. ³⁷ And the children of Ruben buylt Hesbon, Eleale, Kiriathaim, ³⁸ Nebo, Baal, Meon, & turned their names, & Sibama also: and gaue other names vnto the cityes which they builded. ³⁹ And the children of Machir the sonne of Manasse went to Gilead, and toke it, & put out the Amorites that dwelt therin. ⁴⁰ And Moses gaue Gilead vnto Machir the sonne of Manasse, and he dwelt therin. ⁴¹ And Iahir the sonne of Manasse went and toke the small townes therof, and called them Hauoth Iair. ⁴² And Nobah went and toke kenath, and the townes longyng therto, & called it Nobah after his awne name.

¹³ Remember the worde, which Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde commaunded you, sayinge: the Lorde youre God hathe geuen you reast, & hathe geuen you this land. ¹⁴ Youre wyues, youre children, and youre catell shall remayne in the lande which Moses gaue you on this syde Iordan: But ye shall go before youre brethren armyd, all that be men of warre, and helpe them

¹⁴ Youre wyues, youre children, and youre catell shall remayne in the lande which Moses gaue you on this syde Iordan: But ye shall go before youre brethren armyd, all that be men of warre, and helpe them

²⁸ And Iosua the sonne of Nun the seruaunt of Moses one of hys yonge men, answered & sayde: master Moses, forbyd them.

¹¹ and Aaron sayde vnto Moses: I besech the my Lorde, put not the synne vpon vs, which we haue folishly commytted and synned.

¹⁷ But we our selues will goo ready armed before the chyldren of Israel, vntyll we haue brought them vnto their place. And our children shall dwell in the fenced cityes, because of the inhabiters of the lande.

² and sayde: The Lorde commaunded my Lord, to geue the lande to enheret by lotte to the chyldren of Israel. And my Lorde commaunded in gods behalfe, to geue the enheritaunce of Zelaphead oure brother vnto hys daughters.

¹² And the children of Ruben, & the children of Gad, & halfe the tribe of Manasses went before the children of Israel armed, as Moses charged them.

⁴ For the weapens of oure warrefare are not carnall thynges, but thynges myghty in God, to cast downe stronge holdes, ⁵ wherewith we ouerthrowe councels and euery hye thynge that exalteth it selfe agaynst the knowledge of God, and brynge into captiuyte all ymaginacion to the obedience of Christ,

¹⁰ Finally my brethren, be stronge thorowe the Lorde and thorowe the power of his myght. ¹¹ Put on all the armoure of God, that ye maye stande agaynst the assautes of the deuyll. ¹² For we wrestle not agaynst bloude and flesshe: but agaynst rule, agaynst power, agaynst worldy rulers, euen gouerners of the darcknes of thys worlde, agaynst spretuall craftynes in heauenly thynges. ¹³ Wherfore take vnto you the whole armoure of God, that ye maye be able to resyste in the euyll daye, and stande perfecte in all thinges. ¹⁴ Stande therfore, and youre loynes gyrd with the trueth, hauynge on the brest plate of ryghtewesnes, ¹⁵ & hauynge shoes on youre fete, that ye maye be prepared for the Gospell of peace. ¹⁶ Aboue all, take to you the shylde of fayth, wherwith ye maye quenche all the fyrie dartes of the wycked. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of saluacyon, and the swearde of the sprete, which is the worde of God. ¹⁸ And praye all wayes with all maner of prayer and supplicacyon in the sprete: and watch ther vnto with all instance and supplycacyon for all saynctes

⁷ I haue fought a good fyght, I haue fulfylled my course, I haue kept the fayth. ⁸ From hence forth ther is layde vp for me a crowne of ryghtewesnes, which the Lorde (that is a ryghteous iudge) shall geue me at that daye: not to me onely, but vnto all them also that loue his comminge.

¹³ Remember the worde, which Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde commaunded you, sayinge: the Lorde youre God hathe geuen you reast, & hathe geuen you this land.

¹⁹ Notwithstandyng yf ye thinke, that the lande of youre possession is vncleane, then come ouer vnto the lande of the possession of the Lorde, where in the Lordes tabernacle dwelleth, & take possession amonge vs. But transgresse not agaynst the Lorde, nor prouoke vs, to buylde you anye other aulter, saue the aulter of the Lorde oure God.

²³ But Sehon wolde geue Israel no licence to passe thorowe hys countre, but gethered all hys people together and went oute agaynst Israel into the wyldernesse. And he came to Iaheza and foughte agaynst Israel. ²⁴ And Israel smote him in the edge of the swerde, and conquered hys lande, from Arnon vnto Iakob: and vnto the chyldren of Ammon. For the border of the chyldren of Ammon was, stronge. ²⁵ And Israel toke all these cities and dwelt in all the cyties of the Amorites: in Hesbon and in all the townes that longe therto. ²⁶ For Hesbon was the cytie of Sehon the kynge of the Amorites, whyche fought before agaynst the kynge of the Moabites, and toke all his lande out of hys hande, euen vnto Arnon. ²⁷ Wherfore they saye in the prouerbe: come to Hesbon, and let the cytye of Sehon be bylt & repayred: ²⁸ for there is a fyre gone out of Hesbon, and a flamme from the cytie of Sehon, and hath consumed Ar in Moab, and the inheritours of the hye places in Arnon. ²⁹ Wo be to the Moab: o people of Chamos, ye are vndone, he hath put his sonnes to flyghte, and hys daughters to captiuyte vnto Sehon kynge of the Amorites. ³⁰ Theyr empire is lost from Hesbon vnto Dibon, and we made a wyldernesse euen vnto Nopha, whych reacheth vnto Mediba. ³¹ And thus Israel dwelt in the lande of the Amorites. ³² And Moses sent to serche oute Iaezer, and they toke townes belongynge therto, and rooted oute the Amorites that were there in. ³³ And they tourned and went vp towarde Basan. And Og the kynge of Basan came out agaynst them, he and all his people to fyght at Adrei. ³⁴ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses, feare him not, for I haue delyuered him in thy hande, and all his people, and hys lande. And thou shalt do to him as thou dydest vnto Sehon the kyng of the Amorites which dwelt at Hesbon. ³⁵ They smote hym therfore, and his sonnes, and all his people, vntill ther was nothinge lefte him. And they conquered hys lande.

¹⁴ for the tribe of the children of Ruben accordyng to the housholdes of theyr fathers, and the trybe of the chyldren of Gad accordyng to theyr fathers housholdes, and halfe the trybe of Manasse, haue receaued theyr enheritaunce.

³⁰ But Sehon the kynge of Hesbon wolde not let vs passe by him, for the Lord thy God hardened his sprete, & made his herte tough, because he wolde delyuer him into thy hande, as it is come to passe thys daye. ³¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto me: beholde, I haue begonne to set Sehon and his lande before the: go to and conquere, and possesse his lande. ³² Then both Sehon & all hys people came out agaynst vs to fyght at Iaza. ³³ And the Lorde set him before vs, & we smote him and hys sonnes and all hys people.

¹ Then we turned & went vp the waye to Basan. And Og the kynge of Basan came out agaynst vs: he and all hys people to battel at Edrai. ² And the Lord sayde vnto me: feare him not, for I wyll delyuer hym, & all his people and hys lande into thy hande, and thou shalt do vnto him, as thou dyddest vnto Sehon kinge of the Amorites, which dwelt at Hesbon. ³ And so the Lorde oure God delyuered into oure handes, Og also the kynge of Basan and all hys folke. And we smote him, vntyll none was lefte hym alyue. ⁴ And we toke all his cyties the same ceason (nether was there a cytie which we toke not from them) euen thre score cyties thorow out all the region of Argob, the kyngdome of Og in Basan. ⁵ All these cyties also were made stronge with hye walles, gates and barres, besyde vnwalled townes a greate meanye. ⁶ And we vtterly destroyed them, as we dyd vnto Sehon kynge of Hesbon, bringyng to nought all the cyties, with men, wemen and chyldren. ⁷ But all the catell and the spoyle of the cyties, we caughte for oure selues. ⁸ And thus we toke the same ceason, out of the hande of two kynges of the Amorites, the lande that was on the other syde Iordan, from the ryuer of Arnon vnto mount Hermon

¹² And so we conquered this lande the same tyme, from Aroer whych is by the ryuer of Arnon, vnto halfe mount Gilead, & the cities therof gaue I vnto the Rubenites and Gaddites. ¹³ And the rest of Gilead and all Basan of the kyngdome of Og, gaue I vnto the halfe trybe of Manasse: euen all the rygyon of Argob with all Basan: which is called the lande of gyauntes. ¹⁴ Iair the sonne of Manasse toke all the region of Argob vnto the coastes of Gesuri and Maachati, and called them after hys owne name: Basan Hauoth Iair vnto thys daye. ¹⁵ And I gaue Gilead vnto Machir. ¹⁶ And vnto the Rubenites and Gaddites I gaue halfe Gilead vnto the ryuer of Arnon, halfe the valey & beyonde, euen vnto the ryuer Iabock, which is the border of the chyldren of Ammon: ¹⁷ the playne also and Iordan and the coast therof, from Ceneroth euen vnto the see whych is in the playne, euen the salt see vnder the springes of the hyll, eastwarde.

⁸ and toke theyr lande, & gaue it for an inheritaunce vnto the Rubenites & Gadites, and to the halfe trybe of Manasse.

⁶ Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde & the children of Israel smote them, and Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde, gaue their lande for a possession, vnto the Rubenites, Gaddites, and halfe the trybe of Manasses.

⁸ For with the other halfe the Rubenites and the Gaddites haue receaued theyr enheritaunce, whych Moses gaue them beyonde Iordan eastwarde: euen as Moses the seruaunt of the Lord gaue them: ⁹ from Aroer that lyeth on the brym of the ryuer Arnon, and from the citie that is in the myddes of the ryuer. And all the playn of Medeba vnto Dibon, ¹⁰ & all the cyties of Sehon kynge of the Amorites, which raygned in Hesbon, euen vnto the border of the chyldren of Ammon: ¹¹ and Gilead, & the border of Gesuri and Machati, and all mount Hermon, with all Basan vnto Salecah: ¹² euen all the kyngdom of Og in Basan, whyche raygned in Astharoth and Edrai, which same remayned yett of the rest of the Giauntes. These dyd Moses smyte, & cast them out ¹³ Neuerthelesse the chyldren of Israel expelled not the Gesurites & the Machathites: But the Gesurites and the Machathites dwell amonge the Israelites euen vnto this daye, ¹⁴ Only vnto the trybe of Leui, he gaue none enheritaunce: But the offrynge of the Lorde God of Israel is theyr enheritaunce, as he sayde vnto them.

¹⁸ The sonnes of Ruben, and of Gad, and of halfe the trybe of Manasse, were fyghtynge men, and able to beare shylde and swearde, and to shote with bowe, excercysed in warre, euen foure and fourtye thousande, seuen hundred and threskore, that wente out to the warre.

³¹ And of the halfe trybe of Manasseh .xviii. thousande, which were appoynted by name to come and make Dauid kynge.

³² And hys brethren were men of actiuite, euen two thousand & seuen hundred auncient fathers, whom kynge Dauid made rulers ouer the Rubenites, Gaddites, and ouer the halfe trybe of Manasse, for euery matter pertaynynge to God, and for the kynges busynesse.

¹⁰ He smote diuerse nacyons, and slewe myghtye Kynges: ¹¹ Sehon Kynge of the Amorytes, and Og the kinge of Basan, & all the Kingdomes of Canaan.

¹⁸ Yee, & slue myghtye kynges: for his mercy endureth for euer. ¹⁹ Sehon kynge of the Amorites: for hys mercy endureth for euer. ²⁰ And Og the kyng of Basan: for hys mercy endureth for euer. ²¹ And gaue awaye theyr lande for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for euer.

²⁰ and from Bamoth to the valay that is in the felde of Moab vnto the top of the hyll that appeareth before Iesimon.

⁴⁵ And they departed from Iehabarim, and pitched in Dibon Gad. ⁴⁶ And they remoued from Dibon Gad, and laye in Almon Diblathaim.

³⁶ from Aroer which is by the brinke of the ryuer of Arnon, & from the cytie that is in the ryuer, vnto Gilead: there was not one cytie to stronge for vs. The Lorde oure God delyuered all vnto vs:

² The waste cityes of Aroer shalbe foldes for catel which shal lye there, and there shalbe none to fraye them awaye

²⁷ Wherfore they saye in the prouerbe: come to Hesbon, and let the cytye of Sehon be bylt & repayred:

⁴ Hesebon & Eleale shall crye, that theyr voyce shalbe hearde vnto Iahaz. The worthyes also of Moab shall bleare out and crye for very sorow of their Myndes:

¹⁸ And Isahac returnynge, digged agayne the welles of water whych they dygged in the dayes of Abraham hys father, which the Philistyans had stopped after the deth of Abraham, and gaue them the same names whych hys father gaue them.

¹³ In all thynges that I haue sayde vnto you, be circumspecte. And make no rehersall of the names of straunge goddes nether let it be hearde out of thy mouth

⁴¹ And on the morowe Balac toke Balaam, and brought hym vp into the hye place of Baal, that thence he myght se the vtmost parte of the people.

⁷ and lest that whan ye come amonge these nacions, (euen amonge these that are left with you) ye make mencion or sweare by the names of their goddes: and that ye nether serue them, nor bowe youre selues vnto them.

⁴ But they that runne after another God, shall haue greate trouble.

¹ Bell is fallen, Nabo is broken downe: whose ymages were a burthen for the beastes and catell, to ouerlade them, and to make them weery.

²³ And Ioseph sawe Ephraims chyldren, euen vnto the thyrde generacyon. And vnto Machir the sonne of Manasses were chyldren borne, on Ioseph knees.

²⁹ The chyldren of Manasse: Machir, of whom commeth the kynred of the Machirites. And Machir begat Gilead, and of Gilead commeth the kynred of the Gileadites.

¹ This was the lotte of the tribe of Manasses, which was the Eldest sonne of Ioseph. And Machir the Eldest sonne of Manasses which was the father of Gilead (and a man of warre) had Gilead and Basan,

¹³ And the rest of Gilead and all Basan of the kyngdome of Og, gaue I vnto the halfe trybe of Manasse: euen all the rygyon of Argob with all Basan: which is called the lande of gyauntes. ¹⁴ Iair the sonne of Manasse toke all the region of Argob vnto the coastes of Gesuri and Maachati, and called them after hys owne name: Basan Hauoth Iair vnto thys daye. ¹⁵ And I gaue Gilead vnto Machir.

²⁹ And Moses gaue enheritaunce vnto the halfe trybe of Manasses. And this was the possession of the halfe trybe of Manasses by theyr kynredes. ³⁰ Theyr coste was from Mahanaim, euen all Basan, & all the kyngdom of Og kynge of Basan, and all the townes of Iair which lye in Basan, euen thre skore cyties, ³¹ & halfe Gilead, Astaroth, & Edrai, cyties of the kyngdome of Og in Basan whiche pertayne vnto the chyldren of Machir the sonne of Manasses, euen the halfe porcion of the chyldren of Machir by theyr kynredes.

¹⁴ Iair the sonne of Manasse toke all the region of Argob vnto the coastes of Gesuri and Maachati, and called them after hys owne name: Basan Hauoth Iair vnto thys daye.
