⁴¹ Then Moses seuered .iij. cities on the other syde Iordane towarde the sonne rysynge, ⁴² that he shulde fle thiter which had kylled his neyghboure vnwares and hated him not in tyme past and therfore shulde fle vnto one of the same cities and lyue ⁴³ 43: Bezer in the wildernesse euen in the playne contre amonge the Rubenites: and Ramoth in Gilead amonge the Gaddites and Solan in Basan amonge the Manassites.

¹ When the Lorde thy Gad hath destroyed the nacyons whose londe the Lorde thy God geueth the, and thou hast conquered the and dwellest in their cities and in their housses: ² thou shalt appoynte .iij. cities in the lande whiche the Lorde thy God geueth the to possesse it: ³ thou shalt prepare the waye and deuyde the costes of thy lande whiche the Lorde thy God geueth the to enheret, in to .iij. partes that whosoeuer committeth murthur may flee thither. ⁴ And this is the cause of the sleyer that shal flee thither and be saued: Yf he smyte his neghboure ignorantly and hated him not in tyme passed: ⁵ As when a man goeth vnto the wodd with his neghboure to hew wod, and as his hade fetcheth a stroke with the axe, the head slippeth from the helue and smyteth his neghboure that he dye: the same shall flee vnto one off the same cities ad be saued. ⁶ Lest the executer of bloude folowe after the sleyer while his hert is whote and ouertake him, because the waye is longe, and slee him, and yet there is no cause worthy of deeth in him, in as moch as he hated not his neghbour in tyme passed. ⁷ Wherfore I commaunde the sayeng: se that thou appoynte out .iij. cities. ⁸ And yf the Lorde thy God enlarge thy costes as he hath sworne vnto thy fathers and geue the all the londe which he sayed he wold geue vnto thy fathers ⁹ (so that thou kepe all these commaundmentes to doo them, which I commaunde the this daye, that thou loue the Lord thy god ad walke in his wayes euer) then thou shalt adde .iij. cities moo vnto those .iij. ¹⁰ that innocent bloude be not shed in thi lande which the Lorde thy God geueth the to enheret, and so bloude come vppon the,

³⁰ And the soule that doth ought presumptuously whether he be an Israelite or a strauger the same hath despysed the Lorde. And that soule shalbe destroyed from amonge his people ³¹ because he hath despised the worde of the Lorde and hath broke his comaudmentes yt soule therfore shall perysh ad his synne shalbe apon him.

²⁰ Yf he thrust him of hate or hourle at him with layenge of wayte that he dye ²¹ or smyte him with his hande of enuye that he dye he that smote him shall dye for he is a murtherer. The iustice of bloude shall slee him as soone as he fyndeth him.

⁴³ And whe I told you ye wold not heare: but disobeyed the mouth of the Lorde, and went presumptously vp in to the hilles.

¹² And that man that will doo presumptuously, so that he will not herken vnto the preast that stondeth there to mynistre vnto the Lorde thi God or vnto the iudge, shall dye: and so thou shalt put awaye euell from Israel. ¹³ And all the people shall heare and shall feare, and shall doo nomare presumptuosly,

²² When a prophete speaketh in the name of the Lorde, yf the thynge folow not nor come to passe, that is the thinge which the Lorde hath not spoken. But the prophete hath spoken it presumptuously: be not aferde therfore of him.

²⁴ Cursed be he that smyteth his neghboure secretly, and all the people shall saye Ame.

²⁶ For yf we synne willyngly after that we have receaved the knowledge of the trueth there remayneth no more sacrifice for synnes

¹⁰ namely them that walke after the flesshe in the lust of vnclennes and despyse the rulars. Presumpteous are they and stubborne and feare not to speake evyll of them that are in auctorite.

¹⁸ Yf any man haue a sonne that is stuburne, and disobedient, that he will not herken vnto the voyce of his father and voyce of his mother, and they haue taught him nurture, but he wolde not herken vnto them: ¹⁹ Then let his father and his mother take him and brynge hym out vnto the elders of that citie and vnto the gate of that same place, ²⁰ ad saye vnto the elders of the citie. This oure sonne is stoburne and disobedient and will not herken vnto oure voyce, he is a ryoter and a dronkarde. ²¹ Then let all the men of that citie stone him with stones vnto deeth. And so thou shalt put euell awaye from the, and all Israel shall heare and feare.

⁴ Yf the thefte be founde in his hande alyue (whether it be oxe, asse or shepe) he shall restore double.

⁷ Yf any man be founde stealynge any of his brethern the childern of Israel, ad maketh cheuesaunce of him or selleth him, the thefe shall dye. And thou shalt put euell awaye from the.

⁹ Whosoeuer curseth his father or mother, shall dye for it, his bloude on his heed, because he hath cursed his father or mother. ¹⁰ He that breaketh wedlocke with another mans wife shall dye for it: because he hath broke wedlocke with his neghbours wife, and so shall she likewise.

¹⁶ Cursed be he that curseth his father or hys mother, and all the people shall saye Amen.

³ He answered and sayde vnto them: why do ye also transgresse ye comaundment of God thorowe youre tradicions? ⁴ For God comaunded sayinge: honoure thy father and mother and he that cursseth father or mother shall suffer deeth. ⁵ But ye saye every ma shall saye to his father or mother: That which thou desyrest of me to helpe ye with: is geven God: ⁶ and so shall he not honoure his father or his mother. And thus haue ye made yt the comaundment of God is with out effecte through youre tradicios.

¹⁰ For Moses sayde: Honoure thy father and thy mother: and whosoever cursseth father or mother let him dye for it. ¹¹ But ye saye: a man shall saye to father or mother Corban: which is: that thou desyrest of me to helpe the with is geven God.

¹³ And he went out a nother daye: and beholde, two Ebrues stroue to gether. And he sayde vnto him that dyd the wronge: wherfore smytest thou thine neyghboure?

²⁰ Yf a man smyte his servaunte or his mayde with a staffe that they dye vnder his hande, it shalbe auenged.

¹¹ Yf when men stryue together, one with another, the wife of the one rune to, for to ryd hyr husbonde out of the handes of him that smyteth him and put forth hir hande and take him by the secrettes:

¹⁵ And the LORde sayd vnto hi Not so but whosoever sleyth Cain shalbe punyshed .vij. folde. And ye LORde put a marke vpo Cain that no ma yt founde hym shulde kyll hym.

²⁴ For Cain shall be avenged sevenfolde: but Lamech seventie tymes sevenfolde.

²⁶ Yf a man smyte his servaunte or his mayde in the eye and put it out, he shall let the goo fre for the eyes sake. ²⁷ Also yf he smyte out hys servauntes or his maydes toth, he shall let the go out fre for the tothes sake.

¹⁹ The iudge of bloude shall slee the murtherer as sone as he fyndeth him:

³⁰ Whosoeuer sleeth shalbe slaine at ye mouthe of witnesses. For one witnesse shall not answere agenste one persone to put him to deeth. ³¹ Moreouer ye shall take none amendes for the lyfe of the murtherer whiche is worthy to dye: But he shall be put to deeth. ³² Also ye shall take none atonement for him yt is fled to a fre citie that he shulde come agayne and dwell in the londe before the deeth of the hye preast. ³³ And se that ye polute not the londe which ye are in for bloude defyleth the londe. And the londe can none other wyse be clensed of ye bloude that is shed therein but by the bloude of it that shed it.

²¹ And let thyne eye haue no compassio, but life for life, eye for eye, toth for toth, hande for hand, and fote for fote.

⁴ For he is the minister of God for thy welth. But and yf thou do evyll then feare: for he beareth not a swearde for nought: but is the minister of God to take vengeaunce on them that do evyll.

⁴⁴ Yf thou wilt haue bondseruauntes and maydens thou shalt bye them of the heythen that are rounde aboute you ⁴⁵ and of the childern of the straungers that are soiorners amonge you ad of their generacios that are with you, which they begate in youre lade. ⁴⁶ And ye shall possesse them and geue them vnto youre childern after you, to possesse them for euer: and they shalbe youre bond men: But ouer youre brethern the childern of Israel ye shall not reigne one ouer another cruelly.

³⁰ Yf he be sett to a summe off money, then he shall geue for the delyueraunce off his lyfe, acordynge to all that is put vnto him.

¹⁸ Then let the elders of that citie take that man and chastyce him ¹⁹ and merce him in an hundred sycles of syluer and geue them vnto the father of the damsell, because he hath brought vpp an euell name vppon a mayde in Israel. And she shalbe his wife, and he may not put her awaye all his dayes.

¹⁹ Yf a man mayme his neyghboure as he hath done, so shall it be done to him agayne:

³¹ Moreouer ye shall take none amendes for the lyfe of the murtherer whiche is worthy to dye: But he shall be put to deeth.

¹⁹ Yf a man mayme his neyghboure as he hath done, so shall it be done to him agayne: ²⁰ broke for broke, eye for eye and toth for toth: euen as he hath maymed a man, so shall he be maymed agayne.

³⁸ Ye have hearde how it ys sayd an eye for an eye: a tothe for a tothe. ³⁹ But I saye to you that ye resist not wroge. But whosoever geve the a blowe on thy right cheke tourne to him the other. ⁴⁰ And yf eny man will sue the at the lawe and take awaye thy coote let hym have thy cloocke also.

² Why seist thou a moote in thy brothers eye and perceavest not the beame yt ys yn thyne awne eye.

³⁸ Geve and yt shalbe geven vnto you: good measure pressed doune shaken to geder and runnynge over shall men geve into youre bosomes. For with what measure ye mete with ye same shall men mete to you agayne.

⁶ for they shed out the bloude of sayntes and prophettes and therfore hast thou geven them bloud to drynke: for they are worthy.

¹⁹ Wrest not the lawe nor knowe any persone nether take any rewarde: for giftes blynde the wise and peruerte the wordes of the righteous.

⁹ And ye masters do eve the same thinges vnto them puttinge awaye threateninges: and remember that even youre master also is in heven nether is ther eny respecte of person with him.

¹ Ye masters do vnto youre servauntes that which is iust and egall seinge ye knowe that ye also have a master in heven.

⁵ For verely the bloude of yow wherein youre lyves are wyll I requyre: Eue of the hande of all beastes wyll I requyre it And of the hande of man and of the hand off euery mannes brother wyll I requyre the lyfe of man: ⁶ so yt he which shedeth mannes bloude shall haue hys bloud shed by man agayne: for God made man after his awne lycknesse.

³² But yf it be a servaunt or a mayde that the oxe hath gored, then he shall geue vnto their master the summe of .xxx sicles, ad the oxe shall be stoned.

¹⁵ Yf a man lye with a beest he shall dye, and ye shall slee the beest. ¹⁶ Yf a woma go vnto a beest ad lye doune thereto: thou shalt kyll the woma ad the beest also they shal dye, ad their bloud be apo their hedes

¹ Yf one be founde slayne in the land whiche the Lorde thy God geueth the to possesse it, and lieth in the feldes, and not knowne who hath slayne him: ² Then let thine elders and thy iudges come forth ad meet vnto the cities that are rounde aboute the slayne. ³ And let the elders of that citie which is nexte vnto the slayne ma, take an heyffer that is not laboured with nor hath drawen in the iocke, ⁴ and let them bringe her vnto a valeye where is nether earinge nor sowenge, ad strike of hir heed there in the valey. ⁵ Then let the preastes the sonnes of Leui come forth (for the Lorde thy God hath chosen them to ministre and to blesse in the name off the Lorde and therfore at their mouthe shall all strife and plage be tryed). ⁶ And all the elders of the citie that is nexte to the slayne man shall wasshe their handes ouer the heyffer that is beheded in the playne, ⁷ and shall answere ad saye: oure handes haue not shed this bloude nether haue oure eyes sene it. ⁸ Be mercifull Lord vnto thy people Israel which thou hast delyuered and put not innocent bloude vnto thy people Israel: and the bloude shalbe forgeuen the ⁹ And so shalt thou put innocent bloud fro the, when thou shalt haue done that which is right in the syght of the Lorde.

¹² when thou takest the summe of the childern of Israel ad tellest them, they shall geue euery ma a reconcylinge of his soule vnto the Lorde, that there be no plage amonge them when thou tellest them.

²⁸ Yf an oxe gore a man or a woman that they dye, then the oxe shalbe stoned, and hys flesh shall not be eaten: and his master shall go quyte. ²⁹ Yf the oxe were wont to runne at men in tyme past and it hath bene tolde his master, and he hath not kepte him, but that he hath kylled a man or a woman: then the oxe shalbe stoned and hys master shall dye also.

¹⁵ and sayd: what will ye geve me and I will deliver him vnto you? And they apoynted vnto him thirty peces of sylver.

³ Then when Iudas which betrayed him sawe that he was condempned he repented him sylfe and brought ageyne the .xxx. plattes of sylver to ye chefe prestes and elders ⁴ sayinge: I have synned betrayinge the innocent bloud. And they sayde: what is that to vs?
