\par }\ChapOne{CHAPTER 1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Forsooth the Lord called Moses, and spake to him from the tabernacle of witnessing, saying,


\par }{\PP \VS{2}Speak thou to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, A man of you, that offereth to the Lord a sacrifice of beasts, that is, of oxen and of sheep, and offereth slain sacrifices,


\par }{\PP \VS{3}if his offering is burnt sacrifice, and of the drove of oxen, he shall offer a male beast without wem at the door of the tabernacle of witnessing, to make the Lord pleased to him.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}And he shall set
{\EM{his}} hands on the head of the sacrifice, and it shall be acceptable, and profiting into the cleansing of him.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}And he shall offer a calf before the Lord, and the sons of Aaron,
{\ADD{[the]}} priests, shall offer the blood thereof, and they shall shed it by compass of the altar, that is before the door of the tabernacle.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}And when the skin of the sacrifice is drawn away, they shall cut the members into gobbets;


\par }{\PP \VS{7}and they shall put under the altar the fire, and they shall make an heap of wood
{\EM{ready}} before;


\par }{\PP \VS{8}and they shall ordain above
{\EM{that wood}} those things that be cut, that is, the head, and all things that cleave to the maw,


\par }{\PP \VS{9}when the entrails and the feet be washed with water; and the priest shall burn those
{\ADD{[or them]}} on the altar, into burnt sacrifice, and to sweet odour to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}That if the offering is of little beasts, a burnt sacrifice of sheep, either of goats, he shall offer a male beast without wem,


\par }{\PP \VS{11}and he shall offer that at the side of the altar that beholdeth to the north, before the Lord. Soothly the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof on the altar by compass,


\par }{\PP \VS{12}and they shall part the members, the head, and all things that cleave to the maw, and they shall put
{\EM{them}} on the wood, under which the fire shall be set
{\ADD{[or put]}};


\par }{\PP \VS{13}soothly they shall wash in water the entrails and
{\ADD{[the]}} feet; and the priest shall burn all things offered on the altar, into burnt sacrifice, and sweetest odour to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}Forsooth if the offering of burnt sacrifice to the Lord is of birds, of turtles, or of culver birds,


\par }{\PP \VS{15}the priest shall offer it at the altar; and when the head is writhed to the neck, and the place of the wound is broken, he shall make the blood run down on the brink of the altar.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}Soothly he shall cast forth the little bladder of the throat,
{\EM{or the crop}}, and the feathers beside the altar, at the east coast, in the place in the which the ashes be wont to be cast out;


\par }{\PP \VS{17}and the priest shall break the wings thereof, and he shall not carve it, neither part it with iron; and he shall burn it on the altar, when fire is put under the wood; it is a burnt sacrifice, and an offering of sweetest odour to the Lord.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}When a soul,
{\EM{that is, a poor man}}, offereth an offering of sacrifice to the Lord,
{\ADD{[tried]}} flour
{\EM{of wheat}} shall be his offering. And he shall pour oil thereon, and he shall put incense,


\par }{\PP \VS{2}and he shall bear it to the sons of Aaron,
{\ADD{[the]}} priest, of the which sons one of them shall take an handful of tried
{\EM{wheat}} flour, and of oil, and all the incense; and he shall put these
{\EM{as}} a memorial on the altar, into the sweetest odour to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}Forsooth that that is left of the sacrifice shall be Aaron’s and his sons’, the holy of holy things of offerings to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}Forsooth when thou offerest a sacrifice baked in an oven, of tried
{\EM{wheat}} flour, that is, loaves without sourdough, sprinkled with oil, and therf bread sodden in water, balmed with oil;


\par }{\PP \VS{5}if thine offering is of tried
{\EM{wheat}} flour sprinkled with oil, and without sourdough,
{\EM{taken}} of the frying pan,


\par }{\PP \VS{6}thou shalt part it in small parts, and thou shalt pour oil thereon.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}Else if the sacrifice
{\EM{is}} taken of the griddle, evenly the
{\ADD{[tried]}}{\EM{wheat}} flour shall be sprinkled with oil;


\par }{\PP \VS{8}the which
{\EM{wheat}} flour thou shalt offer to the Lord, and thou shalt betake it in the hands of the priest. And when he hath offered it,


\par }{\PP \VS{9}he shall take a memorial of the sacrifice, and he shall burn
{\EM{it}} on the altar, into odour of sweetness to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}Soothly whatever thing is left, it shall be Aaron’s and his sons, the holy of holy things of the offerings to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}Each offering which is offered to the Lord, shall be without sourdough, neither anything of sourdough, and of honey, shall be burnt in the sacrifice of the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}Ye shall offer only the first fruits of those
{\ADD{[or them]}}, and gifts; soothly those
{\ADD{[or they]}} shall not be put on the altar, into odour of sweetness.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}Whatever thing of sacrifice thou shalt offer, thou shalt make it savory with salt, neither thou shalt take away the salt of the bond of peace of thy God from thy sacrifice; in each offering thou shalt offer salt.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}Forsooth if thou offerest a gift of the first things of thy fruits to the Lord, of ears of corn yet green, thou shalt scorch,
{\EM{or singe}}, them in fire, and thou shalt break them in the manner of bruised corn; and so thou shalt offer thy first fruits to the Lord,


\par }{\PP \VS{15}and thou shalt pour oil there-upon, and thou shalt put incense, for it is the offering of the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}Of which the priest shall burn, into mind of the gift, a part of the bruised corn, and of the oil, and all the incense.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}That if his offering is a sacrifice of peaceable things, and he will offer of
{\ADD{[the]}} oxen, he shall offer before the Lord a male, either a female, without wem.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}And he shall set
{\EM{his}} hand upon the head of his slain sacrifice, which shall be offered in the entering of the tabernacle; and the sons of Aaron,
{\ADD{[the]}} priest, shall pour the blood by compass of the altar.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}And they shall offer of the sacrifice of peaceable things into offering to the Lord, the fatness that covereth the entrails, and whatever thing of fatness is within;


\par }{\PP \VS{4}{\EM{they shall offer}}{\ADD{[the]}} two kidneys with the fatness by which the guts called ileum be covered, and the caul of the liver, with the little reins.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}And they shall burn those
{\ADD{[or them]}} on the altar, into burnt sacrifice, when fire is put under the wood, into offering of the sweetest odour to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}Soothly if his offering is of sheep, and a sacrifice of peaceable things, whether he offereth a male or a female, they shall be without wem.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}If he offer a lamb before the Lord,


\par }{\PP \VS{8}he shall set his hand upon the head of his sacrifice, that shall be offered in the porch of the tabernacle of witnessing; and the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof by environ of the altar.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}And they shall offer of the sacrifice of peaceable things a sacrifice to the Lord, the inner fatness, and all the tail with the reins, and the fatness that covereth the womb, and all the entrails,


\par }{\PP \VS{10}and ever either little rein, with the fatness which is beside the guts called ileum, and the caul of the maw, with the little reins.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}And the priest shall burn them upon the altar, into the feeding,
{\EM{or nourishing}}, of the fire, and of the offering to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}If his offering is a goat, and he offereth it to the Lord,


\par }{\PP \VS{13}he shall set his hand on the head thereof, and he shall offer it in the entry of the tabernacle of witnessing; and the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof by compass of the altar.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}And they shall take thereof, into the feeding,
{\EM{or nourishing}}, of the Lord’s fire, the fatness that covereth the womb, and that covereth all the entrails,


\par }{\PP \VS{15}and the two little reins with the caul that is on those
{\ADD{[or them]}} beside the ileum, and the fatness of the maw, with the entrails that cleave to the little reins.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}And the priest shall burn those
{\ADD{[or them]}} on the altar, into the feeding,
{\EM{or nourishing}}, of the fire, and of sweetest odour; all the fatness shall be the Lord’s,


\par }{\PP \VS{17}by everlasting right in generations, and in all your dwelling places, neither in any manner ye shall eat blood, neither fatness.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,


\par }{\PP \VS{2}Speak thou to the sons of Israel, When a soul,
{\EM{that is, a man}}, hath done sin by ignorance, and hath done anything of all the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded that those
{\ADD{[or they]}} shall not be done,
{\EM{thou shalt follow these ordinances}};


\par }{\PP \VS{3}if a priest that is anointed, hath done sin, making the people to trespass, he shall offer for his sin a calf without wem to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}And he shall bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witnessing, before the Lord, and he shall put his hand on the head thereof, and he shall offer it to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}And he shall take up of the blood of the calf, and shall bring it into the tabernacle of witnessing.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}And when he hath dipped his finger into the blood, he shall sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, against the veil of the saintuary.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}And he shall put of the same blood on the corners of the altar of incense most acceptable to the Lord, which altar is in the tabernacle of witnessing; soothly he shall pour all the tother blood into the foundament of the altar of burnt sacrifice in the entering of the tabernacle.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}And he shall offer for
{\EM{his}} sin the inner fatness of the calf, as well it that covereth the entrails, as all things that be within,


\par }{\PP \VS{9}two little reins, and the caul, which is on them, beside
{\ADD{[the]}} ileum, and the fatness of the maw, with the little reins,


\par }{\PP \VS{10}as it is offered of the calf of the sacrifice of peaceable things; and the priest shall burn those
{\EM{things}} on the altar of burnt sacrifice.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}Soothly the priest shall bear out of the tents, the skin, and all the flesh, with the head, and the feet, and
{\ADD{[the]}} entrails, and the dung,


\par }{\PP \VS{12}and the body
{\EM{that}} is left, into a clean place, where
{\ADD{[the]}} ashes be wont to be poured out; and he shall burn those
{\EM{things}} upon the heap of wood, the which shall be burnt in the place of ashes poured out.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}That if all the company of the sons of Israel knoweth not, and doeth by unknowing that that is against the commandment of the Lord,


\par }{\PP \VS{14}and afterward understandeth his sin, he shall offer a calf for that sin, and he shall bring the calf to the door of the tabernacle.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}And the elder men of the people shall set
{\ADD{[or put]}} hands on the head thereof before the Lord; and when the calf is offered in the sight of the Lord,


\par }{\PP \VS{16}the priest that is anointed shall bear in of his blood into the tabernacle of witnessing;


\par }{\PP \VS{17}and when he hath dipped his finger, he shall sprinkle
{\EM{the blood}} seven times against the veil.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}And he shall put of the same blood in the horns of the altar, which is before the Lord in the tabernacle of witnessing; soothly he shall pour the blood that leaveth beside the foundament of the altar of burnt sacrifice, which is in the door of the tabernacle of witnessing.


\par }{\PP \VS{19}And he shall take all the fatness thereof, and shall burn
{\EM{it}} on the altar;


\par }{\PP \VS{20}and he shall do also of this calf, as he did before
{\EM{of the tother}}; and when the priest shall pray for them, the Lord shall be merciful.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}Forsooth he shall bear out
{\ADD{[of the tents]}} that calf, and he shall burn
{\EM{it}}, as
{\EM{he did}} also the former calf, for it is for the sin of the multitude.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}If a prince sinneth, and doeth by ignorance one thing of many, which is forbidden in the law of the Lord,


\par }{\PP \VS{23}and afterward understandeth his sin, he shall offer to the Lord a sacrifice, a goat buck, without wem;


\par }{\PP \VS{24}and he shall set his hand on the head thereof. And when he hath offered it in the place, where
{\ADD{[the]}} burnt sacrifice is wont to be slain, before the Lord, for it is for sin;


\par }{\PP \VS{25}the priest shall dip his finger in the blood of
{\ADD{[the]}} sacrifice for sin, and he shall touch
{\EM{with his bloody finger}} the corners of the altar of burnt sacrifice, and he shall pour the blood that leaveth at the foundament thereof.


\par }{\PP \VS{26}Soothly the priest shall burn the inner fatness above
{\EM{the altar}}, as it is wont to be done in the sacrifice of peaceable things, and the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and it shall be forgiven to him.


\par }{\PP \VS{27}That if a soul,
{\EM{that is, a singular man}}, of the people of the land sinneth by ignorance, that he do anything of these
{\ADD{[things]}} that be forbidden in the law of the Lord, and trespasseth,


\par }{\PP \VS{28}and knoweth his sin, he shall offer a she-goat without wem;


\par }{\PP \VS{29}and he shall set his hand upon the head of the sacrifice which is for
{\ADD{[the]}} sin, and he shall offer it in the place of
{\ADD{[the]}} burnt sacrifice.


\par }{\PP \VS{30}And the priest shall take of the blood
{\EM{thereof}} upon his finger, and he shall touch the horns of the altar of burnt sacrifice, and he shall pour the blood that is left at the foundament of the
{\EM{altar}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{31}Soothly he shall take away all the inner fatness, as it is wont to be done away of the sacrifices of peaceable things, and he shall burn
{\EM{it}} on the altar, into odour of sweetness to the Lord; and the priest shall pray for him, and it shall be forgiven to him.


\par }{\PP \VS{32}Soothly if he offereth of little beasts a sacrifice for sin, that is, a sheep without wem,


\par }{\PP \VS{33}he shall put his hand on the head thereof, and he shall offer it in the place where the beasts of burnt sacrifices be wont to be slain.


\par }{\PP \VS{34}And the priest shall take of the blood thereof in his finger, and he shall touch
{\EM{therewith}} the horns of the altar of burnt sacrifice, and he shall pour the blood that is left at the foundament of the
{\EM{altar}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{35}And he shall do away all the inner fatness, as the inner fatness of the ram, that is offered for peaceable things, is wont to be done away, and the priest shall burn
{\EM{it}} upon the altar of incense of the Lord; and the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and it shall be forgiven to him.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}If a soul,
{\EM{that is, man}}, sinneth, and heareth the voice of an oath, and is witness,
{\EM{that is, required to bear witnessing of a thing that he knoweth}}, for either he saw, either is witting, if he showeth not,
{\EM{but hideth the truth}}, he shall bear his sin.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}A person that toucheth any unclean thing, or which is slain of a beast, either is dead by itself, either
{\EM{toucheth}} any other creeping beast, and forgetteth his uncleanness, he is guilty, and trespasseth.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}And if he toucheth anything of the uncleanness of man, by all the uncleanness by which he is wont to be defouled, and he forgetteth it, and knoweth this afterward, he shall be subject to that trespass.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}A soul that sweareth, and bringeth forth with his lips, that he should do either evil, or well, and doeth
{\EM{it}} not, and confirmeth the same thing with an oath, either with a word, and forgetteth
{\EM{what he swore, or said}}, and afterward understandeth his trespass,


\par }{\PP \VS{5}do he penance for his sin,


\par }{\PP \VS{6}and offer he of the flocks a female lamb, either a goat; and the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}But if he may not offer a beast, offer he two turtles, either two culver birds to the Lord, one for
{\ADD{[the]}} sin, and the tother into burnt sacrifice.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}And he shall give those
{\ADD{[or them]}} to the priest, which shall offer the first for
{\ADD{[the]}} sin, and shall fold again the head thereof to the wings, so that it cleave to the neck, and be not broken utterly.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}And
{\EM{the priest}} shall sprinkle the wall of the altar, of the blood thereof; soothly whatever is residue, he shall make to drop down at the foundament of the altar, for it is for sin.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}Soothly he shall burn the tother
{\EM{bird}} into burnt sacrifice, as it is wont to be done; and the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and it shall be forgiven to him.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}That if his hand
{\EM{for poverty}} may not offer two turtles, either two culver birds, he shall offer for his sin the tenth part of ephah of tried
{\EM{wheat}} flour; he shall not put oil into it, neither he shall put anything of incense, for it is for sin.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}And he shall give it to the priest, which
{\EM{priest}} shall take up an handful thereof, and shall burn it on the altar, into mind of him that offered
{\EM{it}},


\par }{\PP \VS{13}and
{\EM{the priest}} shall pray for him, and cleanse him; forsooth the priest shall have the tother part into gift.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,


\par }{\PP \VS{15}If a soul,
{\EM{that is, a man}}, breaketh
{\ADD{[the]}} ceremonies by error, and sin in these things that be hallowed to the Lord, he shall offer for his trespass a ram without wem of the flocks, that may be bought for two shekels, at the weight of the saintuary.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}And he shall restore that harm that he did, and he shall put the fifth part
{\EM{thereof}} above, and he shall give it to the priest, which
{\EM{priest}} shall pray for him, and offer the ram, and it shall be forgiven to him.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}A soul,
{\EM{that is, a man}}, that sinneth by ignorance, and doeth one of these things that be forbidden in the law of the Lord, and is guilty of
{\ADD{[the]}} sin, and understandeth his wickedness,


\par }{\PP \VS{18}he shall offer to the priest, a ram without wem of the flocks, by the measure and estimation,
{\EM{or value}}, of the sin; and the priest shall pray for him, for he did unwittingly, and it shall be forgiven to him,


\par }{\PP \VS{19}for by error he trespassed against the Lord.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,


\par }{\PP \VS{2}A soul,
{\EM{that is, a man}}, that sinneth, and despiseth the Lord, and denieth to his neighbour a thing betaken to his keeping, that was betaken to his faith, either taketh masterfully a thing by violence, either maketh false challenge,


\par }{\PP \VS{3}either findeth a thing lost, and denieth it furthermore, and forsweareth, and doeth any other thing of many, in which things men be wont to do sin,


\par }{\PP \VS{4}if it is convicted of the guilt, he shall yield whole all things which he would get by fraud,


\par }{\PP \VS{5}and furthermore the fifth part to the lord, to whom he did
{\ADD{[the]}} harm.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}Soothly for his sin he shall offer a ram unwemmed of the flock, and he shall give that
{\EM{ram}} to the priest, by the value and the measure of the trespass;


\par }{\PP \VS{7}and
{\EM{the priest}} shall pray for him before the Lord, and it shall be forgiven to him, for all things which he sinned in doing.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,


\par }{\PP \VS{9}Command thou to Aaron, and to his sons, This is the law of burnt sacrifice; it shall be burnt in the altar all night till the morrow; fire
{\EM{that is given from heaven}} shall be of the same altar.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}The priest shall be clothed with a coat, and with linen breeches; and he shall take away the ashes, which the fire devouring hath burnt out, and he shall put
{\EM{those}} beside the altar;


\par }{\PP \VS{11}and he shall be spoiled of the former clothes, and he shall be clothed with other, and he shall bear those
{\EM{ashes}} out of the tents, and in a most clean place he shall make
{\EM{them}} to be wasted,
{\EM{or quenched}}, till to a dead spark.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}Forsooth
{\ADD{[the]}} fire shall burn ever{\ADD{[more]}} in the altar, which fire the priest shall nourish, putting wood under, in the morrowtide by each day; and when
{\ADD{[the]}} burnt sacrifice is put above,
{\EM{the priest}} shall burn the inner fatness of peaceable things.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}This is everlasting fire, that shall never fail in the altar.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}This is the law of sacrifice, and of the flowing offerings, which the sons of Aaron shall offer before the Lord, and before the altar.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}The priest shall take an handful of tried wheat flour, which is sprinkled with oil, and all the incense which is put on the flour, and he shall burn it on the altar, into mind of sweetest odour of the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}Forsooth Aaron with his sons shall eat the tother part of
{\ADD{[the]}} tried wheat flour, without sourdough; and he shall eat
{\EM{this}} in the holy place of the great porch of the tabernacle.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}Soothly therefore it shall not be dighted with sourdough, for a part thereof is offered into incense of the Lord; it shall be holy of holy things, as
{\EM{offering}} for sin and trespass.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}Males only of the kindred of Aaron shall eat it; it is a lawful thing and everlasting in your generations, of the sacrifice of the Lord; each man that toucheth them shall be hallowed.


\par }{\PP \VS{19}And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,


\par }{\PP \VS{20}This is the offering of Aaron, and of his sons, which they owe to offer to the Lord, in the day of his anointing; they shall offer the tenth part of ephah of
{\ADD{[tried]}}{\EM{wheat}} flour, into everlasting sacrifice, the half thereof in the morrowtide, and the half thereof in the eventide;


\par }{\PP \VS{21}which shall be sprinkled with oil in a frying pan, and it shall be fried.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}Soothly the priest which is successor to his father, shall offer it hot, into
{\ADD{[the]}} sweetest odour to the Lord; and all it shall be burnt in the altar.


\par }{\PP \VS{23}For all the sacrifice of priests shall be burnt with fire, neither any man shall eat thereof.


\par }{\PP \VS{24}And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,


\par }{\PP \VS{25}Speak thou to Aaron and to his sons, This is the law of sacrifice for sin; it shall be offered before the Lord, in the place where burnt sacrifice is offered; it is holy of holy things.


\par }{\PP \VS{26}The priest that offereth it, shall eat it in the holy place, in the great porch of the tabernacle.


\par }{\PP \VS{27}Whatever thing shall touch the flesh thereof, shall be hallowed; if a cloth is besprinkled with the blood thereof, it shall be washed in the holy place.


\par }{\PP \VS{28}Soothly the earthen vessel, in which it is sodden, shall be broken; that if the vessel is of brass
{\ADD{[or brazen]}}, it shall be scoured, and washed with water.


\par }{\PP \VS{29}Each male of the priests’ kin shall eat of the flesh thereof; for it is holy of holy things.

\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And this is the law of sacrifice for trespass; it is holy of holy things.

\par }{\PP \VS{7}As a sacrifice is offered for sin, so and for trespass, one law shall be of ever either sacrifice; it shall pertain to the priest, that offereth it.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}The priest that offereth the beast of burnt sacrifice shall have the skin thereof.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}And each sacrifice of
{\ADD{[tried]}}{\EM{wheat}} flour, that is baked in an oven, and whatever is made ready in a griddle, either in a frying pan, it shall be that priest’s, of whom it is offered,

\par }{\PP \VS{11}This is the law of the sacrifice of peaceable things, which is offered to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}If the offering is for the doing of thankings, they shall offer loaves without sourdough sprinkled with oil, and thin therf cakes,

{\ADD{[or mingling]}} of oil.

{\EM{they shall offer}} loaves dighted with sourdough, with the sacrifice of thankings which is offered for peace-able things;

\par }{\PP \VS{15}whose flesh shall be eaten in the same day, neither anything of those shall dwell till the morrowtide.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}If a man offereth a sacrifice by a vow, either by free will, it shall be eaten in like manner in the same day; but also if anything dwelleth into the morrow, it is leaveful to eat

{\ADD{[the]}} uncleanness of man, either of beast, either of all thing that may defoul, and eateth of such fleshes, shall perish from his peoples.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,

\par }{\PP \VS{27}each man that eateth blood shall perish from his peoples.


\par }{\PP \VS{28}And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,


\par }{\PP \VS{29}Speak thou to the sons of Israel, He that offereth a sacrifice of peaceable things to the Lord, offer he together also a sacrifice, that is, the flowing offerings thereof.


\par }{\PP \VS{30}He shall hold in his hands the inner fatness of the sacrifice, and the breast; and when he hath hallowed both
{\EM{these}} offered to the Lord, he shall take them to the priest,


\par }{\PP \VS{31}the which shall burn the inner fatness upon the altar; soothly the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’;


\par }{\PP \VS{32}and the right shoulder of the sacrifices of peaceable things shall turn into the first fruits of the priest.


\par }{\PP \VS{33}He that of Aaron’s sons offereth the blood, and the inner fatness, shall have also the right shoulder in his portion.


\par }{\PP \VS{34}For I have taken from the sons of Israel the breast of raising, and the shoulder of separating, of their peace-able sacrifices, and I have given
{\EM{those}} to Aaron the priest and to his sons, by everlasting law, of all the people of Israel.


\par }{\PP \VS{35}This is the anointing of Aaron, and of his sons,
{\EM{that is, the offering in the day of their anointing}}, in the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day wherein Moses offered them, that they should be set in priesthood,


\par }{\PP \VS{36}and which things the Lord commanded to be given to them of the sons of Israel, by everlasting
{\ADD{[or perpetual]}} religion in their generations.


\par }{\PP \VS{37}This is the law of burnt sacrifice, and of sacrifice for sin, and for trespass, and for hallowing, and for the sacrifices of peaceable things;


\par }{\PP \VS{38}which law the Lord ordained to Moses in the hill of Sinai, when he commanded to the sons of Israel that they should offer their offerings to the Lord, in the desert of Sinai.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,


\par }{\PP \VS{2}Take thou Aaron with his sons, their clothes, and the oil of anointing, a calf for sin, and two rams, a basket with therf loaves;


\par }{\PP \VS{3}and thou shalt gather together all the company to the door of the tabernacle.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}Moses did as the Lord commanded; and when all the company was gathered before the gates of the tabernacle,


\par }{\PP \VS{5}Moses said, This is the word which the Lord commanded to be done.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}And at once
{\EM{Moses}} offered,
{\EM{or presented to priest’s office}}, Aaron and his sons; and when he had washed them,


\par }{\PP \VS{7}he clothed the bishop with a linen shirt, and girded him with a girdle, and clothed
{\ADD{[him]}} with a coat of jacinth, and putted the cloth on the shoulders
{\ADD{[or cape]}} above, which
{\EM{cloth on the shoulders}} he bound with a girdle,


\par }{\PP \VS{8}and joined thereto the rational, wherein doctrine and truth was.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}And
{\EM{Moses}} covered
{\EM{Aaron’s}} head with a mitre, and upon the mitre, about the front, he put the golden plate,
{\EM{made}} sacred in the hallowing, as the Lord commanded to him.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}And he took also the oil of anointing, with which he anointed the tabernacle with all his appurtenance; and when he had hallowed,


\par }{\PP \VS{11}and had sprinkled the altar seven times, he anointed it, and hallowed with oil all the vessels thereof, and the great washing vessel with his foundament.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}Which
{\EM{oil}} he shedded
{\ADD{[or pouring]}} upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him, and hallowed.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}And his sons offered,
{\EM{or presented}}, Moses clothed with linen coats, and he girded them with girdles, and he set
{\ADD{[or put]}} on
{\EM{their heads}} mitres, as the Lord commanded.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}He offered also a calf for sin; and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands on the head of that calf,


\par }{\PP \VS{15}he offered it, and drew up
{\ADD{[the]}} blood;
{\ADD{[and]}} when the finger was dipped in the blood
{\EM{thereof}}, he touched the corners of the altar by compass; when the altar was cleansed and hallowed, Moses poured the blood that was left at the altar’s foot.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}Soothly he burnt on the altar the inner fatness that was on the entrails, and the caul of the maw, and the two little reins with their little fatnesses;


\par }{\PP \VS{17}and he burnt without the tents the calf, with the skin, the flesh, and the dung, as the Lord commanded.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}And he offered a ram into burnt sacrifice; and when Aaron and his sons had set
{\ADD{[or put]}} their hands upon the head thereof,


\par }{\PP \VS{19}he offered it, and he poured the blood thereof by compass of the altar.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}And he cutted that ram into gobbets, and he burnt with fire the head thereof, and the members, and the inner fatness,


\par }{\PP \VS{21}when the entrails and the feet were washed before; and he burnt all the ram together upon the altar, for it was the burnt sacrifice of sweetest odour to the Lord, as the Lord commanded to him.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}He offered also the second ram, into the hallowing of priests; and Aaron and his sons putted
{\ADD{[or put]}} their hands upon the head thereof.


\par }{\PP \VS{23}And when Moses had offered that ram, he took of the blood, and touched
{\EM{therewith}} the last part of the right ear of Aaron, and the thumb of his right hand, and in like manner of his foot.


\par }{\PP \VS{24}He offered also the sons of Aaron. And when he had touched of the blood of the ram offered the last part of the right ears of all, and the thumbs of the right hand and foot, he poured the blood that was left upon the altar by compass.


\par }{\PP \VS{25}Soothly he separated the inner fatness, and the tail, and all the fatness that covereth the entrails, and the caul of the maw, and the two reins with their fatnesses, and with the right shoulder.


\par }{\PP \VS{26}Forsooth he took of the pannier of therf loaves, that was before the Lord, loaves without sourdough, and a cake sprinkled with oil, and he putted
{\ADD{[or put]}} loaves first sodden in water, and afterward fried in oil, on the inner fatness, and the right shoulder;


\par }{\PP \VS{27}and he betook all these things together to Aaron, and to his sons. And after that they
{\ADD{[had]}} raised those
{\ADD{[or them]}} before the Lord,


\par }{\PP \VS{28}again he took them of their hands, and burnt them upon the altar of burnt sacrifice, for it was the offering of hallowing, into the odour of sweetness of sacrifice, into his part to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{29}He took also the breast of the ram of consecration into his part, and raised it before the Lord, as the Lord commanded to him.


\par }{\PP \VS{30}And he took the ointment, and the blood that was in the altar, and he sprinkled
{\EM{them}} upon Aaron, and on his clothes, and upon his sons, and on their clothes. And when
{\EM{Moses}} had hallowed them in their clothing,


\par }{\PP \VS{31}he commanded to them, and said, Seethe ye the flesh before the tabernacle gates, and there eat ye it; also eat ye the loaves of hallowing, that be put in the basket, as God commanded to me, and said, Aaron and his sons shall eat those loaves;


\par }{\PP \VS{32}soothly whatever thing is left of the flesh and of the loaves,
{\ADD{[the]}} fire shall waste it.


\par }{\PP \VS{33}Also ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle in seven days, till to the day in which the time of your hallowing shall be fulfilled; for the hallowing is ended in seven days,


\par }{\PP \VS{34}as it is done now in this present time, that the rightfulness of the sacrifice were fulfilled.


\par }{\PP \VS{35}Ye shall dwell day and night in the tabernacle, and ye shall keep the keepings of the Lord, that ye die not; for so it is commanded to me.


\par }{\PP \VS{36}And Aaron and his sons did all things, which the Lord spake by the hand of Moses.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 9}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Forsooth when the eighth day was made, Moses called Aaron, and his sons, and the greater men in birth of Israel;


\par }{\PP \VS{2}and he said to Aaron, Take thou of the drove a calf for sin, and a ram for burnt sacrifice, ever either without wem, and offer thou them before the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}And thou shalt speak to the sons of Israel, Take ye a buck of goats for sin, and a calf, and a lamb, of one year, and without wem, into burnt sacrifice,


\par }{\PP \VS{4}an ox and a ram for peaceable things; and offer ye them before the Lord, and offer ye
{\ADD{[tried]}}{\EM{wheat}} flour sprinkled with oil in the sacrifice of each
{\EM{of them}}; for today the Lord shall appear to you.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}Therefore they took all things, which Moses commanded, to the door of the tabernacle, where, when all the multitude stood,


\par }{\PP \VS{6}Moses said, This is the word which the Lord commanded, do ye
{\EM{it}}, and his glory shall appear to you.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}And Moses said to Aaron, Nigh thou to the altar, and offer thou for thy sin; offer thou burnt sacrifice, and pray for thee, and for the people; and when thou hast slain the sacrifice of the people, pray thou for them, as the Lord commanded.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}And anon Aaron nighed to the altar, and offered a calf for his sin;


\par }{\PP \VS{9}whose blood his sons offered,
{\EM{or brought}}, to him, in which blood Aaron dipped his finger, and he touched the horns of the altar, and he poured the blood that was left at the foundament
{\EM{of the altar}};


\par }{\PP \VS{10}and he burnt upon the altar the inner fatness, and the little reins, and the caul of the maw, as the Lord commanded to Moses.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}Forsooth Aaron burnt with fire without the tents the flesh and the skin thereof.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}And he offered the beast of burnt sacrifice, and his sons brought to him the blood thereof, which he shedded
{\ADD{[or poured]}} by compass of the altar;


\par }{\PP \VS{13}they offered also that sacrifice cut into gobbets, with the head, and all the members; and he burnt by fire all these things upon the altar,


\par }{\PP \VS{14}when the entrails and the feet were washed before with water.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}And he offered and killed a buck of goats, for the sin of the people; and when the altar was cleansed, he made burnt sacrifice,


\par }{\PP \VS{16}and he added into the sacrifice flowing offerings, that be offered together;


\par }{\PP \VS{17}and he burnt those
{\ADD{[or them]}} on the altar, without the ceremonies of
{\ADD{[the]}} burnt sacrifice of the morrowtide.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}He offered also an ox, and a ram,
{\ADD{[the]}} peaceable sacrifices of the people; and his sons offered to him the blood, the which he poured by compass of the altar.


\par }{\PP \VS{19}Forsooth they putted
{\ADD{[or put]}} on the breasts the inner fatness of the ox, and the tail of the ram, and the little reins with their fatnesses, and the caul of the maw.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}And when the inner fatnesses were burnt upon the altar,


\par }{\PP \VS{21}Aaron separated the breasts, and the right shoulders of them, and raised them before the Lord, as Moses commanded.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}And he stretched forth
{\EM{his}} hands to the people, and blessed it; and so when the sacrifices for sin, and
{\ADD{[the]}} burnt sacrifices, and
{\ADD{[the]}} peaceable sacrifices, were fulfilled, Aaron came down
{\EM{from the place of sacrificing}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{23}Soothly Moses and Aaron entered into the tabernacle of witnessing, and went out afterward, and blessed the people;


\par }{\PP \VS{24}and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the multitude. And lo! fire went out from the Lord, and devoured the burnt sacrifice, and the inner fatnesses that were upon the altar; and when the companies had seen this thing, they praised the Lord, and felled on their faces.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And when Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, had taken censers, and putted
{\ADD{[or put]}} fire, and incense
{\ADD{[there]}} above, and offered before the Lord alien fire, which thing was not commanded to them.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}And fire went out from the Lord, and devoured them, and they were dead before the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}And Moses said to Aaron, This thing it is that the Lord spake, I shall be hallowed in them that nigh to me, and I shall be glorified in the sight of all the people; which thing Aaron heard, and was still.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}Soothly when Moses had called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, the brother of Aaron’s father, he said to them, Go ye, and take away your brethren from the sight of
{\ADD{[the]}} saintuary, and bear ye them out of the tents.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}And anon they went, and took them, as they lay clothed with linen coats, and casted them out, as it was commanded to them.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}And Moses spake to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron, Do not ye make naked your heads, and do not ye rend your clothes, lest peradventure ye die, and indignation
{\EM{of God}} rise upon all the company; your brethren and all the house of Israel bewail the burning which the Lord hath raised up.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}But ye shall not go out of the gates of the tabernacle, else ye shall perish; for the oil of holy anointing is on you. The which did all things by the behest of Moses.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}Also the Lord said to Aaron,


\par }{\PP \VS{9}Thou and thy sons shall not drink wine, and all thing that may make drunken, when ye shall enter into the tabernacle of witnessing, lest ye die; for it is everlasting behest into your generations,


\par }{\PP \VS{10}{\ADD{[and]}} that ye have knowing to make doom betwixt holy thing and unholy, betwixt polluted thing and clean;


\par }{\PP \VS{11}and that ye teach the sons of Israel all my lawful things, which the Lord spake to them by the hand of Moses.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}And Moses spake to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take ye the sacrifice that
{\ADD{[was]}} left of the offering of the Lord, and eat ye it without sourdough, beside the altar, for it is holy of holy things.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}Soothly ye shall eat in the holy place that that is given to thee, and to thy sons, of the offerings of the Lord, as it is commanded to me.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}Also thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee, shall eat in the cleanest place the breast which is offered, and the shoulder which is separated; for those be kept to thee, and to thy free sons, of the healthful sacrifices of the sons of Israel;


\par }{\PP \VS{15}for they raised before the Lord the shoulder and the breast, and the inner fatnesses that be burnt in the altar; and pertain they to thee, and to thy sons, by everlasting law, as the Lord commanded.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}Among these things when Moses sought the goat buck that was offered for sin, he found
{\EM{it}} burnt, and he was wroth against Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons, that were left
{\EM{alive}}. And he said,


\par }{\PP \VS{17}Why ate not ye the sacrifice for sin in the holy place, the which sacrifice is holy of holy things, and it is given to you, that ye bear the wickedness of the multitude, and pray for it in the sight of the Lord;


\par }{\PP \VS{18}mostly since of the blood thereof is not borne in within
{\ADD{[the]}} holy things, and ye ought to eat it in the saintuary, as it is commanded to me?


\par }{\PP \VS{19}And Aaron answered, Sacrifice for sin, and burnt sacrifice is offered today before the Lord; soothly this thing that thou seest, befelled to me; how might I eat it, either please God in ceremonies, with sorrowful soul?


\par }{\PP \VS{20}And when Moses had heard this, he received satisfaction,

\par }{\PP \VS{24}Flesh, and skin, which the fire hath burnt, and is healed, and hath a white, either red, sign of wound, the priest shall behold it,

{\ADD{[or the plague]}} of leprosy is bred

\par }{\PP \VS{26}That if the colour of

{\EM{him}}; if the leprosy waxeth in the flesh, the priest shall defoul the man;


\par }{\PP \VS{28}else if the whiteness standeth in his place, and is not clear enough, it is a wound,

\par }{\PP \VS{30}the priest shall see them; and if the place is lower than the tother flesh, and the hair is white, and is subtler,
{\EM{either smaller}}, than it is wont, the priest shall defoul them, for it is leprosy of the head, and of the beard.


\par }{\PP \VS{31}Else if he seeth the place of the wem,
{\EM{or the sore}}, even with the nigh flesh, and the hair black, the priest shall enclose them seven days,

\par }{\PP \VS{33}the man shall be shaven, without the place of the wem, and he shall be enclosed again by seven other days.


\par }{\PP \VS{34}If in the seventh day the wound,
{\EM{or soreness}}, is seen to have stand in his place, neither is lower than the tother flesh, the priest shall cleanse the man; and when his clothes be washed, he shall be clean.


\par }{\PP \VS{35}Else if after the cleansing, a spot waxeth again in the skin,


\par }{\PP \VS{36}the priest shall no more inquire, whether the hair is changed into white colour, for apertly he is unclean.


\par }{\PP \VS{37}Soothly if the spot standeth still, and the hairs be black, know then the priest that the man is healed, and trustily pronounce he the man clean.


\par }{\PP \VS{38}A man or a woman, in whose skin whiteness appeareth,


\par }{\PP \VS{39}the priest shall behold them; if he perceiveth, that whiteness some-deal dark shineth in the skin, know he, that it is no leprosy, but a spot of white colour, and that the man is clean.


\par }{\PP \VS{40}A man of whose head the hairs float away, he is bald, and clean;

{\EM{or is sprung up}},


\par }{\PP \VS{43}and the priest seeth this, he shall condemn the man, without doubt of leprosy, which is bred in the baldness.


\par }{\PP \VS{44}Therefore whoever is defouled with leprosy, and is separated
{\EM{from other men}}, at the doom of the priest,

\par }{\PP \VS{53}And if the priest seeth that
{\EM{the spot}} hath waxen not,

{\EM{it}} in fire, for the leprosy is shed
{\ADD{[or spread]}} in the over-part of that cloth, either through{\ADD{[out]}}{\EM{it}} all.


\par }{\PP \VS{56}Else if the place of
{\ADD{[the]}} leprosy is darker, after that the cloth is washed, he shall break away that dark place, and he shall part it from the whole.


\par }{\PP \VS{57}That if fleeing leprosy and unstead-fast appeareth furthermore in these places, that were unwemmed before, it oweth to be burnt in fire;


\par }{\PP \VS{58}if it ceaseth, he shall wash the second time those things that be clean, and they shall be clean.


\par }{\PP \VS{59}This is the law of leprosy of a cloth, woollen and linen, of warp and woof, and of all purtenance of skin, how it oweth to be cleansed, either to be defouled.

\par }{\PP \VS{7}the first day shall be most solemn and holy to you; ye shall not do any servile work therein,


\par }{\PP \VS{8}but ye shall offer sacrifice in fire to the Lord seven days; soothly the seventh day shall be more solemn and holier, and ye shall not do any servile work therein.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}And the Lord spake to Moses and said,


\par }{\PP \VS{10}Speak thou to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, When ye have entered into the land which I shall give to you, and have reaped
{\ADD{[the]}} corn, ye shall bear handfuls of ears of corn, the first fruits of your ripe corn, to the priest;


\par }{\PP \VS{11}and the priest shall raise up a bundle before the Lord, that it be acceptable for you, in the tother day of the sabbath,
{\EM{that is, of pask}}; and the priest shall hallow that bundle;


\par }{\PP \VS{12}and the same day, wherein the handful is hallowed, a lamb of one year without wem shall be slain into burnt sacrifice of the Lord;


\par }{\PP \VS{13}and
{\ADD{[the]}} flowing offerings shall be offered therewith, two tenth parts of
{\ADD{[tried]}} wheat flour sprinkled altogether with oil, into incense of the Lord, and sweetest odour, and
{\ADD{[the]}} flowing offerings of wine, the fourth part of hin.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}Ye shall not eat a loaf, neither cake, nor pottage of the corn, till to the day in which ye shall offer thereof to your God; it is a behest everlasting in your generations, and
{\ADD{[in]}} all your dwelling places.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}Therefore ye shall number from the tother day of the sabbath, in which ye offered handfuls of the first fruits, seven full weeks,


\par }{\PP \VS{16}till to the tother day of filling of the seventh week, that is, fifty days; and so ye shall offer
{\ADD{[a]}} new sacrifice to the Lord,


\par }{\PP \VS{17}of all your dwelling places, two loaves of the first fruits, of two tenth parts of
{\ADD{[tried]}} flour, dighted with sour-dough, which loaves ye shall bake into the first fruits to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}And ye shall offer with the loaves seven lambs of one year without wem, and one calf of the drove, and two rams; and these shall be in burnt sacrifice, with their flowing offerings, into the sweetest odour to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{19}Ye shall make also a goat buck for sin, and two lambs of one year,
{\ADD{[the]}} sacrifices of peaceable things.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}And when the priest hath raised those
{\ADD{[or them]}}, with the loaves of the first fruits, before the Lord, those
{\ADD{[or they]}} shall fall into the priest’s use.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}And ye shall call this day most solemn, and most holy; ye shall not do therein any servile work; it shall be a lawful thing everlasting in all your dwellings, and generations.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}Forsooth after that ye have reaped the corn of your land, ye shall not cut it till to the ground, neither ye shall gather the ears of corn that abide, but ye shall leave those
{\ADD{[or them]}} to poor men and pilgrims; I am the Lord your God.


\par }{\PP \VS{23}And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,


\par }{\PP \VS{24}Speak thou to the sons of Israel, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall be
{\ADD{[a]}} sabbath,
{\EM{a}} memorial to you, sounding with trumps, and it shall be called holy;


\par }{\PP \VS{25}ye shall not do any servile work therein, and ye shall offer burnt sacrifice to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{26}And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,


\par }{\PP \VS{27}In the tenth day of this seventh month, the day of cleansings
{\ADD{[or purging]}} shall be most solemn, and it shall be called holy; and ye shall torment your souls to God, and ye shall offer burnt sacrifice to the Lord;


\par }{\PP \VS{28}ye shall not do any work in the time of this day, for it is the day of cleansing, that your Lord God be merciful to you.


\par }{\PP \VS{29}Each man which is not tormented in this day, shall perish from his peoples,


\par }{\PP \VS{30}and I shall do away from his people that man that doeth anything of work
{\EM{in that day}};


\par }{\PP \VS{31}therefore ye shall not do anything of work in that day; it shall be a lawful thing everlasting to you in all your generations and dwellings;


\par }{\PP \VS{32}it is the sabbath of resting. Ye shall
{\EM{therein}} torment your souls from the ninth day of the month; from the eventide till to eventide ye shall hallow your sabbaths.


\par }{\PP \VS{33}And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,


\par }{\PP \VS{34}Speak thou to the sons of Israel, From the fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the fairs of tabernacles\FTNT{*}{{\FR CHAPTER 23:34 }{\FT{Also known as the Feast, or the Festival, of Tabernacles, Booths, Shelters, or Ingathering.}}}, in seven days to the Lord;


\par }{\PP \VS{35}the first day shall be called most solemn and most holy, ye shall not do any servile work therein;


\par }{\PP \VS{36}and seven days ye shall offer burnt sacrifices to the Lord, and the eighth day shall be most solemn and most holy; and ye shall offer burnt sacrifice to the Lord, for it is the
{\EM{day}} of company, and of gathering; ye shall not do any servile work therein.


\par }{\PP \VS{37}These be the fairs of the Lord, which ye shall call most solemn and most holy; and in them ye shall offer offerings to the Lord, burnt sacrifices, and flowing offerings, by the custom of each day,


\par }{\PP \VS{38}besides the sabbaths of the Lord, and your gifts, and that that ye offer by avows, either that that ye give by free will to the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{39}Therefore from the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered all the fruits of your land, ye shall hallow the fairs of the Lord seven days; in the first day and the eighth day shall be sabbath,
{\EM{that is, rest}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{40}And ye shall take to you in the first day fruits of the fairest tree, and
{\ADD{[the]}} branches of palm trees, and the branches of a thick-boughed tree, and sallows of the running stream, and ye shall be glad before your Lord God;


\par }{\PP \VS{41}and ye shall hallow his solemnity seven days in the year; it shall be a lawful thing everlasting in your generations. In the seventh month ye shall hallow the feast days,


\par }{\PP \VS{42}and ye shall dwell in shadowing places seven days; each man that is of the kin of Israel, shall dwell in tabernacles,


\par }{\PP \VS{43}that your after-comers learn, that I made the sons of Israel to dwell in tabernacles, when I led them out of the land of Egypt; I am your Lord God.


\par }{\PP \VS{44}And Moses spake of the solemnities of the Lord to the sons of Israel.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 24}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,

{\ADD{[the]}} bond of peace; and Aaron shall array those lanterns from eventide till to eventide before the Lord, by religion and custom everlasting in your generations;


\par }{\PP \VS{4}those lanterns shall be set ever-{\ADD{[more]}} upon a cleanest candlestick in the sight of the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}Also thou shalt take
{\ADD{[tried]}} wheat flour, and thou shalt bake thereof twelve loaves, which shall have each by themselves two tenth parts,


\par }{\PP \VS{6}of which thou shalt set six on ever either side, on a full clean board before the Lord;


\par }{\PP \VS{7}and thou shalt set

\par }{\PP \VS{10}Lo! forsooth the son of a woman of Israel, whom she childed of an Egyptian, went out among the sons of Israel, and he chided in the tents with a man of Israel,


\par }{\PP \VS{11}and when he had blasphemed the name of the Lord, and had cursed the Lord, he was brought to Moses; soothly his mother was called Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the lineage of Dan;


\par }{\PP \VS{12}and they sent him into prison, till they knew what the Lord commanded.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,

\par }{\PP \VS{23}And Moses spake to the sons of Israel, and they brought forth out of the tents him that blasphemed, and oppressed him with stones. And the sons of Israel did, as the Lord commanded to Moses.

\par }{\PP \VS{5}thou shalt not reap those things which the earth bringeth forth freely, and thou shalt not gather the grapes of thy first fruits, as vintage; for it is the year of resting of the land;


\par }{\PP \VS{6}but those
{\EM{fruits}} shall be to you into meat, to thee, and to thy servant, and to thine handmaid, and to thine hired man, and to the comeling that is a pilgrim with thee;

\par }{\PP \VS{11}Soothly if any man avoweth an unclean beast, that may not be offered to the Lord, it shall be brought before the priest,


\par }{\PP \VS{12}and the priest shall deem whether it is good either evil, and he shall set the price;


\par }{\PP \VS{13}which price, if he that offereth will not give, he shall add the fifth part over the value.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}If a man avoweth his house, and halloweth it to the Lord, the priest shall behold, whether it is good either evil, and by the price which is ordained of him, it shall be sold;


\par }{\PP \VS{15}soothly if he that avowed will again-buy it, he shall give the fifth part of the value above, and he shall have the house.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}That if a man avoweth the field of his possession, and halloweth it to the Lord, the price shall be deemed by the measure of
{\ADD{[the]}} seed; if the field is sown with thirty bushels of barley, it shall be sold for fifty shekels of silver.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}If he avoweth the field anon from the year of
{\ADD{[the]}} beginning of the jubilee, as much as it may be worth, by so much it shall be appraised;


\par }{\PP \VS{18}but if
{\EM{it be}} after some part of time, the priest shall reckon,
{\EM{either determine}}, the money by the number of the years that be left till to the jubilee, and it shall be withdrawn of the price.


\par }{\PP \VS{19}That if he that avowed will again-buy the field, he shall add the fifth part of the money
{\EM{that is}} appraised, and he shall wield it;


\par }{\PP \VS{20}but if he will not again-buy it, but it is sold to any other man, he that avowed it shall never be able to again-buy it;


\par }{\PP \VS{21}for when the day of jubilee cometh, that field shall be hallowed to the Lord, and the possession hallowed pertaineth to the right of priests.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}If the field is bought, and is not of the possession of greater men,
{\EM{that is, of ancestors}}, and it is hallowed to the Lord,


\par }{\PP \VS{23}the priest shall determine the price by the number of years till to the jubilee, and he that avowed the field shall give
{\EM{the price thereof}} to the Lord;


\par }{\PP \VS{24}forsooth in the jubilee it shall turn again to the former lord that sold it, and he shall have it into the heritage of his possession.


\par }{\PP \VS{25}All the appraising,
{\EM{or value}}, shall be weighed by the shekel of the saintuary; a shekel hath twenty half-pence.


\par }{\PP \VS{26}No man may hallow and avow the first engendered things that pertain to the Lord, whether it is ox, or sheep, they be the Lord’s
{\EM{part}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{27}That if the beast is unclean
{\EM{that is avowed}}, he that offered it shall again-buy it after the value
{\EM{that it is appraised}}, and he shall add to the fifth part of the price; if he will not again-buy it, it shall be sold to another man, for as much as it is
{\EM{appraised}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{28}All thing that is hallowed to the Lord, whether it is man, or beast, whether field of his heritage, it shall not be sold, neither it shall be able to be again-bought; whatever thing is hallowed once, it shall be holy of holy things to the Lord,


\par }{\PP \VS{29}and each hallowing which is offered of man, shall not be again-bought, but it shall die by death.


\par }{\PP \VS{30}All the tithes of
{\ADD{[the]}} earth, whether of fruits
{\EM{of corn}}, whether of apples of trees, be the Lord’s
{\EM{part}}, and be hallowed to him;


\par }{\PP \VS{31}soothly if any man will again-buy his tithes, he shall add to the fifth part of those
{\ADD{[or them]}};


\par }{\PP \VS{32}of all the tithes of sheep, and of oxen, and of goats, that pass under the shepherd’s rod, whatever thing cometh to the tenth
{\EM{part}}, it shall be hallowed to the Lord;


\par }{\PP \VS{33}it shall not be chosen, neither good, neither evil; neither it shall be changed for another; if any man changeth it, both that, that is changed, and that, for which it is changed, shall be hallowed to the Lord, and it shall not be again-bought.


\par }{\PP \VS{34}These be the commandments which the Lord commanded to Moses, and to the sons of Israel, in the hill
{\ADD{[or mount]}} of Sinai.
