[verse 1] THESE ben the names of the [Om.

[verse 5] Therfor alle the soules [sones S.] of hem that ȝeden out of `the hipe of Ja|cob [Jacobs hipe IS.] weren seuenti and fyue. [verse 6] Forsothe Joseph was in Egipt; and whanne he was deed, and alle hise brithren, and al his [verse 7] kynrede, the sones of Israel encreessiden,

and weren multiplied as buriounnyng, and thei weren maad strong greetli, and filliden [fulfilliden IS.] the lond. [verse 8] A newe kyng, that knewe not Joseph, roos in the meene tyme on Egipt, [verse 9] and seide to his puple, Lo! the puple of the sones of Israel is myche, and strongere [verse 10] than we; come ȝe, wiseli oppresse we [ȝe G.] it, lest perauenture it be multiplied; and lest, if batel risith [rise EP.] aȝens vs [Om.

[verse 11] And so he [the kyng IS.] made maistris of werkis souereyns to hem [the children of Israel IS.] , that thei schulden turmente hem with chargis. And thei maden citees of [of the IS.] tabernaclis [tabernaclis, ether tresours, as it is in Ebrew BCG. t. ether of t. as it is in Eb. QX. t. ether of t. N.] to [of S.] Farao, Fiton, and Ramesses. [verse 12] And bi hou myche thei oppressiden hem, bi so myche thei weren multiplied, and encreessiden more [the more B.] . [verse 13] And Egipcians [the Egipcians I.] hat|iden the sones of Israel, and turmentiden [turmentiden hem IS.] , [verse 14] and scorneden hem; and brouȝten [thei brouȝten IS.] her lijf to bitternesse bi hard werkis of cley and of tijl stoon, and bi al [a D.] seruage, bi which thei weren oppressid in the werkis of erthe. [verse 15] Forsothe the kyng of Egipt seide to the mydwyues of Ebrews, of whiche oon was [verse 16] clepid Sefora, the tother Fua; and he com|maundide to hem, Whanne ȝe schulen do the office of medewyues to [in CEG.] Ebrew wym|men, and the tyme of childberyng schal come, if it is a knaue child, sle ȝe him; if it is a womman, kepe ȝe [ȝe it IS.] . [verse 17] Forsothe [But IS.] the medewyues dredden God, and diden [thei diden IS.] not bi the comaundement [heest IS.] of the kyng of E|gipt, but kepten [thei kepten IS.] knaue [the knaue E.] children. [verse 18] To [the IS.] whiche clepid to hym the kyng seide, What is this thing which [that IS.] ȝe wolden do, that ȝe wolden kepe the children [knaue children S.] ? [verse 19] Whiche [the whiche I.] answeriden, Ebrew wymmen ben not as the [Om.

[verse 20] Ther|for God dide wel to medewyues [the medewyues plures.] ; and the puple encreesside, and was coumfortid

greetli. [verse 21] And for the mydewyues dredden God, he [God IS.] bildide `housis to hem [hem housis IS.] . [verse 22] Therfor Farao comaundide al his puple, and seide, What euer thing of male kynde is borun to Ebrewis [the Ebrewis IS.] , `caste ȝe [casteth it IS.] in to the flood; what euer thing of wymmen kynde, kepe ȝe [ȝe it IS.] .

And whanne sche hadde seyn a leep in the `place of spier [flaggy place IS.] , sche sente oon of hir ser|uauntessis [damesels IS.] , [verse 6] and sche openyde the leep brouȝt to hir, and seiȝ [sche sawȝe IS.] a litil child wep|ynge ther ynne. And sche hadde mercy on the child, and seide, It is of the ȝonge children of Ebrews.

The damysel ȝede, and clepide the `modir of the child [childis modir IS.] . [verse 9] To whom `the douȝtir of Farao [Pharao douȝtir IS.] spak, and seide, Take thou this [the ELP.] child, and [Om.

Whether [wher plures.] thou wolt sle me, as thou kill|idist [slowȝ IS.] ȝisterdai the Egipcian? Moises dredde, and seide, Hou is this word maad opun? [verse 15] And Farao herde this word, and souȝte to sle Moyses, which [the which I.] fledde fro his siȝt [face W.] , and dwellide in the lond of Madian, and sat [he sat IS.] bisidis a pit.

[verse 4] Sotheli the Lord seiȝ that Moises ȝede to se, and he clepide Moises [him I.] fro the [Om. S.] myddis of the buysch, and seide, Moyses! Moises! Which answeride, Y am present. [verse 5] And the Lord seide, Neiȝe thou not hidur, but vnbynde thou the scho [schoon IS.] of thi feet, for the place in which thou stondist is [it is E.] hooli lond. [verse 6] And the Lord seide, Y am God of thi fadir, God of Abra|ham, and [Om. ELP.] God of Isaac, and [Om. E.] God of Ja|cob. Moises hidde his face, for he durste not biholde [loke G.] aȝens God. [verse 7] To whom the Lord seide, Y [and I D.] seiȝ the affliccion of my puple in Egipt, and Y herde the [Om. DGN pr. m.

[verse 9] Therfor the cry of the sones of Israel cam [fro cam I.] to me, and Y seiȝ the turment of hem, bi which [the which I.] thei ben oppressid of Egipcians [the Egipcians IS.] . [verse 10] But come thou, I schal sende thee to Fa|rao, that thou lede out my puple, the sones of Israel, fro Egipt. [verse 11] And Moises seide to hym, Who am Y, that Y go to Farao, and lede out the sones of Israel fro Egipt? [verse 12] And the Lord seide to Moises, Y schal be with thee, and thou schalt haue this signe, that Y haue sent thee, whanne thou hast led out my puple fro Egipt, thou schalt offre to God on this hil. [verse 13] Moises seide to God, Lo!

[verse 14] The Lord seide to Moises, Y am that am [Y am BEI.] . The Lord seide, Thus thou schalt seie to the sones of Israel, He that is sente me to ȝou. [verse 15] And eft God seide to Moises, Thou schalt seie these thingis to the sones of Israel, The Lord God of ȝoure fadris, God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and [Om.

CAP. IV.

[verse 1] Moyses answeride, and seide, The comyns schulen not bileue to me, nether thei schu|len here my vois; but thei schulen seie, The Lord apperide not to thee. [verse 2] Therfor the Lord seide to hym, What is this [that IS.] that thou holdist in thin hond? Moises an|sweride, A ȝerde [ȝerde, that is, a scheperdis staff I.] . [verse 3] And the Lord seide, Caste it forth into erthe [the erthe DGIKNP RSTX.] ; and he castide [castide it EKLP. keste it I. caste it S.] forth, and it was turned in to a serpent, so that Moises fledde. [verse 4] And the Lord seide, Holde forth thin hond, and take the tail therof; he stretchide forth [forth his honde IS.] , and helde [helde it IS.] , and it was turned [turned aȝen IS.] into a ȝerde.

[verse 14] And the Lord was wrooth aȝens Moises, and seide, Y woot, that Aa|ron, thi brother, of the lynage of Leuy, is eloquent [a fair speker IS.] ; lo! he schal go out in to thi comyng, and he schal se thee, and schal [he schal IS.] be glad in herte. [verse 15] Speke thou to hym, and putte thou my wordis in his mouth, and Y schal be in thi mouth, and in the mouth of hym [his mouth IS.] ; and Y schal schewe to ȝou what ȝe owen to do. [verse 16] He schal speke for thee to the [Om. N.] puple, and he schal be thi mouth; forsothe thou schalt be to him in these thingis, that perteynen to God. [verse 17] Also take thou this ȝerde in thin hond, in which thou schalt do myraclis. [verse 18] Moises ȝede, and turnede aȝen to Jetro, his wyues fadir, and seide to hym, Y schal go, and turne [I schal turn IS.] aȝen to my britheren in to Egipt, that Y se, whether thei lyuen ȝit. To whom Jetro

seide, Go thou in pees. [verse 19] Therfor the Lord seide to Moyses in Madian, Go thou, and turne aȝen into Egipt; for alle thei ben deed that souȝten thi lijf. [verse 20] Moises took his wijf, and hise sones, and puttide [putte FM. sette IS.] hem on an asse, and he turnede aȝen in to Egipt, and bar [he bar IS.] the ȝerde of God in his hond.

[verse 29] And thei camen togidere, and gaderiden [thei gaderiden I. thei gad. togedere S.] alle the eldere men of the sones of Israel. [verse 30] And Aaron spak alle the [these W.] wordis, whiche the Lord hadde seid to Moises, and he dide [verse 31] the signes bifore the puple; and the puple bileuede; and thei herden, that the Lord hadde visitid the sones of Israel, and that he hadde biholde the turment of hem; and thei worschipiden lowe [lowe or mekely the Lord IS.] .

CAP. V.

[verse 1] Aftir these thingis Moises and Aaron entriden, and seiden to Farao, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Delyuere thou my puple, that it make sacrifice to me in deseert. [verse 2] And he [Pharao IS.] answeride, Who is the Lord, that Y here his vois, and de|lyuere Israel? I knowe not the Lord, and [Om. ELP.] Y schal not delyuere Israel. [verse 3] Thei seiden, God of Ebrews clepide vs, that we go the weie of thre daies in to wildirnesse, and [Om.

CAP. VI.

[verse 1] And the Lord seide to Moises, Now thou schalt se, what thingis Y schal do to Farao; for bi strong hond he schal dely|uere hem [delyuere hem, that is, the sones of Israel C.] , and in myȝti hond he schal caste hem out of his lond. [verse 2] And the Lord spak [verse 3] to Moises, and seide, Y am the Lord, that

[verse 10] And the Lord [verse 11] spak to Moises, and seide, Entre thou, and speke to Farao, kyng of Egipt, that he delyuere the children of Israel fro his lond [hond A pr. m. EGLPW.] . [verse 12] Moises answeride bifore the Lord, Lo! the children of Israel here not me, and hou schal Farao here, moost sithen Y am vn|circumcidid [vncircumcidid, that is, defautiyf BCKX. vnc. that is vnredy IS.] in [in my IS.] lippis [lippis or spechis I. l. that is, in my sp.

[verse 14] These ben the princis of housis [the housis IS.] bi her meynees. The sones of Ruben, the firste gendrid [bigetun I.] of Israel, E|noch, and Fallu, Esrom, and Charmy; these ben the kynredis of Ruben. [verse 15] The sones of Symeon, Jamuel, and Jamyn, and

the Lord, Lo! Y am vncircumcidid in lippis; hou schal Farao here me?

CAP. VII.

[verse 1] And the Lord seide to Moises, Lo! Y haue maad thee the god of Farao [god of Farao, that is, myȝty ouer [on BGKX] him, to bringe in veniaunces bi Goddis vertu and doom CQ. ven. and doom B. ven. on him bi Goddis v. and d.

[verse 2] Thou schalt speke to Aaron alle thingis whiche Y comaunde to thee, and he schal speke to Farao, that he delyuere the sones of Israel fro his hond [lond BC sup. ras. DIS.] . [verse 3] But Y schal make hard his herte, and Y schal multiplie my signes and merueils in the lond of Egipt, [verse 4] and he schal not here ȝou; and Y schal sende myn hond on Egipt, and Y schal lede out myn oost, and my puple, the sones of Israel, fro the lond of Egipt bi mooste [verse 5] domes; and Egipcians schulen wite, that Y am the [Om.

[verse 6] And so Moises dide and Aaron; as the Lord co|maundide, so thei diden. [verse 7] Forsothe Moyses was of fourescoor ȝeer, and Aaron was [Om.

[verse 8] And the Lord seide to [verse 9] Moises and to Aaron, Whanne Farao schal seie to ȝou, Schewe ȝe signes to vs, thou schalt seie to Aaron, Take thi ȝerde, and caste forth it before Farao, and be it turned into a serpent. [verse 10] And so Moises and Aaron entriden to Farao, and diden as the Lord comaundide; and Aaron took the ȝeerde, and castide [keste IMS.] forth bifore [it bifore ISW.] Farao and hise seruauntis, which [the which I.] ȝerde was turned in to a serpent. [verse 11] Forsothe Farao clepide [clepide forth ELP.] wise men, and witchis [witti L.] , and thei also diden bi enchauntementis of Egipt, and bi summe [verse 12] priuy thingis in lijk [thilke E.] maner; and alle castiden forth her ȝerdis, whiche [the whiche I.] weren turned in to dragouns; but the ȝerde of Aaron deuouride `the ȝerdis of hem [her ȝerdis IS.] . [verse 13] And

the herte of Farao was maad hard, and he [Om. S.] herde not hem, as the Lord comaundide. [verse 14] Forsothe the Lord seide to Moyses, The herte of Farao is maad greuouse, he nyle [wil not I.] [verse 15] delyuere the puple; go thou to hym eerli; lo! he schal go out to the watris, and thou schalt stonde in the comyng of hym on the brynke of the flood; and thou schalt take in thin honde the ȝerde, that was [verse 16] turned into a dragoun, and thou schalt seie to hym, The Lord God of Ebrews sente me to thee, and seide, Delyuere thou my puple, that it make sacrifice to me in desert; til [and til plures.] to present [this present IS.] time thou noldist here. [verse 17] Therfor the Lord seith these thingis, In this [these E.] thou schalt wite, that Y am the [Om. IKS.] Lord; lo! Y schal smyte with the [Om.

[verse 19] Also the Lord seide to Moises, Seie thou to Aaron, Take thi [thou thi G.] ȝerde, and holde forth thin hond on the watris of Egipt, and on the flodis of hem, and on the stremys `of hem [Om. ISX pr. m.] , and on the mareis, and alle [on alle IS.] lakis [the lakis IS.] of watris, that tho be turned in to blood; and blood be in al the lond of Egipt, as wel in ves|sils of tree as of stoon. [verse 20] And Moises and Aaron diden so, as the Lord comaundide; and Aaron reiside the ȝerde, and smoot the watir of the flood [lond I.] bifore Farao and hise seruauntis, which [the which I.] watir was turned [verse 21] in to blood; and fischis, that weren in the flood, dieden; and the flood was rotun, and Egipcians [the Egipcians IS.] myȝten not drynke the [Om.

CAP. VIII.

[verse 1] Also the Lord seide to Moises, Entre thou to Farao, and thou schalt seie to hym, The Lord seith these thingis, Delyuere thou my puple, that it make sacrifice to me; [verse 2] sotheli if thou nylt [wilt not I.] delyuere, lo! Y schal [verse 3] smyte alle thi termys [termys or coostis I.] with paddoks; and the flood schal buyle out paddokis, that schulen stie [go vp I. stie vp S.] , and schulen [Om.

[verse 5] And the Lord seide to Moises, Seie thou to Aaron, Hold forth thin hond on the floodis, and on the [Om.

[verse 6] And Aaron helde forth the hond on the watris of Egipt; and paddoks stieden [wenten vp I. stieden vp S.] , and hileden the lond of Egipt. [verse 7] Forsothe and [also I. Om.

[verse 8] Forsothe Farao clepide Moises and Aaron, and seide to hem, Preie ȝe the Lord, that he do a wei the paddoks [frogges I.] fro me, and fro my puple; and Y schal delyuere the puple, that it make sacrifice to the Lord. [verse 9] And Moises seide to Farao, Ordeyne thou a tyme to me, whanne Y schal preie for thee, and for thi seruauntis, and for thi puple, that the paddokis [paddis A. frogges I.] be dryuun awei fro thee, and fro thin hows, and fro thi seruauntis,

and fro thi puple; and dwelle oneli in the flood. And he [Pharao IS.] answeride, To morewe. [verse 10] And Moises seide, Y schal do bi thi word, that thou wite, that noon is as oure Lord God; [verse 11] and the paddoks [frogges I.] schulen go awei fro thee, and fro thin hous, and fro thi children, and fro thi seruauntis, and fro thi puple; and tho [thei I.] schulen dwelle oneli in the flood. [verse 12] And Moises and Aaron ȝeden [wenten I.] out fro Fa|rao. And Moises criede to the Lord, for the biheest of paddoks [frogges I.] , which he hadde seid to Farao. [verse 13] And [Om.

[verse 15] Sotheli Farao seiȝ that reste was ȝouun, and he made greuous his herte, and herde [he herde E.] not hem, as the Lord comaundide. [verse 16] And the Lord seide to Moises, Spek thou to Aaron, Holde forth thi [the F.] ȝerde, and smyte the dust of erthe [the erthe IS.] , and litle flies, ether [or passim ELP. Om.

[verse 18] And witchis [the witchis IS.] diden in lijk [a lyk F.] maner bi her enchauntementis, that thei schulden [wolden I.] brynge forth gnattis, and thei miȝten not; and gnattis weren as wel in men as in werk beestis. [verse 19] And the witchis seiden to Farao, This is the fyngur [fyngur, that is, power BCEGKLPQ. f. ether p. N. f. or the p. S.] of God. And the herte of Farao was maad hard, and he herde not hem, as the Lord comaundide. [verse 20] And the Lord seide to Moises, Rise thou eerli, and stonde bifore Farao, for he schal go out to the watris; and thou schalt seie to hym, The Lord seith these thingis, De|lyuere thou my puple, that it make sacri|fice [verse 21] to me; that if thou schalt [wilt I.] not dely|uere the [mi E.] puple, lo!

And a moost [ful I.] greuouse flie [kinde of flies I. flie, that is, multitude of flies BGQX.] cam in to the hows [housis plures.] of Farao, and of [in to the housis of S.] hise seruauntis, and in to al the lond of Egipt; and the lond was corrupt of siche flies. [verse 25] And Farao clepide Moises and Aaron, and seide to hem, Go ȝe, make ȝe sacrifice to `ȝoure Lord God [the L. ȝoure G. IS.] in this lond. [verse 26] And Moises seide, It may not be so, for `we schulen [whi schulen we IS.] offre to oure [the Lord oure IS.] God the abhomyna|ciouns of Egipcians; that if we schulen sle bifore Egipcians [the Egipcians EIS.] tho thingis whiche thei worschipen, thei schulen `ouerleie vs [throwe vs doun I. ouerleie or throwe vs doun S.] with stoonus. [verse 27] We schulen go the weie of thre daies in to wildirnesse, and we schulen make sacrifice to oure Lord God, as he co|maundide vs [to vs S.] . [verse 28] And Farao seide, Y schal delyuere ȝou, that ȝe make sacrifice to `ȝoure Lord God [the L. ȝoure God IS.] in deseert; netheles go ȝe not ferthere; preie ȝe for me. [verse 29] And Moises seide, Y schal go out fro thee, and Y schal preie the Lord; and the fli [flie, that is the multitude of flies IS.] schal go awei fro Farao, and fro hise seruauntis, and puple [his puple K.] to morewe; netheles nyle thou more dis|seyue me, that thou delyuere not the puple to make sacrifice to the Lord. [verse 30] And Moises ȝede out fro Farao, and preiede the Lord, [verse 31] whiche [the whiche I.] dide bi the word of Moyses, and took awei flies [the flies I.] fro Farao, and fro hise seruauntis, and puple [fro his puple IS. his puple K.] ; noon lefte, `sotheli nether oon [noon left sotheli not oon ELP. ther lefte not oon sotheli I. noon lefte there neither oon S.] .

CAP. IX.

[verse 1] Forsothe the Lord seide to Moises, En|tre thou to Farao, and speke thou to hym, The Lord God of Ebrews seith these thingis, Delyuere thou my puple, that it [verse 2] make sacrifice to me; that if thou for|sakist [verse 3] ȝit, and withholdist hem, lo! myn hond schal be on thi feeldis, on horsis [the horsis IS.] , and [on GK.] assis, and camels, and oxun, and [verse 4] scheep, a pestilence ful greuous; and the Lord schal make a merueilous thing bi|twixe the possessiouns of Israel and the possessiouns of Egipcians [the Egipcians I.] , that outirli no thing perische of these [tho B.] thingis that per|teynen to the sones of Israel. [verse 5] And the Lord ordeinede a tyme, and seide, To morewe the Lord schal do this word in the [this IS.] lond. [verse 6] Therfor the Lord made this word in the tother dai, and alle the [Om.

not stonde bifor Moises, for woundis [the woundis or soores IS.] that weren in hem, and in [Om. S.] al the lond of [Om. S.] E|gipt. [verse 12] And the Lord made hard the herte of Farao, and he herde not hem, as the Lord spak to Moises. [verse 13] Also the Lord seide to Moises, Rise thou eerli, and stonde bi|fore Farao, and thou schalt seie to hym, The Lord God of Ebrews seth these thingis, Delyuere thou my puple, that it [verse 14] make sacrifice to me; for in this tyme Y schal sende alle my veniauncis on thin herte, and on thi seruauntis, and on thi puple, that thou wite, that noon is lijk me in al erthe.

[verse 22] And the Lord seide to Moises, Holde forth thin hond in to heuene, that hail be maad in al the lond of Egipt, on men, and on werk beestis, and on ech eerbe of the feeld in the lond of Egipt. [verse 23] And Moises held forth the ȝerde in to heuene; and the Lord ȝaf thundris, and hail, and leitis rennynge aboute on the lond; and the Lord reynede hail on the [verse 24] lond of Egipt; and hail and fier meddlid

[verse 27] And Farao sente, and clepide Moises and Aaron, and seide to hem, Y haue synned also now; the Lord is iust, [verse 28] Y [and Y S.] and my puple ben wickid; preye ȝe the Lord, that the thundris and hail of God ceesse, and Y schal delyuere ȝou, and dwelle ȝe no more here.

CAP. X.

[verse 1] And the Lord seide to Moises, Entre thou to Farao, for Y haue maad hard the

[verse 3] Ther|fore Moises and Aaron entriden to Farao, and seiden to hym, The Lord God of E|brews seith these thingis, How long `nylt thou [wilt thou nat I.] be maad suget to me? Delyuere thou my puple, that it make sacrifice to me; [verse 4] ellis sotheli if thou aȝenstondist, and nylt [wilt not I. nyle S.] delyuere it, lo! Y schal brynge in [Om.

And Moises turnede awei hym silf, and ȝede [went I.] out fro Farao. [verse 7] For|sothe the seruauntis of Farao seiden to hym, Hou longe schulen we suffre this sclaundre? Delyuere [delyuer thou IS.] the men, that thei make sacrifice to `her Lord God [the Lord her God IS.] ; seest thou not that Egipt perischide [hath perischid IS.] ? [verse 8] And thei aȝen clepiden Moises and Aaron to Farao, and he seide to hem, Go ȝe, and make [maketh IS.] ȝe [the O.] sacrifice to `ȝoure Lord God [the L. ȝoure G.

[verse 9] Moises seide, We schulen go with oure litle children and eldre, and with sones, and douȝtris, with scheep, and grete [with grete IS.] beestis; for it is the solempnyte of `oure Lord God [the L. oure G.

[verse 11] It schal `not be so [ben done SO E.] ; but go ȝe men oneli, and make ȝe sacrifice

[verse 12] Forsothe the Lord seide to Moises, Holde forth thi hond on the lond of Egipt, to a [the I.] locust [locust, that is, multitude of locustis BCN.] , that it stie on [vp on IS.] the lond, and deuoure al the eerbe [eerbis E.] which [that IS.] is residue [lefte EILP sec. m. residue or laft S.] to [of I.] the hail. [verse 13] And Moises helde forthe the ȝerde on the lond of Egipt, and the Lord brouȝte in a brennynge wynd al that dai and niȝt; and whanne the morewtid was maad, the brennynge wynd reiside locustis, [verse 14] whiche [the whiche I.] stieden on [vp on IS.] al the lond of Egipt, and saten in alle the coostis of Egipcians; `and the locustis [thei I.] weren vnnoumbrable, and suche weren not bifore that tyme, nether schulen come aftirward.

[verse 16] Wherfor Farao hastide, and clepide Moises and Aaron, and seide to hem, Y haue synned aȝens ȝoure Lord [verse 17] God [Om.

[verse 18] And Moises ȝede out of the siȝt of Farao, and preiede the Lord; [verse 19] which [the which I. which Lord S.] made a moost [ful I.] strong wynd to blowe fro the west, and took [it took I. he t.

[verse 28] And Farao seide to Moises, Go awei fro me, and be war that thou se no more my face; in what|euer dai thou schalt appere to me, thou schalt die. [verse 29] Moyses answeride, Be it doon so, as thou hast spokun; I schal no more se thi face.

CAP. XI.

[verse 1] And the Lord seide to Moises, Ȝit Y schal touche Farao and Egipt with o ve|niaunce, and after these thingis he schal delyuere ȝou, and schal [I schal D. he schal IS.] constreyne ȝou [Om.

And Moises was a ful greet man [man of good fame S.] in the lond of Egipt, bifore the ser|uauntis [verse 4] of Farao and al the puple; and he seide, The Lord seith these thingis, At [verse 5] mydnyȝt Y schal entre in to Egipt; and ech firste gendrid [bigeten I.] thing in the lond of Egipcians schal die, fro the firste gendrid [bigeten I.] of Farao, that sittith in the trone of hym, til to the firste gendrid [bigeten I.] of the handmayde, which is at the [Om.

[verse 7] Forsothe at alle the children of Israel a dogge schal not make priuy noise, fro man til to beeste; that ȝe wite bi how greet myracle the Lord departith Egipcians and Israel. [verse 8] And [and Pharao, IS.] alle these thi seruauntis schulen come doun to me, and thei schulen preye me, and schulen seie, Go out thou, and al the puple which [the which I.] is suget to thee; aftir these thingis we schu|len go out. [verse 9] And Moyses was [Om. I.] ful wrooth, and [Om. I.] ȝede [wente I.] out fro Farao. Forsothe the Lord seide to Moises, Farao schal not here ȝou, that many signes be maad in the lond of Egipt. [verse 10] Sotheli Moises and Aaron maden alle signes [the signes IS.] and wondris, that ben writun [here writun IS.] , bifor Farao; and the Lord made hard the herte of Farao, nether he delyuerede the sones of Israel fro his lond [hond A pr. m.

CAP. XII.

[verse 1] Also the Lord seide to Moises and Aa|ron [verse 2] in the lond of Egipt, This monethe, the [Om. F.] bigynnyng of monethis to ȝou, schal be the firste [firste or the cheef S.] in the [Om.

For in that same dai Y schal lede out of the lond of Egipt ȝoure oost; and ȝe schulen kepe this dai in ȝoure generaciouns bi euerlastynge custom. [verse 18] In the first monethe, in the fouretenthe dai

[verse 25] And whanne ȝe schulen entre in to the lond which [that I.] the Lord schal ȝyue to ȝou, as he bihiȝte, [verse 26] ȝe schulen kepe these cerymonyes; and whanne ȝoure sones schulen seie to ȝou, What is this religioun? ȝe schulen seie to [verse 27] hem, It is the [Om.

And the puple was bowid, and worschipide. [verse 28] And the sones of Israel ȝeden out, and diden as the Lord comaundide to Moises and to [Om. EG.] Aaron. [verse 29] Forsothe it was doon in the myddis of the nyȝt, the Lord

smoot al the firste gendrid [bigeten I.] thing [Om.

[verse 31] And whanne Moises and Aaron weren clepid in the nyȝt, Farao seide, Rise ȝe, go [and go IS.] ȝe out fro my puple, bothe ȝe and the sones of Israel; go ȝe, offre ȝe to the [verse 32] Lord, as ȝe seien; take ȝe ȝoure scheep and greete beestis, as ȝe axiden; and go ȝe, and blesse ȝe me.

[verse 1] Also [Also and D.

[verse 9] And it schal be as a signe in thin hond, and as a memorial before thin iȝen, and that the lawe of the Lord be euere in thi mouth; for in a strong hond the Lord ledde thee out of Egipt, and of the hows of seruage.

[verse 4] And Y schal make hard his herte, and he schal pursue ȝou, and Y schal be glorified in Fa|rao, and in al his oost; and Egipcians [the Egipcians IS.] schulen wite that Y am the [Om.

[verse 5] And it was teld to the kyng of Egipcians, that the puple hadde fled; and the herte of Farao and of hise seruauntis was chaungid on the puple, and thei seiden, What wolden we do, that we leften [schulden leeue I.] Israel, that it schulde not [Om.

[verse 6] Therfor Farao ioynede the chare, and [verse 7] took with him al his puple; and he took sixe hundrid chosyn charis, and what euer thing of charis was in Egipt, and duykis of al the oost. [verse 8] And the Lord made hard `the herte of Farao [Farao herte S.] , kyng of Egipt, and he [Pharao IS.] pursuede the sones of Israel; and thei weren go out in an hiȝ hond. [verse 9] And whanne Egipcians [the Egipcians IS.] pursueden the steppis of the sones of Israel bifor goynge, thei founden hem in tentis on the see; al the chyualrye and charis of Farao, and al the oost weren in Fiayroth, aȝens Beelsefon. [verse 10] And whanne Farao hadde neiȝed [neiȝed niȝ IS.] the sones of Israel, reisiden her iȝen, and thei sien Egipcians [the Egipcians IS.] bihynde hem, and dredden [thei dredden IS.] greetli; and [verse 11] thei crieden [crieden gretli E.] to the Lord, and seiden to Moises, In hap sepulcris weren [there weren I.] not in Egipt, therfor thou hast take vs awei [awei thennes IS.] , that we schulen die in wildirnesse? what [in what E.] woldist thou do this, that thou leddist vs out of Egipt? [verse 12] Whether this is not the word which [that S.] we spaken to thee in Egipt, `and seiden [seyinge K.] , Go awei fro vs, that we serue Egipcians [the Egipcians.] ? for it is myche betere to serue hem, than to die in wildirnesse. [verse 13] And Moises seide to the puple, Nyle ȝe drede, stonde ȝe, and `se ȝe [seeth I. se KLOS.] the grete werkys of God, whiche he schal do to dai; for ȝe schulen no more se Egipcians [the Egipcians IS.] , whiche [the whiche I.] ȝe [verse 14] seen now, til in to with outen ende; the Lord schal fiȝte for ȝou, and ȝe schulen

Speke thou to the sones of Israel, that thei go forth; [verse 16] forsothe reise thou thi ȝerde, and stretche forth thin hond on the see, and departe thou it, that the sones of Israel go in the [Om.

[verse 17] For|sothe Y schal make hard the herte of Egipcians, that thei pursue ȝou, and Y schal be glorified in Farao, and in al the oost of hym [hem plures.] , and in the charis [charis of him IS.] , and in [verse 18] the knyȝtis of hym; and Egipcians schulen wite that Y am the [Om.

[verse 19] And the aungel of the Lord [Lord God E.] , that ȝede bifore the castellis [castellis, that is, tentis I. cast. or tentis S.] of Israel, took [took, or ordeynede IS.] hym silf, and ȝede bihynde hem; and the piler of cloude [the cloude IS.] ȝede [mouyde IS.] to gidir with hym, and lefte [he lefte IS.] the [verse 20] formere thingis aftir the bak, and stood [he stood IS.] bitwixe the `castels of Egipcians [Egipcians castels IS.] and cas|tels [the castels EINS.] of Israel; and the cloude was derk toward Egipcians [the Egipcians IS.] , and liȝtnynge [it was liȝtnynge I. the nyȝt was l.

[verse 22] And the sones of Israel entriden by the myddis of the drye see; for the watir was as a wal at the riȝt side and left [the left EIMNPS.] side of hem. [verse 23] And [The IS.] Egipcians pursueden, and entriden aftir hem [Israel IS.] , al [and alle IS.] the ridyng [ridinge men I.] of Farao, hise cha|ris, and knyȝtis, bi the [Om.

Therfor Egipcians [the Egipcians I.] seiden, Fle we Israel; for [forsothe I.] the Lord fiȝtith for hem aȝenus vs. [verse 26] And the Lord seide to Moises, Holde forth thin hond on the see, that the wa|tris turne aȝen to Egipcians, on the charis, and knyȝtis [on the knyȝtis IS.] of hem. [verse 27] And whanne Moises hadde hold forth the [his IS.] hoond aȝens the see, it turnede aȝen first in the morewtid to the formere place; and whanne Egipcians [the Egipcians EIS.] fledden, the watris camen aȝen [aȝens hem IS.] , and the Lord wlappide hem in the [Om.

[verse 28] And the watris turneden aȝen, and hiliden the charis, and knyȝtis of al the oost of Farao, which [the which I.] sueden, and entriden in to the see; sotheli not oon of hem was alyue [on lyue B. left I. not alyue Q.] . [verse 29] Forsothe the sones of Israel ȝeden thorouȝ the myddis of the drye see, and the watris weren to hem as for a wal, on the riȝt side and left [on the left B.] side. [verse 30] And in that dai the Lord delyuerede Israel fro the hond of Egipcians, and thei sien Egipcians [the Egipcians C.] deed on the brynke of the [verse 31] see, and thei seiȝen the greet hond [hond or power I. hond or myȝt S.] which the Lord hadde vsid aȝens hem [the Egipcians IS.] ; and the puple [puple of Israel IS.] dredde the Lord, and thei bileueden to the Lord, and to Moises his seruaunt.
