[verse 3] And Moises seide to Aaron, This thing it is which [that IS.] the Lord spak, Y schal be halewid in hem that neiȝen to me [me vnwarly S.] , and Y schal be glorified in the [Om.

[verse 4] So|theli whanne Moises hadde clepid Mysael and Elisaphan, the sones of Oziel, brother [the brothir IS.] of Aaron's fadir, he [clepid he B.] seide to hem, Go ȝe, and take [taketh IS.] awey ȝoure britheren fro the [Om.

[verse 7] But ȝe schulen not go out of the ȝatis of the tabernacle, ellis ȝe schulen perische; for the oile of hooli [the hooli C.] anoyntyng is on ȝou. Whiche [the whiche I.] diden alle thingis bi the comaundement [heest IS.] of Moises. [verse 8] Also the [verse 9] Lord seide to Aaron, Thou and thi sones schulen not drynke wyn, and al thing that may make drunkun, whanne ȝe schulen

entre in to the tabernacle of witnessing, lest ȝe dien; for it is euerlastynge co|maundement [heest IS.] in to ȝoure generaciouns, [verse 10] that ȝe haue kunnyng to make doom by|twixe hooli thing and vnhooli, bitwixe [verse 11] pollutid [defoulid IS.] thing and cleene; and that ȝe teche the sones of Israel alle my lawful thingis, whiche the Lord spak to hem bi the hond of Moyses.

S.] is comaundid to me [verse 14] Also thou, and thi sones, and thi douȝtris with thee, schulen ete in the clenneste place the brest which [that IS.] is offrid, and the schuldur which is departid; for tho ben kept to thee and to thi fre sones, of the [verse 15] heelful sacrifices of the sones of Israel; for thei reiseden bifor the Lord the schuldur and brest [the brest IS.] , and the ynnere fatnessis that ben brent in the auter; and perteynen tho [thei N.] to thee, and to thi sones, bi euer|lastynge lawe, as the Lord comaundide. [verse 16] Among these thingis whanne Moises souȝte the `buk of geet [geet bucke IS. buk W.] that was offrid for synne, he foond it brent, and he was wrooth aȝens Eliazar and Ythamar, `the sones of Aaron [Aarons sones IS.] that weren left [left alyue IS.] . [verse 17] And he seide, Whi eten not ȝe the sacrifice for synne in the hooli place, which [the which I.] sacrifice is hooli `of the noum|bre [Om.
