IS.] al tyme in to the seyntuarie, which [that IS.] is with ynne the veil bifor the propicia|torie [propiciatorie or Goddis answerynge place S.] , bi [with IS.] which the arke is hilid, that he die not; for Y schal appere in a cloude [verse 3] on [vpon IS.] Goddis [the heuenly S.] answeryng place; `no but [but if K.] he do these thingis bifore [that ben seid bifore IS.] . He schal offer a calf for synne, and a ram in to brent sa|crifice; [verse 4] he schal be clothid with [in L.] a lynnun coote [cloth IS.] , he schal hide the [his S.] schamefast mem|bris with pryuy [Om.

[verse 5] And he schal take of al the multitude of the sones of Israel twei kidis for synne, [verse 6] and o [a IS.] ram in to brent sacrifice; and whanne he offrith [he offrith, that is, disposith to offre BCGNQ.] a calf, and preieth [ether purueieth G.] [and preieth, in Ebreu it is, and clensith, that is, ordeyn|eth to clense. CGQ.] [verse 7] for hym [hym|self plures.] , and for his hows, he schal make twei `buckis of geet [geet buckis IS.] to stonde bifor the Lord, in the dore of the tabernacle of wit|nessyng; [verse 8] and he [Aaron IS.] schal sende [putte W. caste plures.] `on [lot vpon IS.] euer eithir [either side D.] , o lot [a lot on euer eithir A. oo lot on euer either MT sec. m.] to [o lott to IS.] the Lord [dore GQ.] , and another lot [Om. IS.] to the goot that schal be sent out. [verse 9] Whos lot goith out to the Lord, he [he that owith that geet S.] schal offre [offre or sle S.] [verse 10] it for synne; sotheli whos lot goith out in to goot [the goot IKMSWX.] that schal be sent out, he [he that owith him S.] schal sette [offre S.] hym quyk bifor the Lord, that he sende preyers `on hym [vp on his offryng IS.] , and sende hym [that goot IS.] out in to wildirnesse. [verse 11] Whanne these thingis [Om. Q.] ben doon riȝtfuli, he schal offre the calf, and `he schal preye [preiynge IS.] for hym silf, and for his hows, and [he I. and he KSW.] schal offre the [that IS.] calf. [verse 12] And whanne he hath take the [a Q.] cen|seer, which [that IS.] he hath fillid of [with IS.] the [Om. IS.] coolis of the auter, and `he hath take in [takynge with his IS.] hond the `swete smellynge spicery maad [maad encense with dyuers spices IS.] into encense [encensyng IS.] , he schal entre ouer [aboue IS.] the veil in [verse 13] to the [Om. plures.] hooli thingis [place IS.] ; that whanne swete smellynge spiceries ben put on [vpon IS.] the fier, the cloude [cloude of hem IS.] and `vapour of tho [her breeth IS.] hile Goddis answeryng place [answering place, that is, the propiciatorie BCQN.] , which [that IS.] is on [vpon IS.] the wit|nessyng [which is on the witnessing, that is, on the ark with the tablis of lawe. BCGNQ.] , and he [Aaron IS.] die not. [verse 14] Also he [Aaron IS.] schal take of the `blood of the calf [calues blood IS.] , and he schal sprenge seuensithis with the [his IS.] fyngur aȝens `the propiciatorie [Goddis answeringe place IS.] , `to the eest [eestwarde I. to eestwarde S.] . [verse 15] And whanne he [Aaron IS.] hath slayn the `buk of geet [goot bucke IS.] , for [offrid for S.] synne of the puple, he schal brynge in the blood therof with ynne the veil, as it is comaundid of the `blood of the calf [calues blood IS.] ,

that he sprynge [sprynge it IS.] euene aȝens Goddis an|sweryng place, and he schal clense the [verse 16] seyntuarie fro vnclennessis [vnclennes S.] of the sones of Israel, and fro her trespassyngis, and alle [alle her IS.] synnes. Bi this custom he [Aaron IS.] schal do in the tabernacle of witnessyng, which [that IS.] is set among hem, in the [Om. IS.] myddis of partis [the partis IS.] [of partis, in Ebreu it is, of filthis. CGQ.] of the [her IS.] abitacioun `of hem [Om. IS.] . [verse 17] No man be in the tabernacle, whanne the bischop schal entre in to the seyntuarie, that he preye for hym silf, and for his hows, and for al the cumpeny of Israel, til [til that IS.] he go out of the tabernacle. [verse 18] Sotheli whanne he hath go out to the auter which [that IS.] is bifor the Lord, preye he [he thanne IS.] for hym silf, and schede [heelde I.] he on the hornes [corners I. h. or corners S.] therof, bi cumpas, the blood `that is [Om. BC.] takun of the calf, and of the [verse 19] `buk of geet [goot bukke IS.] ; and sprynge he [Om. L. he it IS.] seuensithis with the [his IS.] fyngur, and clense he, and ha|lewe [halowe he BF pr. m.] the autir fro vnclennessis of the sones of Israel. [verse 20] Aftir that he hath clensid the seyntuarie, and tabernacle [the tabernacle IS.] , and auter [the auter IS.] , thanne offre he the lyuynge `buc of geet [goot bucke IS.] ; [verse 21] and whanne euer [his euer IS.] eithir hond is set [put IS.] on [vpon S.] the heed therof, knowleche the preest alle the wickidnessis of the sones of Israel, and alle the [her IS.] trespassis and synnes `of hem [Om. IS.] , whiche [whiche synnus IS.] the preest schal wische [waiȝsshe KLO sup. ras. waishe X. wische or wolne S.] to the heed [goot heed S.] therof [Om. S.] , and schal [he schal IS.] sende hym [the goot IS.] out in to deseert bi a man maad redi [redi therto S.] . [verse 22] And whanne the `buc of geet [goot bucke IS.] hath bore alle the [her IS.] wickidnessis `of hem [Om. IS.] in to a [Om. IS.] deseert [verse 23] lond, and is [he is IS.] left `in deseert [there IS.] , Aaron schal turn aȝen in to the tabernacle of witness|yng; and whanne the clothis ben put of [fro him S.] , in whiche he was clothid bifore, whanne he entrid in to the seyntuarie of God, and [verse 24] ben [tho clothis ben S.] left there, he schal waische his fleisch in the hooli place, and he schal be clothid in his owen clothis, and aftir that he hath go out, and hath offrid the brent sacrifice of hym silf, and of the puple, he schal

preye as wel for hym silf, as for the puple; [verse 25] and he [Aaron IS.] schal brenne on [vpon IS.] the auter the in|nere fatnesse which [that IS.] is offrid for synne. [verse 26] Sotheli he that leet go the `buk of geet [goot bucke IS.] able to be sent out, schal waische hise clothis and bodi [his bodi IS.] with water, and so he schal entre in to the castels [tentis IS.] . [verse 27] Forsothe thei schulen bere out of the castels [tentis IS.] the calf and `buk of geet [the goot bucke IS.] , that weren offrid for synne, and whos blood was brouȝt in to the seyntuarie, that the clensyng were fillid [fulfillid IS.] ; and thei schulen brenne bi [in I.] fier as well the skynnys, as the fleischis [fleishe I.] and dung of tho [tho beestis IS.] . [verse 28] And who euer brenneth [schal brenne IS.] tho, schal [he schal I.] waische hise clothis and fleisch in watir, and so he schal entre in to the castels [tentis IS.] . [verse 29] And this schal be to ȝou a lawful thing euerlastynge; in the seuenthe monethe, in the tenthe dai of the monethe, ȝe schu|len turment ȝoure soulis, and ȝe schulen not do ony werk, nethir a [Om. B.] man borun in the lond, nether a comelyng which [that IS.] is a pilgrym among ȝou. [verse 30] The delyueryng fro synne, and the clensyng of ȝou schal be in this dai, ȝe schulen be clensid bifore the [verse 31] Lord fro alle ȝoure synnes; for it is sabat [the sabat IO sup. ras. S.] of restyng, and ȝe schulen turment ȝoure soulis bi euerlastynge religioun [religioun in this saboth IS.] . [verse 32] Sotheli the preest schal clense [out clense S.] , which [the which I. first himself that S.] is anoyntid, and whos hondis ben halewid, that he be set in preesthod for his fadir; and he [that prest S.] schal be clothid in a lynnun stoole, and in [verse 33] hooli clothis, and he schal clense the seyn|tuarie, and the tabernacle of witnessyng, and the auter, and the preestis, and al the puple. [verse 34] And this schal be to ȝou a lawful thing euerlastynge, that ȝe preye for the sones of Israel, and for alle the [her IS.] synnes `of hem [Om. IS.] , onys in the ȝeer. Therfor he [Aaron IS.] dide, as the Lord comaundide to Moises.
