[verse 1] And the Lord spak to Moises, and seide, [verse 2] Speke thou to Aaron and to hise sones, that thei be war of these thingis of the sones of Israel, whiche thingis [Om. IS.] ben ha|lewid [hal. that is, offrid BCELNPQX. hal. or offrid S.] ; and that they defoule not the name of thingis [the thingis IS.] halewid to me, whiche thingis [Om. IKO sec. m. S.] thei offren; Y am the [Om. S.] Lord. [verse 3] Seie thou to hem, and to the aftir comeris of hem, Ech man of ȝoure kynrede, `which man [that IS.] neiȝeth to tho thingis that ben ha|lewid, and whiche thingis the sones of Is|rael offreden to the Lord, in `which man [whom I.] is vnclennesse, schal [he schal IS.] perische bifor the Lord; Y am the [Om. IS.] Lord. [verse 4] A man of the seed of Aaron, `which man [that IS.] is leprouse, ethir suffrith `fletyng out [flowyng IS.] of seed, schal

not ete of these thingis, that ben halewid to me [me or offrid S.] , til he be heelid. He that touchith an vncleene thing on [vpon IS.] a deed bodi, and fro whom the [Om. IS.] seed as of leccherie goith out, [verse 5] and which [that IS.] touchith a crepynge beeste, and what euer vncleene thing, whos touch|yng [verse 6] is foul, schal [he schal I.] be vncleene `til to [vnto the IS. til to the K.] euen|tid, and he schal not ete these thingis, that ben halewid to me; but whanne he hath [verse 7] waische his fleisch in watir, and the sunne hath go doun, thanne he schal be clensid, and schal [he schal IS.] ete halewid thingis, for it is his mete. [verse 8] He schal not ete a thing deed bi it silf, and takun of a [Om. C.] beeste, nethir he schal be defoulid in tho [tho thingis IS.] ; Y am the [Om. IS.] Lord. [verse 9] Thei schulen kepe myn heestis, that thei be not suget to synne, and die in the seyn|tuarye, whanne thei han defoulid it; Y am the [Om. IS.] Lord that halewe [halewith S.] ȝou. [verse 10] Ech alien schal not ete of thingis halewid; the hyne which [that IS.] is a straunger, and the hirid man of the preest, schulen not ete of tho [tho thingis IS.] . So|theli [verse 11] these [thilke I.] seruauntis, whom [that I. which W.] the preest hath bouȝt, and which [he that I.] is a [Om. G.] borun ser|uaunt [verse 12] of his hows, schulen ete of tho [tho thingis IS.] . If the `douȝter of the preest [preestis douȝter IS.] is weddid to ony [ony man IS.] of the puple, sche schal not ete of these thingis that ben halewid, and of the [verse 13] firste [cheef IS.] fruytis; sotheli if sche is a widewe, ether forsakun, and turneth aȝen with out fre children to `the hows of hir fadir [hir fadris hous IS.] , sche schal be susteyned bi the metis of hir fa|dir, as a damysel was wont; ech alien hath not power to ete of tho [tho thingis IS.] . [verse 14] He that etith bi ignoraunce of halewid thingis, schal [he schal IS.] adde [adde to IS.] the fyuethe part with that that he eet, and `schal ȝyue [he schal ȝyue it IS.] to the preest [verse 15] in [in the IS.] seyntuarie, and thei schulen not de|foule the halewid thingis of the sones of Israel, whiche [the whiche I.] thei offren to the Lord, [verse 16] lest perauenture thei suffren the wickid|nesse of her trespas, whanne thei han ete halewid [the halewid IS.] thingis; Y am the [Om. IS.] Lord that `halewe hem [halewith ȝou S.] . The Lord spak to Moises,

and seide, Speke thou to Aaron and to [Om. plures.] hise sones, and to alle the sones of Israel, and thou schalt seie to hem, A man of the hous of Israel and of [of the ILO pr. m. S.] comelyngis [comelingis, that is, con|uertid to the lawe of Jewis. Lire here. CQ.] that dwellen at [anentis I.] hem, which [that IS.] offrith his offryng to the Lord, and ethir paieth avowis, ethir offrith bi his fre wille, what euer thing he offrith in to brent sacrifice of the Lord, [verse 19] that it be offrid bi ȝou, it schal be a male without wem, of oxen, and of scheep [a scheep A.] , and [verse 20] of geet; if it hath a wem, ȝe schulen not offre [offre it IKS.] , nether it schal be acceptable. [verse 21] A man that offrith a sacrifice of pesyble thingis to the Lord, and ethir paieth auowis, ethir offrith bi fre wille, as wel of oxun as of scheep, he schal offre a beeste without wem, that it be acceptable; ech [no IS.] wem schal not [Om.

[verse 23] A man may offre wilfuli an oxe and scheep [a scheep IS.] [an oxe and scheep, in E|breu it is, a scheep and an oxe superflu and dymynute, that is, hau|ynge a membre superflu ether failinge a mem|bre. Lire here. CGQX.] , whanne the eere and tail [the tail IKS.] ben kit of; but avow may not be paied of these beestis. [verse 24] Ȝe schulen not offre to the Lord ony beeste, whose priuy membris ben brokun, ethir brisid, ether kit, and takun awey, and outerli ȝe schulen not do these thingis in ȝoure lond. [verse 25] Of `the hond of an alien [the lond of an alien EKMNPWX. an alien lond S.] [that is, ne|ther Jew, ne|ther conuertid to the lawe of Jewis. BCGQX.] ȝe schulen not offre looues to ȝoure God, and what euer other thing he wole ȝyue [ȝyue that is not con|uertid I. ȝyue that is not c. to bileue S.] , for alle thingis [her thingis IS.] ben corrupt and defoulid; ȝe schulen not resseyue tho. [verse 26] And the Lord spak to [verse 27] Moises, and seide, Whanne an oxe, scheep [a scheep IS.] and goet [a goet IS.] ben brouȝt forth [Om. IS.] `of the mo|dris wombe [Om. FMW.] , in [Om. IS.] seuene daies tho schu|len be vnder `the tete of her modir [her modir teet IS.] ; so|theli in the eiȝte dai, and fro thennus forth, [verse 28] tho moun be offrid to the Lord, whether thilke is a cow, whether `thilke is [Om. IS.] a scheep; tho schulen not be offrid in o dai with her

fruytis. [verse 29] If ȝe offren to the Lord a sacri|fice for the doyng of thankyngis, that it mai be plesaunt, ȝe schulen ete it in the [verse 30] same dai in which it is offrid; ony thing [thing theroff IS.] schal not leeue in [in to IS.] the morewtid of the tother dai; Y am the [Om.

[verse 32] Defoule ȝe not myn hooli name, that Y be halewid in the myddis of the sones of Is|rael; Y am the [Om.
