[verse 1] And the Lord spak to Moises and to [verse 2] Aaron, and seide, This is the religioun of sacrifice, which [that IS.] the Lord ordeynede. Co|maunde thou to the sones of Israel, that thei brynge to thee a reed cow of hool age [In Ebru it is, not of age, but reed hoollich, that is, with|oute diuersite of ony colour. Lire here. GK QX.] , in which [whom IS.] is no wem, nether sche [it I. Om. RST sec. m.] hath bore ȝok. [verse 3] And ȝe schulen bitake hir to Eleazar, preest [the preest IS.] , which [that IS.] schal offre `the cow [hir I. that cow S.] , led out of the [Om. O sec. m.] tentis, in the siȝt of alle men. [verse 4] And he schal dippe his fyngur in the blood therof, and schal [he schal IS.] sprynge seuene sithis aȝens the ȝatis of the taber|nacle. [verse 5] And he schal brenne that cow, while alle men sien; and he schal ȝyue as wel the skyn and fleischis [the fleishe IS.] therof as the blood and dung [the dung IS.] to flawme [brennyng IS.] . [verse 6] Also the preest schal `sende a tre of cedre [putte wode of cedre I. putte cedre wood S.] , and ysope, and reed threed died twies, into the [Om. O.] flawme [fijr IS.] that deuourith [brenneth IS.] the cow. [verse 7] And thanne at the laste, whanne hise [the preestis IS.] clothis `and bodi [Om. O. and his bodi IS.] ben waischun, he schal entre in to the tentis, and he schal be defoulid [vnclene IS.] `til to [vnto the IS. to O sec. m. til to the K.] euentid. [verse 8] But also he that brente the cow [he for whom the cow was brent [offrid S] IS. marg.] , schal waische hise clothis, and bodi [his bodi IS.] , and he schal be vncleene `til to [vnto IS. to O sec. m.] euentid [the euentid IKS.] . [verse 9] Forsothe [sothely IS.] a cleene man schal gadere the aischis of the cow [brent cow S.] , and schal [he schal IS.] schede [heelde hem I. shede hem S.] out tho [Om. IS.] with out the tentis, in a place moost cleene, that tho [tho aishes IS.] be to [into B.] the [Om. B.] multitude of the sones of Israel in to keping, and in to watir of spryngyng; for the [that IS.] cow is brent for synne. [verse 10] And whanne he that bar [bar out IS.] the aischis of the cow, hath waische hise clothis, he schal be vncleene `til to [vnto the IS. til to the K.] euentid. And the sones of Israel, and comelyngis [the comelyngis IS.] that dwellen among hem, schulen haue [han or holde S.] this [this doyng IS.] hooli bi euerlastynge lawe. [verse 11] He that touchith a deed bodi of man [a man I.] , and is vncleene for this [this touchinge S.] bi seuene

[verse 12] daies, schal [he schal IST pr. m.] be spreynt of this watir in the thridde, and in the seuenthe dai; and so he schal be clensid. If he is not spreynt in the thridde dai, he schal not mow be clensid in the [Om. D.] seuenthe dai. [verse 13] Ech [ech man CE.] that touchith the [a IS.] deed bodi bi it silf of [on C.] man|nus soule [kynde IS.] , and is not spreynt with this [his S.] medlyng [of water and aschis S marg.] , defoulith the `tabernacle of the Lord [Lordis tabernacle IS.] , and he schal perische fro Israel; for he is not spreynt with the wateris [watir plures.] of clensyng, he schal be vncleene, and his filthe schal dwelle on [vpon IS.] hym. [verse 14] This is the lawe of a man that dieth in the taber|nacle; alle [alle men IS.] that entren in to his tente, and alle vessels [the vessels IS.] that ben there, schulen be defoulid bi seuene daies. [verse 15] A vessel that hath not an hilyng, nethir a byndyng [bidinge S.] aboue, schal be vncleene. [verse 16] If ony man touchith the deed bodi of man [a man BIS.] slayn in the [Om. ELP.] feeld, ether deed bi hym silf, ether a boon [boon of him IS.] , ether [of S.] the [Om. C. his IS.] sepulcre `of hym [Om. IS.] , he schal be vncleene bi seuene daies. [verse 17] And thei schulen take `of the [Om. IRST pr. m. W.] aischis of the brennyng, and of the synne [synne, that is, of the cow offrid for synne BCEGIKLNPQSX.] , and thei schulen sende [putte IS.] quyk [the quyk T pr. m.] watris in to a ves|sel [verse 18] on [vpon IS.] tho [thilke I.] aischis; in whiche whanne `a cleene [Om. S.] man hath dippid ysope, he schal [Om. Q.] spreynge therof [ther with IS.] the [al the K sec. m.] tente, and al the purtenaunce of howshold [the howshold IS.] , and men [the men also IS.] de|foulid bi [with S.] sich defoulyng. [verse 19] And in this maner a cleene man schal clense an vn|cleene [vncleene thing IS.] , in the thridde and in [Om. BCFKX.] the [Om. BF.] se|uenthe dai; and he schal [schal thanne S.] be clensid in the seuenthe dai. And [Om. S.] he schal waische hym silf, and hise clothis, and he schal be vncleene `til to [vnto IS. to O.] euentid [the euentid IKS.] . [verse 20] If ony man [Om. A.] is not clensid bi this custom, the soule of hym schal perische fro the [Om. S.] myddis of the chirche; for he defoulith the `seyntuarie of the Lord [Lordis seyntuarie IS.] , and is [he is IS.] not spreynt with the watir of clensyng. [verse 21] This comaundement [heest IS.]

schal be a lawful thing euerlastynge. Also he that schal sprenge the watris schal waische his clothis; ech man that touchith the watris of clensyng, schal be vncleene `til to [vnto IS.] euentid [the euentid IKS.] . [verse 22] What euer thing an vn|cleene man touchith, he schal make it [Om. plures.] vn|cleene; and a soule [lijf IS.] that touchith ony of these thingis `defoulid so [Om. I. thus defoulid S.] , schal be vn|cleene `til to [vnto IS. to O sec. m.] euentid [the euentid IKS.] .
