The XV. Chapter.

[ A] ANd the LORDE talked with Moses, and sayde: Speake to the childrē of Is¦rael, & saye vnto them: Whan ye come in to the lande of youre dwellinge, which I shal geue you, and wil do sacrifice vnto the LORDE, whether it be a burnt offerynge, or an offrynge for a speciall vowe, or a frewyll offerynge, or youre feast offerynges, that ye maye make a swete sauoure vnto the LORDE, of oxen or of shepe.

He y^t wil offre now his gifte vnto y^e LOR¦DE, shal brynge for the meat offeringe a tēth deale of fyne floure myngled with oyle of the fourth parte of an Hin, and wyne for y^e drynk offerynge the fourth parte of an Hin also: to the burnt offeringe, or eny other offe∣ringe, whan a lambe is offred. But whā the¦re is a ramme offred, thou shalt make the meat offerynge two tēth deales of fyne flou¦re myngled with oyle, of the thirde parte of an Hin, and y^e thirde parte of an Hin of wy¦ne also for a drynk offeringe: this shalt thou offre for a swete sauo^r vnto the LORDE.

[ B] But yf thou wilt offre an oxe for a burnt offerynge, or for a speciall vowe offerynge, or for an health offeringe vnto the LORDE, thou shalt brynge to the oxe, the meat offryn¦ge, euen thre tenth deales of fyne floure min¦gled with half an Hin of oyle, & half an Hin of wyne for a drynk offrynge. This is an of∣ferynge of a swete sauoure vnto the LORDE. Thus shalt thou do with an oxe, with a ram¦me, with a lambe, and with a goate. Acor∣dinge as the nombre of the offerynges is, therafter shall the nombre of the meat offe∣rynges and drynk offerynges be also.

He that is one of youre selues, shall do this, that he maye offre a sacrifice of a swe∣te sauoure vnto the LORDE. And yf there dwell a straunger with you, or is amōge you¦re kynszfolkes, and wil do an offerynge vnto the LORDE for a swete sauoure, the same shal do as ye do. Let there be one statute for the whole cōgregacion, both vnto you and to the straungers. A perpetuall statute shal it be vnto youre posterities, that the straun∣ger be euē as ye before y^e LORDE. One lawe, and one ordinaunce shalbe vnto you and to the straunger that dwelleth with you.

And the LORDE talked with Moses, & sayde: Speake to the children of Israel, and saye vnto them: Whan ye come in to the lan¦de, in to y^t which I shal brynge you, so that ye eate the bred of the londe, ye shal heue vp an Heue offerynge vnto the LORDE, name∣ly, a cake of the firstlinges of youre dowe shall ye geue for an Heue offerynge: as the Heue offerynge of the barne, euen so shal ye geue the firstlinges of youre dowe also vnto the LORDE, for an Heue offerynge amonge youre posterities.

And whan ye thorow ignoraunce ouer se [ C] eny of these commaundementes, which the LORDE hath spoken by Moses, and all y^t the LORDE hath commaunded you by Mo¦ses (from the daye that the LORDE began∣ne to commaunde for youre posterities) and the cōgregacion do ought ignorauntly, thē shal the whole congregacion offre a yonge bullocke from amonge the greate catell to a burnt offerynge, for a swete sauoure vnto the LORDE, with his meat offerynge and drynk offerynge as the maner is, and an he goate for a syn offerynge. And so shal the prest ma¦ke an attonement for the whole congrega∣cion of the children of Israel, and it shalbe forgeuen them: for it is an ignoraunce. And they shal brynge these their giftes for an of∣ferynge vnto the LORDE, and their syn offe¦rynge before the LORDE for their ignoraun¦ce, and it shalbe forgeuen the whole congre¦gacion of the childrē of Israel, & the straun¦ger also y^t dwelleth amonge you, for so moch as all the people is in soch ignoraunce.

Yf one soule synne thorow ignoraunce, the same shal brynge a she goate of a yeare olde for a syn offerynge. And the prest shall make an attonement for soch an ignoraunt soule with the syn offeringe for the ignoraun¦ce

before the LORDE, that he maye recon∣cyle him, and it shal be forgeuen him. And it shal be one lawe, (that ye shal do for y^e igno∣raunce) both vnto him that is borne amonge the children of Israel, and to the straunger that dwelleth amonge you.

But yf a soule do ought presumptuous∣ly, whether he be one of youre selues or a straunger, he hath despysed the LORDE: y^e same soule shalbe roted out from amōge his people: because he hath despysed the worde of the LORDE, and hath left his commaun¦dement vndone: that soule shall vtterly pe∣rishe, his synne shalbe vpon him.

[illustration]

[ D] Now whyle the children of Israel were in the wyldernesse, they founde a man ga∣therynge stickes vpon the Sabbath daye. And they that founde him gatherynge stic∣kes, brought him vnto Moses and Aaron, and before the whole congregacion. And they put him in preson, for it was not decla∣red what shulde be done vnto him. The LORDE sayde vnto Moses: The man shall dye the death, the whole congregacion shal stone him without the hoost. Then the who¦le cōgregacion brought him out of y^e hoost, and stoned him that he dyed, as y^e LORDE commaunded Moses.

And y^e LORDE sayde vnto Moses: Spea¦ke to the childrē of Israel, & saye vnto thē, y^t they make them gardes vpon y^e quarters of their garmentes amonge all yo^r posterities, and put yalowe rybandes vpon the gardes in y^e quarters. And y^e gardes shal serue you, y^t ye maye loke vpon thē, and remembre all the cōmaundementes of the LORDE, & do them: that ye order not youre selues after y^e meanynge of youre awne hert, ner go awho¦rynge after youre awne eyes. Therfore shal ye remembre and do all my commaundemen¦tes, and be holy vnto youre God. I am the LORDE youre God, which brought you out of the lande of Egipte, to be yo^r God. Euen I the LORDE youre God.
