CAPI. XVII.

ANd the Lorde spake vnto Moses, say∣enge. [unspec A] Speake vnto Aaron, and vnto his sonnes and vnto all the chyldren of Israel, and say vnto them. This is the thing which the lorde hath charged, saynge. What man soeuer of the house of Israel kylleth an oxe, or lambe, or goote in the hooste, or that kylleth it oute of the hooste, and bryngeth it not vnto the dore of the Tabernacle of wyt∣nesse, to offre an offrynge vnto the Lorde be∣fore the dwellyng place of the Lorde, bloode shall be imputed vnto that man, as thoughe he had shed bloode, and that man shal be ro∣ted out from amonge his people.

Wherfore when the chyldren of Israel [unspec B] bryng theyr offrynges, that they offre in the wyde felde, they shulde bryng them vnto the lorde: euen vnto the dore of the tabernacle of wytnesse to the preest, to offre them for peace offrynges vnto the lord. And the preest must sprynkle the bloode vppon the aulter of the Lorde, whiche is before the dore of the taber∣nacle of wytnesse, & burne the fat for a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde.

And let them no more offre theyr offrynges vnto deuyls, after whom they haue gone a

hoorynge. This shall be an ordinaunce for euer vnto them in theyr generacyons.

And thou shalte saye vnto them: what soeuer man it be of the house of Israell or of the straungers which soiourne among you / that offereth a burtofferyng or sacrifice, and bryngeth it not vnto the dore of the Taber∣nacle of wytnesse to offre it vnto the Lorde, that man shal peryshe frō among his people.

And what soeuer man it be of the house of Israel, or of the straungers that soiourne a∣mong [unspec C] you, that eateth any maner of bloode, I wyl set my face agaynst that soule that ea∣teth blood, & wyll destroy hym from amonge his people: for the lyfe of the flesshe is in the bloode, and I haue gyuen it vnto you vpon the aulter, to make an attonement for your soules, for bloode shall make an attonement for the soule. And therfore I sayde vnto the chyldren of Israell: let no Soule of you eate blood. Neyther let any straūger that soiour∣neth amonge you, eate bloode.

And what souer man it be of the chyldren [unspec D] of Israel or of the straungers that soiurne a∣mong you, whiche hunteth and catcheth any beast or foule that may be eatē, let him powre out the blood therof, and couer it with earth, for the lyfe of all flesshe is in the bloode of it, therfore I sayde vnto the chyldren of Israel * 1.1 ye shal eate the blood of no maner of fleshe for the lyfe of all flesshe is the blood therof: whosoeuer eateth it, shal perysshe. And euery soule that eateth it whiche dyed alone, or that whiche was torne with wylde beastes: why∣ther it be one of youre selues or a straunger, he shall wasshe his clothes, and bathe hym selfe in water, and be vncleane vnto the euen and then shal he be cleane. If he wasshe them not, nor bathe his fleshe, he shal bere his syn.
