ANd ✚ the Lorde spake vnto Moses, [unspec A] saynge. Speake vnto al the multitude of the chyldren of Israel, and say vnto them: * 1.1 Ye shalbe holy, for I the Lorde your God am holy. Ye shall feare euery man his father and his mother, & kepe my Sabboths I am the Lorde your God. Ye shal not turne vnto ydols nor make you Goddes of metall: I am the lorde your god. If ye offre a peace∣offerynge vnto the Lorde, ye shal offre it, that ye maye be accepted. * 1.2 It shall be eaten the same day ye offre it, and on the morowe. And yf ought remayne vntyll the thyrde daye, it shall be brent in the fyre.

And yf it be eaten the thyrde day, it is vn∣cleane, [unspec B] & not accepted. He that eateth it, shall beare his synne, bycause he hath defyled the halowed thynge of the Lorde, and that soule shall perysshe from amonge his people.

* 1.3 When ye reape downe the rype corne of your lande, ye shal not repe downe the vtter∣most border of your felde, neyther shalt thou gather that which is lefte behynde in thy har¦uest. Thou shalte not plucke in all thy vyne∣yarde cleane, neyther gather in the grapes that are ouerscaped. But thou shalte leaue them for the poore and straunger. I am the Lorde your God. ⊢ [unspec C]

✚ * 1.4 Ye shall not steale, neyther lye: neyther deale falsely one with an other. ‡ 1.5 Ye shal not swere by my name in vayne, neyther shalte thou defyle the name of thy God. I am the Lorde. Thou shalte not do thy neyghboure wrong, neyther rob hym violently, * 1.6 neyther shall the workemans laboure abyde with the vntyll the mornynge. Thou shalte not curse the deafe, * 1.7 neyther put a stomblyng blocke before the blynde, but shalte feare thy God. I am the lorde▪ Ye shall do no vnryghteous∣nes in iudgement. * 1.8 Thou shalt not fauour the pore nor honour the myghty, but in rygh∣teousnesse shalte thou iudge thy neyghbour.

Thou shalte not go vp and downe as a [unspec D] preuy accuser among thy peple, neyther shalt thou stande agaynst the blood of thy neygh∣bour. I am the Lorde. * 1.9 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thyne herte, but shalte in any wyse * 1.10 rebuke thy neyghbour, that thou bere not syn for his sake. ‡ 1.11 Thou shalt not aueng thy selfe, nor be myndfull of wronge agaynst the chyldren of thy people / * 1.12 but shalte loue thy neyghboure euen as thy selfe. I am the lorde. ⊢ Ye shall kepe myne ordinaunces.

Thou shalte not let cattell gendre with a contrarye kynde, neyther sowe thy felde with myngled seede, neyther shalt thou put on any garment of lynnen and wollen.

Who soeuer lyeth and medleth with a wo∣man [unspec E] that is a bonde mayde, neuertheles ap∣poynted to a husbande, but not redemed, nor fredome gyuen her, she shalbe scourged with a lethren whyp, & they shall not dye, bycause she was not free. And he shall brynge for his trespace vnto the lorde, before the dore of the Tabernacle of wytnesse, a ram for a trespace offryng. And the preest shal make an attone∣ment for hym with the ram, which is for the trespace before the Lorde, concernynge his synne which he hath done: & the synne which he hath done shall be forgyuen hym.

When ye come to the lande, and haue plan¦ted all maner of trees conuenient to be eaten of ☞ ye shall put away the foreskyn of euery one with the fruyte therof: euen thre yere shal they be vncircumcised vnto you, & shal not be eaten of. But in the fourth yere al the fruyte of them shall be holy and cōmendable to the Lorde. In the fyfth yere shall ye eate of the fruyte of them, and ye may gather in the in∣creace [unspec F] of them. I am the Lorde your God.

☞ * 1.13 Ye shal not eate vpon blood, neyther shal ye vse wytchcraft, ☞ nor obserue tymes Ye * 1.14 shal not rounde the lockes of your hea∣des, neyther shalte thou marre the tuftes of thy beerde. Ye shall not rente your flesshe ☞ for any soules sake, nor prynte any mar∣kes vpon you: I am the Lorde. Thou shalte not make thy doughter common, that thou woldest cause her to be an hoore: lest the land also fal to hooredome, and be full of wycked∣nesse. Ye shall kepe my Sabboths, and feare my sanctuary: I am the Lorde. Ye shall not regarde them that worke with spirites, * 1.15 ney¦ther seke after sothe sayers to be defyled by them. I am the Lorde your God. [unspec G]

* 1.16 Thou shalte ryse vp before the hoorehead and reuerence the face of the olde man, and

drede thy god. I am the Lorde. If a straun∣ger saiourne with the in your lande, ye shall not vexe hym. * 1.17 But the straunger that dwel¦leth with you, shall be as one of your selues, and thou shalte loue hym as thy selfe, for ye were straūgers in the lande of Egypt, I am the Lorde your God. Ye shall do no vnrygh∣tousnesse in Iudgemente, in meteyearde, in weyght or in measure. True balaunces, true weyghtes. ☞ A true Epha, and a true Hin shal ye haue. I am the Lorde your god which brought you out of the land of Egypt. Ther¦fore shall ye obserue al my ordinaunces, and al my iudgementes, and do them: I am the Lorde.
