CAPI. IIII.

ANd the Lorde spake vnto Moses say∣enge: [unspec A] speake vnto the Chyldren of Is∣raell, and saye: Yf a soule synne thorow ygnoraunce, & hath done any of those thyng{is} whiche the Lorde hath forbydden in his cō∣maundementes to be done. As yf the preest that is anoynted do syn, ❀ (accordyng to the synne of the people) let hym brynge for his synne, whiche he hath synned / a yonge oxe without blemysh vnto the Lorde for a synne∣offerynge. And he shall brynge the yonge oxe vnto the dore of the Tabernacle of wytnesse before the Lorde, & shall put his hande vpon the yonge oxe heade, and kyll the yonge oxe before the Lorde.

And the preest that is anoynted shal take [unspec B] of the yonge oxe bloode, and brynge it in to the tabernacle of wytnesse, and the preest shal dyp his fynger in the bloode, and sprynkle therof. vii. tymes before the Lorde / euen be∣fore the hangynge of the holy place. And he shall put some of the bloode before the lorde / vpon the hornes of the aulter of swete sence / whiche is in the Tabernacle of wytnesse, and shall powre all the bloode of the yonge oxe / vnto the botome of the aulter of burntoffe∣rynge, whiche is at the dore of the tabernacle of wytnesse. And he shall take away al the fat of the oxe that is for synne, the fat that coue∣reth the inwardes, & all the fat that is aboute the inwardes, and the two kydneyes, and the fat that is vpon them, and vpon the loynes / & the aboundaunce of the lyuer shall he take awaye with the kydneyes: as it was taken a∣waye in the oxe of the peaceofferynges, and let the preest burne them vpon the aulter of burntofferynge. [unspec C]

But the skynne of the yonge oxe, and al his fleshe, with his heade / & his legges, with his inwardes, and his donge / shall he beare out and cary the yonge oxe altogyther out of the hooste vnto a clene place: euen where the asshes are powred out / and burne hym there on wood in the fyre: euen by the place where the asshes are cast out, shall he be burnte. Yf the hole congregacyon of Israell syn thorow ygnoraunce, & the thynge be hyd from theyr eyes: so that they haue cōmytted any of those thynges whiche the Lorde hath forbydden to be done in his cōmaundementes, and haue offended. When the synne whiche they haue synned in / is knowen, the congregacyon shal brynge a yonge oxe for the synne, and brynge hym before the Tabernacle of wytnesse, and the elders of the multytude shall put theyr handes vpon the heade of the yonge oxe be∣fore the Lorde. And the yonge oxe shall be slayne before the Lorde. [unspec D]

And the preest that is anoynted, shal bryng of his bloode into the tabernacle of wytnesse, and the preest shall dyppe his fynger in the bloode, and sprynkle it seuen tymes before the Lorde: euen before the vayle. And shall put of the blode vpon the hornes of the aul∣ter, whiche is before the Lorde in the Taber∣nacle of wytnesse, & shall powre all the blood vnto the botome of the aulter of burntoffe∣rynge whiche is before the dore of the taber∣nacle of wytnesse, and shall take all his fatte from hym, and burne it vpon the aulter, and shall do with this yonge oxe / as he dyd with the yonge oxe for synne: euen so shall he doo with this.

And the preest shall make an attonement for them / and it shall be forgyuen them. And [unspec E] he shall brynge this yonge oxe without the hoost, and burne him as he burneth the fyrst. For it is an oblacyon for the syn of the con∣gregacyon. When a Lorde synneth, and com¦mytteth thorowe ygnoraunce anye of these thynges (whiche the Lorde his god hath for∣bydden to be done in his cōmaundementes) and hath offended. And yf his synne be she∣wed vnto hym: whiche he hath done, he shall brynge his offerynge: euen an he goote with∣out blemysshe / and laye his hande vpon the heade of the he goote, and kyll it in the place where the burntofferynge is vsed to be kyl∣led before the Lorde: for it is a synofferynge. And let the preest take of the bloode of the of∣ferynge with his fynger, and put it vpon the hornes of the burntofferynge aulter, & powre his bloode vnto the botome of the burntoffe∣rynge aulter, and burne al his fatte vpon the aulter, as the fat of the peaceofferynges.

And the preest shall make an attonement for hym, as concernynge his syn / & it shalbe for gyuen hym. Yf one of the comen peple of the

lande synne thorowe ygnoraunce, and com∣myt [unspec F] any of the thynges which the lorde hath forbydden in his commaundementes to be done, & so hath trespassed: Yf his syn whiche he hath synned, come to his knowledge, he shall brynge for his offeryng, a she goote frō among the flockes, without blemyshe for his syn, whiche he hath synned, & laye his hande vpon the heade of the offeryng, and slee it in the place of burntofferinges. And the preest shall take of the bloode therof with his fyn∣ger, & put it vpon the hornes of the burntoffe¦rynge aulter / & powre al the bloode vnto the botome of the aulter, & shall take awaye all his fat / as the fat of the peaceofferynges is taken away. And the preest shal burne it vpō the aulter / that it may be a swete sauour vn∣to the lorde, & the preest shal make an attone∣ment for hym / and it shalbe forgyuen hym.

And yf he brynge a shepe for a synne of∣feryng, [unspec G] he shal brynge a female without ble∣myshe, and laye his hande vpon the heade of the offeryng, and slee it for a synofferynge in the place where they kyll the burntofferyng. And the preest shall take of the bloode of the offerynge with his fynger, and put it vpon the hornes of the burntofferyng aulter, & shal powre the bloode therof vnto the botome of the aulter. And he shall take awaye all the fat therof, as the fat of the shepe of the peace offerynge is wont to be taken away. And the Preest shall burne it vpon the aulter / that it may be the lordes burntsacrifyce, & the preest shal make an attonement for his synne / that he hath cōmytted, & it shall be forgyuen hym.
