CAPI. Primo.

THese be the wordes which [unspec A] Moses spake vnto all Israell, on the other syde Iordan in the wyldernesse, in the playne ouer agaynst the red see, bytwene Pharan & To∣phil, Laban, Hezeroth, and Disahab: eleuen dayes iourney from Horeb vnto Cad{is} barne by mount Seir. And it fortuned the fyrst day of the eleuenth moneth in the fourtyeth yere, that Moses spake vnto the chyldrē of Israel accordyng vnto all that the lorde had gyuen hym in cōmaundement vnto them, after that he had smytten * 1.1 Sehon the kyng of the A∣morites whiche dwelte in Hesbon: and Og, kynge of Basan whiche dwelte at Astaroth in Edrai. On the other syde Iordane in the lande of Moab, began Moses to declare this lawe, sayenge: the lorde our God spake vnto vs in Horeb, sayenge. Ye haue dwelte longe ynough in this Mounte: departe therfore / and take your iourney, and go vnto the hyll of the Amorites, and vnto al the places nygh¦ther vnto: bothe vnto the playne, and hylles and dales: to the south, to the ••ees syde, to the lande of Canaan, and vnto Libanon: euen vnto the great ryuer Euphrates.

Beholde, I haue set the lande before you: [unspec B] go in and * 1.2 possesse the lande which the lorde sware vnto your fathers Abraham, Isaac, & Iacob, to gyue vnto them & theyr seede after them. And I spake vnto you the same ceason sayenge. I am not able to beare you my selfe alone. For the Lorde your God hath multi∣plyed you: and beholde, ye are this day as the sterres of heuen in nombre (the lorde God of your fathers make you a thousande tymes so many mo as ye are, and blesse you, as he hath promysed you,) howe can * 1.3 I my selfe alone, beare the combraunce, charge, & stryfe that is amonge you? brynge (from amonge you) men of wysdome and of vnderstandyng and experte, accordynge to your trybes, and I wyll make them rulers ouer you. And ye answered me and sayde: that which thou hast spoken is good for vs to do. And soo out of your trybes I toke the captaynes, (men of wysdome and that were experte) and made them rulers ouer you: captaynes ouer thou∣sandes, and ouer hundredes, ouer fyftye, and ouer ten, and offycers amonge your trybes.

And I charged your Iudges that same [unspec C] tyme, saynge: heare the cause of your brethrē and * 1.4 iudge ryghteously bytwene euery man and his brother, and the straunger that is w^t hym. Se that ye knowe no ☞ faces in Iud∣gement: * 1.5 but heare the small as well as the great, and be afrayde of no man, for the iud∣gemente is Goddes. And the cause that is to * 1.6 harde for you, brynge vnto me, and I wyll heare it. And I cōmaunded you the same cea¦son, all the thynges whiche ye shulde do. And whē we departed from Horeb, we went thorowe all that great and terrible wylder∣nesse, as ye haue sene alonge by the waye of the hyll of the Amorites, as the lorde our god cōmaunded vs, and came to Cades Barne. And I sayde vnto you: Ye are come vnto the hyll of the Amorytes, whiche the Lorde oure God wyll gyue vnto vs.

Beholde the Lorde thy God hath set the [unspec D] lande before the: go vp, and conquere it, as the lorde god of thy fathers hath sayde vnto the, * 1.7 feare not, neyther be discouraged. But ye came vnto me euery one and sayde: * 1.8 We wyll sende men before vs, to searche vs oute the lande, and to brynge vs worde agayne, what way we must go vp by, and vnto what cityes we shall come. And the saynge pleased me well, and I toke .xii. men of you, of euery trybe one, whiche departed, and went vp into the hye countrey, & came vnto the ryuer Es∣coll, and serched it out, & toke of the fruyte of the lande ❀ (to declare the plenteusnesse therof) in theyr handes, and brought it vnto vs, and brought vs worde agayn & sayd: it is a good lande, which the lorde our god doth gyue vs.

Notwithstange ye wolde not consente to go vp, but were dysobedient vnto the mouth of the Lorde your God, & murmured in your tentes, and sayd: bycause the lorde hateth vs therfore hath he brought vs out of the lande of Egypte, to delyuer vs in to the hande of the Amorites, and to destroy vs. Howe shall we go vp? Our brethren haue dyscouraged [unspec E] our herte, sayeng: * 1.9 the people is greater and taller then we, and haue cyties great & wal∣led euen vp to heuen, and more ouer we haue sene the sonnes of the Enakims there. And I sayde vnto you: drede not, nor be afrayde of them: the lorde your god which goeth before you, he shall fyght for you, accordynge to all that he dyd vnto you in Egypte before youre eyes. In the wyldernes also y^u hast sene how, that the lorde thy god bare the, euen as a mā doth beare his son, in all the waye whiche ye

haue gone by vntyll ye came vnto this place. And yet in this thynge ye dyd not byleue the Lorde your God. He went in the waye before you, to serche you out a place to pytche youre tentes in, * 1.10 in fyre by nyght, that ye myght se what way to go, and in a cloude by daye.

And the Lorde herde the voyce of youre [unspec F] wordes, and was wroth, and sware, sayenge. * 1.11 There shall not one of these men and of this frowarde generacion se that good lande whiche I sware to gyue vnto your fathers, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, he shall se it * 1.12 and to hym wyl I gyue the lande that he hath troden vpon, & to his chyldren, bycause be hath folowed the Lorde, ❀ (VVonderfull vvas that indignacion agaynst the people, seyng that) * 1.13 the Lorde was angrye with me lyke∣wyse for your sakes, sayenge: thou also shalt not go in thyther. But Iosua the son of Nun whiche standeth before the, he shal go in thy∣ther. Bolden hym therfore, for he shall cause Israel to enheryte the lande. * 1.14 Moreouer your chyldrē, whiche ye sayd shulde be a pray and your sonnes whiche in that daye had no knowledge bytwene good & euyll, they shall go in thyther, and vnto them wyll I gyue it, and they shall enioy it. But as for you, turne your faces, and take youre iourney in to the wyldernesse: euen by the way of the red see. Then ye answered and sayd vnto me.

* 1.15 We haue synned agaynst the Lorde: we wyll go vp and fyght, accordynge to all that [unspec G] the Lorde our god cōmaunded vs. And whē ye had gyrde on euery man his weapons of warre: beholde, ye were redy to go vp in to the hyll. And the Lorde sayde vnto me: saye vnto them, that they go not vp, and that they fyght not, for I am not among you: leest ye fall before your enemyes. I tolde you ther∣fore, and ye wolde not heare, but dysobeyed the mouth of the Lorde, and wen•• presumptu¦ously vp in to the hyll.

And the Amorites which dwelt in that hyl came out agaynst you, & chased you (as bees vse to do) and smote you in Scir, euen vnto Horma. And ye came agayne, & wepte before the lorde: but the lorde wolde not heare your voyce, nor gyue you audience. * 1.16 And so ye a∣bode ☞ in Cades a long ceason, accordynge to the tyme that ye remayned in other plac{is}.

That which was •• one frō the tyme they departed frō Cades b••••ne, vnto the battayle agaynst the kynges Sehon, and Og.

CAPI. II.

THen we * 1.17 turned our face, and toke our [unspec A] iourney in to the wyldernesse, euen by the way of the red see, as the lorde spake vnto me. And we compassed mounte Seir a longe tyme. And the Lorde spake vnto me, saynge.

Ye haue compassed this mountayne longe ynough, turne you northwarde. And warne thou the people, sayenge: Ye shall go thorow the coost of your brethren the chyldren of E∣sau, whiche dwell in Seir, and they shall be afrayde of you: take ye good hede vnto your selues therfore. Ye shall not prouoke them, for I wyl not gyue you of theyr lande, no not so moche as a fote bredth, * 1.18 bycause I haue gyuen mounte Seir vnto Esau, to possesse. Ye shal bye meate of them for money to eate / and ye shall procure water of them for money to drynke. For the lorde thy God hath blessed the, in all the workes of thy hande.

He knewe thy entrynge in to this great [unspec B] wyldernesse this. xl. yeres, and the Lorde thy god hath bene with the, so that thou hast lac∣ked nothynge. And when we were departed from our brethren the chyldrē of Esau which dwelte in Seir, the playne way from Elath & from Ez••on Gaber, we turned and went by the way of the wyldernesse of Moab. And the lorde sayd vnto me: * 1.19 Thou shalte nor fyght agaynst the Moabit{is}, neyther prouoke them to battayle, for I wyll not gyue the of theyr lande to possesse: bycause I haue gyuen At, vnto the chyldren of Loth to possesse. The terrible people the * 1.20 Emims dwelte therin in tymes past, a people great, many, and tall, as the Enakims: whiche also were taken for gy∣auntes as the Enakims: whom the Moabi∣tes call Emyms. The Horims dwelt in Seir before tyme, whose possessyon the chyldren of [unspec C] Esau occupied, & destroyed them before them and dwelte in theyr steade: as Israel dyd vn∣to the lande of his possessyon, which the lorde gaue them. Nowe ryse vp (sayde I) and get you ouer the ryuer Zared: and we went ouer the ryuer zared. The space in which we came from Cades barne vntyl we were come ouer the ryuer Zared, was .xxxviii. yeres: vntyll al the generacyon of the men of warre were wa¦sted out from among the hoost, as the Lorde sware vnto them. * 1.21 For in dede the hande of the Lorde was agaynst them, to destroy them frō among the hoost, tyll they were cōsumed.

And so it came to passe, that all the men of warre were consumed and dead from among [unspec D] the people. And the lorde spake vnto me, say∣enge. Thou shalte go thorowe Ar the coost of Moab this day: and when thou comest nygh vnto the chyldren of Ammon, thou shalte not lay syege vnto them, nor moue war agaynst them. For I wyl not gyue the of the lande of the childrē of Ammon a possessiō, but I haue gyuen it vnto the chyldrē of Loth to possesse.

That also is taken for a lande of gyauntes, and gyauntes dwelte therin an olde tyme, whom the Ammonites call Zanzumims. * 1.22 A people that was great, many, and tall, as the Enakims. But the Lorde destroyed them be∣fore them, and they succeded them in the en∣herytaunce, & dwelt in theyr steade: as he dyd for the Chyldren of * 1.23 Esau, whiche dwell in Seir: when he destroyed the Horyms before them, they conquered theyr possessyon, and dwelte in theyr steade vnto this day. And the Auims which dwelte in Hazatim euen vnto Aza, the Caphthorims whiche came out of Caphthor destroyed them, and dwelte in thyr steade.

Ryse ye vp therfore, & take your iourney [unspec E] ouer the ryuer Arnon. Beholde, * 1.24 I haue gyuen in to thy hande Sehon the Amorite, kyng of Hesbon, and his lande. Go to ther∣fore and conquete, and prouoke hym to vat∣tayle. This daye wyll I begyn to sende the, feare and drede of the, vpon all nacyons that are vnder all the heuen: so that they whiche heare speake of the, shall tremble and quake before the. And so he sent messengers out of the wyldernesse of Kedemoth, vnto Sehon kyng of Hesbon with word{is} of peace, saynge:

* 1.25 I wyll go thorowe thy lande. I wyll go along vy the hye waye. I wyll neyther turne [unspec F] vnto the ryght hande, nor to the lefte. Thou shalte sell me meate for money for to eate, & gyue me water for money for to drynke: On∣ly graunt me, that I may go thorowe on my fote (as the chyldren of Esau whiche dwel in Seir, and the Moabites whiche dwell in Ar, dyd vnto me) vntyll I be come ouer Iordan, in to the lande whiche the Lorde our god gy∣ueth vs. But Sehon the kynge of Hesbon / wolde not let vs passe by hym, for the Lorde thy god hardened his spirite, & made his hert tough, bycause he wold delyuer hym into thy hande, as it is come to passe this day. And the lorde sayd vnto me, beholde, I haue begon to set Sehon and his land before the: go to, and conquere, and possesse his lande. [unspec G]

* 1.26 Then bothe Sehon, and all his people came out agaynst vs to fyght at Iaza. And the lorde set him before vs, and we smote him and his sonnes, and all his people. And we toke all his cityes the same ceason, and slewe the men, women, & chyldren of all the ctiyes, and lette nothynge remayne, saue the cattell onely we caught to our selues, and the spoyle of the cyties whiche we toke frō Aroer, which is by the brynke of the ryuer of Arnon, and from the citye that is in the ryuer, vnto Gi∣lead; there was not one cytie to strong for vs The Lorde our God delyuered all vnto vs: onely vnto the lande of the chyldren of Am∣mon thou camest not, nor vnto euery place of the ryuer Iabocke, nor vnto the cyties in the mountaynes, nor vnto what soeuer the Lorde our god forbad vs.

CAPI. III

THen we turned and went vp the way to [unspec A] Basan. * 1.27 And Og the kyng of Basan came out agaynst vs: he and al his peo¦ple to battayle at Edrai. And the Lorde sayd vnto me: Feare hym not, for I wyll delyuer hym, and all his people & his lande in to thy hande, and thou shalte do vnto hym, as thou dydest vnto Sehon kynge of the Amorites, whiche dwelte at Hesbon. And so the Lorde our god delyuered into our handes. Og also the kyng of Basan and all his folke. And we smote hym, vntyl none was lefte hym alyue.

And we toke all his cyties the same ceason (neyther was there a cytie which we toke not from them) euen thre score cyties thorowout all the region of Argob, the kyngdom of Og in Basan. All these Cytyes also were made stronge with hye walles, gates and barres, besyde vnwalled townes a great meanye.

And we vtterly destroyed them, as we dyd vnto Sehon kynge of Hesbon, bryngyng to nought all the cyties, with men, women and chyldren. But all the cattell and the spoyle of the cyties, we caught for our selues.

And thus we toke the same ceason, out of [unspec B] the hande of two kyng{is} of the Amorites, the lande that was on the other syde Iordan frō the ryuer of Arnon vnto mounte Hermon, (whiche Hermon the Sidons call Sirion, & the Amorites call it Senyr) al the cyties that lay in the playne, and all Gilead and all Ba∣san vnto Salecha and Adrat, Cyties of the kyngdome of Og in Basan. For onely Og kyng of Basan remayned of the remenaunt of the gyaunt{is}, whose bed was a bed of yron. And is it not yet at Rabah amonge the chyl∣dren of Ammon? ix. cubites doth the lengthe therof conteyne, and foure cubites the bredth of it, after the cubite of a man. And so we con¦quered this lande the same tyme, from Aroer whiche is by the ryuer of Arnon, vnto halfe mount Gilead, * 1.28 and the cyties therof gaue I vnto the Rubenites and Gaddites.

And the rest of Gilead and all Basan of the kyngdom of Og, gaue I vnto the halfe tribe of Manasse, euen all the regyon of Argob with all Basan: whiche is called the lande of

Glauntes. Iair the sonne of Manasse toke all the regyon of Argob vnto the coostes of Gesuri and Maachati, and called them after his owne name: Basan Nauoth Iair vnto this day. And I gaue Gilead vnto Machir.

And vnto the Rubenites and Gaddites I [unspec C] gaue halfe Gilead vnto the ryuer of Arnon / halfe the valey & beyonde, euen vnto the ry∣uer Iabocke, which is the border of the chil∣dren of Ammon, the playne also (❀ of the vvyldernesse) and Iordan, & the coost therof, from Ceneroth euen vnto the see whiche is in the playne, euē the salt see vnder the sprin∣ges of the hyll, Eastwarde. * 1.29 And I cōmaun¦ded you the same tyme, sayenge: the Lordē youre GOD hath gyuen you this lande to enioye it: ye shall go harnessed before youre brethren the Chyldren of Israell, all that are mete for the warre. Your wyues onely, your chyldren, and your cattell (for I wote that ye haue moche cattell) shal abyde in your cityes whiche I haue gyuen you, vntyll the Lorde haue gyuen rest vnto youre brethren as well as vnto you, and vntyll they also haue con∣quered the lande, whiche the lorde your god hath gyuen them beyonde Iordan: and then shall ye returne agayne, euery man vnto his possession whiche I haue gyuen you.

* 1.30 And I warned Iosua the same tyme, saynge: thyne eyes haue sene al that the lorde [unspec D] your god hath done vnto these two kynges / euen so shal he do vnto all kyngdomes why∣ther thou goest: Ye shall not feare them, for the Lorde your god, he shall fyght for you. And I besought the Lorde the same tyme / sayenge: O Lorde God, thou hast begonne to shew thy seruaunt thy greatnesse, and thy myghtye hand, for els where is there a God in heuen or in earth, that can do after thy work{is}, and after thy power? Let me go ouer & se the good lande that is beyonde Iordan, that goodly ☞ moūtayne, & Libanon. * 1.31 But the lorde was angrye w^t me for your sakes, & wolde not heare me. And the lorde sayd vnto me: be content, speake no more vnto me of this matter. * 1.32 Get the vp into the toppe of the hyll, and lyfte vp thyne eyes westwarde, northwarde, southwarde, & Eastwarde, & be∣holde it with thine eyes, for thou shalt not go ouer this Iordan. But charge Iosua, & cou∣rage hym, & bolden hym. * 1.33 For he shall go be¦fore this people, & he shall deuyde vnto them the lande whiche y^u shalt se. And so we abode in the valey ouer agaynst the house of Peor.

AND nowe herken O Israell vnto the [unspec A] ordinaunces, and lawes which I teach you, for to do them, that so ye may lyue, and go in and conquere the lande, which the Lorde God of your fathers gyueth you. * 1.34 Ye shall put nothynge vnto the worde whiche I cōmaunde you, neyther do ought therfrom / that ye maye kepe the commaundementes of the lorde your God, which I cōmaunde you. Your eyes haue sene what the Lorde dyd vn¦to Baall Peor, * 1.35 for all the men that folowed Baall Peor, the Lorde youre God hath de∣stroyed from amonge you. But ye that cleue vnto the Lorde youre God, are alyue euery one of you this day. Beholde I haue taught you ordynaunces, and lawes, suche as the Lorde my god cōmaunded me, that ye shuld do euen so in the lande, whyther ye go to pos∣sesse it. Kepe them therfore, and do them, for that is your wysdome, and vnderstandynge in the syght of the nacyons: that they maye heare all these ordinaunces, and say: Surely it is a wyse and vnderstandynge people: it is a great nacyon.

For what other nacyon is so greate, that [unspec B] goddes come so nye vnto, as the Lorde oure God is nye vnto vs, in all thynges * 1.36 as ofte as we cal vnto him? Yea, and what nacion is so greate that hath ordynaunces, and lawes so ryghteous, as all this lawe whiche I sette before you this daye? Take hede to thy selfe therfore, and kepe thy soule dilygently, that thou forget not the thynges, whiche thyne eyes haue sene, and that they departe not out of thyne herte, all the dayes of thy lyfe: but * 1.37 teache them thy Sonnes, and thy sonnes sonnes: Specially the daye that thou stodest before the Lorde thy god in Horeb, when the Lorde sayd vnto me: gather me the people to gyther, & I wyll make them heare my word{is} that they may lerne to feare me all the dayes that they shall lyue vpon the earth / * 1.38 & that they maye teache theyr chyldren: ye came * 1.39 & stode also vnder the hyll, and the hyll burnte with fyre: euen vnto the myddes of heuen, and there was darkenesse / clowdes, & myst. And the lorde spake vnto you out of the myd¦dest of the fyre, and ye herde the voyce of the wordes * 1.40 but sawe no ymage / saue ye herde a voyce onely. And he declared vnto you his couenaunt, whiche he commaunded you to do, euen. x. verses, whiche he wrote vpon two tables of stoone. And the Lorde cōmaunded me that same ceason, that I shuld teach you ordinaunces, and lawes, whiche ye ought to do in the lande whyther ye go to possesse it.

☞ Take therfore good hede vnto your selues as perteynynge vnto your soules, for [unspec C] ye sawe no maner of ymage in the daye that the lorde spake vnto you in Horeb, out of the myddes of the fyre: leest ye mar youre selues, and make you a grauen ymage and pycture of any maner of figure: the lykenesse of man or woman, the lykenes of any maner of beast that is on the earth, or the lykenesse of anye maner fethered foule that flyeth in the ayre, or the lykenes of any maner worme, that cre∣yeth on the earth, or the lykenesse of any ma∣ner fysh that is in the waters beneth the erth * 1.41 Yea and leest thou lyft vp thyne eyes vnto heuen and when thou seyst the Sonne, the moone, and the starres, with all the hoost of heuen, shuldest be desceyued, and shuldest worshyp, and serue the thynges, whiche the lorde * 1.42 thy god hath made to serue all nacy∣ons vnder the hoole heuen. But the Lorde hath taken you, and brought you out of the yron fournace: euen out of Egypt, to be vnto hym a people, and enherytaunce, as ye are this daye. Furthermore, the Lorde was an∣grye with me for youre wordes, and sware / that I shulde not go ouer Iordan, and that I shulde not go in vnto that good lande, whiche the lorde thy god gyueth the to enhe∣rytaunce. * 1.43 But I must dye in this lande, & shall not go ouer Iordan. But ye shall go ouer, and conquere that good lande.

Take hede vnto youreselues, that ye for∣get [unspec D] not the apoyntment of the ••ord your god whiche he made with you, and that ye make you no grauen Image, or any pycture, that the Lorde thy God hath forbydden the. * 1.44 For the Lorde thy God is a consumyng fyre / and a ielouse God. Yf thou doest beget chyldren, and Chyldrens Chyldren, and when ye haue dwelt in the lande, ye do wyckedly, and make any maner of grauen * 1.45 ymage, and worke euyll in the syght of the Lorde ☞ thy god, to prouoke hym to anger, I call heuen & earth to recorde agaynst you this daye, that ye shal shortly peryshe from of the lande, whyther ye go ouer Iordan to possesse it: ye shal not pro∣longe your dayes therin, but shall vtterly be destroyed. And the Lorde shall scatter you a∣monge the nacyons, and ye shal be lefte fewe in nombre amonge the people, whyther the lord shall brynge you: and there ye shal serue Goddes, whiche are the worke of mannes hande, wood, and stoone, whiche neyther se / nor heare, nor eate, nor smell.

* 1.46 And there thou shalte seke the lorde thy [unspec E] God, and shalte fynde hym, yf thou seke him with all thyne herte, and with all thy soule. When thou art in tribulacyon, and when al these thynges (that be here spoken of) are come vpon the: euen in the latter dayes, thou shalte returne agayne to the Lorde thy God, & be obedyent vnto his voyce. For the Lorde thy god is a merciful god: he wyl not forsake the, neyther destroye the * 1.47 nor forget the a∣poyntement of thy fathers, whiche he sware vnto them. For aske of the dayes that are past, whiche were before the, synce the daye that God created man vpon the earth, and (aske) from the one syde of heuen vnto the other, yf euer there came to passe such a great thyng, or whyther any suche lyke thyng hath ben herde. Dyd euer a nacyō heare the voyce of God speakynge out of the myddes of a fyre, as thou hast herde, and yet lyued? eyther whyther God assayed to go, and take hym a people from amonge nacions thorow temp∣tacyons, Sygnes, Wonders, war, a mygh∣tye hande, a * 1.48 stretched out arme, and thorow great visions, accordynge vnto all that the Lorde your God dyd vnto you in Egypt be∣fore your eyes? Nnto the it was shewed, that thou myghtest knowe, howe that the Lorde he is GOD, and that there is noone other but he.

* 1.49 Out of heuen he made the heare his [unspec F] voyce, that he myght nurtour the, and vpon earth he shewed the his greate fyre, and thou herdest his wordes out of the myddes of the fyre. And bycause he loued thy Fathers, he chose theyr seede after them, and brought the out ☞ in his syght, and with his myghtye power out of * 1.50 Egypte: to thrust out nacy∣ons greate and myghtyer then thou / before the, and to brynge the in, & to gyue the theyr lande to enherytaunce: as it is come to passe this daye. Understande therfore this daye / and turne it to thyne herte, that the Lorde he is God in heuen aboue, and vpon the erth beneth: neyther is there any other. Thou shalte kepe therfore his ordynaunces, & his commaundementes whiche I cōmaunde the this daye, that it maye go well with the, and with thy Chyldren after the, and that thou mayst prolonge thy dayes vppon the earth, whiche the Lorde thy GOD gyueth the thy lyfe longe.

* 1.51 Then Moses seuered thre cityes on the other syde Iordan towarde the Sonne ry∣synge, [unspec G] that he shulde flee thyther, which had kylled his neyghboure vnwares, and hated hym not in tyme past, and therfore shuld flee vnto one of the same cites, and lyue: Name∣ly, Bezer in the wyldernes, euen in the playn countrey of the tribe of Ruben: and Ramoth

in Gylead of the Trybe of Gad, and Golan in Basan of the Trybe of Manasse. And so this is the lawe whiche Moses set before the Chyldren of Israell: These are the wytnes∣ses / statutes / and ordinaunces, whiche Mo∣ses tolde the Chyldren of Israell, after they came out of Egypte, on the other syde Ior∣dane, in the valey ouer agaynst the house of Peor, in the lande of Sehon kynge of the A∣morytes whiche dwelte at Hesbon: whome Moses and the Chyldren of Israell * 1.52 smote / after they were come out of Egypt, and con∣quered his lande, and the lande of Og kyng of Basan, two kyng{is} of the Amorites, which were on the other syde Iordan towarde the sonne rysynge: from Aroer whiche is by the banke of the ryuer Arnon, vnto ☞ Mounte Sion whiche is Hermon, and all the playne on the other syde Iordane Eastwarde: euen vnto the see, whiche is in the playne vnder the sprynges of the hyll.

ANd Moses called all Israell, and sayd [unspec A] vnto them: Heare O Israell the ordy∣naunces, and lawes whiche I speake in youre eares this daye, that ye maye lerne them, and fulfyll them in dede. The Lorde oure God made an apoyntment with vs in Horeb. The lorde made not this bonde with our fathers, but with vs: euē with vs / which are all here alyue this daye. The Lorde tal∣ked with you ☞ face to face in the mounte / out of the myddes of the fyre. And I stoode bytwene the Lorde and you the same tyme / and shewed you the worde of the Lorde. For ye were afrayed at the syght of the fyre / and went not vp in to the mounte, and he sayde: * 1.53 I am the Lorde thy God, whiche brought the out of the lande of Egypt from the house of bondage. Thou shalte haue noone other Goddes in my presence.

* 1.54 Thou shalt make the no grauen ymage of any maner of lykenesse that is in heuen a∣boue, and that is in earth beneth, & that is in the waters beneth the earth. Thou shalt ney¦ther bow thy selfe vnto them, nor serue them: for I the Lorde thy God, am a ielouse God, visityng the wyckednesse of the fathers vpō the Chyldren, euen in the thyrde, and fourth generacion, amonge them that hate me: and shewe mercye vpon thousand{is}, among them that loue me, and kepe my cōmaundement{is}.

* 1.55 Thou shalte not take the name of the Lorde thy god in vayne: for ❀ the Lorde wyl not holde hym giltlesse, that taketh his name in vayne. Kepe the Sabboth daye, that thou sanctifye it, as the Lorde thy God hath com∣maunded the.

* 1.56 Syxe dayes thou shalte laboure, and [unspec B] do all that thou hast to do, but the * 1.57 seuenth daye is the Sabboth of the Lorde thy God: thou shalte not do any worke, thou and thy Sonne, thy doughter, thy seruaunt, and thy mayde, thyne oxe, and thyne asse, and all thy cattell, and the straunger that is within thy gates, that thy seruaunt, & thy mayde maye reest as well as thou. Remembre, that thou wast a seruaunt in the lande of Egypte / and howe that the lorde thy God brought the out thence thorowe * 1.58 a myghtye hande / and a stretched out arme. For whiche cause the Lorde thy God commaunded the, to kepe the Sabboth daye.

* 1.59 Honoure thy father, and thy mother, as the Lorde thy god hath cōmaunded the: that thy dayes maye be prolonged, & that it maye go well with the in the lande, which the lorde thy God gyueth the.

* Thou shalte not sley.

* 1.60 Thou shall not breake wedlocke.

* Thou shalte not steale.

* Thou shalte not beare false wytnesse a∣gaynst thy neyghboure.

* 1.61 Thou shalte not luste after thy neygh∣bours wyfe: thou shalt not couet thy neygh∣bours house, his felde / his seruaunt, or his mayde, his Oxe, his Asse / or ought that thy neyghbour hath. These wordes the Lorde spake vnto all your multytude in the mount out of the myddes of the fyre, cloude, & dark∣nesse, with a great voyce, and added nomore* 1.62 therto, & wrote them in two tables of stoone / and delyuered them vnto me.

And it fortuned / that when ye herde the [unspec C] voyce out of the myddes of the darkenesse / & sawe that the hyll dyd burne w^t fyre, ye came vnto me with the captaynes of your trybes / and youre Elders, and ye sayde: beholde / the Lorde our God hathe shewed vs his glorye, and his greatnesse, and * 1.63 we haue herde his voyce out of the mydd{is} of the fyre: We haue sene this daye, that God doeth talke with a man, and he yet lyueth. Nowe therfore why shulde we dye, that this great fyre shulde con¦sume vs? Yf we heare the voyce of the Lorde our God any more, we shall dye. For ☞ what flesshe hath it ben, that euer herde the voyce of the lyuyng god speakyng out of the myd∣des of the fyre (as we haue done) and yet dyd lyue? Go thou and heare all that the Lorde our God sayeth, & tell thou vnto vs all that the Lorde our God sayeth vnto the * 1.64 and we wyll heare it, and do it.

And the Lorde herde the voyce of youre [unspec D] word{is} when ye speake vnto me, and the lorde sayd vnto me: I haue herde the voyce of the word{is} of this people, which they haue spoken vnto the, they haue well sayde all that they haue spoken. * 1.65 Oh that there were suche an herte in them that they wolde feare me, and kepe all my cōmaundementes all waye, that it myght go well with them, and with theyr Chyldren for euer. Go, and saye vnto them: get you in to your tentes agayne, but stande thou here by me, and I wyll tell the, all the cōmaundementes, ordynaunces, and lawes, which thou shalt teache them, that they may do them in the lande, whiche I gyue them to possesse. Take hede therfore, that ye do in dede as the LORDE your God hath com∣maunded you, and * 1.66 turne not asyde: eyther to the ryght hande, or to the lefte: but walke in all the wayes whiche the Lorde your God hath commaunded you, that ye maye lyue / and that it maye go well with you, and that ye maye prolonge youre dayes, in the lande whiche ye shall possesse.

¶ The lawe of God may not be forgotten.

CAPI. VI.

THese are the commaundementes, ordi∣naunces, [unspec A] and lawes, whiche the Lorde your God commaunded me to teache you, that ye myght do them in the lande why ther ye go to possesse it: namely, that thou myghtest * 1.67 feare the Lorde thy God, & kepe all his ordynaunces, and his commaunde∣mentes whiche I commaunde the: thou and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne all dayes of thy lyfe, that thy dayes maye be prolonged. Heare therfore, O Israel, and take hede, that thou do therafter, that it maye go well with the, & that ye maye encrease myghtely, euen as the Lorde God of thy Fathers hath pro∣mysed the a lande, that floweth with mylke, and hony.

* 1.68 Heare O Israell, the Lorde our God is Lorde only, and ‡ 1.69 thou shalt loue the Lorde thy God with al thyne herte, and with al thy [unspec B] soule, and with all thy myght. * 1.70 And these wordes whiche I commaunde the this day / shall be in thyne herte, and thou shalt shewe them vnto thy Chyldren, and shalte talke of them when thou art at home in thyne house / and as thou walkest by the waye, and when thou lyest downe, and when thou rysest vp: and thou shalt bynde them for a sygne vpon thyne hande. And they shall be warnynges bytwene thyne eyes & thou shalte wryte them vpon the poostes of thy house, and vpon thy gates. And when the Lorde thy God hath brought the into the lande / whiche he sware vnto thy fathers, Abrahā, Isaac, and Iacob, and gyueth the great & goodly cityes whiche thou buyldest not, houses ful of all maner of goodes whiche thou fylledst not, and welles dygged which thou dyggest not, vyneyeard{is} and olyue trees whiche thou plantedst not, & whē thou hast eaten & arte ful: Then beware leest thou forget the Lorde, whiche brought the out of the lande of Egypt from the house of bondage.

* 1.71 Thou shalt feare the lorde thy god, and [unspec C] serue hym, and ☞ sweare by his name. Se that ye walke not after straunge goddes: the goddes of the nacions which are about you. For the Lorde thy God, is a ielouse God a¦monge you, lest the coūtenaunce of the lorde thy God be moued to wrath agaynst the, and destroye the from of the earth. * 1.72 Ye shall not tempte the Lorde youre God as ye dyd ❀ in the temptacion. But kepe the commaunde∣mentes of the Lorde your God, and his wyt∣nesses, and his ordynaunces whiche he hath cōmaunded the, & thou shalte do that whiche is ryght and good in the syght of the Lorde: that thou mayst prospere, & that thou mayst go in, and conquere that good lande, whiche the Lorde sware vnto thy fathers to cast out all thyne enemyes before the, as the Lorde hath sayde.

* 1.73 And when thy son asketh the in tyme to [unspec D] come, sayenge: What meaneth these wytnes∣ses, ordinaunces, and lawes, which the lorde our God hath cōmaunded you? Then thou shalte say vnto thy son: We were Pharaos bondmen in Egypte, & the lorde brought vs out of Egypt with a myghty hande. And the Lorde shewed sygnes, & wondres greate and euyll vpon Egypt▪ vpon Pharao, & vpon all his housholde, before our eyes, but brought vs out from thence: to brynge vs in, and to gyue vs the lande whiche he sware vnto our fathers. And the Lorde hath cōmaunded vs to do all these ordynaunces, and to feare the Lorde our god, for our welth all the dayes of our lyfe, as it is come to passe this daye. Moreouer this shall be our ryghtousnesse be¦fore the Lorde our god, yf we take hede, and kepe all these cōmaundementes, as he hath cōmaunded vs.

CAPI. VII.

WHen the Lorde thy God hath brought [unspec A] the into the lande whyther thou goest to possesse it, and hath cast out many nacions

before the: namely, the Hethites, the Gerge∣sites, the Amorites, the Cananites, the Phe∣resites, the Heuytes & the Iebusytes. vii. na∣cions greater, and myghtyer then thou * 1.74 and when the Lorde thy god hath set them before the, thou shalt smyte them, & vtterly destroye them, & make no couenaunte with them / nor haue cōpassion on them. Thou shalte make no maryages with them, neyther gyue thy doughter vnto his son, nor take his dough∣ter vnto thy son. For they wyll dysceyue thy son, that he shulde not feare me, & they shall serue straūge godd{is}, & then wyll the wrath of the lorde waxe hoote agaynst you, & destroye you shortly. But thus ye shall deale w^t them: * 1.75 Ye shall ouerthrowe theyr aulters, & breake downe theyr pillers, cut downe theyr groues & burne theyr grauen ymages w^t fyre. * 1.76 For thou arte an holy nacyon vnto the Lorde thy God: * 1.77 the Lorde thy God hath chosen the, to be a seuerall people vnto hym selfe, aboue all nacyons that are vpon the earth. It was not bycause of the multitude of you aboue al na∣cions, that the lord had lust vnto you & chose you, seynge ye were fewest of all nacions.

But bycause the lorde loued you, and by∣cause [unspec B] he wolde kepe the * 1.78 othe whiche he had sworne vnto youre fathers, therfore hath the Lorde brought you out thorowe a myghtye hande, and delyuered you out of the house of bondage: euen from the hande of Pharao kynge of Egypt. Understande therfore, that the lorde thy god he is god, & that a true god * 1.79 whiche kepeth poyntment and mercy vnto them that loue hym & kepe his cōmaūdemen¦tes, euen thorowout a thousande generacy∣ons: and rewardeth them that hate ☞ hym before his face, so that he bryngeth them to nought, & doth not defar the tyme, but rewar¦deth hym that hateth hym, before his face. Kepe thou therfore the cōmaundementes / & ordinaunces & lawes, which I cōmaund the this day that thou do them. * 1.80 Yf ye herkē vn¦to these lawes, & obserue & do them, the lorde thy god also shal kepe to the, the poyntment, & the mercy which he sware vnto thy fathers. He wyll loue the / & blesse the / and multiplye the: he wyl also blesse the fruyt of thy wombe, & the fruyte of thy lande, thy corne, thy wyne and thyne oyle, & the encrease of thyne oxen, and the flock{is} of thy shepe in the lande, which he sware vnto thy fathers to gyue the.

Thou shalt be blessed aboue all nacions: [unspec C] there shall be neyther man, nor woman, vn∣fruytfull amonge you, nor any thynge vn∣fruytfull amonge your cattel. Moreouer the lorde wyll * 1.81 take away frō the all maner infir¦mityes, and wyll put none of the euyll disea∣ses * 1.82 of Egypte (whiche thou knowest) vpon the, but wyll sende them vpon all them that hate the. Thou shalt consume al the nacions whiche the Lorde thy God shall delyuer the: thyne eye shall haue no pitye vpon them / neyther shalte thou serue theyr Goddes, for that shalbe thy decaye. If thou saye in thyne herte: these nacions are ••o then I, howe can I cast them out? * 1.83 Thou shalt not feare them but remēbre, what the lorde thy God dyd vn∣to Pharao, & vnto al Egypt: the great temp∣tacions which thyne eyes sawe, & the sygnes, and wondres, & the myghtye hande, & stret∣ched out arme, where thorowe the Lorde thy god brought the out: euen so shall the Lorde thy god do to all the nacyons, of whom thouarte afrayde. * 1.84 Moreouer, the lorde thy god wyll sende hornettes amonge them, vntyll they that are lefte (& hyde them selues frō the) be destroyed. Thou shalte not feare them, for the Lorde thy god is amonge you, a myghty god and a terrible, for the lorde thy god wyll put out these nacyons before the by a lytle, & a lytle * 1.85 thou mayst not cōsume them at once, leest the beastes of the felde encrease vpō the.

But the Lorde thy God shall gyue them [unspec D] ouer before the, and shall destroye them with a myghtye tempest, vntyll he haue brought them to nought. * 1.86 And he shall delyuer theyr kynges into thyne hande, and thou shalt de∣stroye theyr name from vnder heuen. There shall no man he able to stande before the, vn∣tyll thou haue destroyed them. The grauen ymages of theyr Goddes shalte thou burne with fyre, and * 1.87 couet not the Golde, & syluer that is on them, nor take it vnto the, lest thou be snared therin. For it is an abhominacyon before the lorde thy god. Brynge not therfore abhominacyon in to thyne house, lest thou be ☞ a dampned thyng, as it is: but vtterly de∣fye it, & abhorre it, for it is a dampned thyng.

¶ Moses putteth the Israelytes in remembraunce what God hath done to them in the wyldernesse.

CAPI. VIII.

ALl the cōmaundementes whiche I cō∣maunde [unspec A] the this daye, shall ye kepe for to do them, that ye maye lyue, and mul∣typlye, and go in, & possesse the lande which•• the lorde sware vnto your fathers. And thou shalte thynke on all the way, which the lorde thy God led the this. xl. yeare in the wylder∣nesse, for to humble the, and to proue the, and to wete what was in thyne herte, whyther thou woldest kepe his commaundementes or no. He * 1.88 humbled the, and suffered the to hungre, and fed the with Manna, whiche

neyther thou nor thy Fathers knewe of, to make the knowe, that * 1.89 a man doth not lyue by breade onely: but by euery ❀ (vvorde) that procedeth out of the mouth of the lorde / doth a man lyue. * 1.90 Thy rayment waxed not olde vpon the, neyther dyd thy fote swell these. xl. yeares. This also shalte thou consyder in [unspec B] thy herte, that as a man nurtoureth his son, euen so the Lorde thy god nurtoureth the. Therfore shalte thou kepe the commaunde∣mentes of the lorde thy god, that thou walke in his wayes, and feare hym.

For the Lorde thy God bryngeth the in to a good lande, a lande in the whiche are ry∣uers of waters, and foūtaynes, and spryng{is} that sprynge out of valeyes, & hylles: a lande wherin is wheat and barly, vyneyardes, fyg trees, and Pomgarnates: a lande wherin is oyle olyue, and honye: a lande / wherin thou shalte eate breade without scarcenesse, ney∣ther shalte thou lacke any thynge: a lande * 1.91 whose stoones are yron, and out of whose hylles thou shalte dygge brasse. When thou hast eaten therfore, and fylled thy selfe, thou [unspec C] shalte blesse the Lorde thy God in that good lande, whiche he hath gyuen the. Beware / that thou forgette not the Lorde thy God / that thou woldest not kepe his commaunde∣mentes, his lawes and ordynaunces whiche I commaunde the this day: * 1.92 yea and when thou hast eaten, and fylled thy selfe, and hast buylde goodly houses, and dwelt therin, and when thy beastes, and thy shepe are waxed many, and thy siluer and golde is multiplied and all that thou haste is encreased, then be∣ware, leest thyne herte ryse, and thou forget the lorde thy god, whiche brought the out of the lande of Egypte, and from the house of bondage, and whiche was thy guyde in the great and terrible wyldernesse (wherin were) fyryt serpentes, scorpyons, and drought with out any water.

But he brought out water for the, euen [unspec D] out of the rocke of flint: he fed the in the wyl∣dernesse with Manna, whiche thy Fathers knewe not, euen for to humble the, and to proue the, and that he myght so do the good at thy latter ende. Leest thou shuldest saye in thyne herte * 1.93 my power, and the myght of myne owne hande hath prepared me this a∣bundaūce: But remembre the lorde thy god / howe that it is he whiche gyueth the power to get substaunce, for to make good the pro∣messe whiche he sware vnto thy fathers, as this day dothe wytnesse.

And yf thou forget the lorde thy god, and walke after straūge * 1.94 goddes, and serue them and worshyp them, I testifye vnto you this daye, that ye shall surely peryshe. As the na∣cyons which the lorde destroyeth before you, euen so ye shal peryshe, bycause ye wolde not be obedient to the voyce of the lord your god.

¶ They are forbydden to trust in theyr owne strength.

CAPI. IX.

HEare O Israell, thou passest ouer Ior∣dane this day, to go in, and cōquere na∣cyons [unspec A] greater and myghtyer then thy selfe: cityes greate and walled vp to heuen, a * 1.95 people great and tall, euen the Chyldren of the Enakyms, whiche thou knowest of, and of whom thou hast herde say: who wyll stand before the Chyldren of Enake? Understande therfore this daye, that the Lorde thy god is euen he whiche goeth ouer before the as a ❀ (deuourynge) and a consumynge fyre, he shall destroye them, & he shall brynge them downe before thy face. He shal cast them out, and brynge them to nought quyckely, as the lorde hath sayde vnto the. Speake not thou in thyne herte (after that the Lorde thy God hath cast them out before the) saynge: for my ryghtousnesse the lorde hath brought me in, to possesse this lande. Naye, but for the wyc∣kednesse of these nacions the Lorde hath cast them oute before the. It is not for thy rygh∣tousnes sake, or for thy ryght herte, that thou goest to possesse theyr land. But for the wyc∣kednesse* 1.96 of these nacions, the Lorde thy god dothe caste them out before the, euen to per∣fourme the worde, whiche the Lorde thy God sware vnto thy fathers Abraham, Isaac and Iacob. Understande therfore, that it is not for thy ryghtousnes sake, that the Lorde thy god doth gyue the this good lande to possesse it, seynge thou arte a styffe necked people.

Remembre, and forget not, how thou pro∣uokedst [unspec B] the lorde thy god in the wyldernesse, synce the day that y^u dydest departe out of the land of Egipt, vntyl ye came vnto this place, ye haue rebelled agaynst the Lorde. * 1.97 Also in Noreb ye angred the Lorde, so that the lorde was wroth with you, euyn to haue destroyed you, when I was goone vp into the mounte, to receyue the tables of stoone, the tables of appoyntment, whiche the Lorde made with you. And I abode in the hyll. xl. dayes / and xl. nyghtes, when I neyther dyd eate breade nor dranke water. * 1.98 And the lorde delyuered me two tables of stone, wrytten with the fyn∣ger of god, & in them was accordynge to all the word{is} whiche the lorde sayde vnto you in the mounte out of the myddes of the fyre, in the day of the gatheryng togyther. And whē the. xl, dayes, and▪ xl. nyghtes were ended, the

lorde gaue me the two tables of stone, the ta∣bles of the couenaunt, and the Lorde sayde vnto me. * 1.99 Up and get the downe quyckly from hence, for thy people whiche thou hast brought out of Egypt, haue marred all.

They are turned atonce out of the waye / whiche I cōmaunded them, and haue made [unspec C] them a molten ymage. Furthermore, the lord spake vnto me, saynge: I haue sene this peo∣ple, and beholde, it is a styffenecked people / let me alone, that I maye destroye them, and put out the name of them from vnder heuen, and I wyll make of the a myghtye nacyon, & greater then they be. And I turned me, and came downe from the hyll (euen from the hyl that burnt with fyre) and the two Cables of the appoyntment were in my handes. And I loked, and beholde, ye had synned agaynste the lorde your god, and had made you a mol¦ten calfe, and had turned atonce out of the way which the Lorde had cōmaunded you.

* 1.100 And I toke the two tables and cast them out of my two handes, and brake them before your eyes. * 1.101 And I fell downe flat before the lorde: euen as at the fyrst tyme, and. xl. dayes and. xl. nyghtes I dyd neyther eate bread nor drynk water, bycause of all your synn{is} which ye synned, in doynge wyckedlye in the syght of the Lorde, in that ye prouoked hym vnto wrath. For I was afrayde that for the wrath and fearsnesse wherwith the Lorde was mo∣ued agaynst you, he wold haue destroyed you But the Lorde herde me at that tyme also.

The Lorde was very angrye with Aaron also, euen to haue destroyed hym: & I made intercessyon for Aaron also the same tyme.

And I toke your syn, * 1.102 the calfe which ye had made, and burnte hym with fyre, & stam∣ped [unspec D] hym / and grounde hym a good, euen vn∣to small dust. And I cast the dust therof into the broke, that descended out of the mounte.

Also at the burnynge, * 1.103 at the temptacyon / and at the Sepulchres of lust ye angred the Lorde, lykewyse whē the lorde sent you from Cades Barne, sayenge: go vp, and conquere the lande which I haue gyuen you, * 1.104 ye diso∣beyed the mouth of the Lorde your god, and neyther byleued hym, nor herkened vnto his voyce. Ye haue ben disobedient vnto the lord, synce the daye that I knewe you. And I fell downe flat before the Lorde. xl. dayes, and. xl nyghtes whiche I laye there, for the Lorde sayde, that he wolde destroy you. I made in∣tercessyon therfore vnto the Lorde, and sayd: * 1.105 O Lorde God destroye not thy people and thyne enheritaunce, which thou hast delyue∣red thorowe thy greatuesse / and whiche thou hast brought out of Egypt thorowe a mygh∣tye hande. Remembre thy seruaunt{is} Abrahā, Isaac / and Iacob, & loke not vnto the stub∣burnesse of this people, nor to theyr wycked∣nesse and synne: leest the lande whence thou broughtest them, saye: The lorde is not able to brynge them into the lande, which he pro∣mised them, and bycause he hated them, ther∣fore hath he caryed them out, to sley them in the wyldernesse. Behold, they are thy people, and thyne enheritaunce which thou brough∣test out in thy myghty power, and in thy stret¦ched out arme.

IN the same ceason the Lorde sayde vnto [unspec A] me, * 1.106 hewe the two tables of stoone lyke vnto the fyrste, and come vp vnto me in to the mounte, and make the an Arke of wood and I wyll wryte in the Cables, the wordes that were in the fyrst tables which y^u brakest / and thou shalte put them in the Arke. And I made an Arke of Sethym wood, and hewed two tables of stone * 1.107 lyke vnto the fyrst, and went vp into the moūtayne, hauyng the two tables in myne hande. And he wrote in the tables, * 1.108 accordynge to the fyrst wrytyng (the ten verses whiche the Lorde spake vnto you, in the mounte out of the myddes of the fyre / in the daye of the gatherynge togyther) and the lorde gaue them vnto me. And I depar∣ted, and came downe from the hyll, and * 1.109 put the tables in the Arke whiche I had made: and there they be, as the lorde cōmaūded me.

* 1.110 And the Chyldren of Israell toke theyr [unspec B] iourney from Beroth of the chyldren of Ia∣kan to Mosera, where * 1.111 Aaron dyed, & was buryed, and Eleazer his son became preest in his steade. From thence they departed vnto Gadgad, and from Gadgad to Iath bath a lande which hath ryuers of waters * 1.112 ☞ The same ceason the lorde seperated the trybe of Leui to beare the Arke of the appoyntment of the Lorde, and to stande before the Lorde, and to minystre vnto hym, & to blesse in his name vnto this daye. * 1.113 Wherfore the Leui∣tes haue no parte, nor enherytaunce w^t theyr brethren: But the lorde is theyr enheritaūce / as the lorde thy god hath promysed them.

* 1.114 And I taryed in the mount, euen as at the fyrst tyme. xl. dayes &. xl. nyghtes, and the [unspec C] lord herkened vnto me at that tyme also, and the lorde wolde not destroy the. And the lorde sayde vnto me: vp, & go forth in the iourneys before the people, that they may go in, & con∣quere the lande which I sware vnto theyr fa∣thers,

Be∣holde, heuē & the heuen of heuens is the lord{is} thy god, and the earth with all that therin is: Notwithstandyng, the lorde had a lust vnto thy fathers to loue them, and chose theyr seed after them, euen you, aboue all nacyons, as thou seest this day. * 1.117 Circumcise therfore the [unspec D] foreskyn of your herte, & be no more styfnec∣ked: For the lorde your god, is god of godd{is} / and lorde of lordes, a great God, a myghtye, and a terrible, * 1.118 whiche regardeth no mans person / nor taketh gyfte: He doeth ryght vn∣to the fatherlesse, & wydowe, and loueth the straunger, to gyue hym fode, and rayment. * 1.119 Loue ye therfore the straunger also: for ye were straungers youre selues in the lande of Egypte. * 1.120 Thou shalte feare the Lorde thy god, & hym (onely) shalte thou serue, to hym shalt thou cleue, and ☞ sweare by his name, he is thy prayse and thy god, that hath doone for the these great & terrible thynges, whiche thyne eyes haue sene.

Call to youre mynde this daye that which youre chyldren haue neyther knowen nor sene: euen the nurtour of the Lorde your god, his greatnesse, his myghtye hande, and his stretched out arme: his miracles, and his actes which he dyd in the myddes of Egypt, euen vnto Pharao the kyng of Egypte, and vnto all his lande: and what he dyd vnto the hoost of Egypt, vnto theyr horses, and cha∣rettes, * 1.123 how he brought the water of the red see vpon them, as they chased you behynde, and howe the Lorde hathe brought them to nought vnto this daye: & what he dyd vnto you in the wyldernesse, vntyll ye came vnto this place: & what he dyd vnto * 1.124 Dathan, and Abiram the sonn{is} of Eliab the son of Ruben howe the earth opened her mouth, and swa∣lowed them, with theyr housholdes, & theyr tentes, and all theyr substaunce that was in theyr possessyon, in the myddes of Israell.

Doutles your eyes haue sene al the great [unspec B] actes of the lord which he dyd. Therfore shal ye kepe all the cōmaundementes, whiche I cōmaūde you this day, that ye may be strong and go in, & conquere the lande, whyther ye go to possesse it, & that ye may prolonge your dayes in the lande / which the lorde sware vn to your fathers, to gyue vnto them & to theyr seed, a lande that floweth w^t mylke & honye. * 1.125 For the lande whyther y^u goest to possesse it, is not as the land of Egypt that ye came out of, where thou sowedst thy seede ☞ and wa∣teredst it w^t thy feete, as a garden of herbes: but the lande whyther ye go ouer to possesse it, is a lande that hath hylles & valeyes, and drynketh water of the rayne of heuen. This lande doth the lorde thy god care for, and the eyes of the lorde thy God are alwayes vpon it, from the begynnyng of the yeare, vnto the ende of the yeare. Yf ye shall herken therfore vnto my cōmaundementes, whiche I com∣maunde you this daye, that ye loue the lorde your God, & serue hym with all your herte / & with all your soule. * 1.126 I also wyll gyue rayne vnto your land in due ceason: the fyrst rayne and the latter, that thou mayst gather in thy corne, thy wine, & thyne oyle. And I wyl send grasse in thy feldes for thy cattell: that thou mayest eate, and fyll thy selfe. But beware that youre herte deceyue you not, & ye turne asyde, and serue straunge Goddes, and wor∣shyp them, and then the lorde beynge wrothe agaynst you, * 1.127 shut vp the heuen, that there be no rayne, and that youre lande yelde not her fruyte, and leest ye peryshe quyckly from of the good land, which the lorde gyueth you

Therfore shal ye put vp these my wordes [unspec C] in * 1.128 your herte, and in your soule, and bynde them for a sygne vpon your hande, that they maye be as a warnynge bytwene your eyes, and ye shall * 1.129 teache them your chyldren that they maye talke of them, when thou syttest in thyne house, and when thou walkest by the waye: when thou lyest downe, and when thou rysest vp: yea and thou shalt wryte them vpō the dore postes of thyne house, and vpon thy gates, that your dayes may be multiplyed, & the dayes of your chyldren, in the land which the Lorde sware vnto youre fathers to gyue them, as longe as the dayes of heuen last vpon the earth. For ✚ yf ye kepe all these cō∣maundementes, which I cōmaunde you, so that ye do them: Namely: that ye loue the lorde your God, and walke in all his wayes, and cleue vnto hym. Then wyl the lorde cast out all these nacyons before you, & ye shal be the heyres of greate nacyons, & of them that

are myghtyet then your selues. * 1.130 All the pla∣ces wheron the sooles of your fete shal treade shalbe yours, euen from the wyldernes, and from Libanon, and from the ryuer Euphra∣tes, euen vnto the vttermost see, shall youre coost be. There shal no man be able to stand before you: for the Lorde your God shall cast the feare and drede of you, vpon all the lande that ye shall treade vpon, as he hath sayde vnto you. ⊢

* 1.131 Beholde, I set before you this day, a bles∣syng [unspec D] & a curse, * 1.132 a blessyng: yf ye obey the cō∣maundementes of the lorde your god, which I cōmaunde you this day. And a curse: yf ye wyll not obey the cōmaūdement{is} of the lorde your god, but turne out of the way, whiche I cōmaunde you this day, to go after straunge goddes, whiche ye haue not knowen.

When the Lorde thy God therfore hathe brought the in to the lande, whyther y^u goest to possesse it, thou shalte put the * 1.133 blessynge vpon mounte Garizim, and the curse vpon mount Ebal, which (mountaynes) are on the other syde Iordane, on the backe syde of the way towarde the goynge downe of the sonne in the lande of the Cananites, whiche dwell in the playne ouer agaynst Gilgal besyde the groue of Moreh. For ye shall passe ouer Ior∣dane, to go in, and possesse the lande, whiche the lorde your god gyueth you, & ye shall con quere it, and dwel therin. Take hede therfore that ye do all the cōmaundementes & lawes, whiche I set before you this day.

¶ Idolatrye must the Israelites destroye and flee from. They must onely do that thynge, which god cōmaundeth.

CAPI. XII.

THese are the ordinaūces & lawes which [unspec A] ye shal obserue & do in the lande, which the lorde God of thy fathers gyueth the to possesse it, as longe as ye lyue vpon the earth. * 1.134 Ye shal destroy all places wherin the nacions which ye shal conquere serued theyr goddes, vpon hye mountaynes, on hylles, & vnder euery thycke tree. Ouerthrowe theyr aulters, and breake theyr pyllers, and burne theyr groues with fyre, and hewe downe the grauen ymages of the godd{is} that they haue, and bryng the names of them to nought out of that place. ☞ Ye shall not do so vnto the Lorde your God, but ye shall seke the place, whiche the lorde your God shall haue chosen out of all your trybes, to put his name there, and there to dwell. And * 1.135 thyther thou shalte come, and thyther ye shal brynge your burnt sacrifices, your offerynges, your tythes, and heueofferynges of your hande, your vowes, your frewylofferynges, and the fyrst gendred of your oxen / and of your shepe. And there ye shall eate before the Lorde your God / and ye shall reioyse in all that ye put your hande vn to / both ye and your housholdes / wherin the Lorde thy God hath blessed the.

Ye shall not do after all the thynges that [unspec B] we do here this day, euery man what semeth hym good in his owne eyes. For ye are not yet come to rest / & to the enheritaunce / which the Lorde your God gyueth you. But when ye go ouer Iordane / and dwell in the lande whiche the Lorde your god hath gyuen you to enherite / and when he hath gyuen you rest from all your enemyes roūde aboute / so that ye dwell in safetie / then vnto the place which the Lorde your God hath chosen / to put his name there / ye shall brynge all that I com∣maunde you: Namely your burntsacrifices, your offerynges / your tythes / the heue offe∣rynge of youre hande / and all youre syecyall vowes, whiche ye vowe vnto the Lorde. And ye shall reioyse before the lorde your god, yea and your sonnes / and your doughters / your seruauntes / and your maydes / & the Leuite that is within your gates, * 1.136 for as moche as he hath no parte nor enheritaunce with you.

Take hede that thou offer not thy burnt offerynges in euery place that thou seest▪ but in the place whiche the Lorde shall haue cho∣sen in one of thy trybes, there thou shalt offer thy burntofferynges, and there thou shalt do all that I cōmaunde the. Notwithstandyng thou mayst kyll and eate flesshe in all thy ci∣ties, whatsoeuer thy soule lusteth after, accor¦dyng to the blessynge of the Lorde thy God, whiche he hathe gyuen the, * 1.137 bothe the vn∣cleane, & the cleane may eate therof, euen as the roo, or the herte: onely ye shal not eate the blood, but powre it vpon the earth as water. [unspec C] Thou mayst not eate within thy gates the tythe of thy corne, of thy wyne, & of thy oyle, and the fyrst gendred of thyne oxen, & of thy shepe, neyther any of thy vowes, which thou vowest, nor thy frewylofferyng{is}, or heueoffe∣rynge of thyne hande: but y^u must eate them before the Lorde thy God, in the place which the Lorde thy God hath chosen: Thou, & thy sonne, and thy doughter, thy seruaunte, and thy mayde, and the Leuyte that is within thy gates: and thou shalte reioyse ❀ (and be re∣fresshed,) before the lorde thy God, in all that thou puttest thyne hande to. * 1.138 Beware, that thou forsake not the Leuite, as long, as thou lyuest vpon the earth.

If (when the lorde thy god hath enlarged thy border, as he hath promised the) thou say: I wyll eate flesshe, bycause thy soule longeth

to eate flesshe, thou mayst eate flesshe what¦soeuer thy soule lusteth. If the place whiche the lord thy god hath chosen to put his name there, be to farre from the, then thou shalte kyll of thy oxen, and of thy shepe, whiche the lorde hath gyuen the, as I haue cōmaunded the, and thou shalte eate in thyne owne citie, whatsoeuer thy soule lusteth. * 1.139 And as the too and the herte is eaten, euen so thou shalt eate them: both the cleane and the vncleane shall eate of them. But be strong * 1.140 that thou eate not the blood. For the blood is the lyfe, & thou mayst not eate the lyfe with the fleshe thou shalte not eate it, but powre it vpon the earth, as water. Se thou eate it not, that it may go well with the, and with thy chyldren after the. But thou shalte do that, whiche is ryght in the syght of the Lorde.

But ☞ thy holy thynges which thou hast and thy vowes * 1.141 thou shalte take, and come vnto the place whiche the Lorde hath chosen [unspec D] and thou shalte offre thy burntofferynges, bothe fleshe and blood vpon the aulter of the Lorde thy God, and the blood of thyne offe∣rynges shall be powred out vpon the aulter of the lorde thy God, and thou shalte eate the fleshe. Take hede, and heare al these wordes. whiche I cōmaunde the, that it may go well with the, & with thy chyldrē after the for euer, yf thou doest that whiche is good and ryght in the syght of the Lorde thy god.

When the Lorde thy god hath destroyed the nacions before the, whyther thou goest to conquere them, & thou succedest in theyr enhe¦ritaūce, and dwellest in theyr lande. Beware, that thou be not taken in a snare after them, after that they be destroyed before the, & that thou aske not after theyr Goddes, sayenge: howe dyd these nacions serue theyr Goddes? I wyll do so lykewyse. * 1.142 Nay, thou shalt not do so vnto the Lorde thy God: for all abho∣minacions, & that whiche the Lorde hateth, the same haue they done vnto theyr Goddes. For they burne bothe theyr sonnes and theyr doughters with fyre before theyr Goddes. Therfore whatsoeuer I cōmaunde you, that take hede ye do (* 1.143only, vnto the lorde) & * 1.144 put thou nought therto, nor take ought therfrō.

YF there aryse amonge you a * 1.145 Prophet [unspec A] or a dreamer of dreames, and gyue the a sygne, or a wonder: and that sygne, or wonder whiche he hath sayde, come to passe, and then saye: Lette vs go after straunge Goddes, whiche thou hast not knowen, and let vs serue them: herken not thou vnto the wordes of that prophete or dreamer of drea∣mes. * 1.146 For the Lorde thy God proueth you, to wete whyther ye loue the Lorde your god with all your herte, and with all your soule. Ye shal walke after the Lorde your god, and feare hym, kepe his cōmaundementes, and herken vnto his voyce, serue him, and cleaue vnto hym. * 1.147 And the prophete or dreamer of dreames shall dye, bycause he hath spoken to turne you away from the Lorde your God whiche brought you out of the lande of E∣gypte, and delyuered you out of the house of bondage) to thrust the out of the way, which the Lorde thy God cōmaunded the to walke in: and therfore thou shalte put the euyll a∣way from the.

If thy brother, the sonne of thy mother, [unspec B] or thyne owne sonne, or thy doughter, or the wyfe that lyeth in thy bosome, or thy frende whiche is as thyne owne soule vnto the, en∣tyce the secretly, sayenge: let vs go and serue straunge Goddes, whiche thou hast not kno∣wen nor yet thy fathers. And they be of the Goddes of the people whiche are rounde a∣boute you, whyther they be nygh vnto the or farre of from the, from the one ende of the earthe vnto the other. Thou shalte not con∣sent vnto hym, nor herken vnto hym: thyne eye shall not pitie hym, neyther shalte thou haue cōpassion on him, nor kepe hym secrete, * 1.148 but cause hym to be sleyne. Thyne hande shalbe fyrst vpon hym to kyll hym: and then the handes of all the people. And thou shalte stone him with stones that he dye, bycause he hath gone aboute to thrust the awaye from the Lorde thy God, which brought the out of the lande of Egypte, and from the house of bondage. And all Israell shall heare & feare, and shall do no more any suche whyckednes as this is, amonge you.

If thou shalte heare saye in one of thy ci∣ties [unspec C] whiche the lorde thy god hath gyuen the to dwel in, that certeyne men beynge the chyl¦dren of Beliall, are gone out from omonge you, & haue moued the enhabitours of theyr citie, sayenge: Let vs go and serue straunge Goddes, whiche ye haue not knowen. Then thou must seke, and make serche and enquire diligently. And beholde, yf it be true, and the thynge of a suretye, that suche abhomina∣cyon is wrought among you: then thou shalt smyte the dwellers of that Citie in the edge of the swerde, and destroye it vtterly, and al that is therin, and euen the very cattell ther∣of with the edge of the swerde. And gather all the spoyle of it in to the myddes of the

streete therof, & burne with fyre both the citie [unspec D] and all the spoyle therof, euery whyt for the lord thy god. And it shalbe an heape for euer, & shal not be buylte agayne. * 1.149 And there shal cleue nought of the dampned thynge in thy hande, that the lord may turne frō the fearce nesse of his wrath, & shewe the mercy, & haue compassyō on the, & multiplie the, as he hath sworne vnto thy fathers. * 1.150 Therfore shalte thou herken vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy god, to kepe all his cōmaundementes, which I cōmaunde the this day, that y^u do it, which is ryght in the eyes of the lorde thy God.

YE are the chyldren of the lord your god. [unspec A] * 1.151 Ye shal not cut your selues, nor make you any baldnes bitwene your eyes, for any dead man. * 1.152 For thou arte an holy peo∣ple vnto the lorde thy god, and the lorde hath chosen the, to be a seuerall people vnto hym selfe, aboue al the nacyons that are vpon the earth. Thou shalte * 1.153 eate no maner of abho¦minacion. These are the beastes whiche ye shall eate of: oxen, shepe, and gootes, herte, to and bugle: wylde goote, vnicorne, wylde oxe, and Camelion. And all beastes that cleue the hoofe, and slyt it in to two clawes, & chew the cud, them ye shal eate. Neuertheles, these ye shal not eate of them that chewe cud, and of them that deuyde and cleue the hoofe: the camell, the hare, and the conye: whiche chewe cud, but deuyde not the hoofe: therefore are they vncleane vnto you: and also the swyne: though he deuyde the hoofe, yet he cheweth not cud, therfore is he vncleane vnto you: ye shal not eate of the fleshe of suche, nor touche the deade carkesse of them. [unspec B]

* 1.154 These ye shall eate of all that are in the waters: All that haue fynnes & scales shal ye eate. And what soeuer haue not fyn{is} & scales ye may not eate, but it is vncleane vnto you.

Of all cleane byrdes ye shal eate: but these are they of whiche ye shall not eate: the Ele / the goshauke / & the cormeraunt / the Ixion / the vultur / the kyte after her kynde / and all kynde of rauens / the Estritche / the nyght∣crowe / the cuckowe / the sparow hauke after her kynde, the lytell owle, the great owle, the backe, the bytture, the pye, the storke, the He∣ron, the Iaye in his kynde, the lapwynge, the swalowe. And let the crepynge foules be vn∣cleane vnto you, and not be eaten of: but of all cleane foules ye maye eate.

Ye shall eate of nothyng that dyeth alone. [unspec C] But thou shalte gyue it vnto ☞ the straun∣ger that is in thy citie, that he eate it, or thou mayst sell it vnto an aliaunt. For thou arte an holy people vnto the lorde thy god. Thou shalt not * 1.155 sethe a kyd in his mothers mylke

* 1.157 If the way be to long for the, so that thou arte not able to cary it, and yf the place be far [unspec D] from the, whiche the Lorde thy God hathe chosen to set his name there (and the Lorde thy God hathe blessed the) then shalte thou make it in money, and take the money in thy hande, and go vnto the place which the lorde thy god hath chosen, and bestowe that money for what soeuer thy soule lusteth after: for oxen, and shepe, wyne, and stronge drynke, & for what souer thy Soule desyreth, and eate there before the Lorde thy God and be mery: both thou and thyne housholde, and the Le∣uyte that is ☞ within thy gates, shalte thou not forsake, * 1.158 for he hath neyther parte nor enheritaunce with the.

* 1.159 At the ende of thre yere, thou shalte bryng forth al the tythes of thyne encrease the same yere, and lay it vp within thyne owne gates. And the Leuite whiche hath no parte nor en∣herytaunce with the, shal come, and the straū¦ger, the fatherlesse and the wydowe, whiche are within thy gates, shall eate and be fylled: that the Lorde thy God may blesse the, in all the workes of thyne hande which thou doest.

¶ The forgyuenes of detres in the seuenth yeare.

IN the seuenth yeare thou shalte make a [unspec A] fredome. * 1.160 And this is the maner of the fredome, * 1.161 who soeuer lendeth ought w^t his hand vnto his neyghbour, may not aske agayn (that which he hath lent) of his neygh¦bour or of his brother: bycause it is called the Lordes free yere: yet of a straunger ❀ (and of an alyent) thou mayst call it home agayne. But * 1.162 he that is thy brother, hym shall thyne hande remytte. Neuerthelesse there shall be no begger amonge you. For the Lorde shall blesse the in the lande, which the lord thy god gyueth the, an enheritaunce to possesse it: so that thou herken vnto the voyce of the Lord thy god, to obserue and do all these cōmaun∣dementes, which I cōmaunded the this day. For the Lorde thy god hath blessed the as he

If one of thy * 1.164 brethren amonge you be poore within any of thy gates in thy lande, [unspec B] whiche the Lorde thy God gyueth the, thou shalt not hardē thyne herte, nor shut to thyne hande from thy poore brother. But open thy hande vnto hym, & lende hym sufficient for his nede, whiche he hath. Beware that there be not a wycked poynt in thyne herte, that y^• woldest say: The seuenth yere, the yere of fre∣dome is at hande, & therfore it greueth the to loke on thy poore brother, and gyuest hym nought, & he then crye vnto the lord agaynst the, & it be synne vnto the. But gyue him, and let it not greue thyne herte to gyue vnto him Bycause that for this thynge, the Lorde thy God shall blesse the in all thy workes, & in all that thou puttest thyne hande to. * 1.165 ☞ The l••••de shall neuer be without poore.

And when thou sendest him out fre from the, thou shalte not let hym go awaye emptye: but shalte gyue hym of thy shepe, of thy corne, and of thy wyne, and gyue hym of that, wherwith the Lorde thy God hath bles∣sed the. And remembre that thou wast a ser∣uaunt in the lande of Egypte, and the Lorde thy god delyuered the thence: and therfore I cōmaunde the this thynge to daye. And yf he saye vnto the, * 1.167 I wyll not go away from the bycause he loueth the & thyne house, and is well at ease with the: Then shalte thou take a naule, & nayle his eare to the dore therwith, & let hym be thy seruaūt ☞ for euer.

And let it not greue thyne eye, when thou lettest hym go out free from the, for he hathe bene worth a double hyred seruaunt to the in his seruyce syxe yeres. And the lorde thy god shall blesse the in all that thou doest. [unspec D]

And yf it be true, & the thynge of a suretye, that suche abhomina¦cyon is wrought in Israell, then shalte thou brynge forth that man or that woman (which haue cōmytted that wycked thynge) vnto the gates, and shalte stone them with stones, tyll they dye. * 1.183 At the mouth of two or thre wyt∣nesses shall he that is worthy of death, dye: And at the mouth of one wytnesse let no man dye. The handes of the witnesses shalbe fyrst vpon hym, to kyll hym, & afterward the han∣des of the people, & thou shalte put the wyc∣ked away from the.

If there ryse a matter to harde for the in [unspec B] iudgement bytwene blood & blood, bytwene plee and plee, bytwene plage and glage, and the matters come to stryfe within thy gates. Then shalte thou aryse, and get the vp vnto the place whiche the Lorde thy god hath cho∣sen, and come vnto the preestes the Leuytes, & vnto the iudge that shall be in those dayes, and aske * 1.184 and they shall shewe the, the sen∣tence of iudgement. And thou must do accor∣dyng to that, which they of that place (which the lorde had chosen) shewe the, & thou shalte obserue to do, accordynge to all that they en∣fourme the. Accordynge to the sentence of the lawe whiche they teache the, and accordynge to the iudgement which they tell the, shalte y^u do, & * 1.185 bowe not from that which they shewe the, neyther to the ryght hand nor to the lefte.

And that mā that wyl do presumptuously & wyll not herken to the preest (that standeth [unspec C] there before the Lorde thy God to ministre) or vnto the iudge, that man shall dye: and thou shalte put away euyl from Israel. And al the people shall heare and feare, and shall do no more presumpt ••ously. When thou arte come vnto the lande whiche the Lorde thy god gy∣ueth the, and enioyest it, and dwellest therin: and yf thou shalte saye * 1.186 I wyll set a kynge ouer me: lyke as all the nacyons that are a∣boute me: Then thou shalte make hym kyng ouer the, whom the Lorde thy god shal chose: Euen one from amonge thy brethren shalte thou make kynge ouer the, and thou mayste not set a straunger ouer the, whiche is not of thy brethren.

THe preestes, the Leuites, & all the trybe [unspec A] of Leui * 1.191 must haue no parte nor enhe∣ritaunce with Israel: but shall eate the offerynges of the Lorde, & his enheritaunce. Therfore shall they haue no enheritaunce a∣monge theyr brethren: But the Lorde, he is theyr enheritaūce, as he hath sayd vnto them And this is the preestes dutie of the people, & of them that offer sacrifice, whyther it be oxe, or shepe: They must gyue vnto the preest: the shoulder, & the two chekes, and the mawe, the fyrst fruytes also of thy corne, wyne and oyle & the fyrst of the woll of thy shepe shalt thou gyue hym. * 1.192 For the Lorde thy god hath cho∣sen hym out of al thy trybes, to stande and to ministre in the name of the Lorde: he and his [unspec B] sonnes for euer. If a Leuite come out of any of thy cities of al Israel, where he is a soiour ner, and come with al the lust of his herte vn¦to the place which the Lorde hath chosen: He shal ministre in the name of the lorde his god as his other brethren the Leuites do, which remayne there before the lorde. And they shal haue lyke porcions to eate, besyde that which cometh to hym of the patrimonye of his el∣ders. * 1.193 When thou arte come vnto the lande whiche the Lorde thy god gyueth the, se that thou learne not to do after the abhominaci∣ons of those nacyons.

Let there not be founde among you any one, that maketh his Sonne or doughter to [unspec C] go thorowe the fyre, or that vseth wytchcraft or a choser out of dayes * 1.194 or that regardeth the fleynge of foules, or a sorcerer, or a char∣mer, or that coūselleth with spirites, or a soth sayer, or that asketh ❀ (the trueth) at them that be deade. For all that do suche thynges are abhominacion vnto the Lorde: and by∣cause of these abhominacions the Lorde thy God dothe caste them out before the: Thou shalte be perfyte therfore ❀ (and vvithout ble mysshe) in the syght of the Lorde thy god. For these nacions which thou shalt conquere herken vnto chosers out of dayes, and vnto sorcerers: but the lorde thy god hath not suf∣fered the so to do.

The Lorde thy God wyll * 1.195 styrre vp vnto the a prophete among you: euen of thy bre∣thren, lyke vnto me, * 1.196 vnto hym ye shall her∣ken, accordynge to all that thou desyredst of the Lorde thy god in Horeb, in the day of the gatherynge togyther, when thou saydest:

* 1.197 Let me heare the voyce of my lorde god [unspec D] no more, nor se this greate fyre anye more, that I dye not. And the Lorde sayd vnto me: they haue well spoken, I wyll rayse them vp a prophete from amonge theyr brethren lyke vnto the, & wyl put my wordes in his mouth, and he shall speake vnto them, all that I shal cōmaunde hym. And who soeuer wyl not her¦ken vnto the wordes, whiche he shall speake in my name, I wyll requyre it of hym.

* 1.198 But the prophete whiche shall presume to speake a worde in my name, which I haue not cōmaunded hym to speake, or that spea∣keth in the name of straunge Gods, the same prophete shall dye. And yf thou saye in thyne herte: howe shall we knowe the worde which the Lorde hath not spoken? ❀ (This token shalt thou haue.) Euen when a prophete spea∣keth in the name of the lorde, ☞ yf the thyng folow not nor come to passe, that is the thing which the lorde hath not spoken.

For this cause must the steer f••ee thyther [unspec B] that he may lyue. Who so kylleth his neygh∣boure ygnorauntly, and hated hym not in ty∣me passed. And when a man goeth vnto the wood with his neyghboure to hewe wood, ❀ (thynkyng no harme) & as his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut downe the tree, the heade slyppeth from the hafte, & smyteth his neyghbour that he dyeth: the same shall flee vnto one of the same Cities & lyue. Leest the executer of bloode folowe after the sleer whyle his herte is hote, and ouertake hym, bycause the way is longe, and slee hym, & yet there is no cause worthy of death in hym, in

And yf the lorde thy god enlarge thy coo∣stes [unspec C] (as he hath sworne vnto thy fathers) and gyue the all the lande which he sayd he wolde gyue vnto thy fathers, thou shalte kepe all these cōmaundementes to do them, whiche I commaunde the this daye, that thou loue the Lorde thy god, and walke in his wayes euer, and adde. iii. cities mo for the vnto those. iii. that innocent blood be not shed in thy lande, whiche the lorde thy god gyueth the to enhe∣ryte, and so ☞ blood come vpon the. * 1.202 But and yf any man hate his neyghbour, and lay awayte for hym, and ryse agaynst hym, and smyte hym that he dye, and then fleeth vnto any of these cities: the elders of his citie shall sende, and fetche hym thence, & delyuer hym in to the handes of the iustyce of blood, that he may dye. Thyne eye shall not spare hym, but thou shalte put away innocent blood frō Israel, that it maye go well with the.

* 1.203 Thou shalt not remoue thy neyghbours marke, whiche they of olde tyme haue set in [unspec D] thyne enheritaunce, that thou shalte enherite in the lande, whiche the lorde thy god gyueth the to enioy it. * 1.204 One wytnesse shal not ryse agaynst a man for any maner trespasse: or for any maner sy••ie, or for any maner faute, that he offende in. * 1.205 But at the mouth of two wyt¦nesses or of thre wytnesses shal the matter be stablysshed. ‡ 1.206 If an vnryghteous wytnesse ryse vp agaynst a man to accuse hym of tres∣passe: then bothe the men whiche stryue togy¦ther, shall stande before the Lorde, before the Preestes and the Iudges, whiche shall be in those dayes, and the Iudges shall make dili∣gent inquisicion. And yf the wytnes be foūde false, and that he hath gyuen false wytnesse agaynst his brother, thē shal ye do vnto hym as he had thought to do vnto his brother, & thou shalte put euyll away from the.

And when ye are come nygh vnto battayle, the preest shall come forth to speake vnto the people, and shall say vnto them: Heare O Israel, ye encountre this day with your enemyes in battayle, let not your hertes faynte, neyther feare, nor be amased, nor a∣brede of them. For the * 1.209 lorde your god goeth* 1.210 with you, to fyght for you agaynst your ene∣myes, and to saue you.

And let the offycers speake vnto the peo∣ple, [unspec B] saynge: If any man haue buylte a newe house, and haue not dedicate it, let hym go & returne to his house, lest he dye in the battayl and an other man dedicate it.

And let the offycers speake further vnto the people, and say: * 1.212 If any man feare and be faynte herted, let hym go and returne vnto his house, leest he make his brothers herte faynte as well as his. And when the of∣fycers haue made an ende of speakyng vnto the people, they shal make captaynes of war ouer them. When thou comest nygh vnto a [unspec C] citie to fyght agaynst it * 1.213 offre them peace. And yf they answere the agayne peasablye, & open vnto the, then let all the people that is foūde therin, be tributaries vnto the, & serue the.

But yf a man fynde a betrouthed damsell in the felde, and force her, & lye with her: Then the man that laye with her shall dye alone, but vnto the damsell thou shalte do no harme: bycause there is in the damsell no cause of death. For as when a man ryseth agaynst his neygh∣boure & sleyeth hym, euyn so is this matter.

And the lorde shal scatter the amonge all nacyons, from the one ende of the world vnto the other, & there thou shalte serue straunge Gods, which thou / nor thy fathers haue knowen: euen wood & stone.

And among these nacions thou shalt fynde no ease, neyther shall the so••le of thy foote haue rest. But the Lorde shall gyue the there an vnquyet herte, and dasynge eyes, and so∣rowe of mynde. And thy lyfe shall hange be∣fore the, & thou shalte feare both day & nyght & shalt haue no trust in thy lyfe. In the mor∣nyng thou shalt say, wold god it were nyght. And at nyght thou shalte say: Wolde God it were mornyng: for feare of thyne herte which thou shalte feare, and for the syght of thyne eyes, which thou shalte se.

* 1.298 And ye came vnto this place, & Sehon the kynge of Hesbon, and Og kynge of Ba∣san [unspec B] came out agaynst vs vnto battayle, and we smote them, and toke theyr lande, & gaue it for an enherytaunce vnto the Rubenites, and Gadites, and to the halfe tribe of Ma∣nasse. * 1.299 Kepe therfore the wordes of this ap∣poyntment and do them, that ye may vnder∣stande all that ye ought to do. Ye stande this daye euery one of you before the Lorde youre God: your captaynes, youre tribes, youre el∣ders, your offycers, and al the men of Israel: your chyldren also, your wyues, & the straun¦ger that is in thyne hoost, * 1.300 from the hewer of thy wood, vnto the drawer of thy water: that thou shuldest go in to the appoyntment of the LORDE thy God, and in to his othe * 1.301 whiche the Lorde thy god maketh with the this day. For to make the a people vnto hym selfe, and that he maye be vnto the a GOD, as he hathe sayde vnto the, and as he hathe sworne vnto thy fathers Abraham, Isaac and Iacob.

I make not this bonde and this othe with [unspec C] you onely: but both with hym that standeth here with vs this day before the lord our god & also with hym that is not here with vs this daye. For ye knowe, howe we haue dwelte in the lande of Egypte, and howe we came tho∣rowe the myddes of the nacyons, whiche ye passed by. And ye haue sene theyr abhomina∣cyons and theyr ydols: wood and stone, syl∣uer and golde) whiche were amonge them.

Lest there be among you man or woman, kynred or trybe, whose herte turneth awaye this day from the Lorde our God, to go and serue the Goddes of these nacions: and leest there be among you some roote that beareth gal and wormwood, so that when he heareth the wordes of this othe, he blesse hym selfe in his herte, sayenge. * 1.302 I shall haue peace. I wyll walke in the meanyng of myne owne herte, ❀ (to put the ☞ dronken to the thyr∣stye.) And so the Lorde wyl not consent to be mercyfull vnto hym, but then the wrathe of the Lorde, and his ielousye shall smoke a∣gaynst that man, and all the curses that are wrytten in this boke shall lyght vpon hym, and the Lorde shall do out his name frome vnder heuen, and the lorde shal seperate hym vnto euyll out of all the tribes of Israel, ac∣cordynge vnto all the curses of the appoynt∣ment, that are wrytten in the booke of this law. So that the generacion to come of your [unspec D] chyldren, that shall ryse vp after you, and the straunger that shall come from a farre lande shall say, when they se the plag{is} of that lande and the dyseases wherwith the Lorde hathe smytten it, howe all the lande is burnt vp w^t brymstone & salte, & that it is neyther sowen nor beareth, nor any grasse groweth therin, lyke as in the place of the ouerthrowynge of * 1.303 Sodome, Gomor, Adama, and Zeboim: whiche the Lorde ouerthrewe in his wrathe, and angre. Euen then shall all nacions say: * 1.304 Wherfore hath the Lorde done of this facion vnto this lande? O how fearse is this great wrathe? And men shall saye: bycause they lefte the testament of the Lorde God of theyr fathers which he made with them, whē he brought them out of the lande of Egypte. For they went, and serued straunge goddes, and worshypped them: Goddes whiche they knewe not, & which had gyuen them nought

And the wrathe of the Lorde wared hoote agaynst this lande, to brynge vpon it, all the curses that are wrytten in this boke. And the Lorde cast them out of theyr lande in angre, wrath, and great indignacion, and cast them in to a straunge lande, as this daye beareth wytnesse. The secretes of the Lorde our God * 1.305 are opened vnto vs, and to oure chyldren for euer, that we maye do all the wordes of this lawe.

¶ The worde of God is at hande.

CAPI. XXX.

WHen all these wordes are come vpon [unspec A] the, the blessynge and the curse whiche I haue set before the, thou shalte turne vnto thyne herte, among all the nacyons whyther the Lorde thy God hath thrust the, and come agayne vnto the Lorde thy god, and herken vnto his voyce in all these thyng{is} that I cō∣maunde the this daye: thou and thy chyldren with all thyne herte, and al thy soule. And the Lorde thy god wyll turne thy captiuite, and haue compassyon vpon the, and wyll turne, and fet the agayne from all the nacyons, a∣monge whiche the Lorde thy God shal haue scattered the.

Though thou wast cast vnto the extreme partes of heuen: euen from thence wyll the Lorde thy God gather the, & from thence wyl he fet the, & the Lorde thy God wyll brynge the in to the lande whiche thy fathers posses∣sed, and thou shalte enioye it. And he wyll shewe the kyndnesse, and multiply the aboue thy fathers.

* 1.306 And the Lorde thy god wyl circumcyse thyne herte, & the herte of thy seede, that thou [unspec B] mayst loue the Lorde thy god with all thyne herte, and all thy soule, that thou mayst lyue.

And the Lorde thy God wyll put all these curses vpon thyne enemyes, and on them that hate the, and that persecute the. But thou shalte turne, and herken vnto the voyce of the Lorde, and do al his commaun∣dementes, whiche I cōmaunde the this day. And the Lorde thy God wyll make the plen∣teous in al the workes of thyne hande, in the fruyte of thy bodye, and in the fruyte of thy cattell, and in the fruyte of thy lande, for thy welthe. * 1.307 For the Lorde wyll turne agayne and reioyce ouer the to do the good, as he re∣ioysed ouer thy fathers: If thou herken only vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy God, to kepe his cōmaundementes, and his ordinaunces whiche are wrytten in the boke of this lawe, and yf thou turne vnto the Lorde thy God with all thyne herte and all thy soule.

* 1.308 For the commaundement whiche I cō∣maunde the this daye, is not seperated from [unspec C] the, neyther farre of. It is not in heuen, that thou nedest to ❀ (complayne, and) saye: who shall go vp for vs to heuen, and fet it vs, that we may heare it, and do it. Neyther is it be∣yonde the see: that thou shuldest saye: who shall go ouer the see for vs, and fet it vs, that we may heare it: and do it? But the worde is very nygh vnto the: euen in thy mouth and in thyne herte, that thou do it.

* 1.309 Beholde I haue set before the this daye lyfe and good, deathe and euyll: For where as I commaunde the this daye, to loue the LORDE thy God, to walke in his wayes, and to kepe his cōmaundementes, his ordi∣naunces, and his lawes (yf thou so do) thou

shalte lyue and multiplie, and the Lorde thy God shal blesse the in the lande whither thou goest to possesse it.

But and yf thyne herte turne awaye, so [unspec D] that thou wylt not heare: but shalt go astray, and worshyppe straunge goddes, and serue them. I pronounce vnto you also this daye, that ye shal surely peryshe, & that ye shal not prolong your dayes vpon the lande whyther thou passest ouer Iordane, to go & possesse it. * 1.310 I call heuen & earth to recorde this daye agaynst you, that I haue set before you lyfe & death, blessyng & cursynge: Therfore chose lyfe, that both thou & thy seed may lyue, that thou mayst loue the lorde thy god, and be o∣bedyent to his voyce, and cleaue vnto hym. For he is thy lyfe, & the length of thy dayes, that thou mayst dwell vpon the earth whiche the lorde sware vnto thy fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Iacob, to gyue them.

CAPI. XXXI.

ANd Moses went and spake these wor∣des [unspec A] vnto al Israel, & sayde vnto them: I am an hundred & xx. yere olde this day, and can no more go out & in. Also the lorde hath sayde vnto me, * 1.311 thou shalt not go ouer this Iordan. The lorde thy God he wyll go ouer before the, & he wyll destroy these nacions be∣fore the, & thou shalte conquere them. * 1.312 And Iosua he shal go before the, as the lorde hath sayd. And the lorde shall do vnto them, as he* 1.313 dyd to Sehon & Og kyng{is} of the Amorites, & vnto the lande of them, whom he destroyed

And the Lorde shall gyue them ouer before your face, that ye maye do vnto them, accor∣dyng [unspec B] vnto al the cōmaundementes which I haue cōmaūded you. Plucke vp your hertes therfore, & be strong, drede not, nor be afrayde of them: for the lorde thy god hym selfe dothe go w^t the. He shall not fayle the, nor forsake the. And Moses called vnto Iosua, & sayde vnto hym in the syghte of all Israell: * 1.314 Be strong & bolde, for thou must go w^t this peo∣ple vnto the land, which the lord hath sworne vnto theyr fathers to gyue them, & thou shalt gyue it them to enherite. And the lord he doth go before the: He shall not fayle the, neyther forsake the: feare not therfore, nor be discom∣forted. And Moses wrote this lawe, & dely∣uered it vnto the preestes the sonnes of Leui [unspec C] (which * 1.315 bare the arke of the testament of the lorde) & vnto all the elders of Israel, & Mo∣ses cōmaunded them, saynge: * 1.316 At the poynte of, vii. yeres in the solempnyte of the freyere, euen in the feast of tabernacles, when all Is∣rael is come to appeare before the Lorde thy god, in the place whiche he hath chosen: thou shalt rede this lawe before all Israel in theyr eares. Gather the people togyther: men, wo∣men & chyldren, & the straunger that is with∣in thy gates, that they may heare, and learne & feare the lorde your God, & kepe, & obserue all the wordes of this lawe, & that theyr chyl∣dren whiche knowe nothyng, may heare, and learne to feare the lorde your god, as long as ye lyue in the lande, whyther ye go ouer Ior∣dane to possesse it.

And the lorde sayd vnto Moses: Beholde [unspec D] thy dayes are come, that thou must dye. Call Iosua therfore, & stande ye in the tabernacle of wytnesse, that I may gyue hym a charge.

And Moses & Iosua went, and stode in the tabernacle of wytnesse. And the lorde appea∣red in the tabernacle: euen in the pyller of the cloude. And the * 1.317 pyller of the cloude stode ouer the dore of the tabernacle. And the lorde sayd vnto Moses: beholde, thou shalte slepe with thy fathers, & this people wyll ryse vp, & go a hooryng after straunge goddes of the lande (whyther they go) & wyll forsake me, & breake the appoyntment, which I haue made with them. And then my wrath wyll ware hoote agaynst them, and I wyl forsake them and wyll hyde my face from them, and they shall be consumed.

And moche aduersyte and tribulacyons [unspec E] shall come vpon them, so that then they wyll saye. Are not these troubles come vpon me, bycause God is not with me? And I also wyl surely hyde away my face in that daye, for all the euyls sake which they shal haue wrought in that they are turned vnto straūge good{is}.

Nowe therfore wryte ye this songe for you and teache it the chyldren of Israell, and put it in theyr mouthes, that this songe may be my wytnesse agaynst the chyldren of Is∣rael. For I wyll brynge them in to the lande, (whiche I sware vnto theyr Fathers) that floweth with mylke and honye, and they shal eate, and fyll them selues, and waxe fat, and turne vnto straunge goddes, and serue them and ❀ blaspheme me, and breake my coue∣naunt. And then when moche myscheyfe and tribulacion is come vpon them, this songe shall answere them, as a wytnesse. For it shal not be forgotten out of the mouthes of theyr seede: for I knowe theyrymaginacion, which they goo aboute euen nowe, before I haue brought them in to the lande which I sware.

✚ Moses therfore wrote this song the same reason, and taught it the chyldren of Israell.

And he gaue Iosua the son of Nun a charge and sayd: * 1.318 be bolde, & strong, for thou shalt bryng the chyldren of Israel into the lande, ☞ whiche I sware vnto them, and I wyl be with the. And whē Moses had made an ende of wrytyng out of the wordes of this lawe in a boke vnto the ende of them, Moses cōmaū¦ded the Leuites, whiche bare the arke of the testament of the Lorde, sayenge: take ye the boke of this lawe, * 1.319 & put it in the syde of the arke of the testament of the lorde your God, that it maye be there for a wytnesse agaynste [unspec G] the. For I know thy stubbornes * 1.320 & thy styffe necke: whyle I am yet alyue w^t you this day ye haue bene dysobedient vnto the lorde: and how moche more after my death? Gather vn¦to me all the elders of your tribes, & your of∣fycers, that I may speke these word{is} in theyr cares, & call heuen, & earth to recorde agaynst them. For I am sure that after my death, ye wyll vtterly corrupte, & turne from the waye which I haue cōmaunded you, & tribulacion wyll come vpon you in the latter dayes, by∣cause ye shal haue wrought wickednes in the syght of the Lorde, to prouoke hym thorowe the work{is} of your hand{is}. And Moses spake in the eares of al the congregacion of Israel the wordes of this songe, vntyll he had en∣ded them.

¶ The songe of Moses.

CAPI. XXXII. [unspec A]

HEare O ye heuens, & * 1.321 I shall speake, & let the earth heare the wordes of my mouth. * 1.322 My doctryne ☞ shall drop as doth the rayne, & my speche shal flowe as dothe the dewe, as the showre vpon the her∣bes, & as the droppes vpon the grasse. For I wyl call on the name of the Lorde: Ascribe ye honour vnto our god. * 1.323 Perfite is the worke of the moost myghty god: For all his wayes are iudgement. He is a god of truth, without wyckednesse: ryghteous, & iust is he. ❀ Fro∣wardly haue they done agaynst hym thorow theyr deformities: not his owne chyldren, but a wycked, & froward generacion. Do ye so re¦warde the lorde, O folyshe nacion & vnwyse? * 1.324 Is not he thy father & thyne owner? ‡ 1.325 hath he not made the, & ordeyned the? Remembre the dayes of the worlde that is past: cōsyder the yeres frō tyme to tyme. * 1.326 Aske thy father & he wyl shewe the: thy elders, & they wyl tell the. When the moost hyghest deuyded the na¦cyons, and when he seperated the sonnes of Adam, he put the borders of the nacions fast by the multitude of the chyldren of Israel.

For the lordes parte is his folke, & Iacob [unspec B] is the porcion of his enheritaūce. ☞ He foūd hym in a deserte lande, in a voyde grounde, & in a roryng wyldernesse. He led hym aboute, he gaue hym vnderstandyng, & kepte hym as the apple of his eye. As an Egle that styrteth vp her nest & flotereth ouer her yong, & stret∣cheth out her wyng{is}, so doth he take them vp & beareth them on his shoulders. The Lorde alone was his guyde, & there was no straūge god with hym. He caryed hym vp to an hye¦lande, that he myght eate the encrease of the feldes. * 1.327 And he fed hym w^t hony out of the rocke, & with oyle out of the most harde stone With butter of kyne, & mylke of the shepe, w^t fat of the lambes & of fat rāmes & he gootes with the fat of most plenteous wheate: & that thou myghtest drinke ☞ the most pure blood of the grape. But he that shulde haue bene [unspec C] vpryght, when he waxed fat, spurned w^t his heele. Thou art wel fed, y^u art growne thicke, thou art euen laden with fatnes. And he for∣soke god his maker, & regarded not the God of his saluacion. They prouoked hym to an∣gre with straunge goddes, euen with abho∣minacions prouoked they hym. * 1.328 They offe∣red vnto deuyls, & not to God, euen to gods whome they knewe not: to newe goddes that came newly vp, whome theyr fathers feared not. Of god that begat the, thou arte vn∣myndfull, and hast forgotten god that made the. The lorde therfore sawe it, & was angry, bycause of the prouokyng of his sonnes & of his doughters. And he sayd, I wyll hyde my face from them, & wyl se what theyr ende shal be. For they are a very frowarde generacion, chyldrē in whom is no fayth. They haue an∣gred me with that whiche is no God, & pro∣uoked me with theyr vanitis. * 1.329 And I also wyll prouoke them with those ☞ whiche are no people, I wyl angre them with a foolyshe nacion. * 1.330 For fyre is kyndled in my wrath, & burneth vnto the bottome of hell. And hathe [unspec D] consumed the earth with her encreace, & set a fyre the bottoms of the mountaynes. I wyll heape myscheues vpon them, & wyll destroye them with myne arowes. They shalbe burnt with hunger, & consumed with heate, & with bytter destruccion. * 1.331 I wyll also sende the teeth of beastes vpon them, with the furious∣nesse of serpentes in the dust. Without forth shall the swerde rob them of theyr chyldren, & within in the chambre: feare both yonge men and yong women, and the suckelynges with the men of gray heades. I haue sayde: I wyl scatter them abrode, and make the remem∣braunce of them to cease from amonge men.

Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemye, lest theyr aduersaries shulde vtterly

withdrawe themselues, and lest they shulde say: our hygh hande hath done all this, & not the Lorde. For it is a nacion without forecast neyther is there any vnderstandyng in them O that they were wyse, and vnderstode this, that they wolde consyder theyr latter ende. How shulde one chace a. M, & two put. x. M. to flyght: excepte theyr maker had solde them and excepte the lorde do shut them vp.

For theyr God is not as oure God * 1.332 oure enemyes also themselues are iudges. [unspec E]

For theyr vyne is of the vyneyarde of So∣dome, & of the feldes of Gomorra. Theyr gra¦pes are grapes of gall, and theyr clusters be bytter. Theyr wyne is a poyson of dragons, & the cruell gall of adders. Is not this layde in store with me, & sealed vp among my trea∣sures? * 1.333 Uengeaunce is myne, & I wyll re∣warde: theyr fete shall slyde in due tyme. For the day of theyr destruction is at hande & the thyng{is} that shal come vpon them, make hast. * 1.334 For the lorde shall iudge his people, & haue cōpassyon on his seruauntes: when he seeth that theyr power is gone, & that they be in a maner shut vp, or brought to nought & forsa¦ken. And he shal say * 1.335 where are theyr godd{is}? theyr god, in whom they trusted? The fat of [unspec F] whose sacrifices they dyd eate & dranke the wyne of theyr drynk offerynges? let them ryse vp and helpe you, & be your proteccion ❀ (in necessyte.) Se now, how that I, * 1.336 I am god and there is none but I, * 1.337 I kyl, & wyl make alyue: I wounde, & I wyl heale, * 1.338 neyther is there any that can delyuer out of my hande.

For I wyll lyfte vp myne hande to heuen, and wyl say: I lyue euer. If I whet the edge of my swerde, and my hande take holde to do iustyce, I wyll recompence vengeaunce on myne enemyes, and wyll rewarde them that hate me. I wyll make myne arowes dronke with bloood, and my swerde shall eate fleshe, & that for the bloode of the sleyne, & for theyr captiuite, synce the ☞ begyn̄yng of the wrath of the enemye. * 1.339 Prayse ye hethen his people, for he wyl auenge the blood of his seruaunt{is}, & wyll auenge hym of his aduersaryes, & wyl be mercyfull vnto his lande, & to his people.

And Moses came and spake all the wor∣des [unspec G] of this song in the cares of the people, he & Iosua the son of Nun. And Moses spake all these wordes vnto the ende to all the peo∣ple of Israell, and sayde vnto them: * 1.340 Set youre hertes vnto all the wordes whiche I ☞ testifie vnto you this daye: and ye shall commaunde them vnto youre chyldren, that they maye obserue, and do all the wordes of this lawe. And let it not be a vayne worde vn¦to you: for in it is your lyfe, and thorowe this worde ye shall prolonge youre dayes in the lande whyther ye go ouer Iordane, to con∣quere it. And the Lorde spake vnto Moses the selfe same daye, sayenge. Get the vp into this mountayne Abarim. ❀ (That is to say, a passage) vnto mounte Nebo, whiche is in the lande of Moab ouer agaynst Ierico. And be¦holde the lande of Canaan, which I gyue vn¦to the chyldren of Israel to possesse: And dye in the mounte whiche thou goest vp vnto, & thou shalte be gathered vnto thy people.

* 1.341 As Aaron thy brother dyed in mounte Hor, and was gathered vnto his people: by∣cause ye trespassed agaynst me amonge the chyldren of Israel * 1.342 at the waters of stryfe, at Cades in the wyldernesse of Zin: For ye sanctified me not amonge the chyldren of Is∣rael. Thou shalte therfore se the lande before the, and shall not go thyther vnto the lande whiche I gyue the chyldren of Israel.

¶ Moses dyenge, blesseth all the trybes of Israell.

CAPI. XXXIII.

THis is the blessynge wherwith Moses [unspec A] the man of God blessed the chyldren of Israel before his deathe, and sarde: * 1.343 The Lorde came from Smay and shewed his beames * 1.344 from Seir vnto them, and ap∣peared from mount Pharan, & he came with thousandes of ☞ sayntes, and in his ryghte hande a lawe of fyre for them. And he loued the people. * 1.345 All his sayntes also are in thy handes. They ❀ were smytten to go after thy feete, and to receyue of thy wordes.

Moses gaue vs a lawe, to be an enheri∣taunce of the congregacyon of Iacob. And he was in Israell kynge when the heades of the people, and the tribes of Israell were ga∣thered togyther. Let Ruben lyue, & not dye: & be fewe in nombre. This same also happen to Iuda. And he sayd: heare lorde the voyce of Iuda▪ & brynge hym vnto his people: his handes shalbe good ynough for him, yf thou helpe hym agaynst his enemyes.

And vnto Leut he sayde: ☞ Thumin•• and Urim shall be with the, and with euery [unspec B] one that is godly in the. Thou diddest proue hym also in the temptacyon, and stryuedst with hym at the waters of stryfe. He that hath sayd vnto his father, and to his mother I haue not sene hym. ☞ And he that knewe not his brethren, nor knewe his owne chyldrē those are they that haue obserued thy worde, and shall kepe thy couenaunte. They shall teache Iacob thy iudgementes, and Israell thy law. They shal put sence before thy nose, and the bur••sacrifice vpon thyne aulter.

Blesse lorde his fyrst fruytes and accepte the worke of his handes: smyte the loynes of them that ryse agaynst hym, & of them that hate hym, that they ryse not agayne.

And of Ben Iamin he sayde. The Lordes derlyng shall dwel in safetie vpon hym, and the Lorde shall couer hym all the day long, & he shall dwell bytwene his shoulders. [unspec C]

And of Ioseph he sayd: blessed of the lorde is his lande for the fruytes of heuen, thorow the dewe and sprynges that lye bynethe: and for the swete fruytes of the encrease of the sonne, and rype fruytes of the moone: For the fyrst fruyte of the principal mountaynes, and for the Fruytes / that the hylles brynge forth for euer, and for the fruyt{is} of the earth, and fulnesse therof: and for the good wyll of hym that dwelte in the * 1.346 Busshe, shall the blessynge come vpon the heade of Ioseph, & vpon the top of the head of hym that was se∣perated from among his brethrē ☞ his fyrst borne oxe hath beautye, and his hornes are as the hornes of an vnicorne. And with them he shall trouble the nacions togyther, euen vnto the endes of the worlde. These are also the many thousandes of Ephram, and the thousandes of Manasses. And vnto Zabu∣lon he sayde: Reioyse Zabulon in thy goyng out, & thou Isachar in thy tentes. They shall call the people vnto the hyll, & there they shal offre offerynges of ryghteousnesse. For they shal sucke of the aboundaunce of the see, and of treasure hyd in the sande.

And vnto Gad he sayde: blessed be the rowme maker Gad: he dwelleth as a Lyon, [unspec D] that catcheth the arme with the heed. He saw therfore his begynnynge, & that there was a porcyon there to hyde the lawe gyuer, and he came with the heades of the people, & executed the ryghtousnes of the lorde, & his iudgemen¦tes with Israel. And vnto Dan he sayd. Dan is a lyons whelpe, he shall flow from Basan. And vnto Nepthali he sayd, Nephthali hath aboundance of Gods good pleasure, and is fylled with the blessynge of the lorde, & shall haue his possessyons towarde the souhtwest.

And to Aser he sayd: Aser shall be blessed with chyldren: he shal be acceptable vnto his brethren, and shall dyp his foote in oyle: Thy dwellyng be Yron and brasse, and thyne age be as thy youth. There is none lyke vnto the God of Israel, which though he syt vpon the heuen as vpon an horse, yet is he thy helper, whose glorye is in the celestyall places. The eternall God is thy refuge, and vnder the ar∣mes of the euerlastyng god shalte thou lyue. He shall cast out the enemye before the, & say: destroy. Israel then shall dwel in safetie, and alone. And the eye of Iacob shall be vpon a lande of corne & wyne, and his heuens shall drop the dewe. Happye arte thou O Israell, who is lyke vnto the? O people, that arte sa∣ued in the Lorde, whiche is the shylde of thy helpe, & swerde of thy glory. Thyne enemyes haue lost theyr strength to the warde, & thou shalte ☞ treade vpon the hyght of them.

ANd * 1.347 Moses went from the playne of Moab vp in to mount Nebo, and vnto the top of * 1.348 the hyl that is ouer agaynst Iericho. And the Lorde shewed hym all the lande of Gilead, euen vnto Dan, & all Neph∣thali, and the lande of ☞ Ephraim and Ma∣nasse, and the lande of Iuda: euen vnto the vttermost see, and the south, and the region of the playn of Iericho / the Citie of paulme trees, euen vnto Zoar. And the Lorde sayde vnto hym. * 1.349 This is the lande which I sware vnto Abraham, Isaac and Iacob, sayenge: I wyll gyue it vnto thy seede. I haue caused the also to se it with thyne eyes, * 1.350 but thou shalte not go ouer thyther.

So Moses the seruaunt of the lorde dyed [unspec B] there in the lande of Moab accordyng to the worde of the Lorde. And he buryed hym in a valey in the lande of Moab ouer agaynste the house of Peor, but no mā knoweth of his sepulcre vnto this day. Moses was an hun∣dred and twentye yere olde when he dyed: his eye was not dym, nor his naturall coloure a∣bated. And the chyldren of Israel * 1.351 wepte for Moses in the playn of Moab thyrtie dayes. And the dayes of wepynge and mournynge for Moses were ended.

And Iosua the sonne of Nun was full of [unspec C] the spirite of wysdome: * 1.352 for Moses had put his handes vpon hym. And the chyldren of Israel were obedient vnto hym, and dyd as the Lorde cōmaunded Moses. And there a∣rose not a prophete synce in Israel lyke vnto Moses, whom the Lorde knewe face to face, accordynge vnto all the myracles and won∣ders whiche the Lorde sent hym to do in the lande of Egypte, vnto Pharao and all his seruauntes, and before all his lande: and ac∣cordynge to all that myghtye hande, and all the great visions, whiche Moses shewed in the syght of all Israell.

¶ The ende of the fyfth booke of Moses, called in the Hebrue Elle Hadde∣barim: and in the latyn Deuteronomium.
