the garments and put vpon Aarón the tunicle and the robe of the Ephod and Ephod and the brest plate and shalt close them to hym with the broydred garde of the Ephod 6 Then thou shalt put the mitre

ãâã and the hands of his sonnes 10 After thou shalt present the calf before the Tabernacle of the Congregacion * Aaron and his sonnes shall put their hand vppon the head of the calf 11 So thou shalt kill the calf before the Lorde at the dore of the Tabernacle of the Congregacion 12 Then thou shalt take of the blood of the calf and put it vpon the hornes of the altar with thy finger and shalt powre al the rest of the blood at the fote of the altar 13 * Also thou shalt take al the fat that couereth the inwardes and the kall that is on the liuer and the two kidneis and the fat that is vpon theÌ and shalt burne them vpon the altar 14 But the flesh of the calf and his sking and his douÌg shalt thou burne with fire without the hoste it is a sinne offring 15 ¶ Thou shalt also take one ram

wash the inwardes of him and his legges shalt put them vpon the pieces thereof vpon his head 18 So thou shalt burne the whole ram vpó the altar for it is a burnt offring vnto the Lord for a swete sauo ur it is an offring made by sire vnto the Lord. 19 ¶ And thou shalt take the other ram and Aarón and his sonnes shall put their hands vpon the head of the ram 20 Then shalt thou kill the ram and take of his blood and put it vpon the lap of Aarons ãâã and vpoÌ the lap of the right eare of his sonnes and vpon the thumbe of their right hand and vpon the great toe of their right fote and shalt sprinkle the blood vpon the altar round about 21 And thou shalt take of the blood that is vpon the altar and of the anointing oyle shalt sprinkle it vpon Aaron and vpon his garments and vpon his

of bread teÌpered with oyle one wafer out of the basket of the vnleauened bread that is before the Lord. 24 And thou shalt put all this in the hands of Aaron and in the hand of his sonnes and shalt shake them to and fro before the Lord 25 Againe thou shalt receiue them of their hands and burne theÌ vpon the altar besides the burnt offring for a swete sauour before the Lord for this is an offring made by fire vnto the Lord. 26 Likewise thou shalt take the brest of the raÌ of the consecracion whiche is for Aarón shalt shake it to h and fro before the Lorde and it shal be thy parte 27 And thou shalt sanctifie the brest of the shaken offrings the shulder of the heaue offrings which was shaken to and fro whiche was hcaued vp of the ram of the consecracion which was for Aarón and whiche was

that shal be Priest in his stede shal put them on seuen dayes when he cometh into the Tabernacle of the Cógregacion to minister in the holy place 31 ¶ So thou shalt take the ram of the consecracion and sethe his flesh in the holy place 32 * And Aarón and his sonnes shal eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that is in ãâã basket at the dore of the Tabernacle of the Congregacion 33 So they shal eat these things whereby their atonement was made to consecrat theÌ and to sanctifie theÌ but a stranger shal not eate thereof because they are holy things 34 Now if ought of the flesh of the coÌsecratioÌ or of the bread remaine vnto the morning then thou shalt burne the rest with fire it shal not be eateÌ because it is an holy thing 35 Therefore shalt thou do thus vnto Aarón and vnto his sonnes according to all things which I haue commanded thee seuen daies shalt thou consecrat them 36 And shalt offer euerie day a calf or a sinne offring for reconciliation and thou shalt clense the altar when thou hast offred vpon it for reconciliation and shalt anoint it to sanctifie it 37 Seuen daies shalt thou clense the altar and sanctifie it so the altar shal be moste holy whatsoeuer

wicked innocent * visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon the childreÌ and vpon the childrens children vnto the third and fourth generacion 8 Then Mosés made haste and bowed him self to the earth and worshipped 9 And said ô Lorde I praye thee if I haue founde grace iÌ thy sight that the Lord wolde now go with vs for it is a stifnecked people and pardone our iniquitie and our sinne and take vs

Lord whose Name is * Ielous is a ielous God 15 Lest thou make a * coÌpact with the inhabitants of the land when they go a whoring after their gods and do sacrifice vnto their gods some man call thee and thou * eat of his sacrifice 16 And lest thou take of their* daughters vnto thy sonnes aÌd their daughters go a whoring after their gods and make thy sonnes go a whoring after their gods 17 Thou ãâã make thee no gods of metal 18 ¶ The feast of vnleauened bread shalt thou kepe seueÌ dayes shalt thou eat vnleauened bread as I commanded thee in the time of the * moneth of Abib for in the moneth

thou shalt worke and in the seuenth day thou shalt rest bothe in earyng time and in the haruest thou shalt rest 22 ¶ * Thou shalt also obserue the feast of wekes in the time of the first frutes of wheat haruest and the feast of gathering frutes in the end of the yere 23 ¶ Thrise in a yere shal al your men children appeare before the Lorde Iehouáh God of Israel 24 For I wil cast out the nacions before thee and enlarge thy coastes so that no man shall desire thy land when thou shalt come vp to appeare before the Lorde thy God thrise in the yere 25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leauen nether shal ought of the sacrifice of the feast of Passeouer be left vnto the mornyng 26 The first ãâã frutes of thy land thou shalt bring vnto the house of the Lorde thy God yet shalt thou not se the a kid in his mothers milke 27 And the Lord said vnto Mosés Write thou these wordes for after the tenoure of* these wordes I haue made a couenant with thee with Israél 28 So he was there with the Lorde fourtie daies and fourtie nights and did nether eat bread nor drinke water and he wrote in the Tables * the wordes of the couenant ãâã the ten commandements 29 ¶ So when Mosés came downe froÌ mount Sinái the two Tables of the Testimonie were in Mosés hand as he descended from the mount now Mosés wist not that the skin of his face shone bright after that God had talked with

The purging of the San ctuarie 17 The cleÌsing of the Tabernacle 21 The Priest confesseth the sinnes of the people 29 The feast of clensing sinnes 1 FVrthermore the Lord spake vnto Mosés * after the death of ãâã two sonnes of Aarón when they came to offer before the Lord and dyed 2 And the Lord said vnto Mosés Speake vnto Aarón thy brother * that he come not at al times in to the Holy place within the vaile before the Merciseat whiche is vppon the Arke that he dye not for I will appeare in the cloude vpon the Merciseat 3 After this sort shall Aarôn come into the Holy place euen with a

with a linen mitre these are the holy garments therefore shal he wash his flesh in water when he doeth put them on 5 And he shall take of the Congregacion of the children of Israél two he goates for a sinne offring and a ram for a burnt offrying 6 Then Aarón shal offer the bullocke for hys sinne offryng * and make an atonement for him selfe and for his house 7 And he shal take the two he goates present theÌ before the Lord at the dore of the Tabernacle of the Congregacion 8 Then Aarón shall cast lots ouer the two he goates one lot for the Lorde and the other for the Scape goat 9 And Aarón shal offer the goat vpon which the Lords lot shall fall and make him a sinne offring 10 But the goat on which the lot shal fal to be the Scape goat shal be preseÌted aliue before the Lord to make reconciliacion by hym and to let him go as a Scape goat into the wildernes 11 Thus Aarôn shal offer the bullocke for his sinne offring and make a reconciliacion for him selfe and for his house and shal kil the bullocke for his sinne offring 12 And he shal take a censer ful of burning coles from of the Altar before the Lord his handefull of swete in cens beaten small and bring it within the

of the bullocke * sprinkle it with his finger vpoÌ the Merciseat Eastward and before the Merci seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with hys finger seuen times 15 ¶ Then shall he kill the goat that is the peoples sinne offryng and bryng his blood within the vaile and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullocke and sprinkle it vpon the Merciseat and before the Merciseat 16 So he shall purge the Holy place from the vnclennes of the children of Israél from their trespasses of all their sinnes so shall he do also for the Tabernacle of the Congrega cion placed with them in the middes of their vnclennes 17 * And there shal be no man in the Tabernacle of the Congregacion when he goeth in to make an atonemeÌt in the Holy place vntil he come out and haue made an atonemeÌt for him selfe and for his housholde and for all the Congregacion of Israél 18 After he shal go out vnto the Altar that is before the Lorde and make a reconciliacion vpon it and shall take of the blood of the bullocke and of the blood of the goat and put it vpoÌ the hornes of the Altar round about 19 So shal he sprinkle of the blood vpoÌ it with his finger ãâã times and clense it and halo we it from the vnclennes of the children of Israél 20 ¶ When he hathe made an end of purgyng the Holyplace and the Tabernacle of the Congregacion and the altar then he shall bring the liue goat 21 And Aarón shal put bothe his hands vpon the head of the liue goat and confesse ouer him all the iniquities of the children of Israél and al their trespasses in all their sinnes putting them vpon the head of the goat and shal send him away by the hand of a man appointed into the wildernes 22 So the goat shal beare vpon him all their iniquities into the laÌd that is not in habited he shal let the goat go into the wildernes 23 After Aarón shal come into the Tabernacle of the Congregacion and put of the linen clothes which he put on when he went into the Holy place and leaue them there 24 He shal wash also his flesh with water in the Holy place and put on his owne raiment and come out and make his burnt offring and the burnt offring of the people and make an atonement for him self and for the people 25 Also the fat of the sinne offring shal he bur ne vpon the Altar 26 And he that caryed forthe the goat called the Scape goat shal wash his clothes and wash his flesh in water and after that shal co me into the hoste 27 Also the bullocke for the sinne offring and the goat for the ãâã offring whose blood was broght to make a reconciliacion in the Holy place shal one * cary out without the hoste to be burnt in the fire with their skins and with their flesh and with their doung 28 And he that burneth them shal ãâã his clo thes and wash his flesh in water and afterwarde come into the hoste 29 ¶ So

among you 30 For that * day shal the Priest make an atonement for you to clense you ye shal be clea ne from all your sinnes before the Lord. 31 This shal be a Sabbath of rest vnto you and ye shal

which were tolde her from the Lord. 46 Then Marie said My soule magnifieth the Lord 47 And my spirit reioyceth in God my Sauiour 48 For he hathe loked on the poore degre of his seruant for beholde
