[The Pentateuch]

¶ The .XXII. Chapter.

And the Lord communed with Moses saying: bid Aaron and his sons that they abstain from the hallowed things of the children of Israel which they have hallowed unto me, that they pollute not mine holy name: for I am the Lord. Say unto them: whosoever he be of all your seed among your generation after you / that goeth unto the hallowed things which the children of Israel shall have hallowed unto the Lord / his uncleanness shall be upon him: and that soul shall perish from out of my sight. I am the Lord.

ANd the Lorde comened with Moses saynge: byd Aaron and his sonnes that they absteyne from the halowed thynges of the childern of Israel which they haue halowed vn to me, that they polute not myne holy name: for I am the Lorde. Saye vnto them: whosoeuer he be of all youre seed amonge youre generacion after you / that goeth vnto the halowed thinges which the childern of Israel shall haue halowed vnto the Lorde / his vnclennes shalbe apon him: and that soule shall perysh from out of my syghte. I am the Lorde.

None of the seed of Aaron that is a leper or that hath a running sore / shall eat of the hallowed things until he be clean. And whosoever twitcheth any unclean soul or man whose seed runneth from him by night, or whosoever twitcheth any worm that is unclean to him / or man that is unclean to him / what ⟨image 224⟩soever uncleanness he hath: the same soul that hath touched any such thing / shall be unclean until even / and shall not eat of the hallowed things until he have washed his flesh with water. And than when the sun is down he shall be clean and shall afterward eat of the hallowed things: for they are his food. Off a beest that dyeth alone or is rent with wild beasts / he shall not eat / to defile him self therewith: I am the Lord. But let them keep therefore mine ordinance / lest they lade sin upon them and dye therein when they have defiled them selves: for I am the Lord which sanctify them.
